Wearing an all-over abstract print presents its fair share of challenges, perhaps most of all finding a flattering fit. Fortunately, Jenner Aniston has the issue covered. The actress wore a black dress by Proenza Schouler dotted in a subtle brush stroke motif while attending today’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for actor and The Switch costar Jason Bateman.

Aniston is a known minimalist, often favoring neutral color palettes and wardrobe staples when off-duty. The print was a marked departure form her monochrome tendencies, though the visual element transformed what would have otherwise been just another little black dress. An accompanying belt at the waist lent the shift a sense of shape, while the asymmetric hem added movement. Her shoes were also a stylistic step forward: She recently stepped out in nude suede sandals while visiting New York, but the Aquazzura pink metallic pair seen here was more playful while still reading like a neutral, to similar leg-lengthening effect. She kept things classic with the rest of her accessories, like a quilted shoulder bag with a chain-link strap that coordinated with her usual touches of barely-there gold jewelry in the same finish.
