Loads of horrors, the boobs falling out of too low neckline(?) ruins them. Like the colour of Resse Thingymabobs dress though.

Quite a high number of 'what were they thinking?' choices this year.

My children actually recoiled when Katie Holmes appeared and Solange looks like she is holding the dress up in front of her instead of wearing it.

I don't want to not like Posh but she really is a twit with all the posing malarkey and her poker face.

FoxyHarlow123 · 06/05/2014 18:34

Sweet cheeses, there are some absolute HORRORS on that link.

FoxyHarlow123 · 06/05/2014 18:34

Most of em look like they've been dead 6 months and dug up.

FoxyHarlow123 · 06/05/2014 18:36

Someone one is called Brie. Brie!!! Really?

Apatite1 · 06/05/2014 18:39

Beyoncé is channeling morticia and Kanye west looks like he's imagining what's under Kim's dress, Rihanna didn't have enough time for a hair do, Lupita finally got it wrong, Kirsten Stewart is wearing a feather duster, Florence welch an old bedspread I used to have, maggie gyllenhall some 1970s curtains, Donna Karen and Calvin Klein the worst plastic surgery ever, katie Holmes in the ugliest marchesa I've ever seen, lea Michele looks like a hooker, Nicole Ritchie proves you can be too thin, dicta von teese is in a dyson air filter and Zoe Saldana is in dual shower caps.

Phew.

Rosamund Pike - awful, awful dress.

I think Kylie Minogue looks lovely.

Also Jessica Alba is stunning.

Great pics, that all over flat inside a tent lighting isn't very flattering.

FoxyHarlow123 · 06/05/2014 18:42

Brilliant!! I thought there were no words but you've just managed the perfect ones!

MarshaBrady · 06/05/2014 18:43

Diane Kruger and JJ look good.

FoxyHarlow123 · 06/05/2014 18:43

Kylie does indeed look lovely but the cheek fillers are squashing her eyes.

MarshaBrady · 06/05/2014 18:43

Bradley Cooper?!

MarshaBrady · 06/05/2014 18:45

Mad Men Megan looks fabulous.

Feel a bit bad saying this, as I generally like her, but Chloe S doesn't look too good.

plus2new · 06/05/2014 18:45

Yes, agree about Diane Kruger.

plus2new · 06/05/2014 18:47

What do you think about Karolina Kurkova? I keep coming back to it and I think I love it.

OP posts:
plus2new · 06/05/2014 18:50

I also like Kristen Wiigs outfit.

Agree that Lupita has finally made a mistake. She always looks so great too. Katie Holmes looks like some sort of Disney princess, just awful.

I am also surprised at how many people online are saying how wonderful Kim Karsdashian looks. I think she looks like a tramp.

Beyonces head thing is just awful. And Anna Wintour doesn't look great either?
Amber Heard looks lovely, as does Taylor Swift. I really love SJPs dress even though it is totally ott.

Also love Charlize Therons dress, but not the cape. Karlie Kloss and Sarah Silverman both look stunning.

LemonBreeland · 06/05/2014 18:55

I do quite like Karolina Kurkovas dress, I think the flowery pattern is what I don't like.

Apatite1 · 06/05/2014 18:55

I like the concept of lupita's dress, the headband is great and so is that shade of green on her skin tone. But feathers on a fishing net? Really??

MikeLitoris · 06/05/2014 18:56

Can I please be Blake Lively when I grow up? Even better if I can have Ryan Reynolds

Love all the Stella McCartney outfits. Vicki B looks good too.

I'm surprised by how lovely the top shop dresses are.

nulgirl · 06/05/2014 19:16

Interesting mike. I thought blakes's dress was really unflattering on her tummy even though she is gorgeous.

Did anyone else think that Stella McCartney looked dreadful? The tight Croydon facelift hairdo made her neck look wrinkly, the jumpsuit was hideous and those shoes were vile.

I see no designer has been credited with Rosamund Pike's monstrosity. Do you think they were too ashamed?

Oh and did you see the size of Vera Wang? That is seriously ill looking. She makes Nicole Richie look positively chubby.
