Green Style: "Sex and the City" is over, but Carrie Bradshaw's love of couture lives on in Sarah Jessica Parker, who takes a fashion gamble in a drop-waisted Oscar de la Renta tiered gown at a New York City ballet bash. Does it pay off? Let's just say she breaks even. On anyone else, the bright green boat-necked dress might look like a costume, but on the consistently chic Parker, it works -- kinda. Unfortunately, her gravity-defying helmet hair looks like it came straight from a rerun of "Rhoda," and pushes what should have been a lovely spring look into over-the-top sitcom mode.
How to Lose a Thigh in 10 Days: New moms still struggling to lose their baby weight can take comfort in knowing that it took many a grueling daily training session for Kate Hudson to drop the pounds she put on while pregnant with son Ryder. At the New York premiere of "Raising Helen," the adorable actress proudly shows off her hard-won slimline figure in curve-hugging Gucci. The zip-up off-the-shoulder long-sleeve black dress is just the thing for hiding any lingering imperfections, but seems a strange and unnecessary choice for the healthy- and happy-looking Hudson, who we hope will quickly return to the fun, flirty frocks she favored before she became a mom
Black Beauties: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston defy the rumormongers by looking cozy if slightly self-conscious at the "Troy" premiere. Gorgeous Brad has us swooning with his impeccably cut black suit and matching shirt. Unlike many leading men in Hollywood, the megastar still sports a strong hairline, and his close-cropped locks make him look much younger than his 40 years. Our only quibble: his silver necklace, which cheapens an otherwise classic line. Jen, however, is a snooze in floor-length black Alberta Ferretti, which highlights (as always) her ultra-toned arms and acres of cleavage. Maybe she was trying not to overshadow Brad, but we think that when the fate of a $175 million movie is resting on your hubby's oh-so-buff shoulders, it's time to break out the big guns, sartorially speaking, of course.
Bad Nude: There's no doubt Cameron Diaz possesses an effortless beauty, but that doesn't mean the $20 million-a-movie star can just throw on anything and look stunning. Case is point: Cameron's multi-colored mish-mash of an ensemble at the "Shrek 2" premiere. The bombshell's below-the knee, hippie-looking Zac Posen A-line skirt and flats are all wrong for her leggy frame, while her nude-colored Alexander McQueen corset not only washes her out, but also seems a wee bit inappropriate for a kiddie-packed event. Toss in her poufy, pulled-back hair and shiny gold purse and you've got a look that couldn't even be saved by a fairy godmother wielding a copy of Vogue.
Stripe Out: Paging Alicia Keys. Paula Abdul called -- she wants her clothes back. While we could go for an easy "what's black and white and red/read all over?" joke here, we'll control ourselves long enough to wonder -- straight up now -- what the heck the chart-topping chanteuse was thinking when she donned these disastrous duds. From her Paula-inspired pimpalicious fedora to the Fonzie-lite leather jacket to her bracelet-sized earrings, Alicia is rapidly fallin' in our fashion estimation.
Common Treads: It's nice that Alicia Silverstone is a friend to the animals, choosing to wear only vegan-friendly clothes, but her good intentions are putting her in a fashion pickle. The cutie pie actress unwisely covers up her fabulous figure by modeling the latest in recycled tire wear, sporting bulky, quilted, faux leather pants that have unhappily unearthed long-suppressed memories of her widely reviled rubber Batgirl outfit. As for Alicia's too-short jean jacket and hastily styled hair, we're just gonna have to guess she's, uh, clueless.
When You Dish Upon a Star: Mike Myers obviously didn't spend any of the $10 million he pocketed for "Shrek 2" updating his wardrobe. The funnyman hits the film's premiere wearing clothes seemingly inspired by one of his animated co-stars. No, not Prince Charming -- Pinocchio. Yup, Mike looks like he's finally become a real boy in his too-narrow, bunchy pants (we'll bet even money the belt came already attached), mismatched jacket, and "My First Trip to the Barber" haircut. It's a look only Geppetto -- and maybe Princess Fiona -- could love.
Tara Gets Something Off Her Chest: If love really is war, as Tara Reid's T-shirt proclaims, then she's racked up quite a few casualties. At a Sony Playstation promotional party, the tabloid-magnet party girl looks all set for a day at the mall in hip-bone-baring, painted-on jeans, a sparkly belt, super-snug tank, and blindingly blonde locks. Tara, sweetie, this is not an ensemble that says "serious actress." You never see, say, Nicole Kidman or Renee Zellweger sporting this déclassé look, which might be why they attend the Oscars and you're stuck on the red carpet stumping for Sony.
Racy & Lacey: As part of our continuing effort to individualize the mini-moguls formerly known as the Olsen twins, we've decided to ditch a pic of the duo in favor of one featuring only Ashley, who hits the "Troy" red carpet wearing the world's biggest doily. The blonder and less scarily thin Olsen looks like she's on her way to a Victorian prom in this lace number with an asymmetrical hemline, which she pairs with gold open-toed shoes and a too casual beige bag. Besides her petite gams, Ashley actually has very little skin on display, despite the peek-a-boo nature of this, oh, let's say dress. Still, it feels somehow wrong even looking, perhaps because it doesn't seem that long ago that Bob Saget was cradling her in his arms on "Full House." Ew, did anyone else just go to a scary visual place?

I do like SJP's shoes though!
