here.

Verdicts please.

All I have to say is Helena Bonham-Carter. Dear God what were you thinking?

January Jones, put your baps away.

Christina Hendricks, check.
Lara Spencer (who she?) check.

Otherwise they all look, dare I say it, a bit meh.

(though obv better than i would. Except H B-C).

right then...

Love Eva Longoria's - I would wear that..

Nicole Kidman looks totally washed out in that white.

Natalie Portman is pregnant, so I can allow her some allowance, altho the drape of the dress is nice, the flower is wrong wrong and far too big..maybe without the stem would be better??

Michelle Williams looks horrid.

Lea Michele's peach number reminds me of a hideous bridesmaid dress I was forced to wear...urgh..

Love Sarah Hylands bustier coffee number and Julianne Hough's black sheath with jewelled neck. Ann hathwaway looked stunning...bitch :)

Halle Berry looks like a La Senza advert..yuk, Tilda Swinton just looked plain scary...Helen Mirren looked lovely, Helena Bonham Carter looks like a freak show...but no change there then.

Ugly Bettys Vanessa Williams is trying WAY too hard on her camera pose - quite hilarious, Jennifer Love Hewitt's dress has a very odd top, the cut is awful doesn't sit right at all...??

and lastly, Glee's Amber Riley look fab!

midnightexpress · 17/01/2011 15:56

YY to Julianne Hough's black dress - v classy. The white and nude ones generally all look a bit washed out I think. I mean, it takes quite a lot for Scarlett Johanssen to look insipid.

Michelle Williams disappointing - she often looks fabulous.

Hmm Natalie Portman not sure - the dress material looks a bit too much like a bad 70s nightie to me. I wouldn't want to see her standing too closse to a naked flame in that.

For the record, I care not about fashion or slebs or schlepping up and down red carpets.

But did see CZJ in the paper this morning (peering over somebody else's shoulder on the bus).

Now I know nowt about clothes and whatnot, but she looked pretty. And vair happy.

notyummy · 17/01/2011 16:00

Agree on Anne Hathaway and Helen Mirren looking great.

Think Anne H was the best of the night overall.

Christina Ag a bit overstuffed fairy...different cut would be more flattering.

midnightexpress · 17/01/2011 16:03

Yes SoH, CZJ did look good I thought - she sometimes picks very frumpy-looking frocks. She has a lot to celebrate if MD has beaten his cancer I guess!

TrillianAstra · 17/01/2011 16:04

Helena Bonham Carter is funny - her shoes don't match.

CZJ appears to be wearing a carpet, but looks gorgeous anyway.

couldn't care less but this \link{http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12203861\picture} is my favourite in a long time

sluuuurrrppp

RipMacWinkle · 17/01/2011 19:04

Oh I love looking at all the dresses after an awards ceremony!

My favourites were Mila Kunis, Amy Adams and Claire Danes. However, my disclaimer is that I'm far from a fashion guru and I suspect my personal style is pretty conservative.

Don't think Claire Danes was on the DM link but is on here

DrNortherner · 17/01/2011 19:09

Love the colour of Scarlett Johansons and Sandra Bulloks frocks.

Jeex Michael Douglas looks like death in that picture.

Not loving the green dresses tbh. Nicole Kidman is in a style rut. Heidi Klum looks radiant.

Halle Berry - wow what a bod.

Kelly Osborne - sorry, all I see is too mnay tatoos.

My fave is Anne Hathaway, she looks beautiful. I love her.

StarlightPrincess · 17/01/2011 20:13

Heidi Klum- WTF? Just vile!

January Jones- Going for the Las Vegas showgirl look I see...

Angelina Jolie- Gorgeous- the dress is a stunning colour and she looks beautiful in it.

Tilda Swinton- Dreadful as usual. Please put some make up on woman, you look scary.

Christina Aguilera- Looks like her perfume bottle.

Scarlett Johansson- Old school Hollywood elegant.

Michelle Williams- Fugly!

Christina Hendricks- Gorgeous as usual!

McDreamy · 17/01/2011 20:19

Loved Eva Longoria but everyone else - meh!

HBC - Shock

Angelina Joile - yuk! Looked frumpy, she usually looks stunning!

cornslik · 17/01/2011 20:21

I liked Sandra Bullock's dress.

BitOfFun · 17/01/2011 20:37

Michelle Williams looks like she bought a badly fitted Boden dress.

Jennifer Love Hewitt looks too bridal.

