One of L’Wren Scott’s most memorable red-carpet moments was at the 2008 Oscars, for which she dressed Nicole Kidman in a black Balenciaga gown and designed a dramatic 1,399-karat rough diamond sautoir to go with it. (Vince Bucci / Getty Images)

When Scott launched her own clothing line in 2006, it was originally called Little Black Dress, reflecting her desire to design the perfect black dress. Well, this design worn by Kidman to the ACM Awards might just be it, with an illusion neckline, point collar and hem that fell just past the knee. Scott was known for her sheath dresses, and this one, like most of the ones she created, hugged every curve. (Jason Merritt / Getty Images)
