here is no denying that black holds a certain power and allure unmatched by any other color. It is a universal hue that’s on almost everyone’s good side. Black is like nutrients; no matter how much you binge on various comfort foods, there is nothing like a healthy meal. On the color wheel, the hue is an absolute essential as it flatters all skin tones and body types, making it a go-to choice for people looking to create a chic and sophisticated look—and celebs have long known this!
Celebrities have proven time and again that all-black outfits will never go out of style. For instance, this year alone the Oscars, Met Gala, and every other major red carpet saw the stars make an unmissable case for all-black outfits. From Janelle Monáe raising the heat in a cut-out black number at the Grammy’s afterparty to Angela Bassett looking stately at the 2023 Critics Choice awards, it’s clear that the stars have an affinity for the tone. But, black isn’t just for the carpet. The color serves it hot on the streets as well. Back in March, Ciara attended a Roger Vivier presentation in Paris in black bliss. The look featured an oversized sweater dress and black leather boots. No doubt, this proves that the color isn’t only timeless but also versatile and bold.
Check out all-black outfits as seen on celebs that hit different…
#1. Rihanna in Maison Margiela
At the 2023 Oscars, Rihanna gave an unforgettable performance shimmering in Maison Margiela. The ensemble features a black strapless bra-like top studded with crystals from which suspends a slew of cut-out sheer fabric embellished with crystals. She rocked the top with loose-fitting floral embroidered pants, black elbow-length leather gloves, and of course, enough jewelry to rival the night’s sky in sparkle.
#2. Angela Bassett in Christian Siriano
Angela Bassett sported a Christian Siriano ensemble for the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. The strapless corset gown with a slight train boasts peplum details strategically placed at the waist, knee, and a bit after the knee. These “levels” added a majestic flair to the fit and her layered gold choker continued the vibe.
#3. Zoe Saldana in Schiaparelli
At the movie premiere of Avatar, Zoe Saldana stunned in Schiaparelli Couture. Her get-up featured a black strapless corset mini dress with a large rosebud detail at the hip and hemline, a black sandal, and a Bulgari choker.
#4. Ciara in Celine
The 2023 Paris Fashion Week had Ciara slaying in Celine. She opted for an oversized black woolen sweatshirt with cutouts. The top hung loosely on the singer as she styled it to be a one-sided off-the-shoulder attire. To up the fashion ante, the mother-of-three paired it with knee-length black leather boots. An all-black outfit that’s easy and free-spirited will always be the truth.
#5. Chloe Bailey
The Oscars got Chloe Bailey pushing on with her sultry body-hugging era. Her ensemble featured a black shimmery embellished gown with a one-handed long sleeve. With the dress hugging the right places, a feathery design from the knee down to the floor completed the overall look, bringing a suave vibe.
#6. Janelle Monáe in Vera Wang
For the Grammy afterparty, Janelle Monáe wore a black pinafore-design Vera Wang dress. The top part of the dress sees the pinafore united with a peplum, thus emphasizing her frame. On the other hand, the bottom part features a black sheer fabric with a slightly pleated design. The singer paired her all-black outfit with black leather gloves and black platform heels.
#7. Marsai Martin in Christian Siriano
Marsai Martin wore Christian Siriano for the 2023 NAACP Image Awards. Her dress is a black mock-neck floor-length gown with long sleeves. It boasts a cut-out on the chest that flaunts a bit of skin. To add to the glamour of the number, Christian Siriano thought it wise to incorporate balloon details on the shoulder and hip that certainly did justice.
#8. Sabrina Elba in Maison Alaia
At the 2023 Fashion Trust US event, Sabrina Elba wore a black sultry draped dress from Maison Alaia. The number featured a deep V-draped detail in front with an open back. The black party continued with oversized black bangles injected with clear bangles and a chic mini bob in black.
#9. Megan Thee Stallion in Bach Mai
Megan Thee Stallion wore Bach Mai to the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars party. Her black strapless corset dress with fishnet design and mermaid flare was the prominent statement she needed to return to the carpet after months away. The rapper then opted for black nail polish for good measure.
#10. Normani in Christian Siriano
The call was made for the 2022 Met Gala and celebs responded in their gilded best, including Normani who showed up in Christian Siriano.
