'Tis the season, and this week brought us a bevy of gorgeous celebs who took to the red carpet in some seriously festive frocks. And while there were lots of pretty looks to choose from in the Style Superstar running, there's just nothing that kicks up the holiday spirit like a luscious red dress—which is why this week's honorees are a pair of lovely ladies in red. Whose crimson look is totally crushworthy? And whose lacy look left us wanting just a smidge more bang for our fashion buck? Check it!

Kristin Cavallari was all smiles at the opening event for Rebecca Taylor's new L.A. boutique—and while some might chalk it up to her on-again engagement with boyfriend Jay Cutler, we think it was because of this spectacular dress (also by Rebecca Taylor) in a deep, delicious red. Kristin was looking atypically pale that night (we think it's the lighting), but the color is so lovely on her that it doesn't even matter! And the discreet lace paneling and tiered skirt strike the perfect, flirty note for a romantic holiday. Our gift to her: the Style Superstar title for this week!
And speaking of Christmas spirit, check out Claire Danes in this Valentino cocktail dress at the launch party for the brand's virtual museum. The all-over lace in a bright shade of red makes for one bold and beautiful look, and the cut is super-flattering on Claire's figure. The only downside: her pale lips and dull accessories are a tad tepid, especially the clunky black shoes. If she wears this dress again (and here's hoping she does!), a gold heel with a more delicate silhouette and a touch of lipstick would be the perfect winter warmer.
