Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe Now THIS is how a star arrives! If you had her body (and legs), you'd pull this look off amazingly well too. Best dressed of the night!

: Rihanna in Tom Ford Who was the last person to arrive on the red carpet? Miss Riri herself. She transferred the crocodile motif from her “Where Have you Been” video to the red carpet….and looks amazing!

: Karolina Kurkova and Rachel Zoe

: Camille Belle in Ralph Lauren Stunning! Amazing! This dress is cut to perfection and the dark lip combo only serves to make it more vampy. Love!

: January Jones in Versace January is smiling on the red carpet! She rocks this bold dress in an amazing color!!

: Jessica Alba in Michael Kors Jessica is a golden goddess in this dress! Notice that the dark lip is a new summer red carpet trend. I’ll take it.

: Solange in Rachel Roy Solange looks amazing in this bright pop of color. I’m glad she didn’t go too eclectic, her hair did all the talking in this case!

: Sofia Vergara in Marchesa I love this pretty look on Sofia! The color looks amazing and like a delicious confection.

: Carey Mulligan in Prada This dress is so impossibly hard to wear but Carey looks amazing in it!

: Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe Stunning! Divine! Ravishing! How many more exclamations can I use to describe this dress??

: Gisele Bundchen in Givenchy Haute Couture Gisele is ever tall, ever bronze, ever lovely in black.

: Gwyneth Paltrow in Prada It looks like lilac is the color this spring. Gwyneth pairs her pale skin and blonde her with this great lilac color that’s amazing for her tone. The short/long hem also makes me smile.

: Ginnifer Goodwin in Monique Lhuillier I love this burnt orange color on Ginnifer. Although her hair is a bit flat for my taste (she has a round face!), this look is a stunner!

: Kate Bosworth in Prada Kate looks stunning in this Prada dress. It’s very sexy but still comfy.

: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry Prorsum Something tells me that this dress looks much better in person…and it still looks great on camera. Rosie is simply stunning!

: Amber Heard in Zac Posen Amber looks so classic in this dress, I love it! The bright lip with the pink dress is a risk that worked well. On a separate note….who is Amber Heard??

: Nina Debrov in Donna Karan I’m on the fence about whether I love or hate this dress but she stands so tall in it that I can’t help but love her confidence.

: Leighton Meester in Marchesa Again we find another celeb in a bright color and dark lip. Pat McGrath must be proud to see her influence on the red carpet!

: Donna Karan in Donna Karan Besides the weird armpit fat bulge that’s happening under her right arm, Donna looks amazing!

: Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana Scarlett looks stunning in this sequined confection. She’s finally let the girls come out to play! Now if only she’d get rid of that awful tattoo….

: Rooney Mara in Givenchy Rooney continues her dark/goth trend…and steps out quite nicely. The see-through lace skirt is a nice touch.

: Coco Rocha in vintage Givenchy Only a model could pull this look off! Coco is wearing one of Elizabeth Taylor’s outfits…and liz would be proud!

: Lea Michelle I don’t know, I’m not a fan of Lea’s overt attempts at sexuality. Just take it down a notch, you’ll look much better for it!

: Amy Adams Although this look is safe, you can’t go wrong with grecian white.

: Kristen Bell in Tommy Hilfiger Another nice orange surprise, like a glass of fresh juice!

: Kate Upton in Michael Kors You can take the girl out of the bikini…..

: Dianna Agron in Carolina Herrera Pretty…but what else is there?

: Lana del Rey in Joseph Altuzurra Lana lives up to her hipster goth glam vibe in this amazing silver sheath. I love the idea behind the look but the cape is a bit gloomy. Only Gwyneth can pull off a cape on the red carpet!

: Claire Danes in J. Mendel Whenever I see Claire Danes of late, I just want a lil extra from here, you know?

: Hillary Swank in Michael Kors I like the red dress but I find it a tad boring, non?

: Brooke Shields Kudos to Brooke for taking on the red carpet…even with a cane!

: Paula Patton in Vera Wang I like this color on Paula but the dress fabric makes it look a bit cheap.

: Emma Roberts in Escada This dress is much, much too old for her.

: Ashley Greene in Donna Karan This dress is incredibly flattering and makes her waist look teeny.

: Rosario Dawson in Calvin Klein A floor length black leather red carpet column dress? A risk that works!

: Jessica Pare in L’wren Scott Jessica finally got a chance to express her personal style outside of her Mad Men Don’s wife character…and it works!

: Amy Poehler in Fotini I saw this dress on the red carpet live stream and it looked much better than it photographs.

: Liv Tyler in Givenchy Just like her dress, Liv’s mood is quite dark in this frock. She could stand to brighten up.

