Julia Roberts' Valentino gown proved that it's perfectly acceptable to see things in black-and-white, at least when it comes to fashion. At the 2001 Academy Awards, Roberts accepted her Best Actress statue for Erin Brockovich in a vintage black column gown with a tulle overlay and white piping details from the designer's couture collection. Valentino recently said that seeing Roberts in the dress was the highlight of his career.
