Penelope Cruz, Uma Thurman, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz



Drew Barrymore, Beyonce Knowles, Gwyneth Paltrow

Kerry Washington, Celine Dion, Ali Larter, Ellen Pompeo


Dontella Versace did not have a runway show for her Atelier collection, instead we have Look Book images to drool over.

It is refreshing not to see too much bling on the dresses, as Donatella concentrated on details instead.

There was a bit of everything, shimmer, ruffles, strapless, bold colours, warm colours, and one shouldered gowns.

For fun I have listed below the pictures, names of celebrities I could see wearing each red carpet gown.

I am sure many of you will not agree with my choices, but feel free to comment on them.

You can view the whole collection here.

    Wow you really hit the nail on the head with your list. I would also say that the blue dress you said for Gwyenth would also work for Kate Winslet or Jennifer Garner.
    I do think that Ali L would wear something more like the red next to the blue one you mentioned, as I have a hard time seeing her in that neckline. She seems to prefer a more plunging look…

    Anisaa,

    You are so right that the blue dress would also work for Jennifer Garner. In fact I think it would work better on Garner than Paltrow, and yes I see it as a potential dress for Kate Winslet too.

    I did also think red for Ali Larter, then I remembered that she has worn red for the Emmys last year.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    WOW, can’t believe it’s Versace, their last few collections were pretty dissapointing, but it seems like they started 2008 with a BANG, first the Menswear show, which was pretty good, and now this, STUNNING.

    I can totally see many of these dresses hitting the red carpet.
    I LOVE the dress you opted for Drew Barrymore, but i hope someone else wears it.

    Jenna,

    I would say the one I picked for Penelope Cruz, but I would need to see the front and also the one I picked for Cameron Diaz.

    I love these dresses! I agree with all your choices except Angelina Jolie. I can see her as a more casual type of dresser so i would see her wearing the one you picked out for celine dion.I absoulutely love the cameron diaz dress it is GORGEOUS!!

    Angelina Jolie IS more of a simple, casual dresser but I can see her wearing that yellow dress if she got rid of the sleeve.

    I am thoroughly impressed by your choices, with each prediction I could completely envision the actresses in those gowns… except perhaps for Ali Larter? The ruffles seem a bit too busy for her athletic frame, I can more easily picture her in the red also. Instead, I could see Kate Winslet in the the blue – the neckline and colour seem more her taste.

    The pink (Drew B.) or the orange ( Cameron D.) ruffeled dresses would have looked stunning on Anne Hathaway or Penelope Cruz at the ‘09 Oscars. I loved Annes Armani Gown But I would of liked her in the orange versace more! I wasnt a fan of Penelopes vintage Balmain dress so i wanted to see her in the pink!
