Malin Akerman showed off a new red hair colour on the red carpet for the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival “Bang Bang Club” Premiere in New York City last night.

The formerly blonde Swedish actress wore a J. Mendel asymmetrical leather dress.

Her cap sleeve dress with a draped skirt was paired with sand Christian Louboutin ‘Louv’ sandals, a gold clutch and Cartier jewels.

I really like Malin’s dress, but I’m not so excited about her shoes. They seem a bit tame for a hot leather dress.

I can’t wait to see her with her hair down so we can get a look at the rich red colour.

Karl Lagerfeld and Rachel Bilson hit the red carpet to introduce their series of short films inspired by Magnum Ice Cream during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City yesterday.

Rachel wore a Chanel Spring 2010 Couture dress. We haven’t seen many looks from this collection worn on the red carpet.

Her pink silk embroidered strapless dress was paired with Christian Louboutin black patent Pigalle pumps and a Chanel clutch in the shape of a seashell.

Rachel let her dress do all the talking as her look was kept simple.

She didn’t wear any jewelry, her make-up was kept neutral and her look was complete with chic updo with a few pieces framing her face.

This is a good look, but I do find myself mentally running an iron over her skirt.

Thandie Newton wore this sophisticated Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring 2011 tailored grey suit whilst out promoting her movie “For Colored Girls” back in October last year.

Managing to score the outfit just weeks after it walked the runway at London Fashion Week, Thandie looks impossibly chic, adding red studded Stella McCartney heels and a brown suede Miu Miu tote.

Her makeup is flawless and she is simply glowing. I love how the suit fits her so perfectly and that her accessories add some oomph to the grey.

Robin Wright recently wore the same suit to the Washington DC Premiere of her movie “The Conspirator” and what a contrast.

The jacket is very ill-fitting and the pants don’t seem to taper as well on her as they did on Thandie. Paired with nothing but basic black pointed heels, Robin’s look is extremely lack-lustre. I also find the outfit to be a bit of an odd choice for a red carpet premiere.

For me, there’s no question about who the winner is here. Thandie gets it spot on with a better fit, fresh makeup, a chic hairdo and eye-catching accessories. Robin, on the other hand, failed to hit the mark. It’s extremely hard to see past such a poor fit and it doesn’t help that she made zero attempts to jazz up her look with great accessories.

The adorable Zoe Saldana attended the Coach Benefit for the Children’s Defense Fund at Bad Robot in Santa Monica, California last night.

She looked fabulously chic wearing a multi-coloured short sleeve Isabel Marant georgette Navajo print dress with a tiered skirt from the Fall 2011 collection.

Her flirty dress was paired with Alexander McQueen ankle strap patent heels, a snake-skin Coach and Kara Ackerman Designs earrings.

A chic updo and deep red lip shade completed her look.

Flawless as always, even those I do wish she’d opted for sexy strappy sandals.

The 2011 Tribeca Film Festival kick off last night in New York City with the opening night premiere of “The Union.”

Anna Kendrick, who is serving as a juror at the festival, walked the red carpet wearing a Vivienne Westwood Red Label floral dress.

The trademark Westwood bustier dress was let down with blah hair and neutral (if any) make-up.

I wished she’d put hair up, put on some lippie and given us some attitude.

I love this floral print dress, but Anna breathes no life into it.

Nude peep-toes completed her look.
