#theLIST: Le Smoking Revolution
1) The Original
Bianca Jagger didn't earn a rep as a style icon for looking bad in a bowler hat and white tux. The word this look elicits is "swagger."
2) Le Pose
Olivia Wilde in Gucci, Angela Lindvall in Alberta Ferretti and Jessica Hart would outdo any gown in a red-carpet standoff.
3) The Staple
The cost-per-wear on this noir look will be nearly negligible.
Band of Outsiders jacket, $1135, net-a-porter.com and pants, $495, farfetch.com.
4) The Evolution
The le smoking has gone next level—inspiring designers to take the dapper look to vests, dresses and more—as seen on Tina Leung.
5) Le Dress
Former BAZAAR editor in chief, Diana Vreeland, was famous for asking, "Why don't you..."—which we'd complete here with, "invest in a flawless tuxedo-inspired dress?"
McQ Alexander McQueen dress, $795, alexandermcqueen.com.
6) Then and Now
The famous suit has taken many forms at the house of Yves Saint Laurent—on oversized 1980s versions as seen on Catherine Deneuve—and more recently on slim, sexed up versions by Hedi Slimane.
7) Le Blanc
Cara Delevingne is flawless in blanc Burberry. Shop the white suit.
