Pippa brings stars and fresh style to the little black dress in this divine open-back piece

Pippa O'Connor knows how to rock an LBD

Pippa is showing us how to revamp our wardrobe in one stylish swoop. Yes, it's autumn, it's time to put away all the summer dresses and introduce some darker tones back to our 15 daily layers of clothing.

To celebrate the launch of her new book, 'Simple Tips To Live Beautifully', the new author held a party in the Merrion Hotel last night.

And her dress was possibly the star of the show.

This is a Gareth Pugh piece, an embroidered open-back crepe dress with beautiful star print around the neckline.

The knee-length hemline makes it appropriate for most events but it's still got enough of an edge to bring a shot of style to the concept of the LBD.

But it's the back detail that is the stand out feature of this piece.

It's available from Net-A-Porter and comes with the hefty price tag of €735. But if you are a fan of fashion ad astra, fear not, stars are set to be the print of AW16.

Are you a fan of this style? And have you picked up a copy of her book yet?
