While the little black dress has become a sartorial essential which needs no introduction, this wardrobe staple finds itself receiving a makeover every season. As we settle into frigid, frosty temperatures, try turning to our favourite style-conscious celebrities as you revamp your classic LBD. With the addition of longer sleeves and flowing layers, the little black dress can easily become cold weather appropriate. Without further ado, here are a few Hollywood approved ways to rock the LBD into December.

Jessica Chastain

The 39-year-old actress looks absolutely beautiful in this modest, full-sleeved black frock. Meanwhile, the flirty hemline and crochet lace detail around the bust help to bring whimsy to an otherwise conservative look. As we prepare for dropping temperatures, look for higher collars and more coverage, and leave the sleeveless LBDs of early autumn behind. For a finishing touch, Chastain’s classic black leather satchel and matching pumps transform her little black dress into the ultimate elegant outfit.

Gigi Hadid

While Gigi Hadid can often be spotted in barely there ensembles, the 21-year-old model is just as chic in this strappy black midi dress layered with a longline leopard print coat. For a contrasting effect, combine your own black dress with an edgy animal print topper.

Kate Beckinsale

The 43-year-old star is a beautiful sight in this fitted black turtleneck dress, which showcases her svelte figure. The longer length, thicker fabric and turtleneck collar make her black frock an appropriate fit for the chilly temperatures. If you’re looking for an inspired accessorizing touch, combine a similar dress with a pair of colourful patterned pumps.
