We might have been all about florals, pastels and bold, eye-catching hues when it comes to the best summer wedding guest dresses, but as we look ahead to autumn, Gillian Anderson has proved that nothing beats black evening wear as the most timeless option regardless of the season.
Stepping out in Soho for an early screening of her new film Teenage Sex and Death At Camp Miasma, the actress looked stunning in a sleek black halterneck maxi dress with a sweeping, asymmetric hemline. Treading the line between a cocktail dress and something formal enough for black-tie dress codes, the elegant, minimally accessorised dress proved that black evening attire never fails to look chic.
