Ladies in black: Vote for these hot red carpet outfits

You can have any colour as long as it's black, Henry Ford said memorably of the colour.

While the industrialist may have been only thinking of cars when he said it, fact is that there is no other colour quite so endearing as black.

And so when the most stylishly turned out women at the preview of The Glamour of Italian Fashion Exhibition in London were in black we weren't surprised at all.

So here we have it -- the hottest women in black. At the exhibition and beyond!

What's more? We want you to tell us what you thought of each of these women and their red carpet designs! So don't forget to take the poll at the bottom of each page!
