Last night, Elle hosted its 20th annual Women in Hollywood Celebration, an event that does the very important and necessary job of celebrating women in Hollywood (as you could likely infer from the evening’s title). Many amazing, smart, talented, and inspiring women were in attendance; looking through the guest list is enough to give even the most cynical heart hope for the future of women in the entertainment industry.
Let’s take a look at what they were wearing on the red carpet:
Let’s start with some good: sleek white ensembles with cutouts were a good thing tonight. Scandal‘s Darby Stanchfield looked very elegant; Lea Michele stunned in a Calvin Klein experimental-bustier-cum-cutout-dress, and Naya Rivera sported a low cut Pamella Roland suit with beaded honeycomb-pattern sleeves.
Radiant in red: Reese Witherspoon oozed understated glamor in a Calvin Klein collection dress; Emmy Rossum opted for an embroidered halter gown, which is maybe too much — especially with the red shoes; and Jessica Pare also went the way of “understated glamor in a Calvin Klein collection dress.”
Doing white right: Caitlin Fitzgerald in ornate white embroidery; Deception‘s Meagan Good drips with fringe; and Kat Graham from the Vampire Diaries pairs a white crop top with lucite heels and a slinky around her neck. I really like it.
