There is No New Black

As fall is rapidly threatening to transform into winter any day now, the flimsy bright fabrics that were a summer staple flap in the wind as the temperatures drop. Longer sleeves and sturdier fabrics like wool are warranted. The lucky fashionistas closer to the equator probably don't ever have to worry about significant drops, but closets feel it universally.
When the weather switches, collections often take a turn to darker tones for fabrics. Black is frowned upon in the summer because of it's propensity to attract sunlight and thus, heat, but in the colder months, well - that's optimal! But how do you stand out in a sea of black pantsuits and dresses? It's all in the details. Whether you want an architectural twist with sharp angles and nips in unexpected places (see Kourtney above, or Eva below), or you're more of a shine girl with belts and sequins (Khloe, Kim, Olivia), the standout feature is the detail on the outfit. The contrast of one detail to the other is what draws the eye to the outfit (and the pretty face rockin' it!). If your outfit lacks details, but is warm and/or slimming (as black garments often are), make up for it with some killer accessories.
Both divas adhered to the rule of showing skin on one half of the body and covering up the opposite, but with a twist. The dresses have peekaboo backs, with sheer insets. The best about baring so much leg is the elongated effect you have when pairing the short length with sky high heels. You could even take a page from Eva's book and add some serious gold shimmer or a bronzer to the front of your legs for even more attention and definition.
With that said, I'd like to know who rocked the black mini dress better. Was it Eva with the satin shine and updo or Kim with the sequin number and casual long locks (even longer than usual, too!)?
Who wins in your book; Eva or Kim?
