Jennifer Hudson was simple chic and looking amazing in a Victoria Beckham Spring 2010 LBD.

There was plenty of old Hollywood-type glamour on the red carpet, but Jennifer Nettles stood out in a vibrant pink modern gown.

Rihanna once again proves that drama in fashion doesn’t have to preclude elegance. She shines in an Elie Saab Couture gown.

Keri Hilson seems to have regained her stride after a few red carpet missteps. She looks stunning in her mermaid gown and her hair and makeup are perfection.

Katy Perry showed evidence of her recently trip to India by sporting a bindi with her sparkly gown. With that Judith Leiber clutch and the plunging back, you’d think the ensemble would be OTP but it work out for a nice glamourous balance.

Katy Perry looked great in an off-beat Viktor & Rolf gown while hosting the MTV Europe Music Awards (although I wish they’d done something different with her hair). The bodice of the dress, from Spring 2010, is just pretty enough to allow for the quirky skirt, whose voids carved from layer upon layer of chiffon kinda make me itch.

Kudos to Katy for taking a fashion risk with this dress. And by risk I mean wearing something that covers her crotch. I will be sooo glad when this cult-forsaken pantless trend is over with!

Until further notice. In fact, I think I must of jumped the gun and bestowing icon status in the first place. A few successful red carpets does not an icon make. My mistake. These days it looks like Perry is take a page from the ever-costumed, pants-hating Lady Gaga. Not good, Katy. Not good at all.

And Perry would do well give those nether regions a bit of a breather now and then… as evidenced by the distressed look on her face in the left most photo. After several weeks on the road and at festivals, it could use some air, sugar. Flouncy A-line skirt anyone?

Katy Perry vs. Nicky Hilton in Matthew Williamson for H&M peacock dress.

It’s not really a fair fight, considering Katy Perry’s status as a Cult icon. She’s the clear winner, with accessories that compliment the dress, rather than doggedly match it, as do Hilton’s blue shoes and peacock clutch.

Nicky Hilton does, however, win in the hair and makeup department by a thin margin. The softer face and braided hair are a good foil to the razzle dazzle of the dress.
