They may not look like much on the show, but boy, can the girls of Girls clean up. Allison Williams led the pack in a gold Altuzarra bustier and black skirt, Fred Leighton drop earrings, and Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

It’s hard to find Emma Stone not wearing Lanvin. And this was no exception. At the Palm Springs Film Festival on Saturday, the actress wore a red, pre-fall 2013 Lanvin dress, which debuted just hours before in New York.

Look at everyone’s goofy smiles as they stare at Jessica Chastain at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards in New York on Jan. 7. But she did look good: the Best Actress nominee wore a black Oscar de la Renta 2013 pre-fall dress and Christian Louboutin heels.

Kerry Washington: another event, another spot-on dress. This time she wore a cream and white checked Louis Vuitton dress with a white headband and Christian Louboutin heels at the Rome photo call for Django Unchained.

Heidi Klum must love strange, asymmetrical dresses with lots of holes. But this one was more of a success than attempts past: it was a Julien Macdonald design, which she paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Christian Louboutin shoes and clutch.

At the 2013 National Board of Review Awards Gala on Jan. 8, Blunt looked sleek in a nude Emilio Pucci dress with slits at the shoulders and waist, Stuart Weitzman heels, and Lorraine Schwartz jewels, while her husband looked dapper in a Calvin Klein suit.

Weisz brought a touch of spring to a screening of her film The Deep Blue Sea at the Museum of Moving Image, Jan. 8, in New York. She wore a Bottega Veneta dress, Charlotte Olympia shoes, and carried a Smythson clutch.

By now Taylor Swift seems to have reduced her red-carpet appearances down to a formula: always long, always shades of white or cream—sometimes but not always with sparkles—and very little else. At the People’s Choice Awards on Wednesday in Los Angeles, Swift wore a plunging white Ralph Lauren Collection dress.

Hands in pockets is never a good way to stand. But Dunham looked great in a black Valentino jumpsuit with a white detail.

Helen Mirren looks better every time we see her. At the Palm Springs International Film Festival last weekend, she looked stunning in a red Escada Fall 2012 evening gown, David Webb jewelry, and Tory Burch clutch.

At the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Kristin Kreuk looked like an elaborate gift basket (with a blue Tiffany’s box inside?) under the Christmas tree.
