In literary terms, the best of the week served all shades of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Meanwhile, the ones who missed the mark gave us “An American Tragedy.”
The hits:
Gabrielle Union
At the “Think Like a Man Too” premiere in Hollywood, the actress looked elegant in a lace cropped top and pencil skirt by Dolce & Gabbana paired with simple ankle-strap sandals and a red lip. Ladies, she’s the one to beat.
Jessica Biel
Biel attended the Tiffany & Co. flagship opening on the Champs-Elysées flaunting lovely Giambattista Valli Couture, which she should recycle for her “Real Housewives” audition.
Karolina Kurkova
And because she did it so well — slicked-back hair, minimal styling and makeup — the model, who wore it to the amfAR Inspiration Gala at the Plaza Hotel, deserves extra props.
Rose Byrne
At the Women in Film 2014 Crystal + Lucy Awards, the actress wore a silver lamé jumpsuit by MaxMara, complemented with Pomellato jewels and a smoky eye for an overall look that screamed modern, sexy and sophisticated.
A few days earlier, she also wore MaxMara at the brand’s cocktail party, co-hosted by W Magazine, at the Chateau Marmont. For that turn, she chose metallic blue and finished it with cap-toe pumps.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sure, it’s a little nightgownish, but Parker wears her clothes with such ease, it’s hard not to appreciate the magic she brought to this ensemble — and how it makes us want to frolic in a bucolic field of posies.
The misses:
Anna Faris
Cate Blanchett
It’s a great dress to wear if you have a nose to blow, Cate, but please, get back to your senses.
Eva Longoria
This blouse-and-belted-pencil-skirt combo she squeezed herself into is all kinds of wrong, especially for a refined LA event hosted by W Magazine.
She should lay off the “dress for success” tapes and focus on her career.
Jessica Szohr
To be honest, we’re as tired of the former “Gossip Girl” star’s attempts to resurface as we are of trying to pronounce her last name. She wore this ruffled mess to the NYC Hope for Children Gala — let us hope she never wears it again.
Kat Graham
Sorry, the all-black-and-white edgy-meets-sporty shtick was stupid then, so imagine where it stands now. Besides, knee-padded gladiators . . . really?
