The Quandary: It's always hard when you are convinced you hate something, like shiny leggings and gladiator sandals, and then Selita Ebanks waltzes up and looks amazing in them. She can, I suspect, do this with anything.


Psst, Hana Soukupova, your bra is showing!


Um, Awkward: I am glad I don't know Stacey Bendet, lovely as she seems, as I really wouldn't know what to say if I came face to face with her in this dress. I think I'd say something about the amethyst color. Yes, the color is lovely! So rich!


Temple of Doom: Ali Larter's amulet is clearly possessed of magical powers, and the search for it may well prompt a rollicking adventure. I'm assuming this dress is explained somewhere later in the script?


What Say You about Alexis Bledel's getup? I'm recusing myself because my love for her makes me impartial - even though I hated Gilmore Girls!
