When we think elegant evening attire, our train of thought goes somewhat like this: ball gown, sparkly jewels, and long, glamorous gloves. Because if there's one thing the greats like birthday girl Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and heck — even Blair Waldorf — taught us, it's that a little hand-and-arm coverage can go a long way. Take a simple LBD, for example. It'll probably look great on its own, but add a pair of black gloves and bam! Breakfast at Tiffany's, here you come.

And since Amal Alamuddin was the latest to bring this classic look back at this year's Golden Globes [1] (something that was met with mixed reviews), we thought it might be fun to see how some of our favorite ladies — both past and present — pulled off this trend. Get ready: you're about to feel some serious glove love.

Amal Alamuddin

Of course we had to include the latest lady to show some glove love. Amal opted for a bit of contrast, adding white rather than black to her chic Dior ensemble [2].

Audrey Hepburn

Perhaps the most iconic long gloves in history. You can't be Holly Golightly without these babies.

Marilyn Monroe

Diamonds would still be a girl's best friend, but they might appear a little lackluster without a silky pair of gloves.

Dita Von Teese

The burlesque star is definitely a fan of this style — and she wears it well.

Kerry Washington

In a promo shoot for Scandal, Kerry channels Olivia Pope by adding elbow-length leather gloves to her plaid cape coat.

Karlie Kloss

If we're going to trust anyone's fashion expertise, it would be top model Karlie Kloss. These leather gloves added a bit of spice to a sweet Oscar de la Renta gown.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Nope, that's not Carrie; it's Sarah Jessica Parker [3], adding a white pair of gloves to her Oscar de la Renta Met Gala ensemble [4]. Is it just us, or does she somehow manage to make them look edgy?

Leighton Meester

Aka Blair Waldorf. The Upper East Sider was spotted adding these elegant black gloves to her gown on an episode of Gossip Girl [5]. Ugh — that's so Blair.

Jayne Mansfield

No shirt + long gloves = a tastefully sexy look.

Dakota Johnson

Forget Grey — Dakota Johnson [6] was 50 shades of glam in this Carolina Amato pair.

Rihanna

They may be as sheer as her Adam Selman dress, but Rihanna [7]'s long gloves are gloves all the same.

Grace Kelly

If it's good enough for a princess, it's good enough for us.

Princess Charlene of Monaco

Exactly.

Angelina Jolie

Gloves attached to a dress? Kind of an interesting look from Versace [8], but if anyone could pull off a number this quirky, it's Angelina.

Beyoncé

Like we would expect anything less from Queen Bey? A flawless pairing with her Givenchy dress.

Taylor Swift

It was a matchy-matchy look for Taylor. She rocked out in this fiery look during — what else? — her Red tour.

Jacqueline Kennedy

Oh, Jackie. This is how you do classy.

Madonna

She's a material girl, so why not add a bit more?
