Jessica Chastain, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Anne Hathaway, and many more famed beauties took a page from the same fashion playbook when they worked black-on-black ensembles for different occasions. Jessica recently strolled the streets of Paris in a sophisticated black pairing, while Sarah Jessica attended an NYC event looking sweet in a little black lace dress. Although all the monochromatic looks you're about to see have color in common, each managed to induce major style envy in totally unique ways. Whether you lean toward streamlined styles or plush pairings, get a closer look at and draw inspiration from 13 head-to-toe black ensembles we're loving right now.

It's a Supermodel Showdown at The Face Premiere

At last night's The Face premiere in NYC, the red carpet might as well have been a catwalk.

At last night's The Face premiere in NYC, the red carpet might as well have been a catwalk. The show
"mentors," including industry heavyweights like Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha, and Crystal Renn (who could have very well been giving a master class in runway form as they posed for cameras and air-kissed down the arrivals), glammed up to promote their new show — and showcase their own eventwear M.O. Naomi went the elegant, albeit sexy, route in a body-hugging Alaïa gown, while Coco Rocha played the more dramatic angle in a sheer Emilio Pucci gown. As for Karolina, the leggy blonde opted for a flirty, brilliant blue, fringed Dimitri dress — which proved a perfect option for showing off her stems. Step inside to see the rest of the glamorous arrivals face off — including an appearance from Victoria's Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo — then vote for the evening's best-dressed supermodel.

Model Mayhem: Whose Look Did You Love Best?

The model-spotting of Fashion Week is just kicking off in New York today, but last night four of our favorites were out and about. Celebrating the premiere of their new show, The Face, Karolina Kurkova, Naomi Campbell, and Coco Rocha stepped out sporting three completely different looks. Karolina opted for frosted blue shadow and brushed out waves; Naomi paired her heavy fringe with a sexy smoky eye; and Coco wore a faux '20s-style bob and tomato red lipstick. Over in Australia, Miranda Kerr walked in the David Jones fashion show, but stopped for a few snaps with heavy apricot blush and a mussy topknot. All four ladies had a range of styles, but whose did you like best?

Watch It Right Here: The First Full Episode of The Face

"One photo has the power to make or break your career," Naomi Campbell says during the first episode of The Face, in which a group of 24 hopeful models is whittled down to 12 competitors.

"One photo has the power to make or break your career," Naomi Campbell says during the first episode of The Face, in which a group of 24 hopeful models is whittled down to 12 competitors. "This is the reality of our modeling business."

It's a declaration that's dramatic, but also true. Campbell's message about the cutthroat nature of the business seems to be the thrust of the episode, which was released online a week ahead of its scheduled television debut.

Campbell and her fellow coaches Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha meet the girls during New York Fashion Week at the Spring 2013 show of fellow reality TV star Zac Posen. The coaches then put the two dozen young women through a series of tests, including a one-shot photo shoot and a runway challenge — eliminating girls who don't pass muster along the way.

But it's not all slash and burn. After the challenges, the coaches sit down with host Nigel Barker to assemble teams they think have a chance at winning the grand prize. A look at who makes the cut in the video below.

Despite Evidence to the Contrary, Coco Rocha Does Not Consider Herself a Supermodel

She may have graced countless covers, editorials, and major campaigns, but Coco Rocha says that doesn't mean she's a supermodel.

She may have graced countless covers, editorials, and major campaigns, but Coco Rocha says that doesn't mean she's a supermodel.

"I cannot ever call myself a supermodel. That was an era in time — when Naomi worked — and those girls owned the industry," Rocha explained in a recent interview with Time. "Nowadays, you do one cover and if it gets a lot of hype, you're considered a supermodel."

But even if she doesn't consider herself in the same league as Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Helena Christensen, and Naomi Campbell — her cojudge in the upcoming modeling-contest TV show The Face — Rocha has definitely succeeded in building her brand the modern way. "For any model who starts today, they have to go with the flow of here and now — for me, it was embracing social media." And boy, has she. The "nonsupermodel" currently has over 462,000 Twitter followers — and counting.

For that reason — and despite her protests — we can't help but feel that Rocha is definitely a supermodel for this day and age. A look at all the gorgeous images that prove it, in the slideshow.

    Photoshop Fail? Coco Rocha Says There's Nothing Wrong With Her Longchamp Ads

    Coco Rocha isn't holding her tongue about a perceived "Photoshop fail" in her current Longchamp campaign with Emily DiDonato.

    Coco Rocha isn't holding her tongue about a perceived "Photoshop fail" in her current Longchamp campaign with Emily DiDonato.

    One of the ads, shot by Max Vadukul, shows DiDonato sitting on the back of a bicycle while Rocha steers. Since viewers can't see DiDonato's legs, and because Photoshop disasters have become so commonplace as of late, The Huffington Post was quick to question whether DiDonato's lower extremities had gotten the chop. Rocha responded:

    "As you can see in the behind-the-scenes pictures above (which were posted everywhere a few months back) she's just balancing with her feet on the seat behind me. Skillful, I know, but no Photoshop disaster this time. . . I believe you stand corrected!"

    Indeed, Rocha has never been afraid to speak her mind about the use of Photoshop in advertising and editorial work. In July, she tweeted, "Hey, Photoshop guys! Can you please be sure to count two arms and two legs on the girls you cut and paste? Thanks!! Sincerely, Models." Just before that, when her May cover of Elle Brazil was retouched to make it appear that she wasn't wearing a bra, Rocha dedicated a whole blog post to making it clear that she was.
