Kim Basinger arrived at the screening of Grudge Match on December 16 in a full-on pin-striped suit—tie, pocket chain, and all. Did Kim make the men's look sleek with her slicked back pony and bright red lip? Or did it look like she's been shopping in the wrong department?

You're about 25 years too late to the party, Juliette. The actress arrived at the premiere of August: Osage County on December 16 wearing a strapless, lavender organza gown by Monique Lhullier, black Brian Atwood heels, and a crown. The prom look just isn't cutting it.

Kristen Wiig's dress to the Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues premiere on December 15 looked like a mismatch of fabrics. Between the lavender, salmon, and embellishments, this dress was just a bit too risky to pull off.
