A Week of the Little Black Dress

One Little Black Dress: Five Different Ways

Elle's Creative Director Joe Zee stopped by our studio to offer a modern take on the Little Black Dress -- make that several takes. This versatile wardrobe staple can carry you from day to night...if you know how to accessorize. We took one LBD (shopping info below) and got five looks out of it -- that's a whole workweek of style.
