Kate Upton accepts People's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in what else? Black leather!

So if you're Kate Upton and accepting People's "Sexiest Woman Alive" Award, how better to dress for the occasion than rocking a hot black leather outfit and stiletto pumps!

Although I saw a reference to it being a "leather pencil dress," I'm not so sure.  The top, which is amazing, has a real lambskin-sheen to it while the skirt has more of a matte, print look to it.  Of course, we may never know if it's dress or leather top and skirt because she's wearing a wide black leather belt - also very hot!

A quick search reveals that this is not the first time Ms. Upton has rocked a Leather Look, such as what's definitely a leather dress at some kind of GQ event.

And while we're at it, here are a few bonus looks at Ms. Upton rocking some great Leather Looks, including leather skirts, jackets, thigh-high boots, and long leather gloves!

Angelina Jolie rocks a full-length black leather gown at "Maleficent" premiere

Angelina Jolie has shown that she knows how to rock the black leather look for years now.  She continued that trend in a stunning full-length black leather gown by Versace.  Very likely custom-made, I'd be very curious what this weighs and what it cost!

Personally, I'm more a fan of the "little black leather dress" such as this one she wore to the "Inglorious Basterds" premiere...

...but if anyone can pull off the "full leather gown" look, it's Angie!  She wore a similar, but more form-fitting full-length leather dress to the premiere of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."

However, my personal favorite "leather look" is the classic white silk blouse paired with a black leather skirt and pumps, all by Ferragamo. Love the hair, too!  This is a look I would actually try wearing!

Spring leathers at Jessica London

Ya gotta love that the winter clearance sales have just started and Jessica London is already promoting brightly colored leathers for Spring, including this classic-styled leather sheath dress.

I also like the leather skirt as it appears to be the perfect length and features belt-loops and a rare front zipper opening. This would look very nice paired with a crisp white blouse or a coordinating floral print blouse as pictured.

My Favorite Pages - ELLE - November 2012

It's not saying much when the "leather highlight" in ELLE consists of a series of fur ads that have a great vintage 1980s look to them.



A knee-length fur coat paired with a turtleneck, wide black leather belt, and nicely matching leather skirt makes for a very sophisticated, luxury look. All that's missing is the knee-high boots!



Bare shoulders and arms stay warm with this nice pairing of a fur stole and opera-length leather gloves.



Again, a very nice pairing of a fur stole withlong leather gloves. The jewelry (big bracelet and pinky ring) worn over the gloves is also a nice touch.




This black leather shirtdress from Michael Kors is anything but basic. The goldtone buttons on the shoulders as well as the optional goldtone belt accent it very nicely. This piece would look great worn in early fall with strappy sandals or later in the season with some sexy over-the-knee boots.



This Hollywood edition of ELLE featured this one photo of actress Susan Sarandon in a Valentino black leather trench coat. The coat appears to be floor length and I wish we could have seen more from this photo shoot.

CHICO'S: Over-the-knee suede boots and leather look skirt suits

These over-the-knee suede stacked heel boots are a great soft and sexy look for the fall and winter season.


Even though it's not real leather, this leather-look shirt looks great paired with the belted jacket.

Still cleaning off the old laptop, here's a collection of my favorite photos featuring leather from the Nordstrom website.

Kate Hudson looks stunning in this high-waisted black leather skirt paired with a frilly blouse and stiletto heels at the premiere of "Bride Wars."


Standing next to Anne Hathaway, Kate's sexy leather look makes Anne look frumpy!

FAVORITE LOOKS: Doncaster

Here are some of my favorite looks from Doncaster from last season. Doncaster can be pricey, but they integrate some great leather looks into their fashions.


I've been a fan of the white blouse and black leather skirt look for as long as I can remember.


Nice pairing of leather pants with a jacket and sweater.


A belted jacket paired with a leather skirt and gloves is always a great look.
