School of frock: Jessica Chastain reigns supreme

JESSICA CHASTAIN

The Huntsman: Winter's War premiere in Los Angeles

Gown: Altuzarra

Rating: A-

Loving the subtle shades of green and the sequin embellishments against her colouring and fiery locks. It's gothic, romantic, medieval, even ethnic - all things to all people, really. Chastain may not be playing the queen in the fairy tale flick but she definitely dethrones co-stars Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt off-screen.

Delevingne thrives on delivering edge and may be the only person on the planet who can make a weird black velvet sheer-panelled ensemble like this so painfully cool.

Yes, because KimK of all people needs an obvious white patch on her outfit to remind people how huge and wide her hips are.

Dress: Alessandra Rich

For a former Miss Universe, this crime against fashion is unpardonable. The whole top is one knot away from falling apart.

WHO WORE IT BETTER?

Short suits have no business on red carpets, whether they're black, white, simply to show off long legs or are immaculately tailored. It's just plain lazy. Will it hurt Roberts to don a gown once in a while? Will it kill Aniston to deviate from her basic black wardrobe? Even though the latter has been getting away with boring-as-hell variations of the black tuxedo romper and is giving me a big dose of deja vu, it's still better than Roberts' hopeless, stiff attempt.
