Photo by Marc Susset-Lacroix, WireImageDO: Charlize Theron was dressed to impress in a classy white cocktail dress at the Parisian premiere of Hancock.

Photo by Eamonn McCormack, WireImageDON'T: Sarah Jessica Parker's status as a style icon is in serious jeopardy ever since she showed up at the London premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie in this beret gone bad.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDO: Gossip Girl Blake Lively looked awesome in apricot at the NYC debut of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.

Photo by Dominique Charriau, WireImageDON'T: Eva Longoria Parker should have kept it sleek and slim at Cannes; however, the diminutive divas cascading tulle was an absolute catastrophe.

Photo by Tony Barson, WireImageDO: Angelina Jolie glowed in a gorgeous green Max Azria gown upon arriving at the Kung Fu Panda premiere in May.

Photo by Steve Granitz, WireImageDON'T: 34-year-old Amy Adams appeared twice her age at the Tropic Thunder fete in this mother-of-the-bride miss.

Photo by Steve Granitz, WireImageDO: Jenny McCarthy personified sophistication in a chic black dress and gorgeous heels at the Pineapple Express premiere.

Photo by Eric Charbonneau, WireImageDON'T: D-lister Bai Ling made yet another alarming fashion faux pas at the What Happens in Vegas opening thanks to this scary showgirl ensemble.

Photo by Jon Kopaloff, WireImageDO: House Bunny beauty Emma Stone was bewitching in her trademark red tresses and belted blue frock at the premiere of Pineapple Express.

Photo by Jason Merritt, Film MagicDON'T: Scarlett Johansson is undoubtedly sexy, but her hair don't and dull red dress were truly disappointing at the Vicky Cristina Barcelona debut.

Photo by Kevin Mazur, WireImageDO: Fergie's daring heels, elegant dress, and cute cropped jacket made her a style standout at the Sex and the City premiere in NYC.

Photo by Gregg DeGuire, WireImageDON'T: Katie Holmes looked painfully awkward in a two-tone halter dress and sinful shoes at the Tropic Thunder fest.

Photo by Mike Marsland, WireImageDO: Natalie Portman accentuated her gorgeous neck and shoulders in a flattering cranberry frock at the Royal London premiere of Tropic Thunder.

Photo by Tony Barson, WireImageDON'T: This summer, Julianne Moore proved that few women look yummy in yellow. The 4-time Oscar nominee disappointed in haute couture courtesy of Christian Lacroix.

Photo by Mike Marsland, WireImageDO: Gwyneth Paltrow's getup for the Iron Man premiere perplexed many, but we adored her glamorous micro mini and tailored tuxedo jacket.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDON'T: We would have preferred to see America Ferrera in a ratty pair of jeans as opposed to this New Jersey-inspired prom bomb at the Sisterhood 2 soiree.

Photo by Kevin Mazur, WireImageDO: We weren't sure if Jennifer Hudson would ever be able to recover from the python bolero debacle of '07, but the former Idol contestant delivered the goods in gold at this summers SATC premiere.

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDON'T: Will Smith nearly blinded us in the unsightly suit he adorned for the L.A. premiere of Hancock.

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDO: Will might be a mess, but his wife Jada Pinkett Smith surely knows how to dress!

Photo by Todd Williamson, WireImageDON'T: Marissa Jaret Winokur made an impression - a very bad one - in bigger than big hair and a wrinkly white dress at the WALL-E debut.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDO: Zooey Deschanel was pretty in pink upon arriving at the premiere of The Happening.

Photo by Jon Kopaloff, WireImageDON'T: Apparently Amanda Peet thought she was going to the drug store, not a movie premiere. A little more effort would have gone a long way.

Photo by Gregg DeGuire, WireImageDO: Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?! We can, and it's delish from head to toe!

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDON'T: Rumer Willis should stick to her day job as a shopaholic celebuspawn instead of dressing up in disasters like this.

Photo by Jon Kopaloff, Film MagicDO: Alicia Silverstone is far from Clueless when it comes to fashion. The actress perfectly paired this belted bubble dress with matching heels for the Pineapple Express premiere.

