NICOLE RICHIE almost always never disappoints when it comes to her red carpet outfits—but does her black Antonio Berardi gown fit the bill? What do you think? Fab or drab?

Nicole graced the 2011 ACE Awards in a sleek black Antonio Berardi gown, which featured a plunging neckline and a modest thigh-high slit.

As always, Nicole incorporated at least one piece from her House of Harlow collection into her red carpet look—and this time she chose a black studded clutch. She completed the outfit with black and gold drop earrings and a pair of black pumps.

Nicole finished it all off with a French twist, shimmery brown eye makeup, and glossy nude lips.

While the look isn’t in-your-face amazing, it’s still very chic, if a bit monochromatic.

Do you like Nicole’s latest red carpet effort?
