The Good:
I went through a phase of really resenting Bijou Phillips — I guess in high school. But I think we've both mellowed since then. I can now admit she looks awesome, and she can continue to be unaware of my existence, and everyone's happy.
There are a lot of circumstances in which I'd loathe Whitney Able's bodice. Okay, maybe every circumstance but this one: I think the understatement of the rest of the gown, a modest chest make it work. But don't try this at home!
I like so much of what actress Lake Bell is doing here. Sure, it's a bit Lucky - but aren't we all, in our hearts?
Actress Sara Simmonds: no fireworks, but cute!
Okay, intellectually (huh? I don't know) this bores me a bit , but Katie Luong's belt makes me think she knows her stuff.



The Bad:
Producer Roxanne Messina Captor's dress has the unfortunate effect of looking like she's wearing a bra with highly visible straps. Also, not feeling the court shoes.
Twink Kaplan retains a place in all our hearts for playing adorably frumpy Miss Geist in Clueless - and she had a good bit to do with the movie's production, too. But Michael Kors will not be denied: "satin should look like no human hands have touched it. This looks like twenty pairs of hands touched it." (Paraphrased.)


The Creepy:
So last night Jessica and I were IMing as we both watched synchronized diving, and one of us was like, "it looks cool, but why?" If we remove the first part of that clause, it applies to Janelle and Jalynne Dantzscher here.

The Good:
Christy Turlington glows in a red dress in an unexpected silhouette.
Emily Mortimer went a little gladiator for the superhero theme.
Stella McCartney and Kate Moss shine perfectly.
Camilla Belle looks wrapped in clouds.
If I were Christina Ricci, I would never ever ever take this dress off. Ever. It is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Love. Speechless. Sigh.
Diane Kruger looks a little bit like the Tin Man, but I love that she went for a short dress. Also, love love the shoes.
Iman. Always perfect. What else is new?
Kate Mara! Yellow! Yes! Yes!
Tom Cruise looks weirder than normal, but Katie Holmes looks fantastic, which of course I hate to say. But there's no denying all that red.
Dear Mischa Barton: Strip and give me that dress right now. Kthanxbai.
Please God let my face age like Natasha Richardson's.
Rachel Bilson looks like a total freak and I love. Clearly, she mistook "superheroes" to mean "Morticia Addams."
ScarJo is simultaneously old school and somewhat infantalized in her D&G but she looks hot, so good for her.
I still am not entirely sure who Taylor Swift is, but I like her chainmail-esque dress.
Sorry, you just can't hate on Victoria Beckham.
Emmy Rossum is a head-turner in this black-and-white floral frock.
Claudia Schiffer's dress is downright ethereal. Valentino is downright orange.
Ellen Barkin manages to always play it classy.
Jessica Stam is sorta a bad ass!
Michelle Trachtenberg? Or Liza at Studio 54?
Molly Sims must know my weakness for the color yellow.
Call me a crazy motherfucker, but Wendi Deng looks incredible.
Almost-goth Amanda Peet is fabulous.
Um, I love that Amber Valetta's dress has wings.
I totally heart you and your kick-ass black dress Ashley Olsen.
Can we discuss how awesome it is that Barbara Walters is there with Charlie Rose?
Claire Danes is sorta channeling Angela here, no?
This is seriously the best I have ever seen Fergie look.
Yeah, same for Hilary Duff.
Lake Bell went for it.
Lauren Bush is one class act in royal purple.
Margherita Missoni: Crazy-awesome.
Michelle Monahagan should only ever wear copper. Wow.
Paula Patton: Pretty.
Sofia's shiny drop-waisted number is delightful.
Tilda Swinton? Or Mr. Roboto?
Vera Wang and Karolina Kurkova play their metallics en suite.
Be my flamenco dancer, Ingrid van der Bosch.
Maggie Gyllenhaal knows you gotta go big or go home.
Venus Williams is a beacon of light.
Be still my heart, Zoe Kravitz-as-a-Clara Bow.
Bee Shaffer's dress is phenomenal. But why is Andre Leon Talley relegated to straightening her train?!

The Good:
Sorry — can't comment. Too distracted by Lake Bell's legs. So. Much. Leg.
Ooh Whitney Cummings' dress is cute. I would like a casual and sweet dress covered in little flowers like that. [Who is Whitney Cummings? -Ed.]
Cameron's dress is hot, even if Ashton looks douchey in his plaid dinner jacket.


The Bad:
Does anyone else love the color of Brooke Burns' dress but feel like the dress looks cheap? Not "trashy" cheap; "gonna fall apart on you after one wear" cheap.
Diablo Cody? Or a cupcake?
That's a whole lotta dress on the very small Eva Longoria. Also, what's with her shoes?
I like the shape of Michelle Krusiec's dress. It's too bad it's made from aluminum foil.
Tamara Mowry: Wow — where has she been? And where's her sister Tia? Anyway, she looks very nice. (If she were at an office and not on the red carpet.)
Punky Brewster! Why oh why are you wearing that?


The Ugly:
Some days, I'm just so grateful for Bai Ling. And the Band-Aids on her legs that match her dress.

The Good: Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen: I've got no idea who she is, but I do know that I think she has flawless taste. Love everything I see her in, this black dress included. Rather funereal, but I would wear Christina Applegate's all-black look. I can never understand how you can fail to remove your outerwear for the red carpet, and I don't generally approve of jeans on the red carpet, but I just can't bring myself to hate on Felicity Huffman. Good on Nicolette Sheridan. Lindsay Sloane's dress is too big and too long — and yet, I likey.

The Bad: Someone tell Eva Longoria that there's a flower sprouting out of her left breast. Also, why does she always dress like a 14-year old who bought the whole matching ensemble at Charlotte Russe? Lake Bell has been shopping in Judy Jetson's closet again, it seems. Why so blue, Katee Sackhoff? Mom jeans for all! Or at least for marrieds Jake Weber and Elizabeth Carey. Sarah Lancaster's dress should be good, and yet...it's not.
The Ugly: Leah Remini, it seems, is once again sharing clothes with Elvira. Bonnie Somerville: Reminding us of everything that was wrong with early 90's style.
