While spring and summer might not seem like a time for wearing a “little black dress” (otherwise known as LBD), there are always events were a great LBD is useful to have in the closet and often it’s the fall-back position in case the outfit doesn’t work for a specific event. What’s a girl to do when she needs to hunt down a great LBD?
Turn to me, a stylist who has worked with celebrities and consumers about how to tune up their wardrobe. Who couldn’t use a new LBD in their wardrobe? I have 3 that are basics and work well for any event but I saw these dresses and thought that they would be a great fit for just about anyone. Plus given the type of dresses I am showing here- it’s a smart move to buy them now because it seems like they will be a hot ticket later on (plus you have an opportunity to share your fashion savvy early).
I saw this killer dress from Maggie London and the credit card started burning in my hand! This is an awesome dress suitable for almost any occasions.
The Illusion dress is dramatized with a sheer neckline and cap sleeves trimmed in black. It is sophisticated as it is sexy. A sweetheart bodice lends glamour and allure to the retro-inspired silhouette. The illusion top is delicately gathered, drawing the eye to the décolleté. Fitted throughout the torso, and highlighted with vertical seams, the style is instantly slenderizing. The dress retails for $148 and is available for pre-sale at www.maggylondon.com.
Already selling out once, and now back and available for pre-order on MaggyLondon.com, The Illusion Dress is the hottest new silhouette of the season. Tori Spelling and Brooke Burke were both spotted in the consummate LBD recently. The Illusion Dress is very affordable at less than $150 ! Do check out the rest of Maggie London dresses because they are even more varied and affordable!
Play it safe with black accessories (shoes and bag) but instead give the dress a bit more sizzle and spark with metallic glam of shoes and/or bag. You might want to a statement shoe in the of-the-moment Pantone Radiant Orchid hue or try something in a deeper purple!
For those who want a feminine look, check out this fabulous dress worn by Julie Delpy by Oliver Tolentino Couture. A gorgeous black lace dress that’s so sexy and yet whispers “sexy” rather than shouting it from the rooftops.
Academy Award nominee Julie Delpy, attended The Hollywood Reporter’s Nominees Night in Los Angeles recently wearing a black guipure and French lace cocktail dress by Oliver Tolentino Couture. Julie recently wore another lace frock by the designer at an event in Los Angeles last month. See similar dresses on the Oliver Tolentino Couture website.
Julie Delpy looks pretty amazing. The interesting part is that if you visit the website, you will see dresses in lots of colors!
Awesome choices for the red carpet moments in your life!

The lacy and see through sections give them more pizzaz than a totally black dress…nice.
