26 Chic Black Dresses

Modern LBDs, From Jennifer Garner's Tailored Look to Goth Minis

Stars like Jennifer Garner are commonly seen rocking black; high end designers around the world create various styles in the shade, and the chance you know a woman with a feminine black number in her closet is guaranteed.

The little black dress (these days often just referred to as “LBD") is a staple in women’s wardrobes around the world. A chic LBD lends itself well to almost all fancier occasions (careful with weddings), semi-formal events and nice dinners anytime of year, with the added benefit of being flattering for every skin tone. Factor in the fact that black is known for having slimming qualities, and it’s no wonder so many women have at least one cute LBD hanging in their closets. 

The images below show celebs in black gowns, kicking off with Jennifer Garner's gorgeous Breakfast at Tiffany's style dress and followed by Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Sienna Miller, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Mary Kate Olsen, Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna and the girls of The Hills. The cluster below highlights some of the cutest LBDs featured on Trend Hunter.
