It may not be the ugliest green I’ve ever seen (that would be Zhang Ziyi at the Globes), but the creases and wrinkles on Nicolette Sheridan’s mermaid dress do nothing but emphasise the wrinkles and creases on her face.

After her disastrous attempt at elegance at the Globes, Ellen Pompeo decided not to go for the doily look. Instead she looks positively exquisite in this deep burgundy dress. She’s nowhere near pretty but her hair and her makeup and her choice of gown is flawless.

In my household, we refer to Thandie Newton as ‘The Monkey’. Yep. She looked like one in Mission Impossible II and completely ruined last season’s ER for me but cover her face in this photo and she looks lovely.
