Kyra Sedgwick‘s tea rose L’Wren Scott dress wasn’t working at all for the actress. The embellishments and the extra draped fabric on the shoulder cheapened the dress in my opinion and made Kyra look like a third class beauty pagent contestant. Me no likey.

Chandra Wilson wore a black strapless taffeta gown by Pamella Roland. The boring color, the enormous, tacky floral print and the strange bunny ear-shaped bodice were what brought Chandra here on this list.

At first glance you may be surprised to see Sarah Silverman on this list as the cobalt blue color of her dress looks stunning against her pale skin. But upon closer inspection you’ll realize how the gown makes Sarah look extra wide by adding inches of fabric to her hips. Not flattering at all.

I could’ve lived with Padma Lakshmi‘s eggplant dress if it wasn’t for that hideous red floral detail on her hips. What was she thinking?

Toni Collette is a great actress, but she has yet to learn a lot in the style department. Her barbie pink Monique Lhuillier Resort 2010 gown was too sickeningly sweet for me. The dress may have worked on her with either just the color OR all the frills. Both together make Toni look like a prom queen gone overboard.

Mary-Louise Parker wouldn’t look so bad if it wasn’t for the ginormous, absolutely unneccessary bow on the hips.

Sarah Silverman

Rating:

Sarah Silverman was by far the worst dressed on the red carpet. The funny woman tried to pull off a joke by pairing a black prom-like dress with red Converse Chucks and a pair of tennis socks. Was that supposed to be funny? I mean I do get that she tried to make fun of the red carpet frenzy here, but the joke backfired instead making Sarah herself be the joke. She probably won’t be too bothered about it though and will laugh it away like a good comedian should.

Kristen Bell

Rating:

Kristen Bell is another one who got it all wrong with her outfit. Did she really think a shapeless creased silver tube dress would make her look good? Kristen normally puts a lot of effort in her red carpet outfits, so I suppose she missed the date of the Critics’ Choice Awards, got panicked and snapped the next best thing out of the laundry.

I give her half a star fo the grey patent stilettos and another half for the cute statement necklace. These are the best things about her attire.

UPDATE: I cannot believe this shapeless dress is a piece from the Stella McCartney Spring 2009 collection. But it still looks a thousand times better on the model.

Marisa Tomei

Rating:

Marisa Tomei also had a hard time pulling off this black Giambattista Valli Fall 2006 dress. The dress is gorgeous as it was presented on the runway, but it should’ve been adjusted to fit Tomei’s tiny frame (especially shortened because it looks so unflattering at this length). A typical case of dress domination.

Penélope Cruz

Rating:

Penélope Cruz is normally ones of my red carpet faves. Not that she is a big fashion risk taker, but she usually wears something beautiful and elegant that makes her stand out from the crowd (think Oscars 2007).

Unfortunately this was not the case here when Penélope chose to walk the red carpet in a midnight blue strapless Yves Saint Laurent gown. Not that it’s an ugly dress, but it looks simply plain and boring on Penélope who didn’t seem too fond of her dress choice as well. Let’s hope she’s saved the best for the big occassions.

I do envy Penélope’s YSL clutch though.
