Teri Hatcher in Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009
We have no doubt you're getting tired of hearing this from us, but there are certain colors that need to take a hiatus from the red carpet for a while. Namely, red, black, and white. Any pedants who want to point out that technically, two of those aren't even colors can zip it.
Having said that, it is a beautiful dress with beautiful draping. We only wish she had stuck with the wider belt.
Marisa Tomei in Elie Saab Spring 2009
See how refreshing it is when someone wears an interesting color? This dress is gorgeous, although the back is awfully fussy. Unfortunately, we're not convinced this is the right color for her.
Oh. We just figured out why so many starlets wear black and white. Because of snotty bitches like us saying "We're not convinced this is the right color for her."
And Marisa, honey? Fire whoever's been doing your hair and makeup lately.
Katrina Bowden in Christian Siriano Spring 2009
It's a cute dress, but it doesn't feel formal enough for the occasion.
Rosario Dawson in Dolce & Gabbana
Lorenzo thinks there's too much ruching on this dress and it looks too busy. Tom thinks she's got the body to pull it off. You decide. Either way, the hair and makeup look great.
January Jones in Andrew Gn Spring 2009
Points for wearing something different. Look, the whole reason to do red carpet is to get your picture taken and a dress like this ensures that she had a lot of pictures taken of her. Is it a pretty dress? We're not sure. It's eye-catching and different and that goes a long way with us. Perhaps a little too "Cleopatra meets Wonder Woman."
Marcia Cross in Carolina Herrera
Slap a mantilla on her head and send her off to the bullfights. Bleh. We no likey.
Evan Rachel Wood in Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009
What a gorgeous color on her. And we love the little eagle pin as adornment.
Laura Linney in Michael Kors
Kind of a boring dress but the color looks so much better on her than that yellow Elie Saab she wore last week to the Golden Globes.
We realize we sound a little obsessed with color, but as we said, the whole point to red carpet is to get your picture taken, so to us, color is as big a deal in a red carpet dress as fit or taste level.
Kate Winslet in Narciso Rodriguez
Katie wants her Oscar so bad she can taste it and she's been showing up on red carpets lately looking every inch the Oscar-winner. She looks gorgeous. Great color and it fits her like a glove. Hair and makeup are flawless.
Nicolette Sheridan in Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009
Bleh. Another "Wilma." We don't love it. It just doesn't look formal enough for the occasion. Too much of a "Meet me in the cabana after you're done cleaning the pool" vibe.
Christina Applegate in Emanuel Ungaro
Great color, but the whole effect is a little dowdy and matronly. A lot of that has to do with the hair, which isn't doing her a lot of favors.
Emily Blunt in Pamela Roland Spring 2009
Now, THAT is a well-fitted dress. She looks stunning.
