Proof That Cocktail-Length Gloves Are as Classic as Classic Gets

When we think elegant evening attire, our train of thought goes somewhat like this: ball gown, sparkly jewels, and long, glamorous gloves. Because if there's one thing the style stars like Dita Von Teese, Sarah Jessica Parker, and heck — even Olivia Pope — taught us, it's that a little hand-and-arm coverage can go a long way. Take a simple LBD, for example. It'll probably look great on its own, but add a pair of black gloves and bam! Breakfast at Tiffany's, here you come.

And since Amal Alamuddin was the latest to bring this classic look back at this year's Golden Globes (something that was met with mixed reviews), we thought it might be fun to see how some of our favourite ladies — both past and present — pulled off this trend. Get ready: you're about to feel some serious glove love.
