Scarlett Johansson, we get it: You're in a noirish film (Frank Miller's The Spirit) and broke out the era-appropriate threads for the launch party. But upholstery should stay on the furniture. You're sexy enough without the pattern!

Eva Mendes, who costars alongside ScarJo inThe Spirit, brought the red carpet back to 2008 in a sexy, strapless dress that had some flair…but not too much. Plus, the shoes (is that Louboutin red we spy?) complete the package with edgy glamour.

Christina Aguilera saunters into the Grammy Nominations Concert Live! in L.A. with a polished 'do and a gown that ends like a sack. Aguilera has a knack for sporting divergent styles at the same time, and Wednesday night she reprised her signature dissonance with flair.

Country fave Taylor Swift finds the right balance of elegance and fun in this chic little one-shouldered dress and pair of silver shoes. With her hands on her hips, Swift looked ready for anything...except being overlooked by this year's Grammy nominations.

Kate Winslet is living out her Hollywood bombshell phase in a va-va-voom, V-neck dress alongside Ralph Fiennes, who also got glam with a silk tie and kerchief. The pair gussied up for the premiere of their new film, The Reader, a drama about a man's lifelong obsession with an older woman.

That mischievous Lucy Liu softens her look in a blue gown which, it seems, she intended to match both the carpet and the arrivals backdrop. The Dirty Sexy actress was attending UNICEF's Snowflake Ball in New York.

Lena Olin goes for the gold in a sparkly frock at The Reader premiere in NYC. The former Alias beauty stars in the new film alongside Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes.

Debra Messing accessorizes with a huge grin at the premiere of Nothing Like the Holidays, her new seasonal film. Striding across the carpet with swaths of billowy fabric at her hips, Messing proved she's a fashion anomaly by managing to pull it all off.

Oprah Winfrey and Susan Taylor take on some swaths of their own at a celebration of Taylor's 37 years at the helm of Essence Magazine. Oprah assumes a stately look, while Taylor maintains her status as a fashion icon in a striking orange gown.

Evan Rachel Wood has been slammed elsewhere for this particular outfit, but we're not so opposed. Finally, she's got some loose red locks going on and the soft glamour of a satin dress evocative of vintage Dior. Losing the goth look has been good to her.

Six Feet Under alum Patricia Clarkson pops in this sleek, hot-pink dress. The actress, who recently appeared in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, was attending the 8th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York.

Speidi strikes again! The newlyweds hit the red carpet at Cedar-Sinai's Road To a Cure Gala, and took the opportunity to show off their brand-new matrimonial rings. A cute move, or totally tacky (we're not talking about her dress now)? You make the call.

Rachel Weisz assumes a sophisticated, European look with asymmetrical stripes and fiery lips. The actress glammed up for the 18th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards.

It's family time for the DeVito clan at the premiere of Nobel Son in L.A. Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman and their daughter, Lucy DeVito. Danny appears in the film with stars including Eliza Dushku, Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman.

Sandra Oh has never been one to shy away from fashion risks, and this past week was no exception. The Grey's star went Grecian in her look for the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards nominations press conference. Let's just leave the hair alone.

It takes a son with a heart of gold to publicly sign a parent-teen driving contract for the cameras (or maybe the promise of a new Benz?). Vanessa Williams and her dapper son, Devin Hervey, pose together at the auto insurance event.

Nickelodeon darling Drake Bell gets decked out in geek chic for the premiere of Merry Christmas Drake & Josh.
