Charlize Theron was the belle of this ball, arriving in a black Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture strapless dress with a sequined dripping detail effect on her sheer skirt.

Her hair was sleek straight, as she carried a black clutch and wore gold studded strappy sandals.

Jennifer Morrison continues her love affair with the Valli collection, this time wearing a black strapless Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 dress with a black and white poufy skirt.

The actress wore her hair back in loose waves and completed her look with black strappy sandals.

I loved this dress better on the runway, as the skirt had more volume.

I got really excited when I saw Blake Lively’s name on the picture agencies list.

When I clicked her name my face literally dropped when I saw what she was wearing an uncharacteristic Vena Cava Fall 2007 maxi.

I am speechless. SPEECH-LESS.

Juliette Lewis arrived wearing a silver sequined 3.1 Phillip Lim jumpsuit, which despite being a summer favourite are still very hot this Fall.

Maria Sharapova is delightfully elegantly chic in her chocolate mini Richard Chai Resort 2009 dress.

I love Tory Burch for 2 reasons: firstly, she’s never predictable on the red carpet and secondly, she’s not afraid to wear designs that are not her own.

The designer stepped onto the red carpet wearing a bold chartreuse and black velvet YSL Fall 2008 dress with a grey clutch and black strappy sandals.

Coco Rocha adopts a gypsy/ethic vibe wearing a gold headscarf with a black Gucci Resort 2009 dress with floral details.

I love this look.  It’s very different for the red carpet, but she makes it work.

This is not a look we are familiar with seeing on Chanel Iman, but the baby faced model pulls off the masculine look with great style and panache.

The black stole is a perfect added touch to her grey suit from the Daughters by Obedient Sons Fall 2008 collection.

Eva Amurri was the first actress to introduce me to the designs of Chris Benz, and she continues to stay faithful to the designer wearing a chartreuse floral Chris Benz Spring 2009 dress with an asymmetrical hem.

She matched her clutch and strappy sandals to her stand-out dress.

Well, what can you say about Agyness Deyn’s rather unique style that has not been said already?

It’s great that she likes to stand out, but for me she usually looks very comical.

This is more a stand-out look with the Mary Poppins hat and her red platform heels by Alejandro Ingelmo.

Anna Wintour loves plenty of colour and it shows here with her very colourful top, but I am not so crazy about her accompanying white skirt.

Both are from the Marni Spring 2009 collection.

Bee Schaffer looks stunning as always, in a very understated way.  She wore a strapless Thakoon Spring 2009 ivory dress, with black bands going around it.

She matches her dress with bronze Christian Louboutin heels.

Erin Fetherson is of course showing off one of her floral maxi designs from her Fall 2008 collection.

Diane von Furstenberg adopts the flapper look wearing a self designed Fall 2008 feathered hem black sequined dress, with silver embellishments.

    Charlize Theron, as usual, looked gorgeous! Just perfect.

    I thought Jennifer Morrison’s dress looked cute.

    I know how you feel about Blake Lively. I don’t understand her fashion sense. I was hoping she’d wow me. Where was Leighton Meester? I was disappointed when I didn’t see her name. She might have done a better job.

    Tory’s just gorgeous but I’m not sure about the dress. Love her earrings though.

    Loved Diane von Furstenberg’s dress, Maria Sharpova’s shoes, and Ben Schaffer looks pretty.

    WOW for Charlize, Maria Sharapova, Chanel and Diane von Furstenberg! Love their looks!
    Not so wow for Anna Wintour..don’t like her look at all which doesnt happen often. Another surprise is that strangely i dont find Agyness’ look offensive and I also like Juliette’s jumpsuit.

    I like that dress on Jennifer, nice choice. But I agree with your comment volume-wise. I loved that collection, and the first thing I thought about it was that I already hate how many celebrities will modify those dresses to have less volume than they had on the runway.

    To Blake it’s all about her (fake) boobs these days, and nothing about the clothes. What happened? :/ And Coco looks pregnant in that dress. Weird.

    I’m loving Bee’s look. She’s got a great style. Btw, Anna’s wearing Marni Spring 2009. I always love Marni and I love that collection, but I agree about that white skirt looking weird on her.

    I think Chanel looked amazing. Not every 18 year old can carry that look off.

    Charlize looks amazing. Dior Couture Fall 2008 was the most beautiful show I’ve seen, I love every single look.

    Diane von Furstenberg also looks amazing. She shows that looking great is nog an age thing, she always delivers.

    Once again, so much black. What’s going on? Is it the world economics crisis?

    charlize is forever beautiful.

    i actually quite like agyness’ style, she doesnt take herself too seriously which i like, although sometimes she does look like she just went a charity shop for her clothes.

    but DAMN DvF is looking amazing, i adore her dress. she looks gorgeous/

    Blake Lively’s (hideous) dress is from Vena Cava f/w 2007 collection.

    thanks Terry. I was still hoping it was just a figment of my imagination.

    It actually is not that bad on the runway.

    I LOVE Eva Amurri’s dress. I LOVE it, and this coming from someone who hates yellow. It’s gorgeous.

    I also loved Coco and Chanel Iman. These three are by far the best dressed there and the only ones who took a risk.

    Jennifer’s shoes are too heavy for the dress, I wish she had tried something more delicate.
