Robin Roberts and Amber Laign had a glamorous date night at the “Call Me Izzy” Broadway opening night at Studio 54 on Thursday in New York City. For the event, the couple opted for monochrome looks to support Jean Smart’s show, contrasting with each other: Roberts wore an all-white ensemble and Laign wore all black.
The TV personality chose a pair of white shoes to complete her look. Roberts wore a pointed-toe style of croc-embossed pumps that featured a slight platform at the front and a sleek 3-to-4-inch heel. White shoes have been trending this season, with celebrities wearing them on and off the red carpet.

Laign went for a more modern look, but kept the heels classic. She wore a pair of black patent leather pointed pumps that peeked through her wide-legged trousers. The loose-fitting pants featured a high-waist design, which she accentuated with a slim, black leather belt. She wore a silk tank top, adding a twist to her look with a black hat and a pop of color with a car race print tote bag from Sacai.
While coordinating their outfits, Roberts and Laign both embraced the ongoing monochrome dressing trend, which involves wearing varying shades, textures and fabrics of a single color to create a harmonious yet visually dynamic look. They also joined a long tradition of celebrity couples coordinating black-and-white outfits on the red carpet, as a nod to classic elegance. This monochrome palette has been embraced by famous duos such as Victoria and David Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk, and more couples.
