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.

The team at Harper’s Bazaar work very fast because last week they shot Kate Hudson in what appears to be at white themed Harper’s Bazaar editorial wearing Spring 2010 looks that had only just come off the runway.

Kate Hudson was a perfect vision in white as she posed for photographer Peter Lindbergh on the streets of Manhattan.

Kate looked like a blushing bride wearing a white organza tea length Marchesea Spring 2010 gown with embroidered tulle bodice, paired with white Christian Louboutin Lolo Ballerina pumps.

Whilst wearing the wedding-esqe gown she carried a bouquet of red roses with matched her lip colour.

This Versace Spring 2010 white and silver haltered dress was paired with the same platformed heels as presented on the runway, which you can just about see through the shopping cart.

Even behind the shopping cart she still sparkles.

Kate’s son Ryder shared the spotlight with his mother as she looked drop-dead gorgeous showing off her legs in an embellished Emilo Pucci Spring 2010 mini dress with a feathered hem.

Her look was paired with a white Bally bag and gold platform peep-toes.

I wonder which will be the cover shot.

Sporting longer locks which were swept to the side, Lily Allen was named “Woman of the Year” and the “2009 GQ Men Of The Year Awards” in London last night.

The face of Chanel “Coco Cocoon” bag collection walked the red carpet wearing a black sheer double strapped Chanel Resort 2010 gown.

Had Lily wondered what that extra piece of material was for on the front of her gown, she’ll wonder no more when she sees her picture in the papers this morning.

Many of you are horrified that Lily is the face of Chanel, and when she ruins a perfectly wonderful gown like this I have to agree.

Freida Pinto makes a vast improvement from her last outing, which lets face it wouldn’t have been too difficult.

I love that she took a risk with this Christopher Kane black layered dress, but the hair is a bit too prim and proper for such an edgy look.

The actress pairs her dress with Rupert Sanderson Khyber cutout sandals.

I would’ve much rather seen Freida wear something more colourful, but I think she just pulls this off.

Louise Redknapp also opted for a shortened Christopher Kane Fall 2009 asymmetrical dress.

Her mesh dress with black velvet trims was paired with YSL Trib Two heels and Bottega Veneta clutch.

Katherine Jenkins appears to love the Victoria Beckham dress collection as much as the designer herself, as this is the 2nd VB dress we’ve seen her wear.

This time she opted for violet Giral strapless shot silk dress.

I’m guessing Katherine likes this collection so much because the dresses caters for those with a larger bust.

When I tried on a strapless dress from Victoria’s Spring 2009 collection I could barely fill the bodice.

The only way I recognised that Gemma Arterton was wearing Louis Vuitton was by her clutch and heels.

For some reason the LV pizazz is lost on Gemma, and this ruffle collared jacket suddenly becomes quite ordinary.

I just feel like raising the collar, its not meant to be so flat.

Victoria Hesketh aka Little Boots was one of my favourites at this event wearing a Josh Goot multi coloured printed ruched mini dress.

The surprising feature is that the back of the dress and sleeves are plain black.

The singer completes her look with an Alexander McQueen knuckle duster clutch.

Pixie Lott opted for a bedazzling Collette Dinnigan Spring 2009 mini dress coved in diamanté embellishments.

Ankle boots and studded cuffs complete the look.

We first saw this dress worn by Taylor Swift.

Much like Leighton Meester’s MTV Movie Awards Emilio De La Morena dress, Alexandra Burke’s black and white mesh Emilio Pucci dress is quite cheeky.

I’m really scared to see what this dress looked like from the back.

A turtleneck? In yesterday’s soaring heat?

I feel hot just looking at Kelly Osbourne wearing this Jasmine di Milo’s Fall 2009 dress.

Dita von Teese will be full of admiration for Kelly Brook’s waist reducing dress.

The pink rubber printed dress appears to have a built in corset to give Kelly an hour glass shape.

I bet she gave off a sexy wiggle when she walked in this dress.

Even though Eva Mendes was the “big star” at this event I was more impressed by people like Little Boots and Kelly Brook for giving us something new.

Eva wore a stunning maroon shimmering gown.

The colour was sublime on her, but the wow factor was missing. Eva can do this kind of look in her sleep.

Daisy Lowe opted for a space-aged look, which she paired down with black pumps.

Rachel Stevens hair and make-up is quite outstanding. I love the transformation maybe the newlywed decided to spice up her image.

Her LND with a voluminous skirt is oh so cute.

Tamara Ecclestone wore a striking Preen black and white lightening-print bandage-style dress paired with black ankle boots and a matching clutch.

Elizabeth Hurley’s strapless but dress is cute enough, but why I’m I so bored?

My chin hit the floor when I saw Rachel McAdams wearing a stunning white Emilio Pucci Resort 2010 ruched dress with a very deep plunge.

Mostly because she looks amazing in the dress, but secondly because the actress deepen the plunge to make the dress even sexier than it appears on the runway.

Who would have thought Rachel could pull of a sex kitten look?

Her look was paired with black patent Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels, whilst her peachy glow and pink lips worked well with her cute curly bob.

Brad Pitt was also there in an official capacity as one of the movie’s producers, and he was also decked out in white.

After Taylor Momsen’s Teen Vogue interview she went down in a lot of our estimations.

I’ll take Miley over Taylor any day, and Miley wants to make me scratch my eyes out so that’s how low she has fallen for me.

I thew my toys out of the pram and said “life’s just not fair” that Little J got to wear this stunning Emilio Pucci Fall 2009 strapless mini dress on the “Gossip Girl” set yesterday.

I love the zipper details which expose sequin panels.

Silver ankle booties, a crucifix pendant and classic Ray Ban aviators completed the look.

From Hilary Duff’s, Leighton Meester’s and Blake Lively’s looks it’s safe to assume they are shooting a party scene.

I promise this is the last “Gossip Girl” post of today. But there are still more looks to come tomorrow. These girls are on fire.

You couldn’t miss Zoe Saldana at the LA premiere Star Trek, she would have been one one with all the jaws dropping around her.

The star wore a black Emilio Pucci beaded dress, with snake-like detail slithering around her mesh panel cutouts.

Her sexy swagger and Brian Atwood “Wicked” shoes completed this perfect look.

Fergie created a similar OMG moment when she arrived at the “Late Show with David Letterman” this week.

Her green and silver figure-hugging dress, was more daring with the cutaway sections revealing Fergie’s waist, back and shoulders. Silver heels and a chunky ring completed the look.

As much as I love both of them, I prefer Zoe’s black version with the mesh panel cut outs. It’s sex appeal is more understated.

Wowaz. Fergie sure knows how to make an impact.

The Black Eyed Peas singer arrived for her appearance on the “Late Show With David Letterman” last night, looking drop dead gorgeous wearing a green and silver embellished Emilio Pucci Fall 2009 mini dress. Which actually might be a Resort 2010 dress, due to the lighter colours.

You may remember the black version was first worn by Zoe Saldana to her Star Trek LA Premiere, and it had much the same jaw dropping impact.

Apart from the colour, the other difference is Fergie’s dress has the mesh panels removed to show-off more skin.

Strappy peep-toe sandals, and voluminous curls finished the sexy look.
