Jennifer Garner in grey Givenchy at the Variety event: boring or lovely?

These are more photos from Friday night’s “Annual Power of Women” event, which was hosted by Variety and Lifetime. Actresses and entertainers received awards for their charitable and philanthropic work. As I said before, the event got some A-listers and such, so it turned out to be a pretty great event, photo and fashion-wise. First up: Jennifer Garner in Givenchy. Yeah… I’m sorry to all of the Garner fan-girls out there, but I don’t think she looks very good here. The grey color is so boring (on a woman who has issues bringing her own sparkle to clothes, you know?), the fluttery hip detail is just dumb, and the top of the dress looks really binding and ill-fitting. I also think her hair is blah – she looks like she just pulled it back into a ponytail for Violet’s soccer practice or something. And the SHOES. Dear God, the shoes are amazingly terrible. Something nice: her body looks good. Pretty, simple makeup. And her jewelry is nice.

Here’s Ashley Greene in a Roland Mouret dress – Halle Berry was also wearing Mouret. Will you hate me if I say that I like Ashley’s dress more? Just in general. I don’t get the weird bunching in the mid-section, though. Is that a design flaw or an Ashley Greene flaw?

Jessica Biel in Gucci. I think we’ve already seen this exact dress featured on some magazine covers, but this might be the first red carpet appearance for the dress. And does Jessica do it justice? Eh. The dress feels very 1970s to me, but weirdly updated. Like, Jessica’s mother wore the original floor-length dress to Studio 54 and Jessica found the dress in the attic and she had it recut to suit her. The shoes are Louis Vuitton. I don’t hate them. Jessica’s bangs look a bit better too – not so shaggy and long. She had them trimmed.

Stacy Keibler is so proud of herself! She managed to reemerge once again as George Clooney’s girlfriend and all is well with the world. Time for a victory lap through a big industry event. Notice that George is not contractually obligated to show up for Stacy at HER events. Stacy’s dress is Theory. Everybody is doing weird zipper details these days. Eh. Her hair looks better, right?

    Jen Garner is so beautiful but her stylist hates her. Out of all the dresses, I like Stacy’s the most. Ashley’s dress makes her breast implants look very implanty. Either that or I’m using my new-found super power of being able to spot breast implants. It’s true: takes one to know one. Since I had reconstruction surgery for breast cancer I now have the useless skill of being able to look at anyone and say: real or fake. (My friends abuse my powers at the pool: “what about her?” Bah! Let me read my magazine!)

    Yes, her body does look good for a woman who had her third baby just recently–and I like her–but it absolutely amazes me how this simple gray dress is wearing HER. You’d think she’d have to be stepping out in one of Gaga’s meat cast-offs to look this out of her realm, but Jennifer is just not into fashion and it shows. And yeah, the shoes are f’ing dreadful.

    I think Jennifer looks modern and really pretty. And she has fan-girls? That’s news to me.

    I think she’s the best looking woman there. The rest of them look too flashy, fake and a little greasy. Understatement is your friend folks.

    Garner’s dress looks like it would be more suitable in an office setting (I don’t hate it, but it is just nothing special). While I don’t understand the concept that is Stacy Whatever, I do like her dress – it’s very cute.

    I do agree with all you have said about Jennifer’s look and I think Stacy looks quite nice and really like Ashley’s dress. But, given what the event was, I think Jennifer was the most appropriately dressed.

    I’ve such dislike for the whole ‘peplum’ thing. Other than that, being a great worshipper of the ‘grey’, I’m inclined to go with lovely.

    I think Jen looks lovely, too. Maybe it isn’t quite glam enough for the event, but objectively, she looks beautiful (bad shoes, though, I’ll grant you).

    I love the grey color. I like Jen’s dress too except for those little wings at the hip. Those shoes are awful!

    Beil and her bangs – the less said the better!

    I think Jennifer Garner looks great! But then, this is exactly something I would wear–down to the chignon and clutch purse! I do love peplum, it’s so flattering.

    That dress is doing Ms. Garner no favors. The color doesn’t work for her, the peplum is awful, and the entire look is one of stiffness. The shoes look like some weird fantasy animal’s hooves.

    Can’t get beyond Jennifer Garner’s absolutely hideous shoes. They look like blocks of concrete – how can she think they look flattering to her legs/outfit? When will this ugly trend end…

    But I must say, Jessica Biel looks really good – love that dress and those shoes. Feminine, different, flattering…just beautiful.

    I usually don’t comment on the fashion post but Garners shoes are hideous.

    Biehl’s bangs are so unflattering. They are so heavy and come from so far back that it gives her a pointy head. Just no. She is usually a beautiful woman. And that dress is so dated looking and mature.

    Stacy looks budget as usual.

    Jennifer looks so pretty but the dress is just blah. I agree with another poster. It looks like it would be for an office setting.

    The dress Ashley is wearing and color would have been gorgeous on Jennifer.

    I think they all look good except Jessica. Jennifer’s shoes look hideously uncomfortable, but other than that, I like the dresses (not Jessica’s..what is she thinking?)

    Is there something wrong with Stacy Kiebler’s hairline? Her hair part always looks so wrong!

    I think Jennifer Garner looks great, other than the shoes. And the dress looks taupe to me, not grey.

    Jessica’ dress looks terrible.. Think everyone attending that Studio 54 party her mom originally wore it to hurled their everloving coke minds on it!

    Ashley looks nice.. Jennifer does also. The dresses a taupe, it might have looked better gray lol..

    To the designers trying hard too hard w/ the 1980′s peplum & crap at the hips & waist.. STOP!! Some fashion faux paus are not meant to make a comeback! There is a reason it didn’t become a classic… It’s not flattering no matter how tiny one is.

    I like Ashley’s dress best with Stacy coming in second. Jennifer’s dress isn’t bad, it looks like what a high society, rich, mom of 3 would wear and that’s more her style than fashionista, so at least she looks comfortable. Jessica’s dress is hideous and her bangs look like a three year old got hold of the scissors and gave them a trim, uneven and odd.

    I think Jen Garner looks great. Ashley’s dress looks ill-fitted, I Love Jessica’s dress and hair. Stacey’s dress is nice but needed to be 2-3 inches longer. It looks like it was made for a shorter woman.

    Jennifer seems to love grey, not sure why. It does nothing for her. But her makeup is very well done. Jessica Biel’s vintage style dress is pretty on her, like the matching nail polish. The bangs though not so much….Stacy Kieber can wear a sack and look good in it.

    Her outfit doesn’t match. She has a mutilated 60s business dress on with 1970s Charlie’s Angels macrame heels. I would wear the dress to work sans peplum.

    I would wear the shoes with boot cut jeans but together – NEVER.

    However, the others look worse.

    Jennifer Garner looks so much better with weight on her face.

    Everyone else is too sad to talk about.
