Jennifer Garner caused a few jaws to drop in Valentino at the American Cinematheque Awards. Her hair, pulled low and back, was a nice departure from the usual wavy curls that she sports. The Country Music Awards, on the other hand, brought out a host of celebrities who resembled overgrown pageant kids (“Toddlers and Tiaras,” anyone?).
The hits
Kiernan Shipka

Sarah Jessica Parker

Jennifer Garner
Getty ImagesNothing’s holding Garner back — not even her recent separation from Ben Affleck. She’s sweet and ethereal in this baby pink Valentino dress at the American Cinematheque Awards in LA.
Sofia Vergara
Pacific Coast NewsVergara never fails to serve up a big ol’ plate of sex appeal. The Colombian actress is red-hot in a Martha Medeiros Borboletas Collection gown at LA’s American Cinematheque Awards.
The misses
Katy Perry
WireImageIf this were a Halloween party — and not a charity gala — then this Batwoman costume would’ve been a hit. The pop star’s black jumpsuit might be fine on its own at the Change Begins Within Gala at Carnegie Hall, but the sleeves resemble giant bat wings.
Natalie Dormer
ZumaPressThere’s a lot happening on Dormer’s chest at the “Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2” world premiere in Berlin — and not in a good way. The way the colors are layered over one another makes her look like she’s wearing a logo.
Erika Christensen
Getty ImagesBlue looks great on Christensen — this dress, unfortunately, does not. The “Wicked City” actress arrives at the Country Music Awards looking like a literal blue ribbon. Less is more, Erika.
Miranda Lambert
Film Magic, Zuma PressThe recently divorced country singer is another Country Music Award flop. Her black dress looks like something out of the pages of an old high school yearbook — as do her pink highlights.
