Here we have a few more women from the amfAR gala. (Some of our earlier coverage is here.) I’m not a big follower of fashion, and I’ll be honest I don’t know a lot about designers. Even I could ID this horrible see-through number as Marchesa on first glance. This is not cute, it’s not cheeky, and it looks like a bad excuse for a sexy bridal dressing gown. There are multiple see-through layers to this asymmetric dress, it’s got lace strategically placed to cover up Klum’s lady bits, and it just looks awful. I know Klum likes to push the fashion envelope, but it baffles me that anyone could step out of the house like this. The Fashion Patrol has a photo of this on the runway, and the dress doesn’t even look good on the model. I’ll say something nice, but not about this dress – she looked much, much better at The Paperboy premiere, where she was also wearing Marchesa and had the foresight to wear her hair half-down. It just looks greasy here.

Look you can see her undies from the side.

As a counterpoint, I’ll include Nina Dobrev in an amazing blue sequin off the shoulder Elie Saab. I wanted to headline this story with Nina, because I just love to see her on the red carpet. Nina looking killer is not news though. (Neither is Heidi looking fug, but still.) I admire how Nina, just 23, seems so in control of her fashion. She switches up her look frequently, and she doesn’t seem to have a go-to designer or a comfort zone that she falls back on. I could gush about Nina for a while. I even like her slicked back hair here, it emphasizes her features. Look at that slit. It’s just high enough to be incredibly sexy, without the danger of showing too much. Those silver strappy Jimmy Choo heels are perfect.

Here’s Kylie Minogue looking off her game in red Emilio Pucci. I don’t like the cut or style of the dress, which is slightly unflattering from some angles. From the side it’s really striking, but the dress does seem a little weird with all those cut-out areas along with the squarish deep neckline. It’s a risky look and she seems uncomfortable.

Also in red we have Petra Nemcova, and I feel confident guessing that this is also Marchesa, since Petra wears that label consistently. I’m torn because I love the color and fit of the dress, but find it uninspired with that single detail of feathers around the bodice. Petra pulls it off with attitude, a sleek up-do, and a really amazing necklace. I wonder how many carats she has around her neck. Those silver bow shoes are goofy, though, and she shouldn’t be showing them off.

There’s a reason Michelle Rodriguez plays the army chick in every movie. Even when she’s dripping in beautiful diamonds and wearing a perfectly lovely formfitting fishtail gown, she still looks like she’s about to kick your ass. I like how her personality shines through on the red carpet, though. She’s true to herself and it shows.
