Red gowns ooze sexuality, which explains why two of Hollywood’s hottest blondes, Kate Hudson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, turned out in crimson gowns for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. What’s not hot? Floor-length sleeves that double as a cape, as sported by Gillian Anderson.
Here’s who else made the best- and worst-dressed list of the week.
The hits:
Kate Hudson

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

The misses:
Gillian Anderson

China Chow

Malin Akerman

Mae Whitman

Lightning round: Sophia Bush
