At the hands of Dakota Johnson, Dua Lipa, and Kaia Gerber (to name a few celebrities), book clubs have evolved from niche social soirées to cool girl conventions. Over the weekend, Gerber, the co-founder of Library Science, united avid New York-based readers to enjoy "the best of French literature in English translation," she shared on Instagram.
The only assignment? Arrive with a book in hand to complement your librarian look. As the evening's host, Gerber set the bookish bar in two of her all-time staples: a little black dress and ballet flats. Her luxe LBD, for one, was haltered with a plunging neckline and an even lower back. Its designer is unknown, however, its knee-length chiffon skirt bares a striking resemblance to this sold-out Aritzia dress, described online as "straight out of a romance novel." How fitting for book club.
