Happy Black Friday! If you're taking a break from hitting the sales or waiting for Cyber Monday to do your bargain-hunting, join us in celebrating shopping's big holiday with a look at fashion's other favorite way to go black -- the LBD.

The little black dress, or "LBD," has been the staple of any stylish (and savvy) woman's wardrobe since Coco Chanel made it the modern woman's uniform back in 1926.

Though it's been reimagined in just about every silhouette and design since, it's reputation as a closet staple, versatile enough to take you anywhere you need to go, has never been called into question.

Even fashion's hottest stars, who have stylists and designers willing to dress them, still rely on the LBD for a fail-proof red carpet look.

From Emma Stone and Victoria Beckham's flirty frocks and Anne Hathaway's cutout sheath to Kate Hudson'smidi dress, take a cue from these stylish stars, and consider adding a fun black dress to your holiday-dressing arsenal while you're hitting up the sales today.

Check out how our favorite fashionistas are relying on the LBD to get them through the season in style by clicking through our gallery.
