Who is a style queen and who should sack the stylist?

Best dressed: Thandie Newton

In a word, wow! Say what you like about Thandie Newton and her penchant for turning up at the opening of a champagne bottle, but she certainly uses every trick in her arsenal to stun her audience.

Well, she is a Bond girl, y'know!

She's not afraid to take a risk on an up-and-coming designer either, and this time it's Prabal Gurung (remember the name). Here she is looking stunning at the LA premiere of 2012.

It may be a disaster movie but there's no sign of any impending doom on the red carpet thanks to this perfect blend of sexiness and style. We're impressed (yet again!).

Worst dressed: Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone has certainly got chutzpah, and bags of it. There aren't many 51-year-olds who'd be happy to pose topless for Paris Match, never mind admit that they're still looking for old-fashioned love after three divorces. But then the actress has never been afraid to shock. Just take a look at this truly scary reptile print gown.

Oh Sharon, we know that you have no shame, but even you must know that this is a BIG mistake. The red eyes are a dead giveaway. No more tears, Ms Stone, be strong, and next time, try for slinky and sexy. We think it might suit your inimitable style that little bit more.