And just when I thought nothing could beat some of those green dresses for peculiar ugliness, I clapped eyes on the trio who all look like Big Bird from Sesame Street.

FaffTastic · 17/01/2011 20:52

Christina Augulira looks awful (as usual)

Actually like Sandra Bullock in that dress but don't her hair like that

Not keen of the pic of Angelina's dress but saw her on the TV in it this morning and she looked much better in it then

Catherine Zeta Jones looks like she is wearing Astro-turf

Nicole Kidman has had far too much Botox and is starting to look like an alien

What was Michelle Williams thinking?? Dress does nothing for her unless its just the way she's standing (thought it was very Boden-esque too BoF)

Lea Michele's dress makes her look like a 1980s bridesmaid

Dress is not my cup of tea, but Ann Hathaway looks lovely in it

Tilda Swinton - I am lost for words (and not in a good way)

No comment on Helena Bonham Carter especially her mismatching shoes.

Jennifer Love Hewitt - another "what were you thinking??"

No dresses made me go Wow. There you go, Gok Wan eat your heart out.

teahouse · 17/01/2011 21:03

Didn't really like any of them; thank good ness I didn't get an invite - I'd have wiped the floor weth them LOL

JosieRosie · 17/01/2011 21:58

Loved CZJ's dress.

Christina Hendrick's is just so gorgeous and looked lovely but thought the neckline was too fussy

Loved Sandra Bullock's dress

Halle Berry would look smokin' in a bin bag

And I'm going to break with the theme of this thread and say that I LOVE Helena B-C's dress Grin not so keen on the mismatched shoes though

FellatioNelson · 17/01/2011 22:14

By far and away the best one was Eva Longoria's. Just perfect. Most of them were fairly lacklustre I thought. Heidi Klums' was grim, and as for Tilda Swinton, words fail me. Has she come out in her bath towel? She's a peculiar one at the best of times but that is just grim.

I adore Christina Hendricks but she got it wrong here - too fussy, makes her look huge and matronly and the dreadful colour clashes with her hair and is wrong for her gorgeous skin tone. If she wanted red she should have gone for a deep ruby/claret.

January Jones looks cheap and tarty.

Halle Berry - shocking.

Anne Hathaway's is beautiful

Can't remember and more - have to go back in!

QueeferSutherland · 17/01/2011 22:34

I loved all the green frocks.

Also Anne Hathaway and Eva Longoria.

The ladies in pale dresses generally looked bland.

FellatioNelson · 17/01/2011 22:37

Scarlett looks lovely, but the colour could have been a bit stronger. Sandra's is a similar but more pale shapeless version - she looks washed out and fed up. Poor Sandra. Sad

Helen Mirren looks divine, as ever.

Angelina's is weird. It looks better from the back but the front is really frumpy. It's the puckering around the waist I think.

CZJ - a slightly odd and depressing shade of green and strange textured chunky fabric. The dress itself is beautiful but it's a bit too bridal or 'period costume' for the occasion I think.

Quite like J-Lo's. Simple, and elegant.

Like the floaty coffee-coloured empire line number with the embellished/sparkly front bit - can't remember who she was though!

LOVE that very electic blue sheath dress with the bright green peacocky type bodice - stunning colours. Julia someone or other?

Actually if HBC had for once in her life been a bit less anti-establishment, (brushed her hair, worn matching shoes and ditched the silly glasses) I think she could have made that dress look great. Vivienne Westwood stuff is stunningly high couture, but she's made it look like a used christmas cracker!

FGM · 17/01/2011 22:38

CZJ's dress reminded me of breastfeeding and putting cabbage leaves down my bra to relieve tenderness.

FellatioNelson · 17/01/2011 22:39

I meant electric blue.

Nicole Kidman looks dreadful. She looks like she's wearing a giant surgical bandage.

Cyb · 17/01/2011 22:41

Anne Hathaway my favourite

But THE SWINTON is always good value for money

Cyb · 17/01/2011 22:42

Halle Berry loked like cheap tart

Yeah yeah you've got a great bod, yadda yadda

PortBlacksandEventually · 17/01/2011 22:43

I loved HBC's Westwood dress - it is gorgeous. In fact a close friend texted me this morning to say i bet you liked it..... The sunglasses are a bit twatty but there is a better pic of dress on the BBC News website.

All a bit meh except CZJ green ballgown - i liked that. Even if you are gorgeous it's hard to carry off salmon pink / beige / magnolia etc.
