These ladies opted for a shocking blue hue to grace the red carpet and it was a nice change from all the black and white gowns. So who made it brilliant and who made it dreadful?

Penelope Ann Miller, David Meister

Judging by the horizontal tug of war going on across her body, the seams on this dress are struggling to keep her in it. Not to mention it wreaks of late 80s / early 90s. 

Jane Lynch, David Meister

We all know Jane is not the fashion forward type which is why she sticks with this style of gown. Though I am bored with seeing her in the Jane Lynch uniform at every awards show, the style suits her and I can’t complain. It’s perfectly hemmed and the color is fantastic on her.

Jessica Chastain, Calvin Klein

Beautiful color with her hair. The simplicity is quite stark and the lower bustline raised many an eyebrow. Smaller busted women can wear necklines this low without it looking gratuitous. The one thing she needed to change was the jewelry. While beautiful, it wasn’t suitably age appropriate. A beautiful dangle earring in a longer length swinging about her face would have been lovely.
