Every fashion lover knows that the ultimate wardrobe staple is that of a Little Black Dress.
Versatile, chic and easy to dress up and down, the closet essential has been a fan favourite since its inception in the 1920s when Coco Chanel designed a version that at the time was described as "radical."
Now, 100 years on from its initial inception, the fashion favourite is still very much at the top of the style podium with Alexa Chung leading the charge.

The style muse opted for a sleek and simple version titled the Stell Dress in Crepe from her friend's brand 16 Arlington. The micro mini fitted the former model like a glove and featured a mid-thigh hem length and a bandeau-like strapless neckline.
Alexa styled the statement mini with a pair of black strappy satin pointed-toe pumps, adorned with delicate bows on each strap. Putting all emphasis on the dress, Alexa opted for minimal jewellery, only adding a stack of simple rings to a few fingers.

Though Alexa’s chosen LBD was sleek and simple, Rita Ora recently proved that the style comes in many shapes and forms, recently donning a leather zip-up version for an Italian holiday escape.
As Alexa so effortlessly proved, the favourable little black dress is perfect for all occasions and will continue to be a style staple in the wardrobes of the fashion-obsessed around the world.
