This week, celebrities had us itching to wear black for a formal event. Sure, I don't get invited to galas often, but it would be nice to think that I'd have an outfit ready to go if needed, thanks to a little inspiration from these A-listers. Maybe it was because Fashion Week [1] was in full swing in New York, but these seven stars reinvigorated my love for black.
Zendaya [2] looked stunning in a little black lace slip dress with a leather trench coat on top during the Marc Jacobs show [3]. Ashley Graham opted for a sexy, sheer dress with a bodysuit underneath for Rihanna's Savage x Fenty runway [4] show. Kendall Jenner also followed suit in a sheer number [5] but showed us how to style it during the daytime with the addition of tall leather boots. If you want to have all eyes on you, then take a cue from Rihanna [6]. The singer wowed us all in a Givenchy gown [7] that had an unexpected yet elegant white crinoline hemline for her fifth annual Diamond Ball. In the end, whether you're looking for a black dress for a brunch with your friends or a formal event, these outfits will no doubt inspire you.
