Actress and singer Adrienne Bailon visited visits children and delivers Fisher Price toys at New York's Beth Israel Medical Center. (Sadly, the dreaded angry 1988 cat got to her jeans. Sorry, I'll be generous for Christmas.)


...but here she is delivering toys...


...meeting the hard-working staff...


...and brightening sick children's days!


In New York, the Giulianis visited the Mother Hale Learning Center, and both this little girl and Tiana are terrified.


In London, Prince William slept on the streets (although to his credit, I believe this was a pap shot.)


...meanwhile, at a Seville children's hospital, Spanish model Eva Gonzalez was a literal Ave Maria.


...and Holly Madison celebrated her birthday in Las Vegas.

So, when I saw Linda Batista's fur - and then the sea of other pelts - I thought, "well, it must have been really cold." So I checked. It was 55 degrees.


But then I saw she had a lot of...ground to cover.


Then I saw Alessandra Canale, and realized that was de rigueur.


Actress Sarah Maestri didn't get the memo.


Roberta Beta's coat has the virtue of looking somewhat aviator-esque, at least.


Actress Maria Rosaria Omaggio does classic Fellini-esque flamboyant basic!


Singer Lola Ponce fills her animal skin quota - barely.

"Think of a better place. Think of a better place."


"Eli the Celebrity Chihuahua"'s expression gives new, poignant meaning to the words "tears of a clown." Ridi, Pagliacco, indeed. (With Karen Biehl, "Santa.")


Founder and editor of Animal Fair magazine Wendy Diamond is Santa's Helper. Santa looks sheepish.


A study in indignation: "Cheetah is so last season!"


This guy clearly takes the responsibilities of being an escort seriously!


This dog's face says: "I'm wearing a heating blanket for you. This is what devotion looks like."


"Why do you always get to wear the LBD while I'm stuck in this?"


"Give me that crucifix. I need to ward something off."

Australian model Jessica Hart — who actually writes a moderately entertaining style blog, and for us, those last two words are almost never modified by those first two — rocks a perfectly accessorized backless, strapless LBD.


Hart and her sister, fellow model Ashley Hart. We like Ashley's turquoise nailpolish and the fact that the leopard-print thing Jessica is carrying reveals itself to be a shirt she can throw on later. That's thinking ahead.


This guy, Rhys Uhlich, was on the Australian Make Me A Supermodel when we were last in Sydney. We always thought him quite cute. Nice to know he ended up...going to these kinds of parties. Nonetheless, we have to put him the The Bad for those strategically-ripped jeans, and for the collar that is trying, trying mightily, to pop.


Zoe Badwi is a singer, apparently. We say Release Us from the bonds of sub-starlets wearing studded denim. Amen.


Not only did Kasia Z apparently not get the dress code memo, she opted for ill-fitting acid wash denim — clue: acid-wash denim dresses are always ill-fitting, unless they have so much Lycra that they can no longer properly be considered denim — which is like a bad '80s flashback for those who don't remember the '80s.


We are torn. Television meteorologist Brodie Harper, of all people, really needn't be wearing tall black leather boots and tights with her dress in the middle of the Australian summer. On the other hand, her dress, with its wide stripe of fringe, is quite lovely and, we imagine, moves beautifully with dancing. What's your verdict?

Whenever I mention the weather, someone is like, "you don't know cold/heat/snow/rain." I live in [insert region of extreme weather.]" But in the immortal words of my college friend Ben, "because it's cold one place, doesn't mean it isn't also cold somewhere else." (I was suggesting that he should find a cold day a cakewalk after growing up in the Klondike.) Anyway, all I'm saying is, single digit temps was awfully chilly for Blake Lively to be sporting an 1890s showgirl costume.


Can anyone see model Michelle Hicks' faux-imal extravaganza and not think of the immortal Singin' in the Rain lyric, "the sleeves are lined with monkey fur to lend a dash of drama."


The proportions of Ashley Greene's getup are dubious, highly dubious - but it's still a positive refinement on Jessica Biel's infamous Oscars "sauna towel", yes?


Jessica Szohr shops her closet, to good effect. I don't know how these other dames were functioning sans tights, frankly. Let alone sleeves.


I mean, take Eva Mendes: wouldn't you agree that the combination of wispy dress, tights and structured jacket actually looks cooler? (As well as warmer.)


Rachel McAdams is Adler. Rachel McAdams is also wearing a molded cornice around the bosom.


