Catherine Zeta-Jones has been on a roll lately. The actress recently gave new life to the tried-and-tested maxi skirt for fall, proving that the summer staple can go the extra mile. Then earlier today, she switched things up again, putting an avant-garde spin on another wardrobe standard, the little black dress. The daring silhouette of her Cushnie et Ochs frock felt especially noteworthy on someone other than a millennial, and served as a reminder that it's a timeless look ripe for reinvention.
At a photo-call for her new film, Cocaine Godmother, the sleek ruffled shape captured the spotlight. The hem hit just below the knee—at once age-appropriate and modern—while the off-the-shoulder neckline had throwback appeal. As Zeta-Jones once told Vogue: “Anything that has an off-the-shoulder, I gravitate to.” The dress, too, had a scarf-like detail that recalled the look of a choker. All she needed to pull it together was a pair of studded pointed-toe pumps and simple hoop earrings.
