Total stress…keep hitting the F5 on your keyboard from time to time as I will be updating this post throughout the night. Worst Dressed are here.

Kate Bosworth

Rating: ★★★★★

PERFECTION! Kate Bosworth did not disappoint. The beautiful actress looked SPECTACULAR in a black Stella McCartney Fall 2009 floor-length dress. The gown had a delicate lace yoke which cut very low at the back. Sophisticated sexiness. Loved the Old Hollywood glamour styling as well! ♥

Rating: ★★★★½

Liv Tyler strut the red carpet wearing a gorgeous blue sparkling Stella McCartney v-neck dress. Glamour never looked better!

Mary-Kate Olsen

Rating: ★★★★☆

I feel like a hypocrite for putting Mary-Kate Olsen here because when I first saw her in her grey Christian Lacroix Fall 2007 tiered gown I kind of hated it, but after seeing some HQ shots I must say it really has grown on me. I’m not even remotely an Olsen fan, but MK owned this dress. It was bold and exquisite and she had the attitude to pull it off.

Ashley Olsen

Rating: ★★★★☆

Ashley Olsen‘s The Row white column gown may have looked simple from the front, but it was a spectacular view from behind. Ashley worked the hell out of this backless dress. She looked elegant, beautiful and sexy.

Rare to see both Olsen twins making it on a Best Dressed list together, so I’m happy both of them could shine in their very own designs.

Bee Schaffer

Rating: ★★★★☆

Bee Schaffer brought the va va voom to THE MET. The daughter of Anna Wintour wore a sexy navy Nina Ricci Fall 2009 corseted dress which had a train of semi-sheer layers. She looked great and I liked how she opted for something totally different than her last year’s dress which was also Nina Ricci, but otherwise completely different.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Diane Kruger can do no wrong! I love her in her white embroidered Chanel Couture embroidered mini dress. She certainly knows how to bring her A-game. Nothing we haven’t already seen on Diane though.

Anna Wintour wearing a modified Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 top and skirt ensemble

Rating: ★★½☆☆

For the preview of tonight’s Costume Institute Gala, Anna Wintour was wearing a modified top & skirt ensemble from Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2009 collection. Anna’s outfit consisted of a chartreuse paisley printed top and a Monet inspired skirt which had been modified from the runway version.

I would have loved to see Anna rock the runway version, but as always Anna stays true to her usual conservative attire. And oh yes, the black suede boots have to go!

Taraji P. Henson and Kiely Williams wearing the same charcoal Hervé Léger Spring 2009 foil bandage dress

Back in February, Taraji P. Henson attended Russell Simmons Salute to Grammy Award Nominees Celebration wearing a gunmetal Hervé Léger foil-print dress from the Spring 2009 collection which she paired with black Giuseppe Zanotti Cut-Out Bootiesendless ($875) and a purple clutch.

At the Rally for Kids with Cancer Celebrity Draft Party on May 1, 2009, Kiely Williams opted for the same body-con Hervé Léger bandage dress which she accessorized with taupe Fendi satin bow pumps.

I LOVE Taraji’s Giuseppe Zanotti booties, but I really think they weren’t a good choice for the Hervé Léger dress. Kiely’s Fendi pumps looked so much better and the dress suits Kiely’s bodyshape more, so win for Kiely.

Who wore Hervé Léger better?

Zoe Saldana

Rating: ★★★★½

I’m in love. Zoe Saldana, you officially have a spot in my fashion-loving heart now! For the LA premiere, Zoe once again rocked it in a black sequinned Emilio Pucci Fall 2009 mini dress which had silver helices running across the dress. And once again Zoe opted for lustworthy statement heels – this time they were from Brian Atwood’s Fall 2009 collection.

Rating: ★★★½☆

Leighton Meester strut the red carpet in a dangerously short grey YSL Spring 2009 mini dress which had a zipper on the front and bow details on the back. Leighton completed her look with enviable YSL Spring 2009 cage bootiesicon.

Michelle Monaghan

Rating: ★★★★☆

Michelle Monaghan stood out in a hot pink Versace Fall 2009 dress which she paired with a glitzy clutch and black sandals. I love this look on Michelle (minus the shoes), she is always very consistent on the red carpet.

Amanda Bynes

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

Amanda Bynes continues to bore me to death with her bland fashion choices. Yet another pink Hervé Léger dress? Are you serious, Amanda? That girl lives and dies by the rule of “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.“.

Sophia Bush

Rating: ★★★★☆

The always fresh-faced Sophia Bush was also among the ladies who opted for Hervé Léger, but unlike on Amanda Bynes I really liked the zebra-striped strapless dress on her. Black strappy sandals completed Sophia’s look.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Kristin Cavallari was the third being decked out in Hervé Léger. Kristin wore a Spring 2009 design ($1.590) with cute Christian Louboutin cork peep-toes which had a hot pink platform and heel.

Heidi Klum

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Heidi Klum concealed her growing baby bump with a black Jasmine Di Milo fringed dress which she wore with black patent Louboutins. Let’s hope Heidi won’t tone down too much because of her pregnancy.

Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere wearing a black top with cut-outs and a black high-waisted pencil skirt with nude Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Hayden Panettiere arrived on the red carpet wearing an all-black ensemble consisting of a black top which had sexy cut-outs on the side and a matching black high-waisted pencil skirt. Hayden thankfully added a dash of color with her pale pink Louboutin peep-toes.

Didn’t know she got inked? Is she even old enough to have a tattoo?
