May 5th, 2009

Magnifique. Très bon.

Marion Cotillard gives me my first set of goosebumps of the night wearing a blush pink Christian Dior strapless gown, with an embellished criss cross detail. The dress is so buttery and luscious I’m melting.

Her hair is perfectly coiffed, make-up barely there, head to toe perfection, minus the rain that soaked her hem.

Early days, but I think I have my Best Dressed of the night.

Love dress, the shoes, the big bouffant hair and the attitude.

I was half expecting Anne Hathaway to turn up in a gown, but this cute violet Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 strapless number is cute, sassy, and totally unexpected.

Her look is completed with Pour La Victoire metallic Bethanie strappy platform sandals.

Wow, a Blake Lively look I like.

The Gossip Girl actress wore a one-sleeved chiffon Versace Fall 2009 teal gown, with a thigh high split, and gold strappy heels.

She maybe pushing the sexy envelope too far, but she’s working the hell out of this dress.

Ashely Olsen wore an ice white The Row gown, with a cowl back, which is oversized -as we would expect- but very elegant on her.

It’s a cold and rainy night in New York, so one can forgive Jessica Alba’s tights, because her strapless cobalt blue mini Jason Wu dress with an embellished bodice is quite exquisite.

Kate Beckinsale always brings the drama. She loves a big gown, and it doesn’t get much bigger than this Marchesa Fall 2009 gown.

What you may not see on the embroidered midnight blue ruffle tulle tank dress, is the crystal embellishments all over the skirt of the gown.

I don’t love Eva Mendes’ gown shimmering Calvin Klein gown, but I don’t hate it either.

Had this been the Oscars or the Golden Globes, I would have been bitterly disappointed, but as the campaign girl for a brand that produces minimalist clothes, we shouldn’t have expected too much glamour.

It doesn’t exceed expectations, and it doesn’t disappoint, but Eva sparkle is missing.

How does she do it?

How does Kate Moss arrive at this event wearing a turban, and still hit HOT?

Milliner Stephen Jones designed the metallic turban, which is not going to be to everyone’s liking, but I love it.

It truly was a risk that paid off.

The supermodel is wearing gold lamé Marc Jacobs asymmetrical dress, which shows off her stunning pins, with matching gold lame heel.

Matchy matchy never looked so good.

Bar Refaeli showed off those impossibly long legs, wearing an asymmetrical organza pleated strapless Marchesa dress, with embroidered detail on the bust.

Matching Louboutin’s complete the look.

Outstanding.

I’m so glad Diane Kruger didn’t wear this Chanel Spring 2009 Couture white mini dress with floral appliqué’s, as it was presented the runway.

I’m not so crazy about the black heels, but other than that she looks fantastic, giving the look a youthful, girlie quality.

As Uncle Karl is not there, her beau Joshua Jackson walked the red carpet with her.

  7. Rogue says:

    Diane: yes, yes, girly, youthful, frothy and all that, but why a short-skirted dress with pumps for the second year in a row?

    What a surprise: Ashley Olsen wears something that’s wide and white (love her new bob!), Eva Mendes something that’s tight and shiny, and Gisele looks cheap, like a local disco hostess!

    LOVE ASHLEY IN THAT CHRISTIAN LACROIX GOWN, SIMPLE BUT ELEGANT, ALSO LOOOOOVE HER NEW HAIR CUT–SOO CHIC!

    [Reply]

  24. Kris says:

    I don’t love Marion’s makeup but otherwise she looks fantastic! That’s such a gorgeous color and she looks comfortable and confident because she didn’t over do it and give in to the pressure of this event. and I love Galliano right behind her!

    Wow..Ashley looks so much better than the way she has looked in the past for this event. I’m not in love with the dress but she herself looks great.

    Cindy…that’s really tacky and the wrong kind of matchy matchy. Eeesh

    Eva Mendez has always bored me and she didn’t do anything more here.

    KATE MOSS FOR PRESIDENT. I love this woman, I hate turbans but she makes me love them. I like the makeup I just hate Jacobs on her arm. He’s the most overrated designer to date.

  25. Kris says:

    I forgot to mention that I’ve seen an exact type of look from Diane Kruger numerous times and I still can’t figure out ..what she actually does? She’s so dull I don’t even want to google her. She’s had a couple of great shows in the past, but this is so very deja vu.

    [Reply]

  26. Dorian Gray says:

    Who is the blonde woman behind Cyndi? Maybe Donatella??

    [Reply]

  27. SWANKY-D says:

    I just woke up and i am so glad to see that Kate Moss’ dress.
    I totally agree with you, she looks HOT and her turban is good :)

    but i must say that Ashley Olsen looked very beautiful tonight
    I love her white gown

    but i dont know why but i didn’t really wow by Marion Cottilard.
    I love her and sometimes her red carpet dresses. but this dress looked plain for me.
    its good but its not thrilling me

    CLAUDIA CHANGED HER HAIR!!

    Anne’s hair doesn’t look like a beehive to me, but she looks stunning.
