As gorgeous as Scarlett Johansson looked on the red carpet for ‘The Avengers’ in Hollywood, California last night, Cobie Smulders did one better.
The actress upstaged her co-star by looking drop-dead gorgeous wearing a Donna Karan Spring 2012 dress.
Even with the modified plunging neckline, the actress still set temperatures soaring.
Her sleeveless patchwork gown with copper and black sequined embellishments was styled with loose wavy tumbling locks and a crystallized copper clutch.
Cobie lived up to her name by smouldering on the red carpet.
She was easily my favourite on the red carpet at this event as she books herself a place in the BDOTW list.

Too complicated for me
Stunning.
BDOTW contender.
I think she’s trying a bit hard here, she looks nice enough I suppose but meh
I love the colours of the dress and the matching clutch but my first thought was also meh
+1… ITA
Girl just KO’d ScarJo with that look!
ROFL.
Damn straight!
Gosh she looks amazing: confident, sexy yet still very classy and elegant.
I am starting to pay more and more attention to DKNY clothes. This dress is fabulous!
I agree with both of you!
don’t know,something is off,maybe because not so crazy abt the dress it self…
So much better than Scarlett, she was just too safe (and a bit boring)!
I don’t get a trying-too-hard vibe either so definitely a BDOTW contender!
HOT! I like that its still fashiony even though its sexy. Way to stand out.
Sorry I like Cobie and she is great, but I don’t like anything the about that dress, anything¡
Wow she looks sensational. I love everything about it. I can even say that she is my BDOTW so far.
Cobie always looks great. Her Emmy look last year was one of my favs of the year. Definetly BDOTW
This dress makes me think of garbage bags.
Any directors out there in Hollywood who look for wonder woman , i think you already met the ideal one. Colbie is AMAZING.
Love it. Agree that she is a BDOTW contender. She looks amazing and stands out. Totally out did ScarJo
Stunning. BDOTW for sure.
Agreed – she is stunning full stop. But she looks like a goddess here.
Since it’s an action movie premiere aimed at Males more than Females, I don’t have a problem with Scarlett’s dress or Cobie’s look – it’s not Oscar/Emmy red carpet attire, but it’s enough without ‘over-doing’ it at a premiere for such a film.
I’m dyign here. Scarlett looks better than normal, imo, but this is a properly sexy bomshell look. Her Emmy Gown is an unforgettable look, and now this is too. I love the back, it is grown up glamour at it’s finest.
I wonder if this’ll be the trend. The supporting characters being better dressed than the leads, because gosh, Cobie over Scarlett any day. BDOTW worthy!
Not in love with the dress (agree with the “too busy” comments) but she does look sensational. Gorgeous makeup.
I am really preferring Scarlett in this case! Cobie’s face/hair/makeup are beautiful but I REALLY dislike the dress. Between the strange colors and complicated pattern, the plunging neckline and cheap looking fabric, I think it’s quite tacky and overdone.
Wow +1! I had to go to Getty Images to get a clearer shot at the dress and it didn’t get me to like it better.
She looks great, but not fantastic and I definetely prefer Scarlett’s simpler but more effective look. Cobie’s dress kinda reminds me of a darker and longer version of a figure skating suit (which, by definition, isn’t the epitome of good taste).
Agree. Pretty lady, but ugly dress.
Its a miss for me. I dont care for the fit through the middle.
The fit through the middle would also be my complaint, seems a bit too wide around the waist/stomach.
But other than that she is totally selling this dress to me with sexy confidence, much prefer this over Scarlett’s look. BDOTW worthy for me.
She looks beautiful but the dress is not all that. Pretty but that’s it.
Hot hot hot! Gorgeous.. Thanks for putting her in BDOTW list FC.
beautiful woman in ugly dress. I prefer SCarlett Jo simple and beautiful
She looks stunning, confident, sexy and slightly provocative, yet classy and elegant, and not a hint of trying too hard or pushing it all in your face. BDOTW for me so far!
I will probably be in the minority here, but this dress is really ugly to me. There is just too much going on. Besides that, the fit seems “off”. I actually prefer Scarlett’s look.
+1 Cobie is an attractive woman but I don’t think this dress would flatter anyone.
She looks stunning! This is how you work a red carpet look!
gorgeous!
WOW! She looks fantastic. BDOTW worthy for sure. So effortlessly sexy.
This is the best she’s ever looked … i really love it! Scarjo, take note honey xx
She beats Scarlett any day of the week!