I kind of dig both Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock country house getup and Susan's Studio 54 costume - but I find myself wishing they were dressed for the same party.


I'll give Cody Horn (with President of Warner Bros. Alan Horn) the benefit of the doubt and assume her derby is in honor of the movie, because this is a trend so absurd as to be beyond parody.


Jonny Lee Miller wears a suit well, say what one will.

It's Ripley! And looking absolutely action-hero splendid.


Speaking of ass-kicking chic, check out Jamie Lee Curtis' sleek LBD - and gorgeous silver crop!


Zoe Saldana manages to look stunning in a futuristic scrap-metal majorette's uniform, which is saying a lot.


Virginia Madsen's classic LBD is ready for a mid-century holiday party, complete with Tom & Jerrys.


Michelle Rodriguez is a vision in fuschia: the contrast with undone hair keeps it casual.


I might have been tempted to not put a spotlight directly on my bosom, but Cheryl Tiegs knows what she wants.


Everyone's favorite Rorshach couple, the DeVito-Perlmans.


Audrina Patridge is identified as an "actress" here. I don't know about that, but I do know that this "suit" looks ridiculous.


Leona Lewis is thisclose to a "happy birthday, Mr. President" moment.


CCH Pounder takes "drapery" to a whole new level. Even Rami bows his head in shame before its sheer scope.

Loving the Iris Apfel thing that both Mary-Kate (L) and Ashley are rocking here!


Would it be a New York red carpet without Rachel Roy's sleek separates? No, it would not.


It's gotta be hard if, like Fergie, you spend hours on a full-out Aphrodite...


...only to find Marion Cotillard doing this far more elegant version of white...


And Penelope Cruz just doing "goddess" better than anyone else in the history of the world.


I'm guessing Kimora Lee Simmons (with Djimon Hounsou) has no moral qualms about fur. Just a guess.


Is the bandage still fresh? Maybe not, but as Emmanuelle Chriqui shows, it can still be sleek, sexy and very festive.


Melania Trump's bitch-face says, "that's right, I'm not wearing pants. And you'll take it and like it."


If you gotta ride the DeLorean, Naomi Watts shows what to wear.


It's gotta be hard to have a mom who can say, "Oh yeah, I invented that. 1984. Feel free to raid the closet!"


Nicole Kidman channels the original Barbie. I wouldn't be shocked if there's a striped bathing suit underneath.


"Honey, I thought we agreed "Ascotte Gavotte," not "Truman Capote's Black and White Ball!""


Judi Dench: what, it's cold.

Rachel McAdams: Studio 54 Olympus.


How dapper is Ozwald Boateng - controversial stripe and all? Man, the Brits.


Robert Downey Jr (with wife Susan Levin) does not seem to have profited from his proximity to Savile Row. Unless, that is, muscle tees and fedoras are being cranked out by bespoke tailors.


The combination of little girl's party dress and medieval chatelaine's girdle somehow works on Jenni Falconer.


A good rule of thumb is probably "union jack purse" or "leopard pumps." But Zara Martin knows rules are made to be broken.


Jude Law skews oddly "Little Tramp." Having seen him on Broadway in yoga togs not a few weeks ago, however, I can assure you that he is in fact still both handsome and extremely handsome.


A free imaginary cupcake to whoever can interpret the allegory on Kelly Reilly's dress.


It's like Heather Graham is channeling Roller Girl: the later years.


It's like Gwen Stefani creates a cool whirlpool that draws all coolness into her orbit. This is how to do easy winter!

Catherine Zeta-Jones brings the Hollywood glamour - but a tasteful amount.


Actress Leigh Ann Larkin brings one of the more novel breast-frames we've seen in months!


Any warmth provided by actress Alana De La Garza's Jeremiah Jones-worthy sheepskin is undone by the, ahem, ventilation of her decolletage.


Diane von Furstenberg: Venus in Furs. (And yes, I do realize her boots aren't really that shiny.)


Would it be a Broadway opening without perennial leading lady Barbara Cook? No, it would not.


There is a symmetry to the vent system of Kym Johnson's booties and dress that is either genius or just really drafty.


Actress Ramona Mallory goes for the ever-popular "sea nymph."


Actress Betsy Morgan, meanwhile, sports what some of us call a "peplum," my dad calls a
"fabric fanny pack."


You know I love the panache of these Broadway events! And actress Jayne Paterson's prom-ready fuschia is a prime example of this!


