This Is the Beyoncé Way to Dress for a Black-Tie Event
You don't have to be one of Beyoncé's actual protégés to dress like her, but it never hurts to be in her inner circle. Chloe and Halle Bailey attended the City of Hope Gala in Los Angeles, where they were definitely on the same sartorial page as Queen Bey. The trio all dressed in different versions of embellished black outfits, with Beyoncé stealing the show in an Elie Saab F/W 16 Haute Couture velvet jacket embellished with crystals and feathers and paired with the matching velvet skirt.
Meanwhile, the sisters looked impossibly chic in coordinating plunging gowns featuring cutouts, embellishments, sheer details, and more. While the LBD is a mainstay in everyone's closet, it never hurts to update your closet with some more adventurous versions for a more festive look. (Sidenote: Who's ready for holiday season?) Scroll down to see their new outfits and shop the look for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
