What's Black and White and All Over the Red Carpet? This Trend

Jennifer's allegiance with Dior didn't waver. She picked a strapless white style banded by black at the waist and hips.

A unique styling trick — a dress shirt worn under a strapless gown — took Julia's Dolce & Gabbana into black and white territory.

Those weren't any simple stripes on Allison's McQueen gown. Rather, floaty feathers made everything feel a bit more whimsical.

The guipure lace on Emilia's custom Proenza Schouler dress created a layered black and white effect that was gorgeous.

Sharp, colorblock angles gave Hayden's Tom Ford halter dress a supersexy feel (and the leg slit didn't hurt, either!).

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.

A mermaid-style dress with elaborate black beading kept Jenna as one of the most glamorous in the color pair.

A pleated black chiffon insert was the one stark add-on that kept this custom Viktor & Rolf gown from being all snowy white.

Black vines and buds framed the front of Zosia's Reem Acra gown for a polished effect.
