For the party season, I’d go for statement shoes or a bag with my LBD, and minimum make-up, like a hint of lip colour” Since time immemorial, the little black dress has saved women everywhere from the ‘what to wear’ dilemma – and never once made it feel repetitive. To celebrate the season of parties, holidays, and all things glam, eight purveyors of fashion who call the shots on the fits of all our favourite A-listers pick their go-to LBDs, and show you how to suit the iconic style to your own liking.
