HATE IT:

Anne, why do you do this? You know people don't like you as it is. Why exacerbate the situation by wearing tangled trawler nets and black mesh shoes!? HIDEOLA.

HATE IT:

This is so close to great - but that cleavage is just a little too porn star for this to earn a pass. Sorry Amy.

HATE IT:

Here's the thing, I've seen the show, I know Kim Kardashian owns plenty of mirrors. So how she ends up leaving the house in this is beyond me.

HATE IT:

Okay, so hate is a strong word. But the more I look at this, the more I dislike it. The dress is close to being great - if the neckline was about an inch lower. But that necklace is all wrong - and her hair is straggle central. Meh.

RATE IT:

Selena Gomez proves life without Bieber is a whole lot shinier than with him. Gomez is bringing some serious glamour to the red carpet with this frock. Top marks.

RATE IT:

Kate Hudson looks picture perfect in this pale pink, shimmering gown. It's refined and almost regal. We love. Best dressed of the week.

WHAT THE...!?

Yes, that is a dress designed to look like a giant chocolate wrapper twisted around China Chow's torso. We can only hope it's some sort of guerrilla marketing campaign - because if you're not being paid to look that stupid, you're beyond stupid.
