Would You Wear: A Leather Dress?

The gorgeous Angelina Jolie, who has been rocking leather since she was born, recently drew a lot of attention when she showed up at the Inglorious Bastards premiere back in August wearing this Michael Kors strapless black leather dress.

Sure, Angelina can make it look good. And yes, leather is the look du jour. But would you wear a full-on leather (or leatherette) dress? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes, if the right dress crossed my path at the right price. And you?

I think the leather dress is perfect for 1 out of a million scenarios... but worn correctly it's fashionably salacious!

I would definitely wear one if I can find the perfect fit. I searched Hi-low for this one, I was so close with the H&M one but it totally disappoint me.

I think I'll leave the leather dresses to Angelina Jolie! She sure knows how to work it :-)

I totally would wear pleather (being a vegetarian - I try to avoid real leather). I'm all about the rocker look, BUT .. where would I wear a pleather dress to? Obviously not to school, work .. maybe to a club, but it'll get sweaty quick! Formal parties are out, unless I can accessorize the dress up to make it look less dominatrix-ish.

I love the dress! But the only appropriate scenario I can conjure for wearing one is attending the Inglorious Bastards premiere with my husband Brad Pitt.

I totally would. I've been amassing leather clothing at an alarming rate, and would swoon if a leather dress came into my path!

Totally love the leather dress and if it's as soft as butter (like my pants from St. John's) I'd wear it year round (even here in Texas where folks look sideways when you wear fur and/or leather).

Love love love it!

I wouldn't wear a dress but I would definitely wear a leather mini skirt which I have been looking for for ages.
