Black and white is giving pastels a run for the title of this season's coolest color combos.
We spotted stars like Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie and Amanda Seyfried front row at Paris Fashion Week wearing the sophisticated combination, while designers like Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein sent graphic black and white pieces down the runway. But we may have discovered the chicest beauty interpretation of the trend on British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware.
The "Wildest Moments" artist made a monochromatic appearance at Paper Magazine's 16th Annual Beautiful People Party on Tuesday night. Dressed in a black and white ankle-length dress and pointy-toe heels, Ware completed her outfit with matching nail art.
She used black and white nail polishes to create a dramatic V-shaped design that celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi proclaimed the "modern half-moon manicure." We love how the subtle purple stripe adds a pop of color and helps to elongate the nail shape. (And how amazing is that dagger-like ring?)
