There are so many trends going on in this one photo of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, we're not sure we can get to them all.

Well, OK, it's the Internet and there's infinite room out here, but maybe we're too busy shopping for lipstick and cute belts to get to them all. Yes, that's what we meant to say.

Let's start with the black and white ensembles. Black and white is turning out to be huge this season, just as popular as bold colors and micro shorts and crocheted everything. For a recent date night in West Hollywood, the couple opted for black tops and white bottoms—very pre-Labor Day chic. We love the lines of Portia's top—we like to imagine that's a dramatic Stevie Nicks-style hood hanging down her back, even though it's probably just draped.
