The Little Black Dress (or LBD for short) is a simple, (usually) short black dress, with little to no trimming or decoration. Expect very few frills, ruffles, or sequins. It's also most often sleeveless, strapless, has spaghetti straps, cap sleeves, or a halter-style top. The effect is to make an impression of a grand, yet simple style, that could fit the fashion in any decade since the early 20th century. This dress was created during The Roaring '20s when fashion was in a big upheaval compared with the decades before. Coco Chanel came up with a dress that would work in an evening or formal occasion, and blend in through any decade since. An anecdote on where Chanel found inspiration on the dress is that while she was looking at her maid, she observed upon the simplicity of the uniform and tweaked it by removing the apron and the lace trimmings, leaving only the black part of the dress. In reality, Mme. Chanel, and fellow couturier Jean Patounote Credited for shortening the hemlines at knee length, after seeing women wearing black mourning dresses during and after World War One, transformed them into livelier and classier outfits that could be worn for multiple occasions. This versatility and ability to work with any shot made the dress immensely popular with Hollywood costume designers, which spread the dress's popularity around the world. Despite how it seems, this isn't really the opposite of a Pimped-Out Dress (and may rarely even overlap with each Happy Holidays Dress). It's just the pimping out is rare, to a lesser degree, and still done in a way that makes the dress last. But not every style of this dress is guaranteed to last. Many such dresses (stereotypically from The Eighties) are more likely to be an Outdated Outfit. Also, while it's true that the first thing that comes in mind for the dress is the one worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (as the page image above), do NOT mention it as a Chanel creation made in 1926, like most fashion articles do. Though the concept of the Little Black Dress is Chanel's, the specific one Hepburn wore was created by Hubert de Givenchy in 1961. Compare Lady in Red, Ethereal White Dress, Princesses Prefer Pink, Graceful Ladies Like Purple, True Blue Femininity, Fairytale Wedding Dress, Simple, yet Opulent, High-Class Gloves, Fashions Never Change. Contrast Fashion Dissonance, I Was Quite a Fashion Victim. |

CSI: NY: One episode had a trio of female crooks who robbed a jewelry store while dressed as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Stella wore LBDs on several dates, including the one she changed into before leaving work in the season 1 finale, "What You See Is What You See." This was one time Mac definitely *didn't* Ignore the Fanservice. Christine had several LBDs, too. The one she wore on their date in the season 9 Valentine's Day episode prompts Mac to gush, "You're breathtaking." |

Ménage à 3 is a Sex Comedy with a fair amount of Fanservice, so most of the female cast are good-looking. They sometimes wear LBDs on moderately special occasions, with some effect. These tend to be the overtly sexy, bust-flaunting type. DiDi wears a little black dress for her date with Sandra, and later for a date with Matt. Wannabe Femme Fatale Sonya carefully chooses her dress for a contest of sex appeal with the more girlish Yuki. The effect is pretty much weapons-grade. Porn star Chanelle wears one for a night out on the town. |

While it's true that Chanel launched the LBD in 1926 in Paris, the film It (1927), starring Clara Bow in her modified work clothes, that kickstarted the dress trend in Hollywood. | |

In Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Queen Wrathmelior Lucitor, Tom Lucitor's mother, wears a black dress while attending the Silver Bell Ball. It's much simpler and saucier than the Elizabethean-style dresses worn by the Butterfly Queens and the Queens of other queendoms in attendance. | |

Green/Leaf from Pokémon Red and Blue. She never got to wear it outside of official art though due to her not appearing until Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green due to space shortages. When Green came back in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, she finally gets to wear it after a two-decade-long wait, albeit now with a Modesty Shorts added beneath that dangerously short dress in her original design. | |

In the first episode of The Lone Gunmen, the heroes run into a bearded fellow in a suit while he's committing a crime. Moments later, before leaving the scene of the crime, the guy strips off "his" suit, beard, and wig, to reveal the show's new female antagonist in an LBD - which fit well under her disguise and didn't stand out in public. | |

Nicci of the Sword of Truth wears one of these all the time. It's symbolic of her unfeelingness and becomes associated with her being "Death's Mistress".

Breakfast at Tiffany's has probably the most iconic example with Holly Golightly's dress, designed, like all of Audrey Hepburn's costumes for the film, by Hubert de Givenchy. Notably, although she changes her accessories constantly, she never appears in any dress but the black dress, implying she's trying desperately to look richer than she actually is. | |

In Sticky Dilly Buns, Ruby, who is something of an ingenue, is attempting to hint to her seemingly obtuse boyfriend Andy that she'd be interested in sex with him. The last stage in this process before she despairs involves an LBD that really ought to have done the job. This was, it turns out, borrowed from her ex-porn star sister Amber's wardrobe, and Ruby comments to Amber that it sent out a signal that could have blinded someone. (Ruby, having a respectable figure and killer legs, does indeed make a short-skirted LBD look very good.) | |

Friends: One of Rachel's attempts to seduce Joshua involves inviting him to a fake party and putting on a slinky black number she calls her "lucky dress". Unfortunately for her the dress can't make up for her clumsy attempts at flirting with him. In season eight Rachel shows up at Monica's Halloween party in a black, strapless dress despite specific instructions that everyone was supposed to come in costume. When Monica challenges her on it Rachel claims she's dressed as "woman who spent a lot on a dress and wants to wear it before she's too pregnant to fit into it". Monica lets it go on the proviso she get to borrow the dress once Rachel is too big for it. |
