Best of 2008: Red Carpet - Part II

Here are the Top Five Red Carpet looks of the year...

5: Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana at the Costume Institute Party of the Year

ScarJo (yep, I like these celeb nicknames) is the epitome of the blonde bombshell, and she always makes sure to dress the part when making a public appearance.

She arrived at this event with both Mr. Dolce and Mr. Gabbana by her side wearing, what else, than one of the designers' creations.

This little nude number is perfect because it combines cute and sexy, with the tulle bottom-half and the structured bustier, which gives a lot of va-va-voom.

Paired with nude pumps, this look is close to flawless.

I especially love how the dress is such a neutral tone. If it were red or black or blue, it would just be a little too much.

4: Jessica Biel in Dior at the BAFTA's

You don't ordinarily see Ms. Biel all glamed up for an event - usually she opts for a rather boring and safe look.

But this... This Dior gown is just beyond brilliant.

It's so very simple, but totally effective. This is actually something I would excpect of Angelina Jolie.

This strapless dress that has a bit of a train, combined with a gorgeous Cartier bracelet, is all one needs to look completely hot at an awards show.

3: Kate Hudson in Balmain at the SAG Awards

I'm going to just put it out there: I'm like in love with Kate Hudson.

Let me tell you why.

When other people show up on the Red Carpet, they usually wear these prom dress-inspired ball gowns. Now, that's not a bad thing, but it's always refreshing to see something a little different (and I am NOT talking about Björk's swan outfit).

Here Kate is in all her hippie glory, looking a lot like her mum actually.

This empire waisted Balmain dress is bohemian-chic, but still remains elegant and classy.

I just love it.

2: Heidi Klum in John Galliano at the Academy Awards

Heidi has had a ravishing year when it comes to her sense of style, and when she showed up at the Oscars wearing this custom designed gown by John Galliano, all I could do was applaude her.

It's a bit on the theatrical side, but her, if you're not allowed to wear a slightly over-the-top dress at the Oscars, then where (again, still not talking about you Björk)?

A beautiful structure, an eye-catching colour... Ah. All I can say is: Well done Heidi. A+

1: Kate Bosworth in Chanel Haute Couture at the Costume Institute Party of the Year

Surprising, isn't it? That the hottest Red Carpet look of the year isn't some big dress, with poofy ribbons everywhere that's supposed to make a statement.

I guess there's a lesson to learn here: less is always more.

Kate added a splash of colour to the Red Carpet in this gorgeous Chanel dress and sandal heels.

The dress puts the LBD to shame!

I just love it beyong words.

It's indescribable.

So I'm going to stop trying to describe its brilliance.

The dress speaks for itself.

Rock on.
