The Queen of Black and White, Rooney Mara, opted for a dash of sparkle at the Her premiere this week—in a dress from the Proenza Schouler Spring Summer 2014 collection. Of course, Rooney being Rooney, there was a peek of midriff.

Newcomer Lupita Nyong’o took a turn on the red carpet at the premiere of 12 Years A Slave at the Directors Guild of America in California. She looked chic in a dress straight off Miu Miu’s Spring 2014 runway—a show where, incidentally, she sat front-row.

It’s a far cry from Glee: Dianna Agron looked stunning in a boat-neck black dress with white accents at the shoulders. She work the piece from Valentino’s Fall 2013 collection, along with Louis Vuitton heels, at the Paris premiere of her new film, The Family, this week.

This belted sweater and skirt combination looked great in Gucci’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection, but it didn’t translate to the red carpet on opening night of A Night With Janis Joplin, where Jenny McCarthy butchered it with a pair of clunky black gloves.
