Do it like Drew in a Marni embellished mini dress
She's been pretty low key during the past few months, but Drew Barrymore is back in the spotlight while promoting her new series on Netflix, Santa Clarita Diet.
The former child actress attended the premiere in LA decked out in a mini dress by Marni and Gucci platform heels.
Drew's frock had a girly yet goth inspired vibe with an asymmetric neckline that was adorned with a crystal bow. We adore the simple silhouette and neutral black colorway and we would spice it up with a slick of red lipstick and a metallic clutch bag.

The Never Been Kissed star divorced Kopelman, her third husband, in August last year.
The two remain friends and share custody of their daughters , Olive, four, and Frankie, two.
She explained that the role in the comedy horror series in which she stars with Timothy Olyphant had become somewhat of a life-saver amidst her personal drama.
'It came sort of the middle of a moment in my life where I had sort of let myself go due to personal circumstances, and I thought I could come alive with Sheila,' she told Today anchor Natalie Morales on Friday.
As for her stunning wight loss, Drew joked: 'If you're eating....human flesh, I basically thought, 'Well, if a woman was just eating simple protein every day all day long she would lose weight'. It's like a very macabre Atkins [diet].'
