The Good:
It took some thunkin', but after much reflection, Ginnifer Goodwin's enormous cravat verges on the rad.


Helena Christensen (obviously) looks effortless.


Maggie Rizer can pull off a side-slit with, literally, her eyes half-closed.


Digging Zoe Kravitz's vaguely ridiculous riff on her dad's style.


Speaking of celeb spawn! Eva Amurri's definitely still finding her feet, red carpet-wise, but she looks really pretty here.


The Bad:
Olivia Palermo says: the best way to accessorize leather pants? A fur shrug!


Liking the idea of America in a suit, but this jacket's fit just doesn't look right.


Melora Hardin, magpie-style, apparently feels if one metallic is good, ten million's better!


Rachel Roy is apparently in Victorian deep mourning for her usual impeccable taste!


The Ugly:
Irina Pantaeva: Flower Child, ur doin it rong.

class="small">[Images via Getty]

The Good:
The bodice of Drew's dress actually projects about seven inches. And yes, that's an awesome thing!


How amazing does Ginnifer Goodwin look in this sunny saffron? Too bad she seems to play a total sad-sack...


This is probably as comfortable as we've ever seen Jenna Fischer look on the red carpet.


Jennifer Aniston's at her best when she does California cool; this sophisticated spin is sexy without trying too hard.


A touch of 40's sass helps Sasha Alexander pull this bold number off. And yes, it's got a low back!


So what if ra-ra dresses aren't exactly revelatory anymore? Giuliana DePandi's tights and shoes feel fresh.


The Bad:
Oh dear. Jennifer Connelly's sad community theatre Tinkerbell costume is too short, super unflattering, and did we mention...ugly?


Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's droopy getup reflects the ignominy of standing in front of a wall that reminds it "He's Just Not That Into You!" any time it starts to feel better about itself.


Kaley Cuoco: takes sack, applies rope.


Scarlett may take her name from Gone With The Wind; that doesn't mean she should be wearing gowns made of drapes.

[Images via Getty]

The Good:
On the rack, this must have looked like three kinds of dust-ruffle. But Ginnifer Goodwin makes it work!


Jolean Wejbe gets included for her pitch-perfect teen face.


I have loved Tina Majorino since Andre. I make no apologies for this fact, nor for liking anything Poiret-inspired.


Why the bish-face, Chloe? I like this one!

Hey, Branka Katic, have you seen my dropcloth? I wanted to do some painting...oh, hai.


Can we abolish skin-tight satin, Noa Tishby?

[Images via Getty]

The Good:


Ginniger Goodwin is adorable. So is her dress.


This shape is probably on its last legs, which is too bad! Some questions about Jenna Dewan's shoes but overall: win!


Per usual, Gabrielle Union makes it look easy.


It says something about the event when Paris Hilton looks this easy, breezy and cute. Maybe just that everyone's wearing the house brand?


As the Barefoot Contessa might say of Nikki Reed: How gorgeous is that?


Sanaa Lathan does sparkly with hat right.


The Bad:


Zoe Saldana's dress may have been made by our grandmother circa '76.


I know Amanda Heard's number shouts "D&G" and I guess that's the point, but it shouts "hideous!" even more loudly.


Nicky Hilton's nightie is like three kinds of sexy gone horribly awry.


I could maybe get behind Rumer Willis' Marilyn special had she not taken it over the top with this coiffure.


What Say You?


Rachel Bilson can wear anything...but should she have worn precisely this?

This is just judging from the trailer, embedded after the jump. In it, you'll see Goodwin playing a desperado woman who cluelessly pesters a man in a bar since he says "Look forward to hearing from you" even though she gave him her card; and Jennifer Aniston whine, "You don't ever feel like we're going against nature by not getting married?" to a grossed-out Ben Affleck. Take a moment to vomit.

So, Goodwin's character is way too naive and Aniston's character doesn't want the same things as her man. Weak women, how fun! And there's more: Drew Barrymore's three (gay?) guy friends gather around to hear her voicemail from a dude, only to find out that he left the exact same voicemail for some other chick. Wow, does she look dumb.

The trailer uses "Friday I'm In Love" by The Cure try to trick you into thinking that this is a feel-good comedy, but it's clearly just a complete and utter evisceration and mockery of the female psyche. Men aren't jerks; women are IDIOTS. The film opens in February 2009, but based on the trailer it should be opening later this month, as a horror film.
