That forever-classy combo, black and white, had a big showing on this year's Golden Globes red carpet. Some women did it romantic, with florals and gowns with cascading trains, while others did the duo in a more modern shape. Still, however it's worn, no one can deny it makes for a very smart look. Herewith, the women who took on the trend this year.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior
Jennifer's allegiance with Dior didn't waver. She picked a strapless white style banded by black at the waist and hips.
Julia Roberts in Dolce & Gabbana
A unique styling trick — a dress shirt worn under a strapless gown — took Julia's Dolce & Gabbana into black and white territory.
Allison Williams in Alexander McQueen
Those weren't any simple stripes on Allison's McQueen gown. Rather, floaty feathers made everything feel a bit more whimsical.
Emilia Clarke in Proenza Schouler
The guipure lace on Emilia's custom Proenza Schouler dress created a layered black and white effect that was gorgeous.
Hayden Panettiere in Tom Ford
Sharp, colorblock angles gave Hayden's Tom Ford halter dress a supersexy feel (and the leg slit didn't hurt, either!).
Heidi Klum in Marchesa
One of those women doing black and white in its most romantic form was Heidi Klum, who picked a floral Marchesa dress with a sheer train.
Jenna Dewan
A mermaid-style dress with elaborate black beading kept Jenna as one of the most glamorous in the color pair.
Laura Carmichael in Viktor & Rolf
A pleated black chiffon insert was the one stark add-on that kept this custom Viktor & Rolf gown from being all snowy white.
Zosia Mamet in Reem Acra
Black vines and buds framed the front of Zosia's Reem Acra gown for a polished effect.
