What's "Black & White & Chic All Over?" If you guessed Hilary Rhoda in Glamour Magazine's December 2014 issue, then you hit the nail right on the head!

The model is a classic beauty, so it makes sense that fashion editor Jillian Davison would want to dress her in a [classic look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). Really, though, how can you go wrong with [black and white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-noir)? On their own, each color looks phenomenal. Put together, the contrast is stunning and instantly sophisticated. Not that Rhoda needs any help being stunning or sophisticated -- her impeccable brow arch does that all on its own.

The creative team was rounded out by hair stylist Renato Campora, [makeup artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) Fulvia Farolfi and legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
