It’s even scarier than Voldemort: Daniel Radcliffe’s first post-”Potter” film, “The Woman in Black,” opens today, and we’re all pretty psyched for the dark drama. Even the spooky rhyming commercial advertisements are terrifying—there is going to be some serious watching-between-your-fingers, feet-up-on-the-chair action going on in theaters. But while Daniel may appear terrified of the “Woman in Black,” we know a few women in black who are anything but frightening. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite celebrity fashionistas, who show us that basic black is sexy—not scary. See our entire gallery by clicking on the image below!

From Angelina Jolie’s iconic dominatrix-inspired leather ensemble to Lucy Hale and Selena Gomez’s recent playful cut outs, these starlets are conjuring up plenty of accolades. Even sparkle and fun country cutie Taylor Swift knows that when you want to go high glam, you go with black, as she did in a dramatic gown with a plunging neckline during the 2009 Grammy festivities. Then there’s perennial red-carpet darling Lea Michele, who may be known for her bold fashion choices but couldn’t resist the lure of becoming a woman in black when she slipped on a lace design with a sheer overlay, perfectly modeling a Karl Lagerfeld number during Paris Fashion Week—so incredibly chic.

Pretty Little Liars Season 2 has been one entertaining (and totally spooky) thrill-ride, and episode 2.18 raised the stakes with a stream of new twists including A completely destroying Hanna’s already-frail relationship with Kate and revealing that Alison DiLaurentis apparently led a oh-so-sketchy “double” life! Well, brace yourselves darlings, because Pretty Little Liars episode 2.19, “The Naked Truth,” is going keep you glued to your seats: Rosewood High is hosting a “Truth-Up Day” and some dark little secrets will come to light! Plus, Spencer will begin investigating the drama between Jason and her dad, Aria will try to figure out why Holden’s all bruised up, and Hanna will try to salvage her reputation and standing with Kate!

Here’s the official synopsis for Pretty Little Liars Season 2 episode 19:

As Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer participate in Rosewood High’s “Truth-Up Day,” the girls discover some shocking truths of their own in “The Naked Truth,” an all new episode of ABC Family’s hit original series “Pretty Little Liars,” airing Monday, February 6th (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT).

Rosewood High’s “Truth-Up Day,” is not just an opportunity for the students of the school to air their grievances and stop bullying, but also a chance for Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer to get answers to some burning questions. Spencer looks to find answers on what is going on between Jason and her father when Jason shows up as a chaperone; Aria continues to question Holden on what exactly he is up to during their “date nights,” and Hanna tries to figure out the latest situation with Kate. But will the girls be ready for what they find out when shocking truths are revealed? Meanwhile, Emily gets help from an unlikely source to get back on the Rosewood swim team.

Emily Fields hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to finding love in Rosewood. First, she broke up with her long-term boyfriend Ben on Pretty Little Liars Season 1. Then, she fell for Maya St. Germain (the free-spirited girl who moved into Alison DiLaurentis’ house) only to have to say goodbye when Maya was shipped off to juvie camp. Next came Paige—the initially psycho, homophobic teammate who shocked viewers when she revealed she had feelings for Em (via a late-night smooch). Finally, there was beautiful, blond bombshell Samara (played by Vampire Diaries star Claire Holt). Their relationship was chugging along splendidly—that is, until A came and caused a massive wreck by forcing Emily to flirt with one of Samara’s best friends!

Fortunately for kind, compassionate Emily, it looks like there may be a happily-ever-after (at least a few weeks worth) for her after all! In “A Kiss Before Lying” she and Maya grow closer than ever before and share an intimate, romantic evening together. (They even seal the deal with a sweet kiss!)

Preview some lovely (and slightly creepy) moments from Emaya’s date in the Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 18 episode stills below!

Turn on the slow jams…Emaya’s back on!

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS – “A Kiss Before Lying” – After putting her foot down about Caleb with her friends, Hanna begins to feel that she is getting the cold shoulder from them. Aria, Emily and Spencer seem to be up to something, but she can’t quite seem to figure out what it is. But what Hanna may take as the cold shoulder, could really be just a case of guilty consciences from her friends. And if her best friends avoiding her weren’t enough, Kate’s first day at Rosewood High is looming. Now that her evil step-sister is invading Hanna’s space, she needs her friends more than ever, on an all new episode of ABC Family’s hit original series “Pretty Little Liars,” airing Monday, January 30th (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT).
