The stand-outs for me were Christina Hendricks, looking amazing in an amazing gown that could not have been more perfect for her, Michele Williams in a unique Miu Miu frock, Evan Rachel Wood reminiscing the best of Deco, Sofia Vergara in one of my favorite Carolina Herreras, Dakota Fanning looking impossibly ethereal, and Ashley Olsen, elegant in Dior (that fit).

Close behind them were Ashley Greene in lovely (undraped) Donna Karan; Leelee Sobieski, glamorous in white Vionnet; Solange Knowles in one of my favorite designers (and looking far better than her sister, who wore one of the tackiest dresses in history); Emily Browning with a beautiful lace neckline and sleeves; Naomi Watts in a quietly lovely Stella McCartney; Diana Agron looking classy and classic in Michael Kors; Diane Kruger in a striking Jason Wu, Kristen Stewart looking interesting in Proenza Schoeler; and SJP in the real thing.

I want to put Ginnifer Goodwin on the list, except that, in the photos at least, there was something odd about the cut of the waist in her otherwise beautiful gown. Her sandals were fierce, though, and perfect for the dress. And that necklace!

Honorable Mentions to Mia Wasikowska (except that her hair was all wrong), Rachel Roy, and Alexa Chung. Special Mention to Sarah Burton. Iman and Naomi Campbell were in a class of their own.

@KateOlive–thanks for your highly-researched and thoughtful response! I agree about Dianna A — classy and classic in Michael Kors!
