Olivia drove us Wilde in a dramatic Dolce & Gabanna gown at the world premiere of new Sci Fi Thriller, 'Cowboys and Aliens'

Made famous by her role in hit American television series, The OC but now gracing our screens as Ella Swenson, Olivia Wilde replaced The Orange County, girl-next-door look with something a little darker for the premiere of her most recent film at San Diego's Civil Theatre. Olivia's floor-trailing gown was a refreshing change from the barely-there bandeaus that we have been seeing all season and an inspiring insight into what Autumn/Winter 2011 is going to look like. Gothic-glam is advancing on the fashion world at a speedy pace, bewitching designers such as Lanvin, John Rocha and Chanel. What better way to embrace our diminishing tans and pasty complexions than to pass them off as Vampire chic! The paparazzi lapped up her lavish red carpet look last week leaving no doubt in our minds that Gothic fashion certainly can be glamorous. This beguiling D&G gown features a high neckline, ruched shoulders and three-quarter sleeves that draw inspiration from the traditional styles of the Victorian era where Gothic fashion laid its collectionss. The simplicity of the strapless underlay flatters a slender physique, while the floral embroidery brings the antique fashion bang up to date. Olivia also chose to accessorise her stunning ensemble with some eye-catching Carrera y Carrera diamonds that drag her romantic LBD up from the earth and onto the red carpet. If you want some inspiration for how to look more enchanting than downright eerie with this seasons spooky styles then cast your eye over some of the lace-laden LBDs that we are lusting over.
