AFI Festival is in full swing.

First Charlize Theron wowed us in Christian Dior, now we have the stunning Eva Mendes attending the same festival to promote her new movie “The Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans”.

The actress glided down the red carpet wearing a Chris Benz Spring 2010 multi-coloured plunging dress covered in paillettes.

The long sleeved sexy dress has an asymmetrical hem line with a central split which hugs Eva’s curves.

I can’t help but be jealous of her flawless barely there make-up, as she glows on this red carpet.

Like Charlize no bling necessary, just Brian Atwood Maniac heels and a black gold trimmed clutch to complete the look.

BDOTW is going to be impossible.

The last time we saw Charlize Theron on the red carpet we were less than impressed.

I was certain it was a one-off.

Charlize proves that by gracing the red carpet last night at the LA screening of “The Road” during AFI Festival looking outstanding wearing Christian Dior - of course.

Her silver lurex Spring 2010 wrap dress has a lace trim decorating the neckline and a draped detail on the hip.

The first thing I noticed when I saw Charlize were her bejeweled Giuseppe Zanotti flats.

On most this would be a major no-no, but as with most things it works for Charlize.

Her wavy up ‘do suits the retro look she was going for, but it’s the maroon lips which stand out because it’s a shade we’re not used to seeing on the actress, plus it gives her a very grown up look.

The actress sparkled in her dress and wisely opted out of wearing jewlery, but did add a silver quilted Christian Dior clutch to complete her look.

If you thought BDOTW was going to be a forgone conclusion, Theron has changed that.

Victoria Beckham like Prabal Gurung has a huge celebrity following.

Drew Barrymore is very much channeling grown up chic these days, as her look has matured.

The good thing is the Drew we all know and love still shines though.

She walked the red carpet last night wearing a well worn Victoria Beckham violet Giral strapless dress with black satin Casadei heels.

I do love the dress on Drew, but the jeweled pin feels unnecessary.

Victoria Beckham and Katherine Jenkins have worn the dress in this rich violet colour, and they have also both worn the black version along with Elle Macpherson.

This is the dialogue as it happened in my mind as I was looking at Kate Beckinsale on this red carpet.

“Kate Beckinsale is stunning, she never lets me down on the carpet. She’s glowing in her J.Mendel Spring 2010 dress. I wish I had her legs…..” THUD.

That thud stopped at her feet. Seriously Kate, why?

We’ve established that YSL Trib Two’s are the most comfortable shoes in the world, but they’re not doing any justice to her pretty marble jacquard strapless structural J.Mendel dress.

A contrast like this can be great on the red carpet, but this on this occasion it doesn’t work for me.

Only Camilla Belle can out do herself in the space of a week.

She started off looking divine in Jason Wu, and last night she looked divalicious in Alexander McQueen.

If you’re anything like me you have been scared of tthe magnificent McQueen Spring 2010 collection getting into the wrong hands. Thankfully this is not the case.

With the styling the looks felt quite hard on the runway, but Camilla brings a softness to her multi-coloured dress with the bustle skirt and beaded shoulders.

Thandie Newton is the latest celebrity to join the Prabal Gurung fan club after Leighton Meester joined yesterday.

The stunning actress never disappoints.

She walked the red carpet wearing a black and white strapless Prabal Gurung Spring 2010 brush painted rose print draped dress.

As you can see from the other Gurung dresses, a bow accent is featured on this dress.

Had Dania Ramirez not worn a Herve Leger Spring 2009 dress we have seen countless times on reality stars and D list celebrities I would’ve said that I loved this dress on her.

At this point I’m so over this dress she’s lucky to be featured.

I love Amanda Peet’s stunning white gown, but it feels a tad out of place on this red carpet were everyone else opted for shorter sassier looks.

Whenever I see turquoise necklaces I always think of  Eva Mendes at the Golden Globes.

It was a bitterly cold windy rainy night in London so Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy dress accordingly.

I was a bit disappointed Jenny didn’t give us something to wow about but our British stars did.

The X Factor contestants had a night off rehearsing to attend this event.

Lucie Jones looked adorable wearing a peachy Lipsy London bejewelled heart layer dress with leather jacket to toughen up her look, plus strappy sandals.

The X Factor judges said that they see Lucie as the next Avril Lavigne. I say please god NO WAY. One is plenty thank you.

Stacey Solomon wore leg shortening ankle boots with her black and white sequined dress which was worn off-the-shoulder.

Not at all crazy about the hair at all.

Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton has been MIA for a very long while.

The reality star shocks me by looking pretty darn good wearing a black and white marble print gown.

Hair and make-up look very good also.

It looks likes she’s finally ditch her desires to become a WAG.

Little Boots smarten up her navy dress with a black blazer and carried an Alexander McQueen skull clasp clutch to add a bit of rock ‘n roll to her look.

The Saturdays looked like you typical girl band walking the red carpet arm in arm wearing colour co-ordinated looks.

Model/actress Lily Cole walked the red carpet last night at the AFI Festival for the LA premiere of “The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus”.

I’m not sure about this one.

As much as I love the Marchesa Fall 2009 blush pink dress with embroidered leaf details, the colour washes Lily out too much for my liking.

I feel like she’s cold, as there is no warmth here so I’m struggling to love this look.

I thought maybe it was the lighting, but after looking at various pictures that is not the issue.

What do you guys think?

What a difference a decent dress can makes to Mariah Carey, as she has a tendency to want to wear very tight gowns that can make her look very trashy.

On this occasion she wore a Zac Posen Resort 2008 black mermaid gown and I think this is the best we have ever seen her, despite the fact that the gown has already been worn on the red carpet earlier this year.

Hair and make-up are fabulous, and she doesn’t go overboard with the bling.

BDOTW contender for sure.

Paula Patton has great legs, so she shortened her Bottega Veneta corseted dress to show them off and this modification works really well for her.

I’m not as excited about her necklace, but I do love her Jimmy Choo ‘Revere’ strappy sandals.

I love Mary J Blige, but I’m not so crazy about her Emillio Pucci Resort 2010 gown as it’s doing nothing for her.

Olivia Wilde opted for a white RM by Roland Mouret Scirocco crepe pencil dress with an asymmetric neckline and cap sleeves.

Nude make-up and accessories complete this look.

Garcelle Beauvais looks incredible wearing a red hot asymmetrical dress with Christian Louboutin glittery peep-toes.

Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks walked the red carpet together as she glowed wearing a gold shimmering strapless dress.
