In the new movie Murder On The Orient Express, the always gorgeous Michelle Pfeiffer stars as the elegant Mrs. Hubbard. Although the crime drama film may be set in the 1930s, the vintage styles are also perfectly wearable for today’s modern age. If you have any upcoming holiday parties on your social calendar, try drawing your sartorial cues from the actress’ chic character. We are particularly admiring this sleeveless violet sheath, which flatters her figure and creates a feminine silhouette. Try getting the look for yourself with these three inspired frocks. 

Calvin Klein Sleeveless Scuba Sheath Dress, $90: We are liking the demure round neckline, dark violet colour and seamed detail on this sheath. For fashionistas who prefer a richer shade of purple, there’s nothing quite like a pop of purple to leave you feeling royal.

American Living Cowl-Neck Sheath Dress, $94: The preppy cowl neckline on this punchy violet sheath helps to create a stylish finish. Meanwhile, the jacquard fabric and nipped-in waistline wrap up the style.

Cinq à Sept Makenna Sleeveless Sheath Dress, $237: With its rich magenta colour, this form-fitting dress makes a bold statement. The jewel neckline and above-the-knee hemline manage to complete the design.
