Charlize Theron just auctioned off a kiss for some insane sum. This sort of vixen costume is appropriate kissing-booth wear.


Hilary Swank is drawn like a moth to the flame to Loehmann's Back-Room Dowdy.


Carey Mulligan's bird of paradise is rendered a tad unflattering by these divisive shoes.


And speaking of the avian... Shannen Doherty should really learn that 5 pounds of plumage around the waist is less than attractive.


Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe's gorgeous, regal gown is set off perfectly by the unexpected pop of the necklace. She must have known she was going to be front and center accepting an award!


AnnaLynne McCord has apparently been raiding Nancy Reagan's rag bag again.


Still don't know how I feel about the combination of giant shoulders and tiny hair that's all the crack. Do know that Julianne Moore looks lovely in peach.


Zachary Quinto's retro shantung is appropriately Spock-ish.


It's too bad Maria Bello's frock is so sack-like, because I am prepared to love anything sleeved and easy.


Kate Beckinsale will not let the red carpet faux-hawk die. Whatevs, it's working with this slick LBD.


Diane Kruger sports a gown that, if anyone wore it as a wedding dress, would be the cause of sadness and confusion to the future daughter who looked at the wedding albums. (Note: a black dress belonging to the groom's ex-girlfriend also has this effect on a young daughter. Not that I would know or anything.


Even by Zooey's usual cutie-pie, mod standards, this is both very cutie-pie and very mod.

January Jones' curious LBD borders on the "backwards" - but she looks amazing!


I'm not sure what trend in trousers Jane Lynch is demonstrating. In fact, I'm not sure it's a trend at all.


Jane Kaczmarek's palm beachy situation screams "luncheon." Take that as you will.


Maria Bello's white-suit-sandals combo is a tad "beach wedding" for my tastes, but one can't deny her insouciance.


I adore Shannyn Sossamon's Miss Mix-worthy openwork waist and skirt. And anyone who knows what I'm referring to, I officially call my sister.


Jamie Lee Curtis does simple, classic, sexy, as she does so well.


Silk charmeuse, as Wendy Davis demonstrates, is apparently the new LBD. Except that it's not basic. Or especially versatile. People just wear it constantly.


Gotta give Anne Hathaway this: when the girl's on, she's really on. Plus she can wear saffron, which is quite a trick.


I guess having said that, I need to give Sherry Lansing props for sporting an entire field of pumpkin. Well, points for...boldness, certainly. She said kindly.


Camryn Manheim's loose-fitting horizontals are not what anyone would call flattering, and are what some would call frumpy, but a natural red-carpet smile earns major points.


Christina Aguilera takes the basic out of "little black dress" even as she emphasizes the "little."


After a bizarre Emmy showing, Olivia Wilde goes safely demure.


AnnaLynne McCord rides the metallic train - and it's kinda disco-fab.


This retro-pretty day dress is an amazing look for Christina Applegate.


Seriously, what would a "Power of Women" event be without noted women's advocate Terrence Howard in a pair of clashing shoes?
