Julia Roberts

Julia was being honored on this evening, and she looks as though she arrived and the entire photo pit asked her to recite Beowulf in the original Old English. It was not this way in every photo, but it was definitely more common than not.

Julia Roberts

I assume that's Givenchy, given that she wears a lot of that brand? Who knows. This is fine, but I sometimes wish Julia tried a little harder. I get that she's doing the Fame Isn't Really My Jam But Okay I'm Here vibe, but like, it's okay to care, and brush your hair, and get dolled up and enjoy being an honoree.

Connie Britton

Or, maybe the dress code was Pizza Widow.

Kate Hudson in David Koma

This is the laziest thing ever -- and the most predictable. This feels like SUCH a callback to another Kate Hudson gown that we didn't like. I mean, I guess if she's going to shoplift, it's less morally complicated to do it from herself, but... it's also not like she just bought a skirt and threw on a strapless bra with it. The designer showed it this way. If he set a trap, then he sure baited it correctly.  

Heidi Klum in Ralph & Russo

... but does she NEED the neck fascinator?

Dita von Teese in Ulyana Sergeenko

Meanwhile, Dita Von Teese looks like a fruit that's being slowly peeled.

Fergie

I mean, sure, but this ALSO feels a little like it's bored of itself.  

Mia Maestro

"Yes, it's true. I did make my sleeves from the veils of two doomed brides."  

Victoria Justice in PatBo

But THAT is beautiful, and her makeup is flawless.  

Diane Sawyer

Diane also looks great, but that's daytime face if ever I've seen it.   

Melanie Griffith, Goldie Hawn

More black dresses, more people who look... pretty much fine. I actually think Goldie might look better than almost anyone.

Cara Santana in Monique Lhuillier

More effort that I appreciate! Though I can't decide if I love it, or find it a little bit Portrait of the Artist's Unshaven Shin. Or both.  

Sistine Rose Stallone in PatBo

I am sort of exhausted by having to find a way to describe my feelings about YET ANOTHER of these kinds of dresses.

Sophia Bush

I wholly appreciate the red accessories, but the rest of the outfit is profoundly unflattering to her. WHY would she do this to herself.

Michelle Rodriguez

And then: lovely, but also, stick a Goth deep lip on this, Michelle.

Ashley Greene

And where did her mouth go? Most of these slides are a few too many degrees wonky.

Natasha Bedingfield

BIG FINISH. Natasha, I'm so happy for you two, but: Based on that bodice I think your swaddling technique needs some work.

There Was a Lipstick Shortage at amfAR This Weekend

Also, a surprise ending to this slideshow.
