i really liked the white/silver gowns worn by christina applegate, becki newton, ashley tisdale and brittany snow
christina applegate in an elie saab fall 2007 couture gown with neil lane jewelry
becki newton in an elsie katz spring 2008 couture gown with jewelry from leviev and bochic
ashley tisdale in a badgley mischka spring 2008 rtw gown
brittany snow in a zuhair murad fall 2007 pret a porter gown with neil lane jewelry
and there were some i didn't like so much ...
eva longoria parker in a naeem khan spring 2008 gown and verdura jewelry
marion cotillard in a modified nina ricci spring 2008 rtw gown and chopard jewelry
holly hunter [EDIT:] in what i think is a vera wang resort 2008 gown based on her history with the designer as well as the grey belt and draping of the gown
bold colors also seemed to be popular on the red carpet
rebecca gayheart popped in a red marchesa gown resort/spring 2008 gown
i happened to like sandra oh's hanbok-style gown by kim me hee. it's different and i kinda like the volume, especially since we all already know how skinny sandra is
marcia cross in a monique lhuillier pre-fall 2008 gown embellished with a lorraine schwartz brooch
america ferrara also (though more muted, almost like a dyed bridal gown) in a monique lhuillier gown with lorraine schwartz jewelry
one bold color i think didn't work, though, was yellow
vanessa williams in an escada summer 2008 gown with fred leighton jewelry
kate beckinsale in a luisa beccaria spring 2008 rtw gown in an unflattering (and i thought she could never look bad) shade of yellow with van cleef & arpels vintage jewelry
