How Celebs in NYC vs. L.A. Dress for Date Nights

There's no denying that, in general, celebrities get more dressed up for nights out than the rest of us, but with paparazzi regularly in tow, can you blame them? Taking this into account, we were curious about how celebrity style differs based on which city they're in, so we did a little investigating into their date-night outfit choices.

We know that NY and L.A. style is of interest to most fashion girls, and since we've already covered British- and French-girl versus American-girl night-out looks, we decided to look at the difference within our domestic borders. While there were some obvious common themes among outfits from NY and L.A. (i.e. heels are the go-to footwear), the differences were also clear. Intrigued?

Our number one observation of celebrity NYC date nights is that they love to wear black. Leather pants, black outerwear, and LBDs are the norm. They prefer fancy accessories like heels and metallic clutches whether headed to an event or just a dinner date. They also favor sleek, slim silhouettes when in the Big Apple.

While celebrities in L.A. also choose a good pair of heels for date nights, they mix things up a bit more, especially given that weather isn't typically a factor. They wear a little more color (although black is still popular) and frequently opt for more casual looks. But when it's a special occasion, they tend to go big with sequin party dresses and the like.
