The simplicity of black and white together is making a dramatic statement on red carpets everywhere. Whether it is a black and white dress or black and white seperates that are being paired together, the look is undeniably fresh and sophisticated.

Who do you think wore the Jill Stuart outfit better: Lindsay Lohan or Nia Long? I vote for Nia, she seems to fill out the dress better and I prefer black shoes with this outfit. Lindsay also looks great.
You may not have to buy new pieces to achieve this look since most people have black and white in their closet. If you want an excuse for shopping though, there are some great options below. My favourite is the dress by BCBG Max AzrIa. A more affordable choice is the colour block dress from Victoria's secret.
