See, once again, I’ve guessed wrong, because I love Amanda H’s use of black opaque tights (& what I think are black booties?) with the sequins. I love how this season we can wear luxurious items day OR night, and dress them up or down. I feel that dress would be less successful with clear stockings & sandals, which is so last year.

Black opaque gives it a modern edge. In my opinion! ; )

I couldn’t agree with you more on your Donatella comment. There are ways to show off our bodies as we age with dignity and Donatella does not do that. As fab as she is I can’t see anything else but tackiness when I see her on the red carpet.

I agree with u. I Love Versace designs but I expected them to be worn so much better (however Donatella rocks!)

My favourite surprised me: Lisa Edelstein, who I’ve never ‘got it’ about her beauty. Maybe it’s just her pose in that particular shot, maybe her natural part is just a coincidence, but she’s got the asymmetry down just right.

& I don’t do red, but I won’t let that prejudice stop me from applauding Lake Bell’s look: it’s perfect.

Also LOVE Jennifer Hudson looking so voluptuous and glowing in baby ballerina pink, such a flattering colour for her skin tones.

By contrast, of course it’s a shame that Lindsey chose such a beautiful pink coat which would have looked stunning on pale skin if she just happened to be wearing her hair black or dark chocolate, and it would have helped to have the coat buttoned, as per the catwalk shot.

re: Donatella. My eye went straight to her right breast, and the spillage effect, and her arms… if you compare it to Jennifer’s youthful, post baby cleavage.. it’s not fair, I know, but there are ways to show off our bodies as we age, I feel, but still, ideally, with dignity. And I agree: bottle blonde is looking SO 20th Century!

My third choice is the other end of the body spectrum from Jennifer, but I do love Chanel Iman in that dress: it’s so simple and right with those shoes, almost like she’s wearing a simple day dress in a sunny street market. I prefer it on her to Isabeli, but I always seem to be off the mark from the general consensus.

Which is why I love this game! Thanks FC, have a lovely day! xx

I LOVE Donatella’s gown and how she “fixed it” but I want to see it on someone else.

-Shakira has the best gown but unfortunately her hair ruins it, if it would of been draker or completely pulled back it would of been a perfect 10, also for her height, it’s best to move the slit to the side.

-Lake Bell, love it from the face down, she fills it out nicely but she looks boring in this amazing gown.

-Taylor Momsen, great gown just not on her, her extensions and make up ruin the vibe of the gown.

-Mischa Barton, Great color, just change the design of the top of gown to flatter her.

-Lisa, nice gown, that’s it.

-Chanel, she needs more curves for that dress.

-Lindsay, nice dress, but someone get this girl some help!!!

-Jennifer Hudson, pretty gown and she had to potential to be a perfect 10 just style her hair in a pretty updo and remove some of eye shadow, it’s to much.

-Taylor’s 2nd look was ok, you hit it right on the nail, the stockings are a disaster for someone as skinny as her, she needs some sex appeal to pull it off.

To tell you the truth, there were some AMAZING gowns here, but no one did them justice.
