It’s safe to say that if Jessica Alba wears it, we’ll stop to look. And that was definitely the case when the actress shared a carousel of New York City night-out looks on Instagram last weekend. Naturally, she served looks in every snap — and we were particularly wowed by two sleek black midi dresses she wore.
Both captured the essence of what makes LBDs so essential to any wardrobe, offering both versatility and timeless style. The best news? We managed to track down lookalikes for Alba’s slip dress and strapless dress at Quince.

The brand’s pure mulberry silk is one of its hero fabrics, known as much for its sumptuous feel as for its low-maintenance care requirements. Rarely are slip dresses made of silk so simple to maintain, but the fact that you can simply toss Quince’s version in the washing machine is one of the biggest reasons thousands of shoppers love it.
Cut on the bias for a clean, flowing silhouette, the dress mirrors Alba’s simple black style. It’s smooth, with a finish that one shopper described as “extremely soft and breathable.” According to another person, it’s so comfortable that they even wear it to sleep. Others have noted that it’s easy to dress up or down, shifting from casual with a denim jacket and sneakers to dressy with statement jewelry and strappy heels.

Alba’s second dress was strapless, with a sheer skirt — a sizzling choice for any night out in the city. Quince’s own strap-free take feels just as elite, thanks to its satin-finish mulberry silk and classic cut. It’s streamlined and sophisticated from top to bottom, with a touch of spandex in the lining for stretch and comfort (and enough elastic in the neckline to keep a firm grip while you’re on the move, of course).
One reviewer commented that it’s a “go-to for weddings and formal events,” highlighting the “luxurious” fabric and “extremely flattering” cut. Another person added that it “hugs the body in just the right way,” while several people praised the dress’s “expensive” appearance and reasonable price point.

No night-out look is complete without a pretty shoe, and both Quince’s Italian leather Block Heel and platform sandal add just the right finishing touch to any black dress. Both are buttery smooth — and one shopper even noted she walked “around 15k steps” while wearing the platforms throughout the month. As another customer stated of the block heels, “they polish outfits perfectly.”

Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
