Little Black Dress, BIG PERSONALITY
Grazia India|December 2023
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
Little Black Dress, BIG PERSONALITY

NAMITA ALEXANDER

"The LBD today is about getting that one high quality dress that flatters you in all the right places. I'm wearing a sheer dress because I think sheer is having a moment right now, and it looks sexy while being covered. I've paired it with these wooden cross earrings I got custom made in London. Funky stockings, gloves are my favourite go-to accessories for this time of the year - or a nice corset belt that's how I'd jazz it up"

SHEEFA GILANI

"The LBD has gone beyond the boundary of being that little dress - it doesn't confine women, it defines power. I'm wearing one that has been upcycled from vintage fabric, and I'm styling it with my thrifted cowboy boots. The best way to glam your LBD is with lots of jewellery - I do that by wearing these pieces inherited from my grandmother"

CHANDINI WHABI

"Every girl today owns a version of the little black dress. My pick is this deconstructed suiting skirt from Sacai that I've paired with an oversized black shirt and stockings, with accessories. Make it a super hot mini with sheer stockings, a beautiful pair of heels and vintage jewellery, and you're party ready"
