We don’t need to tell you how timeless the LBD is. Classic, sophisticated and always on trend, little black dresses are a mainstay as we head into the festive season. And Julianne Moore proves that they can work for any number of occasions you’re invited to in the coming weeks.
At an event in LA last month, she kept things understated and elegant in a plain black shift dress with long sleeves and a plunging, cut-out neckline. Accessorising the look, she created a colour-drenched outfit by pairing her dress with matching black tights and court shoes.

There’s the sleek monochrome look Julianne went for, but you could easily add a pop of colour with a bright shoe and coordinating handbag, or add extra sparkle with more metallic accessories. Switching these up for each event will totally transform the same dress over and over again.
