When Megan Fox was wearing gowns with thigh-high splits during her “Transformers” promotional tour, many of you said she was trying to hard to be sexy.

The same can not be said about Paz Vega, because even if she dressed in a bin liner she still would be sexy. It just comes naturally and oozes from her every pore.

Last night she owned the red carpet wearing a black Gucci Resort 2010 backless black long sleeve gown with a dangerously high split.

Her look was paired with diamond bracelets and Gucci Fall 2009 patent pumps.  I would’ve preferred a strappy sandal like the one presented on the runway, but other than that she’s perfection.

Sofia Milos matches Paz in the sexy style stakes wearing a midnight blue and black striped Herve Leger by Max Azria Fall 2008 bandage dress, which has a high collar with a corsage detail on the bodice.

You may remember back in December 2008 Jenny McCarthy wore this same dress on the red carpet.

Ingrid Muccitelli wore a black Balenciaga Fall 2008 dress with a fold detail on the hip, an embellished detail on the waist and a thigh-high split.

I love her dress but those sheer embroidered arm warmers leave me so confused.

You’re wearing a stunning dress, and gorgeous heels why ruin it?

Margherita Buy’s cream ombre asymmetrical gown is completely embroidered with a stunning floral beaded detail.

She’s not as sexy as the others, but she needn’t be when she can look this spectacular with no make-up and a stunning gown.

Premiere

Kristen Bell glowed wearing a coral BCBG Max Azria Spring 2010 mini dress straight off the runway.

The dress has a sheer asymmetrical panel and sheer panels in the cut-outs on the side of the dress, so it gives the illusion of this dress being strapless.

Kristen is a cute, young and fun so this dress suits both her style and personality.

Jimmy Choo heels and a Celestina clutch complete her look.

I’m really loving Malin Ackerman’s new hairstyle, it makes her look so sophisticated and chic.

A chic new ‘do needs a beautiful dress and she wore exactly that.

Her strapless Marchesa strapless floral brocade dress brings out her golden complexion.

I love the print, the ruffled bodice, and her pink suede Sergio Rossi heels which perfectly complement the dress.

We’ve already seen this dress worn by the designer Georgina Chapman.

Photocall

For her photocall look Kristen wore a lilac Rebecca Taylor silk tank dress with a bejeweled bodice.

She teamed her dress with the same Choo’s she wore at the premiere.

Malin’s Nicole Miller dress has a geometric print bodice with a black high-waist skirt which makes her look about a foot taller.

The Nicole Miller dress was paired electric blue Sergio Rossi platforms.

Blake Lively was obviously saving a stunning red carpet look for her own premiere.

The beautiful Gossip Girl actress wowed on the red carpet last night wearing a mini Marchesa Spring 2010 dress.

The strapless nude corseted cocktail dress has a black feathered skirt – which appears to be a bit shorter than the runway look – and an embroidered floral bodice.

It’s safe to say she owned this look. It’s like Georgina Chapman made it especially for her.

I would’ve preferred a peep-toe, but her nude pumps work perfectly with her dress.

After her Emmy’s plait disaster, Blake opted for loose waves and light nude make-up for her finished touches.

Blake has said on many occasions that she doesn’t use a stylist.

She picks looks she likes from Style.com and contacts the designers directly.

Like hating her good looks and long legs wasn’t enough, we have to envy her for making her Style.com lookbook come to life.

BDOTW contender for sure.

Keisha Whitaker wore a tangerine Rachel Roy Resort 2010 embellished dress,which I didn’t realise had a zipper detail going up the side until now.

Forest and Keisha did a vintage Posh & Becks move by colour co-ordinating their looks, as his sneakers matched her dress.

So cute.

Stylist June Ambrose walked the red carpet wearing a silver Alexander McQueen metallic brushstroke dress which had a cowl-neck dress, a small peplum on the hips and padded shoulders.

Black pumps an a silver clutch complete the look.

Amber Heard walked the red carpet looking outstanding wearing a vintage Oscar de la Renta black gown.

The sheer gown with a lace underlay and lace cap sleeves shimmers from the embroidered embellishments all over the gown.

Her hair, make-up and Dana David jewelry are perfection.

The ribbon tied around her waist was a nice finishing touch.

BDOTW contender for sure.

Jessica Szohr arrived wearing a grey Proenza Schouler coat dress paired with black jeans and snake skin peep-toes.

Not quite as ready carpet ready I would have hoped, but I guess because she’s not in the movie she didn’t feel the need to dress up.

Taylor Momsen went for a gothic look teaming a lace minidress, patterned tights and a crucifix with heavy eye make-up.

I don’t hate the look as she doesn’t look too disheveled, but she could so wear this look to a Halloween party.

Maybe Blake Lively is like me and she hates horror movies because she wasn’t seen on the red carpet, but she was seen with her boyfriend Penn Badgley at the after party.

The gorgeous actress wore a Smythe tweed slouchy boyfriend blazer paired with a white tee, black leather pants and Giuseppe Zanotti studded pumps.

Premiere

Penelope Cruz arrived on the red carpet for the “Broken Embraces” premeire which closed “New York Film Festival” wearing a silvery grey Haider Ackermann Fall 2009 ensemble.

The look comes in 3 parts including a grey diagonal seamed skirt with an unfinished hem.

An anthracite grey wool asymmetric hooded waistcoat with a cowled front and a chunky chrome zip.

The look in complete with a dark grey leather jacket with strong padded shoulders, an inverted collar and an asymmetric hemline.

At first I wasn’t crazy about Pen in this look, but the more I see the look the more I love it as it’s such a departure from what I would expect from her.

If you cast your minds back to Cannes Film Festival you will remember that Tilda Swinton wore a similar look in a gorgeous deep maroon colour.

Paper Magazine Dinner Honoring Pedro Almodovar & Penelope Cruz

For this party thrown in her honour Penelope wore a white Chanel Resort 2010 dress with gold embroidered details on the shoulders and pockets.

I much prefer how this look worked on the runway with the cropped embroidered pants.

Pen paired her look with gold Jimmy Choo heels.

Press Conference

Penelope appeared to have kept the same make-up for every look.

For the press conference she wore an Alexander McQueen Houndstooth check pencil dress.

This is my favourite look of the 3 as this ultra-chic houndstooth wool drape-front pencil dress shows off her gorgeous figure.

The Spanish actress paired her dress with a black satin pumps.

When I saw Rachel Weisz at the “Agora” Madrid Premiere the first thing I said was “O.M.G”.

Not OMG this has to be on the Best Dressed list, but OMG in utter shock.

Shock that her Prada dress looks SO creased.

I tried to justify to myself that the dress was meant to be ‘crushed’, but it’s clearly creased by looking at the skirt. *winces*

What a bad way to complete a very stylish day.

If you are thinking the dress looks familiar, it’s because Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Alba have both worn Prada dresses with the same embellished details on the neckline.

On the plus side her Prada shoes are ace, plus her hair and make-up is flawless.

Lily Cole walked the red carpet in London last night for the UK premiere of her movie “The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus”.

The British model/actress/Cambridge University student looked so statuesque wearing a Chanel Spring 2008 Couture black and white tired haltered gown with a flower detailed neckline.

I’m not so crazy about the shoes, but everything else works for me.

I believe this would have been difficult for many to pull off, but being the tall and beautiful Lily does it with ease.

This is the second Chanel Couture look the model has worn during this promotional tour. She first wore Chanel Couture in Cannes.
