Take a cue from Kylie Minogue and add a fun pop of color to a chic little black dress. The look works thanks to her otherwise monochromatic look complete with black shoes and handbag. The best part? Most likely you’ve got everything in your wardrobe already, just add a pair of bright tights for a quick update.

Jessica Biel showed up looking chic, young and fresh at the premiere for her new movie, Home of the Brave the other night. Take a cue from this classic, yet thoroughly modern, look for your next cocktail or holiday party.

Wearing her hair in a messy bun tamed with a simple headband offset with smokey eyes and nude lips, her dangling earrings are the only jewelry she needs. Her simple little black dress has a flattering empire waist style with a full knee length skirt. A patent bow belt adds a finishing touch. A sleek clutch and peep toe pumps complete the look.

Perfection from head to toe!

Oh, how we miss Sarah Jessica, Carrie and Sex and the City…which is why we were so excited to see her out on the town attending a book launch party in NYC. Always known for her brave and fashion-forward style choices, she paired a long Alexander McQueen skirt with a leather obi belt and simple t-shirt. Though we almost love the look, there seems to be a bit too much going on up top with the mesh scarf and black bra showing through the tee. But who are we to criticize Ms. Parker?

You can get the look with this high waist corset belt ($68) and this Softwear burnout velvet skirt ($138) paired with a simple tee or fitted shirt - a chic look for the holidays.

What do you think of this mix-and-match look?
