When it comes to basic black, you can do no wrong. But it's all about accessories and construction to elevate a simple look into something fabulous. Olivia Wilde demonstrated the appeal of all-black dressing on Friday, when she presented at the DVF Awards in a sleek powersuit perfect for a ceremony honoring strong women. 

Her suit's subtle texture and vintage gold House of Lavande necklace made the classic look personal and modern. Naturally, her suit, heels and clutch are by Diane von Furstenberg herself, but Olivia personalized the designer's look with an A.L.C. blouse and spunky blue nail polish.
