In need of some girls night out outfit inspo? Look no further than Ellie Goulding.
The It-Brit stepped out on Sunday in West Hollywood with Dancing With The Stars‘ Brooks Nader, and the two oozed cool-girl-glamour in completely different aesthetics.
37-year-old Ellie stunned in the most failproof outfit of all time: the classic little black dress.
She wore a spaghetti-strapped number by Acne Studios crafted from fluid silk with an asymmetrical hemline and strap detailing across the neck.

The LBD is a simply cut evening or cocktail dress, often short, that can be dressed both up and down, depending on what your diary has in store.”
She accessorised with the coolest black mesh slingback heels featuring a buckle and sheer toe design.
Ellie isn’t one to shy away from an experimental look. From recreating Julia Fox’s iconic Poison Ivy dress, to unveiling dramatic new pixie bangs, the Love Me Like You Do singer has a plethora of style tricks up her sleeve. But her latest ensemble put the proof in the pudding that wearing all black is anything but boring.

According to fashion historians, it was Coco Chanel who first invented the little black dress. One of the designer’s sketches was featured in Vogue‘s 1926 issue, and it was expected to “become sort of a uniform for all women of taste.”
Ellie stepped out at Hollywood’s celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont for a girls night with American model Brooks Nader. She also oozed It-girl vibes in a sheer purple maxi dress featuring an ultra-elegant cowl neck.
An effortlessly elegant look for all occasions.
