Clothes Are Possessed With Evil At Orphan Premiere

When you hear the words "Orphan premiere at the Mann Village Theater," you're probably expecting freaky kids and chills. But shirtless dudes? Leather pants? Kim Kardashian? That's a whole different kind of scary.

In case you can't tell, Vera Farmiga's gown is trimmed with an exposed-zipper origami heart of sorts.

Could Katee Sackhoff's dress be any sweeter and more innocent (besides the tightness in the bodice, that is)? She's just setting herself up to be mauled by a possessed orphan!

I have no idea what the dress code was for this event, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess this wasn't it. (Tommy Davidson)

I always wonder how kids like Isabelle Fuhrman feel about having their freaky movie incarnations splashed all over posters; here's hoping she gets a kick out of it. Digging her Odille getup!

In case you're wondering, yes, Kim Kardashian's wearing a dress over a tee. And yes, there's a shot where a photographer caught her adjusting it, which is what one assumes such a getup would require. Amongst other things.
CCH Pounder, in addition to an awesome name and some seriously important activism to her credit, has the presence to pull off: 1. Huge pattern 2. Huge necklace 3. Huge stole.

Lisa Rinna is looking far more demure and less professionally sexy than usual: I approve.
stole.

Ciara can rock this look, but...isn't she hot? And didn't she have to sit through a movie in those pants? Also, here's something I've always wondered: I have an Irish friend with the same name-spelling who's called KEE-RA. How do parents decide?

Stars Rock The Red Carpet At NAACP Image Awards

Last nights' NAACP Image Awards honored members of the African-American community (Aretha, Stevie) for various achievements, but one of the great unspoken achievements of the evening was the red carpet-wear. The women, on the whole, all looked beautiful, sophisticated, and fresh: America Ferrera was radiant, Chandra Wilson sparkled, and Jordin Sparks boasted a million-watt smile. There were, of course, the inevitable unfortunate choices. And while it would give anyone great glee to see Omarosa in an all-wrong dress, it hurs me to see Sydney Poitier (Death Proof) and Vanessa Williams looking less than their best. I did a double-take, however, when I saw Eva Pigford, left, who looks like an old-school glamor girl now: She's come so far since her days under Tyra's tutelage! The full Good, Bad, and Ugly after the jump.

The Good:
Short and sparkly looks great on Chandra Wilson.
Kate Walsh: Case in point of why I'm crazy for navy.
Jordin Sparks: The girl next door gets all dressed up — and looks great.
America Ferrera is nothing short of picture perfect.

The Bad:
Will someone please tell me what happened to Jurnee Smollett?
Sydney Poitier's dress just looks dated and tired.
Omarosa: Still fired.
Vanessa Williams' dress could have been great.

The Ugly:
I spy with my bionic eye an Erin Fetherston for Target heart tote bag on the arm of CCH Pounder.
Did Christel Khalil wear her saloon girl Halloween costume on the red carpet?
