The ELLE Women in Hollywood Party: Women Wore Black and White

Jameela Jamil

This is very cheeky and whimsical and honestly fun. I like seeing her wearing something so bubbly.

Lauren Ridloff

This is also honestly VERY fun. She looks a little bit like she's emerging from a dollop of whipped cream, but it's a great party dress.

Simple, but great on her.

Nina looks great doing the Sexy Tootsie in Mourning, and Thuso Mbedu is a dream. That scarf is somehow so glam.

Mindy Kaling

This is objectively boring but also very professional and reasonable and Mindy isn't going to lay awake in her bed wondering what on earth she was thinking.

Naomi Watts in Dior

Same here, honestly, although it's got more zing than Mindy's look does. (Mindy might have pushed it more with hair and makeup though.)

This is very slinky and beautiful on her.

Tia Mowry

And this is a bit daytime, but she looks VERY cute in it. I told you this slideshow was mostly very successful and pleasant!

Whitney Peak in Chanel

Also a bit daytime but also charming, so....

Bella Heathcote in Ralph Lauren

Very 80s....but not in a bad way.

Madison Beer in D&G

After so many honestly reasonable and good and fun and cheery looks...this feels very dated to me. (Interesting, there was not a lot of D&G at this party.)

Jurnee Smollett

PALATE CLEANSER.

Kerry Washington

This honestly feels like a bunch of random stuff in her closet that she threw together to see if she could get away with it.

Alexandra Shipp in Ralph Lauren

I'm never going to love those cut-outs, but she is carrying this off -- in large part, I think, because her head looks SO good.

Kristen Bell

The Floating Head of Kristen Bell is my favorite new song.
