DISTINCTION
BEYONCE
British Academy Film Awards in London
Gown: Vrettos Vrettakos
It was love at first sight with this glittering, curve-hugging emerald green stunner fit for a Queen (Bey). Luxe, dazzling and oh-so-divalicious, it's got to be one of the US pop star's career-best looks.

LUPITA NYONG'O
British Academy Film Awards in London
Gown: Christian Dior
Now THIS is why I live for awards season. The Kenyan starlet slayed in this classic strapless green gown, punched up with a gold metal belt and matching cuffs. She should've saved this for the Oscars though, because I can't imagine anything else topping it.

CARINA LAU
Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin
Dress: Ralph & Russo
That gargantuan silk organza bow would look downright ridiculous on anyone. But by some miracle, the Hong Kong actress effortlessly pulled off this breathtaking, unique and expertly-crafted dusty pink lace cocktail dress that exudes just the right amount of drama.

LILY ALLEN
British Academy Film Awards in London
Gown: Vivienne Westwood
It's so rare to see the British singer wearing colour - or a sartorial acid trip done right. Bright orange on top of hot pink, with a quirky neon pink feathered hairpiece to boot, is long-overdue compensation. Welcome back, all is forgiven.

KYLIE MINOGUE
British Academy Film Awards in London
Dress: William Wilde
Wrapping oneself in unforgiving latex at the age of 45 is either an act of bravery or stupidity.
Luckily for the forever-young Australian singer, her kinky risk paid off. Doesn't she look every bit the temptress, even with an oversized bow across her chest?

ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY
British Academy Film Awards in London
Dress and shoes: Saint Laurent
I'm totally digging the disco-glam 80s vibe of the British model's red-and-black sequined zebra print micro-mini. Oh, the sculpted padded shoulder details are my weakness.

BARELY PASS
ELLIE GOULDING
British Academy Film Awards in London
Gown: Vivienne Westwood
Every girl may want a princess moment, but it doesn't mean every girl can. Alas, Brit singer Goulding is that girl. The usually edgy dresser appears to have been forced at gunpoint into this uncharacteristically girly, frothy pastel pink and white taffeta-and-tulle corset ballgown that came right out of a Disney cartoon. Too bad no one's gonna buy it.

OLGA KURYLENKO
Elle Style Awards in London
Dress: Isabel Marant
The invasion of the body snatchers is happening right here - an alien lifeform has obviously possessed the elegant French actress. Her dated embellished LBD belongs in a figure-skating competition, and that high chunky plait on a five-year-old.

FAIL
JESSIE J
Elle Style Awards in London
Dress and boots: Tom Ford
The British singer's pink body-con micro-mini featuring swirling cut-outs is hardly a fail, but those thigh-high boots laced so high she's probably still taking them off now are so hideous even strippers wouldn't touch them with a long pole.
