While some of us may think a little black dress can nowadays be boring, Anne is just one of the celebrities who has continually shown a black dress is a wardrobe staple.

With Chanel describing black as a colour that represents simple elegance, we think a black dress will always have an enduring appeal to women, especially with many celebrities wearing it on the red carpet again.

Looking a picture of elegance, Anne was also pictured on the red carpet with co-star Bradley Cooper.

The pair posed on the red carpet together while smiling and laughing with one another.

The co-stars previously worked together in the popular rom-com Valentines Day, which was released in 2010.

Presented by Anne herself, Bradley was awarded the NBR Icon Award at the awards ceremony.

Anne was also captured with a few other famous faces including Jessica Chastain, Andrew Scott and Laura Linney during the evening.
