I think Kate Bosworth looks absolutely outstanding in this Alexander McQueen Resort 2009 dress. One of the best looks of the party night.
I love that it is sleeveless, unlike the runway version, and I like that her hair is unfussy.

Madonna arrived wearing a Christian Dior Spring 2009 dress, which was unsurprisingly sheer in places.

Taraji P. Henson did a quick change from the show. Her second pick was this Nina Ricci Spring 2009 peachy gown with ruffled details, and a rise & fall hem.

YIKES, was the first thing I said when I saw Zoe Saldana in this Dolce & Gabbana gown. The animal print is too ‘in your face’.

Speaking of YIKES. Alicia Keys changed the dress, but didn’t change the hair and make-up which has been an issue with me and many of you.
This canary yellow asymmetrical gown is gorgeous. Such a shame about rest.

Zooey Deschanel - Katy Perry’s could be twin - arrived looks cute as always wearing a stunning silver sequined Elie Saab dress.
I think it’s a first that she is not wearing tights on the red carpet.

Cat Deeley wears a one-shouldered Matthew Williams Fall 2008 gown, that has already been worn by Mischa Barton.

The gorgeous Georgina Chapman wore a gold embroidered self designed dress from her Marchsea Spring 2009 collection.

I love the swirling pattern on the skirt of Ginnifer Goodwin’s dress, but not so crazy about the bodice. This is a great colour on her though.

Being in the front row of a fashion show pays off for actresses, as Jessica Stroup was wearing a Pamella Roland Spring 2009 plunging black and white sequined gown, after she attended Pamella Roland’s Fall 2009 show last week.
The actress dazzled in Jude Frances jewelry.

There are a few things I hated last night. Jessica Biel’s hair, Beyonce’s dress. Now I can add Salma Hayek’s Balenciaga dress.
It looks so unflattering on her, and the tired old YSL Trib Two’s and the tights don’t help her cause either.

I will guess Marion Cotillard didn’t want people stepping on the train of her Dior gown, so she slipped into this violet strapless cocktail Elie Saab Fall 2008 dress for this party.

Marisa Tomei did the same, but I really dislike the colour blocking on this Juan Carlos Obando Spring 2009 gown.

Like last year’s Vanity Fair party, Ziyi Zhang wore Armani Privé.
Her nude cocktail Armani Privé Fall 2008 dress had a stunning embellished bodice, and a soft silk chiffon layered skirt.

Jada Pinkett-Smith wore a Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009 one-sleeved gown, which had a crystal embellished detail on the waist.

Daniel Craig’s partner Satsuki Mitchell, wore a watermelon Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Couture one shouldered gown.

Kate Beckinsale wore a J.Mendel Fall 2009 asymmetrical black gown, which she decorated with a silver brooch.
This is a very subdued look for Kate, who usually loves big gowns.

Rachel Weisz wore one of the finale dresses from the Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2009 collection.
I wasn’t particularly crazy about this dress then, and even less enthused about it now.
The heels are fierce though.

Elizabeth Banks wore this black flapper-esqe Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009 cocktail dress.
This dress was presented in ivory, and I think this would have been a better choice for Elizabeth.
Her look is complete with Sergio Rossi shoes and a Swarovski clutch.

Yay. Now the parties start.
Debra Messing makes up for her earlier disappointment, by wearing this nude sleeveless Jenny Packham Fall 2008 gown with emerald green embellishments.
I have always loved this gown, and I am glad Debra wore it well.

Instead wearing her own expected L.A.M.B. designs, Gwen Stefani wore a black Chanel Fall 2008 Couture cocktail dress, with interesting detail on the bodice.
I really dislike this collection, so kudos to Gwen for making this work.
Good to see her back on the red carpet.

This has to be one of the first times I have really dislike something worn by Naomi Watts.

Diane von Furstenberg is of course wearing her own designs. The lavender sequined dress, with beaded details is from her Spring 2009 collection.

Carolina Herrera was of course wearing her own design from her Spring 2009 collection.

Jessica Biel tries to redeem herself wearing a fuschia Oscar de la Renta Fall 2009 gown, but still fails with her greasy hair.
Rosario Dawson out does her wearing a strapless white satin Dolce & Gabbana gown with an black embellished belt.

Jessica Alba, like Heidi Klum, wore a RM by Roland Mouret Resort 2009 black gown, with an asymmetrical hem, and a overshot shoulder, which was folded down, to reveal the ivory lining.

Claire Danes is gorgeous wearing a Zac Posen Spring 2009 nude dress, with cap sleeves and a black lace overlay with an asymmetrical hem.

Natalia Vodianova arrived with her husband wearing a holey wool Calvin Klein Fall 2009 one-sleeved dress which looked like lace, with two tone peep-toes.

I adore this silk blue Ralph Lauren gown that Olivia Wilde is wearing.
She completes her look with a Daniel Swarovski clutch.

Victoria Beckham arrived looking outstanding wearing a black jersey dress, with sequined shoulders from her own Fall 2009 recently presented collection.

