Kate Winslet has such a classic and elegant sense of style. When it comes to red carpet events, she tends to opt for timeless silhouettes and simple colours over bold patterns or trends that will quickly date.

So it was no surprise that she chose a black gown to attend the premiere of the documentary Finding Harmony: A King's Vision at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, alongside the likes of Dame Judi Dench, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.

ASTR the Label

One-Shoulder Long Sleeve Sweater Dress

One reviewer said she 'felt amazing' in this dress. It's glamorous yet simple, and the wool blend fabric makes it the ideal date night outfit for this time of year.

H&M

Draped One-Shoulder Dress

This little number is also available in burgundy, and features flattering ruching on one side. I'd wear this beauty with swept-up hair to show off the neckline in all its glory, adding a pair of gold earrings to complete the look. You're welcome!

Phase Eight

Otto One Shoulder Fringe Maxi Dress

This fringe dress from British clothing brand Phase Eight is just crying out for you to wear it on the dancefloor. If you've got a winter or even spring wedding coming up, look no further.

Karen Millen

Petite Clean Tailored Taffeta One Shoulder Panel Midi Dress

This has got a real Roland Mouret feel to it, but for a fraction of the price. It's available in regular or petite lengths, and needs minimal accessories to look so chic.

Sezane

Julie Sweater

This Sezane jumper is a nice nod to Kate's look if you're in need of a more casual piece. Team this with blue jeans and your most comfortable trainers when the weather is a bit warmer.

Black Diamante One-Shoulder Maxi Dress

This is as close to a designer dress as you can get for under £100 in my opinion. Julien MacDonald is used to dressing A-listers on the red carpet, so if you've got a black tie dinner date in your diary, this maxi dress is spot on.

I personally love a bardot or one-shoulder neckline (my wedding dress was off the shoulder!) as it's such a subtle way to show off a bit of skin, and you can still wear your best bra underneath - albeit with a bit of an adjustment.

I seem to remember reading in Claudia Winkleman's hilarious book Quite that shoulders are the one thing that never really age, so this is a trend everyone can embrace with confidence.
