As much as I love when celebrities switch it up with nighttime red carpet looks. Black will forever ever be an after-six staple. Celebs like Janet and Amber Rose are proof that the ultimate signature color will never be anything less than sleek.

All of these little black dresses are under $100. Dress them up or down with jewelry, shoes and handbags to create a look that's perfect for you.

Kerry Washington looked gorgeous in a short sleeve dress at the premiere of her new movie Night Catches Us.  Kerry paired her neutral gown with aubergine satin pumps. The added pop of color makes the look a stunner.

Janet Jackson wore a slink Versace tank dress to Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year Awards. Janet loves tailored looks so this pick is no surprise. The tank dress is simple, yet it shows off her incredible body. Ms. Jackson vamped it up with triple platform patent pumps and a fur jacket.
