We don’t know if you have noticed, but more and more celebrities are embracing the tuxedo dress trend.
This dress has been around for some time and constantly appears on the red carpet. But with all the “it” girls wearing it, we reckon it will become street mainstream pretty soon.
It’s time to take the plunge. Try the tuxedo dress trend and style it the same way these celebrities did:
1. Alexa Chung in Double-Breasted Blazer Dress
The MTV presenter looked modern and chic in this Balmain x H&M dress, which she teamed with a pair of Gianvito Rossi “Femi” lace-up suede pumps.
Combining two trends – the tuxedo dress and the lace-up pumps – creates a cohesive look.

2. Hilary Swank in Velvet Mini Dress
The 41-year-old didn’t look her age in this Balmain stretch cotton and velvet mini dress, which she teamed with a pair of cap-toe cross-strapped pumps. This proves that nude tones can work with black.

3. Kerry Washington in a White Tuxedo Dress
The Scandal actress showed off her lacy bra in this Adam Lippes Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo dress. Go for this look if you’re not afraid to show some skin. Otherwise, wear a camisole dress underneath.

4. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini in White Blazer Dress
The singer and X Factor judge also wore the same Adam Lippes tuxedo dress. But rather than pumps, she opted for bright red sandals.

A pop of color doesn’t hurt. We also like her sleek chignon and minimal accessories.

5. Shay Mitchell in Scarf-Print Mini Dress
The Pretty Little Liars actress flaunted serious cleavage and legs in this Versus Versace Spring 2015 dress.
The dress was cinched at the waist by a thick belt. She capped off the contemporary look with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti triple strap “Corine” sandals in silver and a Graziela Gems wave ear cuff in white.

6. Sophia Bush in a Black Tuxedo Dress
The One Tree Hill alumnus rocked the Smythe “Less Than Zero” tuxedo dress with black pumps.
She added statement accessories to lend more interest to the all-black look and opted for a side-swept hairdo to cap off her elegant look.

7. Natalie Portman in a Wool Coat Dress
The 34-year-old was the epitome of elegance in this Dior wool coat dress. It’s a different tuxedo dress because it has a shape and a more modest length.
We would have preferred a pair of pumps, but those slingbacks still worked nicely.

8. Cara Delevingne in a Tuxedo Jacket Dress
The Paper Towns actress showed off her famous model legs in this Emilio Pucci Fall 2015 velvet tuxedo dress.
The contrast offered by her maroon Burberry Prorsum velvet bow sandals and black Mulberry “Cara Delevingne” quilted nappa bag created an interesting juxtaposition of colors.
