Everybody pulled out their favorite black dress and suit for the Chanel Fine Jewelry "Night of Diamonds" dinner at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. As much as I give her shit for being too thin, I am appreciative that in the sea of sedate little black dresses, Ellen Pompeo managed to hit the red carpet with an outfit, hair and make-up that stood out from the crowd.
I love the retro-glam look from the neck up, and there is so much going on in this outfit to enjoy--a giant satin white boy slung across her shoulders, positioned right at the center of her chest, tiny little black leather gloves, with their own bows too, I believe, and a skirt that dissolves into tassles by the time it reaches her feet. In case you can't tell if I'm being sarcastic or not, you're not alone, because I can't either.
But without any confusion, I can confidently say that I think Blake Lively of "Gossip Girl" looked absolutely fantastic with her hair loosely pulled-back, her star earrings and sheer-in-parts top. However, it's Selma Blair who has my vote for best dress and hair. Kristy Turlington looks predictably beautiful, but quite frankly, if you're a supermodel, it's your job.
And poor Julia Stiles--I feel like she always looks like she ran out of make-up before walking out the door.

Lisa, normally I don't say anything about typos but "...a giant satin white boy slung across her shoulders?" Maybe you want to fix that one?
Zekers says:
...oh, and Christy Turlington looks amazing, Selma Blair looks as though the rehab didn't stick too well.
peachpie says:
lol Zekers... that one caught me a little off guard too.
and.... one would think babs bush would have a friend brave enough to say 'don't wear that honey -- it looks dreadful.'
audrey says:
LOVE Ellen's hair! She looks like Coco Chanel herself. The outfit needs some work, though

Julia Stiles has skin to kill for (not literally, of course). She just needs a little boost. I can relate... I have really pale skin, and people have been telling me to wear colorful clothes and more makeup (!?) since I was 13!.
Julia says:
Julia Styles looks lovely, Ellen looks a bit old, and Selma looks pretty tired. Girl needs to lay off the sauce.

Why is everyone other than Kate Mara and Christy Turlington extremely ugly?
katemara says:

Why does Slema Blair look like she's always on drugs? Go back to rehab love. It may do you well.
