Angelina Jolie: The Little Black Dress Myth and Truth

With age comes some wisdom. Not always is that wisdom a great thing, and often times it is just the opposite.

Angelina Jolie has strutted her stuff in a little black dress so often, which she fills so well. Not only is her face a glowing, showing of the beauty of that woman, but her insides are so beautiful from many people’s perspective too. Often, I have thought with wealth, one can do much to improve an appearance and I feel that way now too. Take for instance if a designer outfit was specifically made to fit your exact figure, wouldn’t you look splendid? You bet you would! If the hair style were selected according to your facial features and shape of your head, would it not accentuate the natural contours creating the ultimate look? Of course it would!
Angelina is able to afford special everything with the money that is available to her. Her little black dress probably was made from a certain fabric, sewn together and finished to perfection for her. I am not, tongue in cheek, mentioning the wearing or the creation of the little black dress to covet or resent her or the dress. I once owned a little black dress some 50 years ago, which is before she was able to think little black dresses. My point is that Angelina did not make that little black dress popular. Things have a way of coming full circle, which is where the little black dress is coming to rest once again at that point in the circle.

Audrey Hepburn, before my time of awareness of her came about, had a little black dress. Just slightly under 30, 000, 000 is the number associated with little black dress if you looked to search that word. No, Angelina did not create them all, nor did Audrey Hepburn or anyone who ever put on , thought about or saw a little black dress. Sleeves, sleeveless, high back, low back, short hemline, or any other fashion details, will not ever make the little black dress only some ONES clothes statement.
This is information to the young so you will always keep seeking when someone mentions a little black dress.

Well put. Personally, I prefer a little color. Black seems a bit funereal.

That’s a rather exquisitely styled dress at the cost of a brand new car and a slightly used airplane. Fashion is really something. A well written post my friend.

I have not owned a pure black dress ever, in fact a velvet maroon is more my style.

I’ve actually read somewhere, that every woman should have one little black dress as it goes for any occassion.

What is it about that little black dress? It never goes out of style.

Black is my wife’s favorite

Interesting read. Personally, I think that all of the money in the world would never make me look as good as Angelina. She was first gifted with great genes.
Fashion goes round and round – but I’ve heard that if you are old enough to have worn a trend

Sorry, accidentally click on submit. If you are old enough to have worn a trend before, you are too old to wear it this time.
