Aside from the fact there were a million and one tee-vee actresses trying to glam it up in safe sparkly numbers, there were a handful of standouts on this year's red carpet.
 |
| Jessica Biel (Prada) and Justin Timberlake |
I love Jess Biel's Prada, because it is so...Prada. From the cut and color to the all over embellishments it is perfect for a night celebrating Prada (and Justin's not bad too).
The grand doyenne, Anna Wintour's lobster embellished frock is totally on point. Its Prada's nod to Schiaparelli, who designed a
crustacean clad look for the Dutchess of Windsor in 1937.

| Bee Schaffer, Erdem |
Anna's daughter Bee, looks lovely as always in Erdem.
 |
| Carey Mulligan, Prada |
Carey Mulligan was co-chair of the evening, but it might have been better to split the difference with the paillettes and keep it only on top or on the bottom.
 |
| Chloe Sevigney, Prada |
Chloe's dress is a great reminder of how Prada's designs can push the envelope and her dress has a Paco Rabanne 1960's influence to it.
 |
| Karolina Kurkova, Rachel Zoe Collection |
Karolina's look is a little too severe and the turban baffles me but this is a major fashion moment so why not go big or go home ( or just leave your turban at home).
 |
| Lana Del Ray |
Both Lana and Bianca both opted for capes...an unexpected trend...
 |
| Bianca Brandolini D'Adda |
until you see Linda Fargo of Bergdorf Goodman in classic Schiaparelli, which reminds us where it all started.

| Linda Fargo, Schiaparelli |
Mary Kate looks very Dark Shadows in a good way.
 |
| Mary Kate Olsen, The Row |
Kate always rocks it at the Met Ball with a head to toe winning look (she always nails it with her hair).
 |
| Kate Bosworth, Prada |
LOVE Diane Krugers feathers and although I usually hate this shade of purple it is bold and works on the red carpet. Diane's dress also proved you can be comfortable (and able to walk) in feathers!
 |
| Diane Kruger, Prada |
Gwyneth (props to Tracey Anderson) Paltrow also rocked a dress that I consider to be a classic Prada silhouette. The pale hue and side embellishments were similar (although different) to Jess Biel's Prada too.
 |
| Gwyneth Paltrow, Prada |
Rachel Zoe's fringe-y column is pretty and unexpected, but a little more tailoring would prevent it from drowning her triple zero frame.

 |
| Eva Mendes, Prada |
Both Eva and Mila rocked embellished Prada looks, which fit the evening and still reflected their personal style.
 |
| Mila Jovovich, Prada |
Love Emma Stone's Lanvin look, it has a very Miu Miu shape to it. Her hair, not so much it looks like a bad prom do' piled on her head like that.
 |
| Emma Stone, Lanvin |
Tory Burch looks "lobster-ish" a la Anna Wintour but her dress certainly makes a louder statement with its bold print and color. (PS who knew Tory "does" evening wear?)

Coco Rocha wore a Givenchy get up that once belong to Elizabeth Taylor.

| Coco Rocha, vintage Givenchy |
Eek, So scary Elizabeth Banks! Your face looks equally petrified.

What do you think? Who nails it in your book?
