Amy Adams is on a red carpet roll this week. Premiere after premiere she sports one gorgeous dress after another. For the New York premiere Amy chose an asymmetrical pansy print gown from Carolina Herrera’s Resort 2010 collection. Doesn’t she look stunning? Amy would’ve scored a Red Carpet Gold Star for this red carpet look if it wasn’t for the garish pansy print which I find a bit much.

I know Hilary Rhoda is a supermodel and hence supposed to look fantastic in beautiful dresses, but I can’t help but be in awe upon seeing her in this white Carolina Herrera Spring 2009 gown which she wore to the 69th Annual American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala in New York 2 days ago.

The exquisite dress had ruffles cascading down the front and black embroideries on the waist and on the straps. No need to add any more bling when you have such a gorgeous face as Hilary! Envious? Me? NEVER!

Paula Abdul

Rating:

Paula Abdul got it oh-so-wrong. The red ruffle madness she mistook for a dress could have easily passed off as an inflatable life vest. The hair and forced smile did some collateral damage, too.

Lisa Rinna

Rating:

Lisa Rinna didn’t do much better by overexposing herself and flashing her underwear due to the thigh high slit on her dress. Classy!

Samantha Harris

Rating:

It seems red is either a real fashion hit or a massive fashion failure. We’ve had some amazing ladies in red, but Samantha Harris was not among them. Her dress wasn’t too bad… at least for a knockoff which was a replica of Katherine Heigl‘s Escada gown from last year’s Oscars.

Nicolette Sheridan

Rating:

It was only once that Nicolette Sheridan stunned me by what she wore on the red carpet and that was her gorgeous purple Angel Sanchez dress from the Emmys last year. Ever since I have seen her falling backwards again and this Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009 dress fits perfectly in. Apart from the color, I’m really not into it and didn’t think this was even considered to be a red carpet choice (it’s kind of more like a summer dress for me).

Eva Longoria

Rating:

Bridesmaid alarm on the red carpet! Eva Longoria strut the red carpet in a peach Jenny Packham Spring 2009 gown which I found horrible. It was too peachy, had too many ruffles on the peplum and I wasn’t into Eva’s grandma hair as well. I think I’m going to have nightmares because of this color!

America Ferrera

Rating:

I miss seeing America Ferrera in something other than black or what I call “blah“-colors. Anyone remember her amazing blue Marchesa gown from the NAACP Awards 2008? She looked spectacular back then. Nowadays, her red carpet choices seem to be muted in color just like this taupe Vera Wang strapless dress which totally washed her out.

Is it me or has America lost weight recently?

Marcia Cross

Rating:

I hate to put Marcia Cross on the “Worst Dressed“-list, but that midnight blue Carolina Herrera gown she was wearing really wasn’t doing anything for her. Plus, I hate those geometric shaped black embellishments on the dress. Other than that, Marcia looked flawless as always, very elegant and feminine.

Freida Pinto

Newcomer Freida Pinto was divine in her lavender Marchesa gown. Her look was completed with a Roger Vivier box clutch and Martin Katz jewelry.

Teri Hatcher

Rating:

Teri Hatcher brought the drama on the red carpet with her white asymmetrical gown from the Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009 collection. She was confident enough to pull it off, but I can’t help feeling that she’s drowning in that dress. I wish someone curvier had worn it.

Pre-Fall 2009 is upon us and we have all the designer’s best pieces collected below. Enjoy our favorite pieces.

My favorite collections of the first part are:

• Chanel Paris-Moscow – So Russian, so Coco, so luxurious! LOVE it!
• Donna Karan – I adore the origami pleating and folding, so FIERCE!
• Roberto Cavalli – Italian Chic at its best! So SEDUCING!
• J.Mendel – Just looking at the collection makes me feel instantly glamourous & luxe. MAGNIFIQUE!
• Burberry Prorsum – Nothing new, but every piece of the collection is so EXQUISITE!
• Oscar De La Renta – ELEGANT & FEMININE as always!

The collections I liked least were Calvin Klein (too much minimalism going on, everything looks bland) and Zac Posen (just not my kind of cuts & colors).

Other collections including Narciso Rodriguez and Vera Wang also fell flat for me.