Angela Lansbury, meanwhile, is Noel Coward-country-house on-point!


Marissa McGowan's dress would be right at home in the What Not to Wear reveal: make of this what you will.

I don't want to criticize Suzanne Somers' gloves in case they have magical medical properties that I've been brainwashed not to recognize.


Ellen Barkin evokes that perennial holiday favorite, the sexy Victorian undertaker.


Cindy Crawford: we hate to say this, but Barbie called, and she wants her casual Friday ensemble back. Cause it's Friday, and she needs it. Don't shoot the messenger.


Emma Heming's ankle bracelet matches her necklace. Don't know if this adds to or detracts from her otherwise pitch-perfect socialite getup.


Alyssa Milano's prom purse somehow makes this whole "lady in red" look. It's the holidays!


Rebecca Mader rocks the breast frame. Sequined, for festivity.


I'm imagining Ghada Irani in talks with a dressmaker. "You know what this needs? A belt. And some infanta-style panels. And let's up the sequins."


Direct your attention to Joan Collins' feet, please. You may be witnessing the birth of a bold new trend.


Selena Gomez, as always, is Disney-princess-perfect. A tad mature, maybe, but definitely textbook "Benefit."


Barbara Davis knows: if it's not broke.

[Images via Getty]

On most of us: a hippie curtain. On Natalia Vodianova? Sophisticated perfection.


Not sure if Amber Le Bon is channeling her mother...or Duran-Duran's "Rio" period.


Dancer Kristina Rihanoff channels the pompom, which is either always - or never - perfectly appropriate.


It's like 100% of the time, Jerry Hall's wearing an awesome neon sign proclaiming, "you can take the girl our of Texas..."


Throw in a little London, and apparently you get Georgia May Hall!


Here's the question: are Eva Herzigova ...


...and Daisy Lowe wearing very similar dresses? Okay, only sort of.


Do we love Claudia Schiffer's vaguely festive psychedelia? No. Can we admit she looks amazing it it? Yes.


It's really hard to look at Jonathan Rhys Meyers the same way after seeing The Tudors, so let's focus on Reena Hammer's "Flaming June" instead.


Pixie Geldof , or Morticia Sedgwick?


There we go! Myleene Klass is like the only one working the sequins trend - at the only time of year when it's actually festive!


Why didn't Twiggy whip out this bitch face - or these White Snake leggings - during ANTM?!


Ben Grimes sports the controversial Double Purse.


I'll admit to loving anyone who played Fanny so well in Love in a Cold Climate, but come on: Rosamund Pike's hon boho on a bender is pretty bewitching!


How much do you love Victoria Beckham's Nancy-Reagan-goes-ice-skating/goes-to-a-benefit?


The craziest thing? You know this entire ensemble will sell out at Top Shop in like five minutes. And no one is going to look remotely as crazy-cool.

Okay, obviously Rihanna's retro-futuristic bellhop is awesome. But what do we think of the metallic hedgehogs on her feet?


Yawn. Taylor Swift is flawless, so what's new?


Cape: check. Rat's nest: check. Claws: check. Pants:? Ke$ha knew she forgot something.


Corinne Bailey Rae always pulls off elegant - but interesting. Harder than it sounds.


Allison Iraheta, apparently, just wants to have fun. Time after time.


Sheryl Crow: James Dean on top, Audrey on the bottom. No wonder she looks agonized.


The only question? What's Ciara superpower.


It's not just that Adam Lambert's being bold in rocking ombre pants: it's that the white part's on the bottom. This is a man who can afford cabs.

[Images via Getty]

Let's face it: Susan Sarandon has earned the right to wear flats if she feels like it.


Ariana Grande is in the brief window where it's acceptable to wear shrink-wrapped velvet.


I'm over the 90s-floral, as modeled by Courtney Ford, but I guess given the film's subject matter, it's kind of apropos.


Speaking of current retro-trends: the early-90s/late 80s mini (on Rose McIver) has the virtue of (when worn with tights) being relatively warm.


Oh noes! Olivia Munn forgot her shoes!


Nikki Soohoo is so ready for Radio City!


Saoirse Ronan makes her official debut as the one of the chicest, awesome young actresses on the planet.


I think what AJ Michalka was going for...


...was done better by Stefania Owen!


Lea Thompson, you see, believes in Love.


Kat Kramer believes in being on every red carpet anywhere, in a houndstooth marching-band hat.


