Leather dresses were all over the runways for fall and celebrities are already showing them on the red carpet, as below by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jen Aniston. The old LBD, “little black dress”, has had a complete transformation and is now the “leather babe dress” for the modern age.

The reason that I’m not calling it a “leather black dress” is because of the amazing red hues that are also being shown. The ultra luxurious red leather dress options are amazingly tailored with plenty of draping. (left to right) Gucci leather dress, saks.com, $4,700 and Nina Ricci leather dress, barneys.com, $700.

If not color, what we are seeing in common with leather dresses for fall is that they are cut in conservative silhouettes, either with high necklines, feminine pleats or in business-style shifts. There seems to be a move away from biker inspired studded leather of the past to a softer more ladylike version for the modern woman/babe. ; )
