Keep hitting the F5 on your keyboard from time to time as I will be updating this post throughout the night. Best Dressed are here.

Rachel Weisz

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

It pains me to put Rachel Weisz in here, but she got it all wrong. Her lilac strapless Vera Wang tulle gown totally washed her out, the make-up was waaaay too dark (OMG!@ berry lips) and why, oh why, is that yellow fabric peeking out from under the hem? Sorry, Rachel, you can do so much better.

Kate Beckinsale

Rating: ★½☆☆☆

I’ve had enough with Kate Beckinsale. Her Marchesa Fall 2009 navy tulle gown was, as you would expect from Kate, over the top and unnecessary. I have never liked this dress in the first place, but seeing it on Kate makes it even worse because she ALWAYS plays it safe and never moves out of her comfort zone.

Rihanna

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Rihanna, please stop trying so hard. Don’t get me wrong, I love the runway look, but Rihanna makes it look so desperate for attention and so silly I can’t stand it.

I also find it always were amusing when at prestigious events such as the Costume Institute Gala where women are expected to wear beautiful, feminine princess dresses there are always 1 or 2 witty female individuals who opt out of this dress code. These women think they will come off so edgy and anti-establishment when they wear something super masculine like a suit or a tuxedo for example. GENIUS, girl! I bet no one else EVER had the same idea.

Leighton Meester

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Imagine Leighton Meester‘s outfit without the leggings and you have a Best Dressed candidate. Leighton’s head-to-toe Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 look is a perfect example when too much becomes too bad. Such a shame!

Anne Hathaway

Rating: ★★½☆☆

Anne Hathaway channelled 60s Jackie O chic and me no likey. I love Anne just as anybody else, but this eggplant Marc Jacobs bubbly dress does absolutely nothing for her. Not digging the hair and shoes as well.

Emma Roberts

Rating: ★★½☆☆

I know a lot of you will not agree with me for putting Emma Roberts on the Worst Dressed list, but let me try to get my point across. I absolutely ADORE this red bubble-shaped Atelier Versace Spring 2009 mini dress. In fact it’s one of my favorite from that collection. But you can tell from a mile away that this dress was the wrong choice for Emma. It’s a dress for a SUPERMODEL! And even then I think it would be quite tricky to pull it off because of the shape. Emma looks weird and unsure of herself, the dress owns her. Not good.

Why did Donatella give it away for Emma? I mean, come on! I would have LOVED to see it on Gisele, Linda or Naomi. They would have done this dress justice.

Costume Institute Gala 2009 – Best Dressed

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! ♥

Liv Tyler

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

Mary-Kate Olsen wearing a grey Christian Lacroix Fall 2007 Couture tiered lace gown

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.

Diane Kruger

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.
