  Sarah Jessica Parker

  The blazer? Awesome. The Tracy Reese dress? Dig the feathers. The Chanel fanny pack? Wow! I can’t believe that SJP pulled off this historically-mocked fashion trend, but she did at the 2014 Art Of The Pixel Gala in New York. Style winner.Getty Images

• Kerry Washington

  I’m a big fan of this metallic mini Kerry wore to the TGIT Premiere Event Celebrating Shonda Rhimes in Hollywood. It’s shorter and saucier than what her Scandal alter-ego Olivia would ever wear, but that’s kind of why I like it. Style winner.Getty Images

• Reese Witherspoon

  Reese looks lovely in a floral Christian Dior dress at the premiere of The Good Lie in Washington, D.C. I like her super-straight hair, too. Reese has been positively glowing on the red carpets lately as she basks in the glow of her new flicks, which are all getting lots of great reviews. Style winner.Getty Images

• Portia de Rossi

  Portia looked like a sad fairy tale godmother at the TGIT Premiere Event Celebrating Shonda Rhimes. This is just so…bland. My eyes are begging for a bit of colour or anything to create some depth to this boring look. I don’t like the cape either. Style loser.Getty Images

• Kirsten Dunst

  Looking positively elegant, Kirsten stuns in Chanel Couture at the premiere of The Two Faces of January in New York. The delicate, high-end detailing along the bodice is glorious as is the matching skinny, silver belt. Style winner.Getty Images

• Emma Watson

  Looking very Audrey Hepburn-esque, Emma attended the UN Women’s HeForShe VIP After Party in NYC in a classic, black dress that’s effortlessly chic. This girl really knows how to pull off red lipstick, too. Style winner.Getty Images

• Zoe Saldana

  Zoe continues to make her pregnancy look oh-so-fashionable in a black gown with a gorgeous, flirty trim at the Hispanic Heritage Awards in Washington, D.C. I totally love the peplum on this Juan Carlos Obando dress. Style winner.Getty Images

• Kate Walsh

  Horrifying. That’s what I have to say about this one-armed monstrosity Kate wore to the Operation Smile Gala in Beverly Hills. I think this Georges Chakra Couture dress is truly terrible. Is that weird strap trying to choke her? Style loser.Getty Images

• Jaime King

  Jaime’s Charlotte Ronson frock is sultry, slinky and gorgeous. The navy and black work well together, while the sheer adds a little instead of taking away a lot (which is sometimes the risk you run with sheer). Should I be embarrassed that I like her sappy show Hart of Dixie? I do. Style winner.Getty Images

• Taylor Swift

  Taylor ALMOST got a fail from me for baring her midriff, but come on, even I can’t pretend she doesn’t look good at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas. Also, if you can’t go skimpy in Vegas…well…where else can you? So, to recap, I support Ms. Swift in this Calvin Klein Collection outfit. Style winner.Getty Images
