Mary J. Blige does total class act in elegant basics. Plus, is apparently a guest builder on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this season.


Mark Ronson looks like a Saturday Night Fever extra.


Alicia Keys' bracelet is very Where the Wild Things Are! Gucci president Daniella Vitale, meanwhile, demonstrates the appropriate length for a tunic worn over leggings.


I'm really wishing we could see all of anchorwoman Alina Cho's frock (with MAC Cosmetices President John Dempsey) but hey, it's getting chilly.


Savannah Brinson (with LeBron James) rocks one of those trends that inexplicably won't die: large-scale houndstooth. That said, the shape is lovely.


I feel like one could see Devon Aoki's shirt on a rack at a thrift store and shudder - yet she looks totally elegant! (Once she and I were at airport security together in London. I was really late, she was on celebrity time.)


Serena Williams (with the natty LeBron)' sleek frock is Last Days of Disco glam! And can I admit that I don't like that movie very much?


Is it still considered "the Regis" if there's no monochromatic tie? Whatever, never my favorite look - along with gratuitous shades - but singer Ryan Leslie still looks pretty sharp.


I hate to break this to singer Jadyn Maria...but she forgot her camisole, and her chain-mail top is see-through. Embarrassing, I know.


Estelle, in a Mary J. - Russell Simmons sandwich, looks as cute and jazzy as ever - even if I'd like to maybe hem her trousers half an inch.

The Good:

Regal Cate Blanchett wears filmy ruffles with aplomb.

Aaaah! I love Bar Refaeli's dress. Fitted yet flowy, simple yet detailed. Check out the back:

Gorgeous.

Elsa Zylberstein shines in sunny yellow.

Love the color and the ruffles on Natalie Portman's little purple dress.

I hate it when I like something about Eva Longoria. But vivid Mediterranean blue on the red carpet is exactly right for the French Riviera. Ooh, Aishwarya Rai looks good too, even if her skirt is a wee wrinkly.

Lord, I love me some Faye Dunaway. Soft and glowing in rosy pink.

The Bad:

Hair pulled too tight and dress that looks too stiff make Devon Aoki resemble a mermaid out of water. With a scale disease.

Andrea Osvart's dress isn't exactly bad, but on the Cannes red carpet you're supposed to turn it up a notch.

It's hard to explain why Mischa Barton's gown doesn't feel right: Too heavy, too detailed, too dark? Not well-fitting enough?

Afef Jnifen is some kind of foxy model/actress. Love her hair, hate her dress. Huge sleeve or huge skirt. Not both.

Wow, Gillian Anderson! It's been so long! Great to see her. It would be even better to see her in a more flattering dress.

The Ugly:

Eleonara Abbagnata's dress appears to made of seaweed.

Julianne Moore is beautiful. And I appreciate a gown that takes risks, that dares to be different. I like when design is quirky and clever. But parrot feathers and fabric flowers and a detailed waist and sheer under sheer? Bad. In my opinion. I mean look!

A beautiful woman in an ugly dress.