Photo by Jon Kopaloff, Film MagicDON'T: Salma Hayek didn't do herself any favors by hitting the red carpet in this blue bust.

Photo by Eric Charbonneau, WireImageDO: Gabrielle Union was magnificent in magenta at the Meet Dave premiere. Unfortunately, the film was a flop.

Photo by Jon Furniss, WireImageDON'T: Colin Firth looked fine, but his producer wife Livia Giuggioli was a laughing stock in her smiley face mess of a dress at the Mamma Mia! premiere in London.

Photo by Jon Furniss, WireImageDO: Unlike Livia Giuggiolo, former Mean Girl Amanda Seyfried stole the show at the premiere of Mamma Mia! in a green strapless cocktail dress and super sexy heels.

Photo by Eric Charbonneau, WireImageDON'T: Queen Latifah tends to rule the red carpet, but at the Hancock premiere she opted for an unfortunate outfit consisting of a v-neck tee, shorts, and sneakers.

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDO: Selma Blair strutted her stuff in a stylish black jumpsuit at the Hellboy II bash.

Photo by Gregg DeGuire, WireImageDON'T: Liv Tyler's barely-there blue dress was almost as bad as her summer flick, The Incredible Hulk.

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDO: Penelope Cruz looked perfect as expected while strolling down the carpet at the Vicky Cristina Barcelona premiere.

Photo by Jim Spellman, WireImageDON'T: We suppose Alan Cumming intended to leave his shirt at home. What we don't know is if he ever had any sense of style.

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDO: Penelope Cruz's main squeeze Javier Bardem kept it classy in a simple black suit at the premiere of Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Photo by Jim Spellman, WireImageDON'T: You'd think that Kim Cattrall would have attempted to impress the press at the premiere of SATC. Well, she didn't.

Photo by Gregg DeGuire, WireImageDO: House Bunny hottie Anna Faris wowed the crowd in an elegant white dress on the pink carpet.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDON'T: Sisterhood 2 costar Amber Tamblyn should have never let that dark jumpsuit see the light of day!

Photo by Mark Sullivan, WireImageDO: Christina Ricci's classy do, dress, and accessories took the checkered flag at the Speed Racer premiere.

Photo by Gregg DeGuire, WireImageDON'T: Amber Heard looked far from ferocious in this fugly frock at the House Bunny bash.

Photo by Jon Furniss, WireImageDO: Cynthia Nixon's revealing gown glittered on the SATC red carpet.

Photo by Todd Williamson, WireImageDON'T: We love Sigourney Weaver, but we can't forgive her for sporting this pair of putrid patterned pants at the WALL-E premiere.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDO: 19-year-old Zoe Kravitz popped a pose in an age-appropriate dress and hot pink heels at the NYC premiere of Elegy.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDON'T: Sex and the City costumer Patricia Field proved once again that perhaps not all fashion designers should style themselves.

Photo by Stephen Lovekin, Getty ImagesDO: Many of you might consider this ensemble a fashion faux pas, but trust us. Anytime Mary-Kate Olsen doesn't don a flannel shirt sans pants, she impresses us. You go girl!

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDON'T: Hopefully former Family Ties fox Justine Bateman wasn't too proud of this peacock predicament.

Photo by Jim Spellman, WireImageDO: Model-turned actress Joy Bryant lit up the room while sashaying to the Iron Man premiere in classic gray trousers and a fetching fuchsia jacket.

Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris, WireImageDON'T: Mischa Barton continued to disappoint in a frilly frock that did absolutely nothing for her figure at the premiere of The Happening.

Photo by John Shearer, WireImageDO: Ex-Baywatch babe Brooke Burns caused a commotion in a belted peacock blue frock at the What Happens in Vegas premiere.

Photo by Jon Kopaloff, Film MagicDON'T: Ruins costars Jena Malone and Laura Ramsey ruined any chances of making the best dressed list thanks to these atrocious ensembles.
