Our favorite celebrities reveal their go-to black wardrobe staple

We all have them. A favorite black sweater, a black cocktail dress that fits like a glove, boots and blazers that make us feel like we can do anything when we put them on. And the stars have them, too! We asked our favorite leading ladies to share their go-to black wardrobe staple with us. See what Charlize Theron, Melissa McCarthy, Olivia Wilde, Katrina Bowden, and more say is their most prized item.

In one of the many memorable scenes from "Young Adult" (see it now if you haven't already) Charlize Theron suits up for a night out in a black leather jacket that I wish were in my closet right now. Off camera the Oscar winner and Dior spokesmodel confesses that she keeps her black skinny jeans and black boots close at hand. "SNL's" Abby Elliott also can't say enough about her favorite pair of black jeans which look great on fat AND skinny days (totally know what she means.) "Mike & Molly" star Melissa McCarthy, who is designing a line of plus-sized separates, considers a pair of black cigarette pants that can be dressed up with heels or down with flats, a fashion essential. Sexy stunners Katrina Bowden and Olivia Wilde insist a sleek and slim black blazer "brings everything together."
