This photo of Lucy Liu, for example, is from the 2002 Los Angeles premiere of "Chicago" — that's two decades ago! — but could've just as easily been taken at New York Fashion Week. Her cream colored, bias-cut dress features a sexy halter-neck, and it reminds me of the Peter Do gown Anya Taylor-Joywore to host "SNL."

Celebs might not be wrapping themselves in pashminas on the red carpet anymore, but an embellished shawl has been a stylish runway accessory, most recently for the likes of Brandon Maxwell.

The humble slip dress will always be a style staple, so why not pick up one of these Liu-inspired pieces?
