When the temperatures drop, celebs reach for dark duds. Get inspired with some of our favorite black looks.

Mary J. Blige couldn't resist the elegance of an all-black ensemble when she hit up the Black Girls Rock! Awards last weekend.

A sparkly, black scarf and sequined top keep the look from being too severe.

Rihanna added just a bit of black to this cute outfit that she was spotted in recently.

Working with neutrals like brown, black, grey and tan, her fur stole takes centerstage.

Steal her style with similar pieces.

Ciara did fall proud with her black dress, shrunken blazer, tights and ankle boots when she attended Kim Kardashian's birthday party in Las Vegas, while her friend LaLa Vasquez clearly thought it was still summer.
