Martha Stewart Majorly Channeled Audrey Hepburn in an Ageless LBD
Martha Stewart is the moment. Well, she’s every moment really, whether she’s wearing a plunging one-piece swimsuit or versatile fall booties. She’s timeless, providing style inspiration for a variety of generations — and she just did it again with a special silver-screen twist.
Last Friday, Martha Stewart hosted a breakfast at Tiffany & Co. to celebrate the NYC Wine and Food Festival, benefiting the give-back organization, God’s Love We Deliver. The business woman wore a perfectly on-theme little black dress, channeling Audrey Hepburn’s on-screen role of Holly Golightly. I wouldn’t expect anything less of Stewart; the gown featured a square neck, bell sleeves, and a length that hit right above her knees.

LBDs like Stewart’s will always be in fashion rotation, thanks to their versatile designs. Wear a black dress, like this Connected Apparel bell-sleeve dress, to a formal wedding or to a bottomless brunch. It’s all about how you accessorize the style. Make like Stewart and go full Breakfast at Tiffany’s with oversized sunglasses, chunky pearl jewelry, and peep-toe wedges. Make the look more casual by throwing on a jean jacket and a pair of flats.
Not only do little black dresses work for a variety of occasions, but they’re also multi-seasonal. Add a pair of transparent tights during fall and winter, and opt for sandals once spring and summer roll around. Whether you secure a sweater-dress style like this Eliza J option, or a Maggy London wrap midi dress, you’re sure to wear it all year long. It will never go out of style, becoming one of your go-to closet staples.
