"After nearly stealing Prince George&amp;#x27;s christening thunder in a dreamy, ruffled Alexander McQueen jacket-skirt set earlier, Kate Middleton continued to reinvent classic looks in a long black Jenny Packham gown last night. Doesn&amp;#x27;t she have people to hold the train of her dress? Just kidding. While the Duchess looks radiant at the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Gala Dinner in Aid of Action on Addiction, she taught us a style lesson too&amp;amp;#8212;how a floor-length black gown can be so much more. Kate&amp;#x27;s is actually a dark inky blue with a layer of sheer silk tulle and velvet trim. Plus, the short-sleeve dress was actually shown as off-the-shoulder on the runway, but she inched her neckline up a bit (she is a future princess, after all). Here&amp;#x27;s another look: Turns out last night was a big one for the classic black dress and, like the Duchess, these two style stars didn&amp;#x27;t wear theirs the tame old way, either. Let&amp;#x27;s start on Kate&amp;#x27;s side of the pond for the next look by Lady Mary herself, Michelle Dockery. The Downton Abbey star looks breathtaking in this spaghetti-strap tea-length dress. She brought the corset into the 21st century but wore it as an element of the piece&amp;#x27;s design, with a touch of sultry lace trim at the top. Very classy with a touch of sexy, but just enough. I do feel like a pair of daintier strappy sandals would have complemented the delicate nature of the dress, but she looks exquisite, nonetheless. And sweater-loving It Girl, Harley Viera-Newton hit the star-studded Giorgio Armani One Night Only New York party in a kicky little LBD, but with tiers of ruffles. She made the look chic and modern but opting for a leaner silhouette and short-short hemline, plus flecks of gold woven through the edges of the fabric. (Her kitty purse adds a downtown-cool touch to the outfit too. Cute!) Shop out some unexpected black party-dress looks inspired by Kate, Michelle, and Harley here: Which dress was your favorite?
