An easy way to style a slip dress is by piling on the layers, adding a jacket to offset the exposure of skin. However, if you are just starting to sample this trend, you may want to let the dress shine.
Take it from Olivia Munn, who stepped up her fashion game in a black maxi dress sans the gratuitous layers.
Olivia Munn styled her black maxi dress with Stuart Weitzman Nudist sandals
Rumored to have undergone plastic surgery, the 33-year-old previously freckled actress went for a dark-hued ensemble — something that belied the spring custom of wearing light and pastel colors to look fresh.
Not related to Allison Munn, she did look as fresh as a spring breeze in this slinky slip dress despite its somber hue, though.
The maxi frock is very simple, but it gave the actress a glamorous appearance.

Olivia’s pared-down styling helped to turn this look into a success. The black sandals and the shoulder bag are perfect with the dress.
The minimal accessories also worked for the outfit’s neat but stylish vibe. The effect is an unstudied glamour that is definitely worth copying.
