Best Bronzed Beauty: Michelle Williams

Between her defined brows, nude lips, and bronzed cheeks and lids, Williams simply glowed all the way down the red carpet.

Worst Smoky Eye: Cassie

Winged eyes are great, but with Cassie's edgy dress and 'do we'd prefer something a little less harsh to balance out her look.

Best Hollywood Glamour: Diane Kruger

Kruger's glossy waves and cherry red lips leave her looking pin-up girl perfect.

Worst Makeup: Ashley Olsen

Maybe she forgot her makeup bag on the plane? Even Ashley Olsen looked a little uninspired, especially in that French maid getup she wore to the gala.

Worst Use of Hair Accessory: Fergie

It's a good thing Fergie's dress blinded us with appliqués, otherwise her limp hair, poorly chosen headband, and orange skin would have stood out.

Best Use of Hair Accessory: Jessica Alba

Alba's hair jewels were in perfect proportion to her messy updo and blended nicely with her coloring. We love that this mama-to-be always knows how to play up her best features.

Worst Use of a Hair Accessory: Kate Hudson

We love Hudson's signature Boho waves, but with her front-and-center barrette, we can't help but feel like she's trying to cover her roots. This accessory would have been better placed in back to hold her half-up 'do together.

Best Pop of Color: Ginnifer Goodwin

Goodwin's electric blue lids stand out without clashing with the rest of her outfit. Since she kept the rest of her makeup muted she looks chic, instead of clownlike.

Best Disney Interpretation: Blake Lively

Going red is celeb fave this season, and while Lively's new hue reminds us of the Little Mermaid we give her props for matching her new color to her skin tone.

Worst Disney Interpretation: Rihanna

Side braids are a must for summer, but with this Rapunzel-esque plait Rihanna looks like she should be leaning out of a tower, instead of mingling at a cocktail party.

Best Bouffant: Sarah Jessica Parker

Channeling Audrey Hepburn, SJP's bouffant with face framing strands makes her look like one classy lady.

Worst Updo: Evan Rachel Wood

Wood's lopsided bun looks just like our nightly 'do — when we wash our face before going to bed.

Worst Use of the Color Red: Jennifer Lopez

There were a slew of red lips, dresses, and tresses on the red carpet, but Lopez takes the red velvet cake. She went primary overload with her gown, hair, shawl and lips to match that she looks more like a Crayola crayon than an A-lister.

Worst Memory: Serena Williams

Williams must have forgotten that the Royal Wedding was last weekend when she showed up with this fascinator. Oops!
