With so many trends influencing our current wardrobes, sometimes we forget the power of a perfect black dress.

On Sunday, Elizabeth Debiciki, who starred as Princess Diana in "The Crown," stunned on the Emmys red carpet in an elegant black gown reminiscent of Diana herself.

The simplicity of the gown -- with a square neckline, a fitted bodice and a floor-length skirt -- proved that less can be more. Debiciki wore diamond earrings, black winged eyeliner and her hair swept into an updo. Together, it made for an undoubtedly royal look.

We draw inspiration from red carpet appearances, like this, for special-occasion dressing. That's why we're rounding up all of the best little black dresses for fall that you can wear as a wedding guest, to dinners and around the holidays.

While some of our picks are more formal, we also have options you can dress down for more everyday wear: style with boots and a coat or belted with ballet flats.
