Fashion People Know This Color Combination Has Never (and Will Never) Have a Flop Era

At Who What Wear, we frequently discuss sophisticated color combinations (think camel and red, chocolate brown and burgundy, black and navy, etc.​​). While these pairings may shift with the seasons, one timeless combination remains ever-present: the classic duo of black and white. This pairing is the epitome of elegance, and Felicity Jones is the latest style icon to showcase its power.

At the London premiere of her film The Brutalist, Jones dazzled attendees in an exquisite black-and-white dress from Valentino’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection. The gown features an alluring halter neckline, a large bow on the chest, a white bodice, and a black V-cut skirt, all creating a quintessentially classy fashion piece. To ensure the dress remained the star of the evening, the actress, recently nominated for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ Best Supporting Actress award, opted for simple pointed-toe ankle-strap heels.