And Rachel Weisz? Subscribes the the school of gently daring pretty!

[Images via Getty]

Padma Lakshmi is someone whose cosmic-joke beauty demands envelope-pushing. Like, just how much can she get away with? Well, her 70s tattered "Leather and Lace" ghost-bride is the answer to that question.


I get where Rachel Roy is coming from. Sometimes you start the "whimsical layering" and it's hard to stop. Unlike some of us, however, I presume she has a full-length mirror.


Uh oh! Kevin Bacon has been watching Felicity again...as have I!


Don't you love it when Madonna just gives in to "aging diva?" In a way, isn't that what she's been training for her entire life?


Julianne Moore has embraced the ankle-irons shoe with suspicious enthusiasm.


Judy Greer - with Lee Pace - has "not trying too hard" so down.


Olivia Palermo begs the question: is a leather tunic "timeless" or just "appropriate for a Medieval guildsman?"


Ellen Barkin has the New York bitch face down more than any other actress.


Terry Richardson and Tamara Mellon, looking exactly like themselves. Make of this what you will.


Let's face it: Colin and Livia Firth have every right to look smug.

Model Tallulah Adeyemi is one of four women in the world who can work a bra-cup bodice. I'm not sure that the rest of it shouldn't be more deco-fitted, but whatevs.


Quoth Dodai, "I don't know who that is, but I admire her moxie." (It's Shingai Shoniwa of The Noisette.)


Nancy Del'Olio realizes this is the one case where "Fellini-esque" is not a horrified insult (necessarily.) And she's taking full advantage.


Guinnesses: how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: Mitford-descended, and (in the case of Jasmine), leopard-sporting, drapery-trailing, retro-glam.


Doesn't the beauty of Penelope Cruz in this ragamuffin-glam just make you ache like a perfect sunset or the Grand Canyon or some Hudson River School-worthy vista?


NB, Nicole: 20s-Victorian-schoolgirl is not your look. Indeed, arguably not anyone's. Well, maybe a Guinness.


Kate Hudson's bodice looks suspiciously like one of those rubber mats we made as kids from little beads and ironed into trivets or ambiguous Christmas presents. And, therefore, uncomfortable. But this is total La Dolce Vita territory.


Lemon may actually be Judi Dench's color - yet further proof of her exceptionalism.
<brNatasha Kaplinsky is a news-reader. Her guest is not ID'd. He has a velvet jacket.


Hey, if you're going to dress like a mariachi ringmaster, and apparently DDL is going to do just that, now's the time. And Rebecca Miller is obviously supportive.

[Images via Getty]

I'm guessing Sandra Lee was troubled by the somewhat minimal adoption of the "snowflake" motif, complete lack of tablescapes, and sought to remedy things with her choice of gown.


Hillary Gumbel, meanwhile, did Grecian Winter Wonderland.


Can I tell you how much I love that Lauren Bush is rocking the eccentric Italian widow from a Fellini film look? (The bag, one supposes, is Unicef-related.)


Wonder what her cousin Jenna thinks? Gotta say, she's looking understated-holiday chic.


As for Barbara (with a classically-clad Maggie Betts ), that icy smile really says it all.


Alicia Blythewood does classic 60's benefit - complete with cruel under-arm abrasion.


Deborah Roberts may get the prize for best holiday-ball attire: can you beat metallic brocade for classic regal and sheer weight?


Ok, her or Gillian Miniter.


Annette Lauer: ready for the Ascotte Gavotte, the licorice candy stick, the 80s and, apparently, the charity ball.


Model Dayle Haddon has that deer-in-a-headlights look of one in a classic Marilyn gown and a miniature bag.


I know how Muffie Potter Aston feels: I'm always the gnome in pix, even when the other isn't as tall as Somers Farkas. Well, except for feeling like a full-time socialite in shantung benefit-wear, that is.


Singer Chrisette Michele's pompadour and Lillian Russell silhouette make for a pleasantly retro bombshell effect, no?
that is.


David Duchovny's all, "I'm a sex addict, get me out of here!" Tea Leoni's all, "not a chance."

[Images via Getty]

It's like Molly Sims is a secret agent and they haven't really figured out how to get spy devices and hidden cameras small enough, so she has to wear this "necklace" on her missions.


Contestant Galina Sobolev is respecting an etiquette rule that's inscrutable to the rest of the world.


