OLIVIA WILDE (A-)

Premiere of Race in New York City

Gown: Dolce & Gabbana

Sure, this is yet another romantic boho black sheer gown embroidered with a garden full of roses and daisies, but my inner botanist can't argue with Wilde's pretty presentation.

Sports Illustrated Celebrates Swimsuit 2016 event in New York City

KATY PERRY (D)

The Creators Party presented by Spotify in Los Angeles

Top and pants: Dolce & Gabbana

Shoes: Christian Louboutin

ROSARIO DAWSON (F)

Opening Ceremony after party at New York Fashion Week in New York City

Jumpsuit: Opening Ceremony

Somewhere out there, Old MacDonald is having a giggle fit.

DAKOTA JOHNSON

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD

Clive Davis & The Recording Academy's 2016 Pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles, Feb 14

"It's always not glamorous when you go home at the end of the night. You really do feel like you go from Cinderella to a pumpkin - in the best way."
