Metallics are popular these days, and Kate Beckinsale, Kerry Washington and Naomi Watts flaunted their golden power on Tuesday in three very different looks.

Kate appeared on the "Late Show with David Letterman" in New York City wearing a gorgeous one-shouldered black and gold gown. She is promoting her upcoming film "Underworld: Awakening."

Kerry attended the Disney ABC Television Group 2012 winter TCA press tour all-star party in Pasadena, Calif., in a short gold sequined dress held up by tiny straps. She stars in the upcoming TV series "Scandal."

Naomi attended the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York City in an unusual gold and blue sheath dress. She recently appeared in "J. Edgar."
