Who is a style queen and who should sack the stylist?
Best dressed: Ashley Greene
She stars as the fashion-obsessed Alice in the phenomenon that is the Twilight movies, and it's a real case of life imitating art for Ashley Greene, who has admitted that she's become much more sartorially aware thanks to the oh-so-stylish vamp. What a chore that must be!
But her fun (and presumably expensive) homework on how to master sexy yet classic style is certainly paying off, and we approve. We have to confess that we do love a properly glamorous look, especially one that comes with a seriously contemporary edge courtesy of very happening designer Prabal Gurung.
Sigh ...
Worst dressed: Jennie Garth
She made her name as the quintessential California blonde in the original Beverly Hills 90210, so Jennie is an old hand on the red carpet. And she was pulling out all the stops for the premiere of New Moon. After all, it was a big night for her husband Peter Facinelli, who stars in the movie.
More importantly, if you're going to describe yourself as arm candy, you need to look fabulous -- at the very least. But another F word comes to mind.
It's a shame because, in theory, this should have worked. LBD, plus blonde equals a classic look, even if it is a little bit too safe. Although the one-shouldered sequinned dress is bang up to date, its shape and length just aren't flattering to the normally svelte star making her look, dare we say it, frumpy.
Her dark eye make-up isn't helping either. Talk about night of the living dead. We suspect that this might be an ill-advised attempt to demonstrate that she plays a sexy vampire too. But it's not exactly working, is it Jennie? From the embarrassed look on your face, we think that you might just have realised that too.