What is up with Eva Longoria and dark colours lately? Bring back the bubblegum pinks, and baby blues immediately.
Having said that, I LOVE this suit on her. She looks fantastic, and this is the best her hair has looked in a long while.

OMG…this is exactly the dress I picked from the Georges Chakra Spring 2009 Couture collection for Carrie Underwood. I knew she would love this, as it’s just her style.
The silver one shoulder dress has strands of Swarovski crystal and pearls which is just exquisite.
She completes her look with a matching Mary Norton clutch.

Sharon Stone wore a black Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2009 lace gown.
It would be hard to wear a bra or nipple covers with this dress, but Sharon could have at least modified the dress with an extra layer, so we were not exposed to her nipples.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon wore a stunning gown by up and coming designer Rafael Cennamo. The beautiful black asymmetrical one shoulder gown, had silver pailettes along the bust and strap.
Outstanding, as always.

Rashida Jones wore a sequined taupe sleeveless 3.1 Phillip Lim Ruffle cocoon dress, with pewter strappy sandals.

Eva La Rue’s strapless figure-hugging dress, is incredibly sexy. I love the nude underlay against her caramel skin.

Gina Gershon is wearing the same body-hugging Roberto Cavalli black gown with jeweled detail on the bust, which she wore Tony Awards back in June last year.

Eve’s wore an azure blue halter gown.

Rachel Griffiths wore a 60s vintage Geoffrey Beene gown from Decades Inc. with Roger Vivier shoes, a Lambertson Truex clutch and Neil Lane jewels.
A great look for the mother-to-be.

What happened to Dita von Teese?
This is two in a row that I dislike. The colour and the right side of the Christian Lacroix Fall 2008 Couture dress I really dislike.
Without the Vanity Fair party, the only real party that brought out the stars was Elton John’s Annual AIDS Foundation Party.
Unfortunately the likes of Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson, Uma Thurman did not attend and most of those celebrities who walked the red carpet wore the same dress to the parties, so there was not the opportunity to see them in a second set of dresses.

Ziyi Zhang was by far the best dressed at this event wearing a ruffled electric blue Armani Privé Spring 2008 strapless dress.

Sharon Stone made up for her Dior disaster last week, by wearing a white tuxedo from the Christian Dior Spring 2008 collection.
I like the way she has made this sexy, by not wearing a shirt under her waistcoat.

Kate Beckinsale is wearing one of my favourite dresses from the Versace Couture Spring 2008 collection. This is very sexy and un-prom-like look for Kate.

Eva Herzigova looked stunning in this canary yellow Versace Couture Spring 2008 one shouldered gown. Her jewels were from Chopard.

Actress Zoe Saldana has been wearing a lot of stunning dress lately and this J. Mendel Spring 2008 gown with flower detail is no exception.

Portia de Rossi looks stunning in this late coloured Lanvin Spring 2008 dress, although her sun-burnt orange eyebrows are killing me.

Ellen DeGeneres loves to wear suits, and she is looking very dapper in this grey Dior suit with white shoes.

Heidi Klum put away her Dior dress for sake keeping, and stepped out in this stunning metallic Roberto Cavalli Spring 2008 mini dress.

Courtney Love dressed up in this jeweled neckline ivory white satin Lanvin dress, which slightly washes her out.

Mary J Blige wore this aubergine, shoulder embellished dress to perform at this event with host Elton John.

She later changed into this ombre gown, to enjoy the party with the other guests.
Both dresses were equally amazing on the R&B diva, but I preferred this gown.

Sofia Vergara picks up were Salma Hayek left off, in the sexiest buxom babe on the red carpet.
She looks amazing wearing this emerald green Versace dress, which she is in danger of spilling out of.

Designer Monique Lhuillier wore a stunning hybrid of her own designs from her Spring 2008 & Fall 2008 collection.

Terri Seymour attended this event with her boyfriend Simon Cowell.
She is wearing a Loris Azzaro 1970s goddess style dress in apricot sorbet jersey with a ruched bodice from Rare Vintage.
Like Portia, the eyebrows are too thick for my liking.

Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks showed us her sexy legs by wearing this interesting aubergine gathered mini Alexander McQueen Fall 2007 dress.

Either it is the lipstick with the Roberto Cavalli dress, or the dress with the lipstick, but something is not working here for Petra Nemcova.
I think it’s the lipstick.

Minnie Driver is a tad boring in chocolate.
She usually makes a effort to stand out as at these events.

I was pleasantly surprised to see singer Nadine Coyle from UK pop band Girls Aloud on the red carpet at this event.
She wore a gorgeous chocolate embellished chiffon dress with golden peep-toes.
The two American ex-pats. I wonder if they are talking about Diaper Genie’s?
Natalie Portman looks stunning here with Guy Ritchie. How is this girl single?
SO friggin cool….it is like Sex And the City all over again.
The Power Corner. If I was at a party and I saw these gals talking together I would try to either listen in or join the conversation.
Awwww hubby is out of rehab to hang with his Mrs.
Liv Tyler and Helena Christensen are two beautiful brunettes hanging out at the VF Party.
