Rihanna in red Calvin Klein at the GQ Men of the Year event: pretty or basic?

Here are some photos from last night’s GQ Men of the Year event. Last year, Michael Fassbender was honored as GQ’s Breakout of the Year and I was, like, counting down the days until I could see new Fassy photos. So compared to last year, my enthusiasm for this year’s GQ photo batch has definitely waned. As we discussed yesterday, GQ named Channing Tatum their “Movie Star of the Year” (Channing didn’t show), Ben Affleck was their “Filmmaker of the Year” (he came) and Rihanna is the “[Pantsless] Obsession of the Year”. Here’s Rihanna at the event – she wore a Calvin Klein minidress. I kind of like it – it’s simple and pretty. Rihanna’s hair looks different to me – are those extensions or did she grow it out and I didn’t notice?

Here’s The ‘Fleck, acting like he’s The Boss now. Like Ben thinks he’s George Clooney? You know CB is more of an Affleck fan-girl, but even she is waiting for him to self-sabotage, I think.

I guess Jenna DeWan was there representing her husband. She wore Amanda Wakeley – it’s okay. Not great.

Jennie Garth, also in red. I don’t know, y’all. I think she’s been looking like hell since she and Peter split up.

Dear Julianne Hough: Stop trying to happen!! You do look good in this Temperley suit, though. Ugh! I hate myself.

And finally, Diane Kruger in a Cushnie et Ochs dress and a Vanessa Bruno jacket. Dislike cut-out dresses in general, but Diane makes everything look like Chanel. She just makes everything look like expensive couture. It’s a gift.

    Looks like she’s wearing a slip.

    I know Rhianna dress is red, but it reminds me the naked dress of Sarah Jessica Parker… Carrie Bradshow did it better

    I see Ben left his neck at home

  4. emmie_a says:

    I love Julianne’s suit.

    And I don’t know why but I am tired of seeing Jenny Garth everywhere. She’s like the new Jennifer Hudson — getting tons of press just because she lost weight. (Yes, Jennifer does have true talent but she has even admitted that losing weight totally got her more press coverage which helped her career)

  5. erika says:

    i am SO sick and tired of seeing her naked/drunk/stoned ass everywhere my eyes are open.

    she has a death wish, she’s made that publicly known, i hope her wish comes true soon. she’s constantly playing with fire/danger because she’s ‘dangerous girl’ and i really hope she gets burned.

    i am sO sick ofher antics. no sympathy ever for her, please, get back together w/ chris brown, for real. i’ll send you some band aids.

  6. sorella says:

    Doesn’t matter what Rhianna wears (or more like doesn’t wear) anymore, she is she’s everywhere, sick of her. And her hair (extensions as her hair was short last week), looks like an overgrown mullet (her forehead is HUGE!).

    Tired of the Jilted-Jenny-Garth tour, eat something and stay home and care for your kids instead of cashing in on the breakup and weight loss.

    HATE Diane’s dress, to me it’s her hair that always ruins her looks. I appreciate she doesn’t do extensions, but poor girl has crappy, thin, awful hair and the clothes scream designer while her hairstyles scream budget.

    Julianne Hough is like a pretty painting that you can appreciate, but don’t want hanging in your home. Pretty girl, but so blank and yes NOT happening.

  7. Helene says:

    I hate the type of shoe that Jenna DeWan is wearing! It looks too small – half of her foot is “outside” the shoe. I know it’s a popular model, but I think it’s ugly.

  8. dahlianoir says:

    That’s a sleeping gown, not a dress :/ Better than pantsless anyway.

  9. ladybert62 says:

    Rhianna actually looks good here – the dress is nice. Her entire hair looks like a wig.

    Krueger looks good but I dont like her dress.

    The other dresses/outfits are awful.

  10. Happy21 says:

    I think everyone looks like crap.

    And I agree, Julianne Hough is not going to happen and she needs to go away.

  11. Dani says:

    I actually LOVE Jenna’s dress. Way better than Rihanna.

  12. J says:

    Disagree about the tank dress on Rihanna. It makes her look thick waisted which she definitely is not.

  13. Katie says:

    Julianna Hough annoys me when she speaks. Also is she trying to channel Cate blanchett?

  14. marie says:

    thank you for saying it, cause I thought I was the only one who thought Jennie Garth has been looking like crap lately, WTH is going on with her? It looks like she photoshopped her head onto someone else’s body and I thought she looked great before.

  15. pnnylne says:

    Rihanna’s “dress” looks like a camisole that I got from H&M.

  16. Riana says:

    Pretty and basic.

    It’s very understated and looks gorgeous. Yes those are extensions.

    Also Julliane looks stunning, definitely the best one at the event. As for Julliane, I’d be happy if she happened. We have a dozen or more reality tv losers who have zero skills or talent happening – might as well have someone who can do something.

  17. Naye in VA says:

    no Kaiser NO!

    It’s ALWAYS extensions. Im going assume you were being sarcastic.

  18. I.want.shoes says:

    At the risk of everyone thinking I’m just a grump, I think all of them look like crap.

    Rihanna’s covered up. That’s the only positive comment I could come up with.

  19. I'm going to Guam! says:

    Rihanna does look good here….I like this softer more feminine yet sexy look on her.
    I don’t understand why she hypersexualizes herself.
    And her skin is gorgeous.

  20. Really? says:

    Here’s my 2 cents for all it’s worth: Rihanna’s face looks gorgeous, but the dress is a bit like a nighty, albeit a CK nighty, but still, a nighty, and the only edge it inspires are bed corners, the kind you bang your shin on, not get banged in.

    I saw Jenna Dewan’s dress at Ross. Do you love it? I love it. I got it at Ross.

    Ben Affleckt is very remniscient of the Cloon Goon, therefore un-afflecktive.

    Poor Jenny Garth…what the hell is she doing? She looks like Mary Louise Parker with bleached hair. The red lips are competing with the dress. She’s unhappy and it’s clear, but the difference is that she’s not crazy, like Lohan, so rather than being a spectacle, she just appears tired and sad. If she keeps trying to regain Hollywood clout though, she will turn crazy, but it won’t be interesting.

    Kruger’s ok, but i would have preferred to see her in Hough’s bitchin’ suit. If Hough was wearing that piecemeal dress, we’d have a hey day ripping her to at least as many shreds as that dress is made of.

    There. Said it. Out.

  21. Nina says:

    Rihanna definitely strikes me as the type to die young and tragically… at least we’ll remember her beauty and talent without having to watch her get bloated and tweaked to death as she ages unattractively. On other matters, why doesn’t Jenna get a stylist and a tailor? We know her husband can afford one, even if she can’t. Why is Jennie’s dress so incredibly tacky? Diane is the ONLY person who could pull off that atrocity… so if it’s not couture, they should pull it from the racks before it starts causing car accidents. But, damn, she is gorgeous and usually has flawless style. And poor Julianne… she’s never going to have the career she wants, but she does look good here.

  22. j.eyre says:

    Rihanna looks fine – I like her shoes very much.

    I am not a Julianne fan either but I love that suit. I love feminine suits in general and that one is really nice. i was designing a tux in my head yesterday while in traffic – I may just be inspired to make in time for New Years.

  23. stephanie says:

    it looks like an old navy tank. pass.

  24. A Fan says:

    Diane Kruger looks great as usual – the outfit is sexy, interesting, unique…and isn’t try-hard.

    Jennie Garth’s hair is beyond awful. Style, color. Just awful. So is her dress. And shoes. Actually, everything about her look is awful.

    Ugh, 90s flashback.