If this sneer - and sequined Snuggie - are typical of contestant Vanessa Gonzales, we're in for...well, sneering. And sequins.


Meanwhile, contestant Merle Ginsberg is a shoo-in for the "Anna Wintour Gratuitous Fur" award.


First: this show is about launching fashion lines, right? Okay, I'm starting to get excited. Because, let's face facts: contestant Kathy Rose is wearing what appears to be a velveteen body suit, a Glinda skirt, and...an enormous whale necklace. Excellent.


Tinsley Mortimer: the deconstructed bandage.


See, the fact that everyone is doing a sneery side-eye like contestant Susan Brunet makes it impossible to tell who's the villain! Does all this winter white mean "good" or "White Witch" evil?


Is contestant Louanna Rawls deliberately and bravely working a difficult length, or is it just...a difficult length?


And then we have...contestant Patrick McDonald. Yeah, I'll be watching the premiere.

Kind of digging on Amy Landecker's happy hour look.


Natalie Portman says: be afraid. Be very afraid. I went to Harvard and I love animals. And I dress flawlessly, with just a hint of calculated, sophisticated risk.


Kristen Wiig is one of my favorite human beings, which is why I'm not even commenting on a bootie choice and incorporates an entirely different genre, like Sergio Leone being brought in to finish Sex and the City 2. (Work with me.)


Uh oh. Brooke Shields' dress is being dragged down and off by the weight of the feathers and tulle.


When it comes to Rosie Perez' enormous bow: fun or fug? (Keeping in mind that we're now firmly in the holiday season.)

Patricia Clarkson: "I'll show ya how it's done, kid. It's all about the jewel tones."


Margarita Levieva: Why go with Lauper makeup and a tried-and-true 80s neckline and then wimp out on the heels? It was "Holiday" until we hit the lack of pointy pumps!


We have approximately 5 seconds before Sari Lennick starts a round of inappropriate giggles. Possible caused by itchy lame.


"Yes, I am doing Audrey, dammit! And it's glorious!" (Melonie Diaz)


Shohreh Aghdashloo: "Oh, honey, you have no idea. This is my little brooch."

[Images via Getty]

"No pictures, please. Channing Tatum and I are just good friends."


"I am the ghost of Christmas past. Bring me an Old-Fashioned, a pack of Luckys and a pair of tap shoes!" (Yes, that is Mitzi "Nurse Nellie Furbush" Gaynor!)


Jenna Dewan: "Make this quick. My breasts are trying to escape."


Katie Holmes (a Dizzy Feet Foundation founding member) has the look of someone who knows she's about to have to answer questions about Scientology, being a prisoner, and/or her daughter's shoes. In other words, she's poised to flee. (Or else her skirt is just shorter than she realized and she's doing the no-show dance.)


Haylie Duff: holiday-party-ready. All she needs is one of those sparkly sweaters!


Mary Murphy is either sporting a dress that looks like a strapless mini over a tee, or a strapless mini over a tee. It's a philosophical and aesthetic conundrum.


Sharni Vinson says: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof auditions, this way?"


Philanthropist Glorya Kaufman has, with her multiple good works, earned the right to wear a see-through housecoat if she so chooses. And to spell her name with a "Y."


Kristi Yamaguchi: "What? I like bows."

[Images via Getty]

Not many women can look this poised and elegant while superimposed against a large, golden faun. Kate Winslet is that woman.


Katja Burkhard's flamenco-chic is oddly festive.


You know how that old saw about understated, Jackie O-style elegance has it that you take one thing off before leaving the house? Well, actress Dennenesch Zoude's version of that is, "add a feather necklace."


See, you'd think that if you were going to put a giant "bullseye" in the middle of your dress, you'd want shoes you could easily run in. But Shakira disagrees.


German actress Diana Amft apparently doesn't associate raw silk with 60's-style balloon drapes. Which I concede may be personal.


Actress Nadeshda Brennicke would like you to know that she is whimsical in a roaring-20s-gaiety sort of way. Message received.


Isa Graefin von Hardenberg models the 1980s, in sartorial form. This is like fabric pesto-and-raspberry-vingear. Or the German equivalent!


Nina Eichinger knows that sometimes you can't beat classic Deco. And this would also make a gorgeous wedding gown.


Mareile Hoeppner's gown is either a work of amazing artistry or rank folly. I'm leaning towards "both."


Frauke Ludowig sports the old Ethereal Mid-90s-Mrs.-Roper look.
