After all the great fashion on display at the Emmy Awards, the rest of Hollywood's most fashionable ladies had some tough standards to live up to this week. Some succeeded brilliantly; some missed the mark. Whose embellished party dress added the perfect glitzy kick to her red-carpet appearance? And whose feathered hemline tripped up her usually-impeccable style? Check it.
We almost overlooked Taylor Swift in the running for this week's Style Superstar—after all, it's not like we haven't seen the girl in a dozen frocks similar to this one. But y'know, there's a reason why Taylor so often opts for short, spangled dresses in champagne-y shades: They look fabulous on her! And this Elie Saab cocktail dress, which she wore to the ACM Honors this week, is a winner in every way. The sequined accents are gorgeous and keep an otherwise bland beige from washing out Taylor's pale complexion, and her red lips and sleek hairstyle set off the glam perfectly. And while it may be small potatoes after winning the ACM Entertainer of the Year Award earlier this year, we'd still like to congratulate Taylor on being this week's Style Superstar!
Meanwhile, another embellished dress caught our eye at the Macy's launch event for Pulse perfume... but not in a good way. Beyoncé usually nails it with fitted floor-length gowns, but this Lanvin number just hangs like wet laundry and then ends in a confusing mess of feathers. It might be that the mama-to-be is struggling to adapt her signature style to accommodate her growing bump—but even for a non-pregnant lady, this dress would be tough to pull off anywhere but on the catwalk.
