Scarlett Johansson just gave us a masterclass in how to style a little black dress as she attended the SNL 50th Anniversary Special. Wearing a black Prada midi dress with a diamante trimmed bodice and straps, she opted for simple silver heeled sandals, sparkling diamond jewellery and slicked-back hair.
There's a reason the little black dress remains a go-to, especially when looking for stylish dresses to hide a tummy or a dress with a sleek and shaping silhouette. The dark hue is universally flattering and remains one of the best choices for date night outfits, special occasions or for smart work events. However, styling a little black dress is something of an art which Scarlett has nailed perfectly.
Everything about this look works together; from the strappy silver heels to her diamond tennis bracelet, these glittering details elevate the dress without overpowering it. Plus the added diamante straps and sparkling embellishments on the garment truly make it shine.
