The classic little black dress (LBD) never goes out of fashion and there are so many different ways to style it. A safe bet on the red carpet no matter the occasion, the LBD is spotted at almost every celebrity event year after year.
We’ll admit it took quite a few internal dilemmas to whittle down our shortlist to a mere five options. But read on for all of the best celebrity LBDs and the incredible women who rocked them.
Beyonce at the BFI London Film Festival
Vogue called Beyonce’s jaw-dropping Valdrin Sahiti dress the “Ultimate LBD” and we’d have to agree. When the international superstar rocked up wearing this velvet strapless dress at the BFI London Film Festival in October 2021 we were a little overwhelmed by how magical she looked. We’d pair this look with a timeless scent like Bright Crystal Absolu by Versace.
Dua Lipa at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball
Dua Lipa wore this magical vintage Bob Mackie off-the-shoulder dress at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball in London in December 2022 and it was undoubtedly our favorite look of the night. She paired it with black tights and suede stilettos for a truly classic look. We’d add a spritz of a vintage-esque scent like Mackie by Bob Mackie.
Hailey Bieber at the Tiffany & Co. Miami Holiday Residence Fete
Hailey Bieber loves a LBD and the influencer has been spotted wearing this timeless piece plenty of times before. But the LBD she wore to the Tiffany & Co. Miami Holiday Residence fete in December 2022 might just be our top LBD yet. She finished off this dazzling look with layers of Tiffany & Co. diamond jewelry and looked a whole million dollars. We’d pair it with a romantic scent like Tiffany & Love by Tiffany.
Rihanna Dazzling With Purple Fur
The best celebrity LBD looks might usually be paired with silver and gold tones but Rihanna accessorized hers with a huge purple fluffy jacket instead. Worn to the Gucci show at Milan Fashion Week in February 2022, Rihanna caused more than a stir with her vibrant fit. We’d include an attention-grabbing scent like Gucci Rush.
Mila Kunis at the Luckiest Girl Alive premiere
We’ve been missing Mila Kunis lately so we were super happy to see her at the Luckiest Girl Alive premiere in New York City in September 2022. And Mila wasted no time garnering attention in her stunning black Carolina Herrera minidress and knee-high boots. A new take on the classic LBD, it’s a look we’d love to recreate ourselves. We’d pair it with a sophisticated perfume like Burberry Touch by Burberry.
Now that we’ve finished talking you through the best celebrity LBD looks, you can start plotting your next stylish outfits with fresh inspiration in tow. Don’t forget to finish off the look with a new signature scent! You’ll find a huge range of discounted perfumes here at perfume.com.
