Oh I know that it is hardly news to you guys. You all already know that skinny black trouser pants are de rigueur for a smart evening function. Just like these three ladies of the past few days. I particularly liked Olivia Palermo's choice of course, as one does. She wrapped up warmly against the new New York chill in Elin Kling for Marciano, paired with a skinny black slightly cropped trouser.

My mate Alexa Chung wore her black pants contrasted with red, and a frilly red blouse to her function as the host of the Maje collection. Don't you love the extra trouble she took with her hair?

And of course lovely Olivia Wilde did skinny black pants her own way with worker boots and leather from high street retailer All Saints. Three styles of skinny black trousers, on three women, in three different ways. Pick your favourite.
