Trends like Barbiecore come and go, but the sartorial prowess of a black dress lives forever.

While the world is currently taken over by hot pink everything, the color black remains immune to changing styles, and Karen Wazen is clearly a fan. This week, the Lebanese entrepreneur wore not one, but two ensembles in the timeless hue, each being different yet equally classic as the other. To attend what appeared to be a special occasion away from home with her husband Elias Bakhazi, the mother-of-three wore a form-fitting strapless number by Solace London. The evening dress came with a fabric choker detail, giving it an almost old Hollywood allure. Wazen complemented it with a sleek bun, loose bangs framing her face, and cluster-shaped diamond earrings for a hint of glam.

Pictures from this event followed a previous series of photos on Instagram, where Wazen posed in another black dress against a picturesque sunset. Aptly captioned “Not your Barbie girl,” the post saw Wazen championing the forever-favorite LBD, with this one being more blinged-out than her second black pick of the week. The strappy dress came from the New York-based brand Area and featured a crystal bow on the sweetheart-shaped neckline, along with spiked crystal studs on the hem. The founder of By Karen Wazen accessorized the mini with shades from her own eyewear brand, crystal hoop earrings, and bow-adorned black stilettos from her sister Andrea Wazen’s namesake shoe label. A long, slicked-back braid and minimal makeup completed the playful look.
