Eva Mendes in Dior, 2009
WHERE 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "This look has one moment of extravagance and shows that proportion is everything. If that wonderful fold at her hip was two inches wider or longer it might have failed—but it was so right. The Van Cleef Arpels necklace is a spectacular compliment."
Anne Hathaway in Armani Privé, 2009
WHERE 81st Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "The huge, iridescent piettes came down at a diagonal and created a great mermaid effect. This dress almost matched her skin tone and was like a burst of light underneath her."
Drew Barrymore in Donna Karan, 2007
WHERE Music and Lyrics Premiere in New York City
WHY WE LOVE IT "There's such a womanly air to this look with the beautiful draping and the compliment of that huge stone necklace. The combination of the two gave her an elegance that I’d never seen in her before."
Jessica Alba in Dolce & Gabbana, 2005
WHERE 58th International Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France
WHY WE LOVE IT "The movement of the fabric against her great body is sexy and as sparkly as the dress is, there’s something very withholding about it."
Kate Hudson in Valentino, 2003
WHERE 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "This is one of my favorite Valentino dresses ever. It’s not what you’d expect on a red carpet because it’s so riveting and untamed. The vibrant colors evoked Kate’s free spirit."
Reese Witherspoon in Nina Ricci, 2006
WHERE 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "This was Reese's first moment out after her split with Ryan Philippe: Strapless, short, yellow, unadorned and showing her body. I love the unexpectedness of it. It was a brilliant strategy and it really worked."
Penelope Cruz in Atelier Versace, 2007
WHERE 81st Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "Three things: A refined moment with her hair and makeup, a vavoom moment where the dress fits so close to her body and a big glamour moment with the intricate train that goes on forever."
Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Couture, 2003
WHERE 55th Annual Emmy Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "There's something so happy about this dress. Those fabulous, weightless layers of organza— it’s like cotton candy or a pink meringue soufflé. They didn’t bother with hair and makeup because the dress was such an eye popper."
Kate Winslet in Atelier Yves Saint Laurent, 2009
WHERE 81st Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "This dress shows the sexiness of a real woman who makes no apologies for her curves."
Tilda Swinton in Lanvin, 2008
WHERE 80th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles
WHY WE LOVE IT "It's deliberately asymmetrical. It’s deliberately unbalanced. The black velvet draped around her ghostlike skin gave the look a haunting, gothic, sexiness."