: Lala Anthony in Zac Posen Can we please check out the body on Lala?? She looks amazing in this stunning royal blue color that perfectly highlights her décolletage.

: Katharine McPhee in Elie Saab This is a really great color on Katharine, it’s a bit light for the red carpet but I don’t mind that. Her makeup looks fresh and flawless.

: Renee Zellweger in Pucci Gasp! Renee strayed away from Carolina Herrera?? Her back is stunning, what a sight from behind!

: Anna Wintour in Prada Anna shines in white and fur (PETA must be piiiissed!). Is that a smile we spy? Sorry, but I have to do it: The Devil Wears Prada!

: Mary Kate Olsen in The Row You’re rich, dress like it.

: Heidi Klum in Escada Awww….Heidi isn’t really pulling out the stops on the red carpet anymore?

: Kristen Dunst in Rodarte A cross beween a librarian and Meryl Streep.

: MIA MIA is….MIA. Can’t nobody tell her nothin’.

: It’s Lady Mary Crawley from Downton Abbey! Looking like she just left the set *of* Downton Abbey. Personal style please?

: Shailene Woodley in Christopher Kane This girl never gets it right. She’s not even 20 years old yet but has had more red carpet faux pas than I can count. This looks like a kids classroom project.

: Rashida Jones in Tory Burch For some reason, everything Rashida Jones wears always looks dull and drooping. Am I the only one who thinks this??

: Elizabeth Banks in Mary Katrantzou So clearly, Elizabeth thought she was heading out to the Capitol when she donned this dress. How weird is this??

: Christina Ricci in Thakoon Panichgul This dress is way too much dress for Christina. She tried but it’s just not working.

: Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu Chloe doing Chloe…but I can’t say that I’m a fan.

: Lily Collins in Valentino I feel like Leighton Meester already tried this look on the red carpet…and failed at it.

: Florence Welch in Alexander McQueen Florence does what she does on the red carpet. You can’t say that she doesn’t stick to her own personal style!

: Dakota Fanning in Louis Vuitton Dakota looks like a lilac fairy in this dress. In some ways, I want her fashion sense to grow up but not the Lindsey Lohan type of growing up, you know?

: Cate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen I expected a bit more from Cate…this is a bit overworked and boring compared to what we’ve come to expect of Cate.

: Kristen Stewart in Balenciaga Le sigh…what is this mess??

: Tory Burch in Tory Burch This dress would have looked much better as a short cocktail dress.

: Emma Stone in Lanvin Something about this dress rubs me funny. It just doesn’t quite gel.

: Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney She went to bed as Cameron Diaz and woke up as Sharon Stone.

: Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney She went to bed as Cameron Diaz and woke up as Sharon Stone.

: Diane Kruger in Prada Well this is a departure for Diane…a gypsy folk look for the Met? Better luck next year.

: Jessica Biel in Prada How did Jessica lose all her hotness so quickly? Even if her career is dead, she could have had something to fall back on. No thanks.

: Sarah Jessica Parker in Valentino What is it with Jessica Parker lately? I think she’s losing her fashion edge as she settles into her 40s. Exploration is great but we want Carrie back!

: Elizabeth Banks So clearly, Elizabeth thought she was heading out to the Capitol when she donned this dress. How weird is this??

: Eva Mendes in Prada This dress is quite tame and sup-bar for what we’ve come to expect from Eva.

: Jessica Chastain in Louis Vuitton This looks like the leftovers from a Jane Eyre movie dress.

: Jamie King in Topshop I can’t quite figure out what it is that’s wrong with this dress…can you?

: Kristen Wiig in Prada Perfect for a summer picnic…not the Met red carpet.

: Rachel Zoe in Rachel Zoe Rachel is so slim! The dress is great and totally hippie apropos for her.

: Brooklyn Decker in Tory Burch Dull drab decker.

: Alicia Keys What is this?? A harem suit?? Not a fan.

: Rachel Zoe in Rachel Zoe Rachel is so slim! The dress is great and totally hippie apropos for her.

: Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello Sorry but this just looks sickly. Can we please take note of that jutting hip-bone?

: Joan Smalls in Balmain Legs for DAAAYYYS!

: Marc Jacobs and Milla Jovovich Is Marc Jacobs wearing a dress?!? Omg, he is!

: Chanel Iman in Tom Ford Chanel looks absolutely smoking in this Tom Ford dress! It’s daring and sexy and creative. The smoked out eye and bouffant are also amazing. Perfect!

: Mia Wasikovska in Prada Although this isn’t my personal style, I love Mia’s look with the sequin belt and collar. A great blend of the 50s and modern woman on the red carpet.
