The Good:
The cut of Melina Kanakaredes' dress is amazing, and the color probably looks great with her eyes. Plus, I have a hunch the harsh glare of the flashbulbs is hurting this dress and it looks even better in person.

Hi, Jenny Mollen, I don't know who you are but IMDB says you're engaged to Jason Biggs and appeared on Angel a few times. Congrats on that. Your dress is super cute.

Tichina Arnold may have fallen victim to wrinkled satin but she's cool so whatever.

The Bad:
Cashmere Mafia's Bonnie Somerville: The dress could almost be okay, even with that wide-ass belt, if you were bare-legged. But the tights and boots make you look like a castaway from the crew of the Starship Enterprise, and not in a good way.

Hahahaha, Emmanuelle Vaugier of CSI: NY, it' so hilarious that you think this dress is cute. The hideous orange patterned trim appears to match your purse and shoes, and that is not right. Sorry.

James Denton is too old to dress like a "dude" or a "bro." In addition, that tee is sooooo 2005. Mr. Denton would be foxy in a crisp button-down shirt and flat-front pants. Someone ought to let him know.

IMDB tells me that Alexandra Fulton played a prostitute on Touched By An Angel one time. That's neither here nor there. The problem is this outfit. I get what she's going for — old-skool Hollywood. Retroglam. It's great. But the dress is too pale for her. If she were raven-haired this would be amazing; since she is not, she needs to try again.

What is with the sleeves and the hem of Patricia Heaton's blouse? No comprende.

Julie Benz would look great walking on the beach at sunset in this dress; on the red carpet it hurts the eyes.

The Ugly:
Patricia Kara's dress is too short, too flimsy, too reminiscent of a curtain.

It doesn't matter what you do, Roger Cross, you will not distract us from those hideous shoes.
