One of the things I'm looking to get my hands on this holiday party season is a LGBD (you know, little gold/black dress?!).

Ranging from barely-there flecks to power-coating, there's no denying gold/black is the new black/black, and the more burnished the better.

Perhaps it all started with Charlize Theron's increasingly duplicated Lanvin dress and then the gold rubbed down the red carpet from there. I just hope the rich-girl-meets-bad-boy trend, which has been adopted by designer labels like Donna Karan, Camilla and Marc and French Connection (black metallics were also the recent focus of the MAC Black campaign), is here to stay.
