Not-So-Basic Black Dresses: Ziyi, Scarlett, Annette

Ziyi Zhang's Black Dress

Ziyi Zhang's pretty black Monique Lhuillier dress.

AMPAS

A standby red carpet color, the black dress is always in style, elegant and flattering.

Scarlett Johanssen's nipped-waist black dress from British designer Roland Mouret was a refreshing twist on a classic.

Ziyi Zhang's frothy black Monique Lhuillier had lace and a ruffles, always a pretty celebrity look.

And Kirsten Dunst looked amazing with her sharp blond bob and lacy sleeveless dress.

Annette Bening proved that even mature women can look sexy in a dramatic Armani gown with fishtail and off-the-shoulder styling (now if she'll just do something about that hair...)
