Adams looks stunning in this pink belted column gown. The softly ruched sleeves and side-swept hair give this look a 1940s feel, but the colour keeps it modern.

Wearing a Valentino gown at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan 12
The American Hustle actress wore the heck out of the 1970s plunging neckline in the film and she continues dominating that look with this beautifully simple two-tone dress.
Sandra Bullock, 49
Wearing a Lanvin dress at the Critics' Choice Awards
The deep purple hue and all-over ruffles on this gown give the Gravity actress a softer silhouette. It is nicely balanced with her sleek straight hair and smoky eye make-up.

A metallic green palette and a bow-like twist at the waist could be a recipe for disaster, but Bullock averts it. In fact, she looks great in this number, with the softer draping flattering her streamlined figure.

A black column gown is in danger of becoming boring, but the slightly asymmetrical neckline, high slit and matte sheen - combined with a deep red lip - make the outfit look sultry instead.
Lupita Nyong'o, 30
Wearing a Gucci gown at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Colour is really the style tool of choice for the 12 Years A Slave actress. This turquoise column gown with floral neckline, and echoed in her eye shadow, really pops.

Nyong'o's athletic figure is shown off to perfection in this bandeau-style white dress. The cut-outs provide visual interest without weighing the outfit down.

All sparkle, all the time, may be Mirren's mantra. The sheer arms of this embellished gown show off her fantastic shape
Cate Blanchett, 44
Wearing an Armani Prive gown at the Golden Globe Awards
The Blue Jasmine star has the statuesque beauty and fashion-forward style to carry off couture creations like this layered gown with a low back.
She looks practically ethereal, an other-worldly being draped in lace.

Emilia Clarke, 26
Wearing a Proenza Schouler gown at the Golden Globe Awards
The Game Of Thrones actress was one of the few stars to play with an interesting texture on the red carpet this year.

This rose-gold number ripples like molten silk and fits like a second skin on Clarke, who smartly keeps the rest of her look simple.
Taylor Swift, 24
Wearing a Carolina Herrera gown at the Golden Globe Awards
Playing up her favourite girly, retro-inspired style, the pop singer really works this two-tone dress. It fits perfectly and looks sweet without being saccharine.

Fun, sexy, sparkly, sleek. Swift hits all the right fashion notes with this short-sleeved crystal-embellished number. At an event where people tend to go too far with their dressing, she goes just far enough.
Elisabeth Moss, 31
Wearing a J. Mendel dress at the Golden Globe Awards
This was a fashion risk for the Mad Men actress, but it paid off. The paillettes and sheer overlay give this interesting cap-sleeved silhouette a bit of an edge and separate her from the sea of voluminous gowns.
Wearing a Michael Kors gown at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Effortless. That best describes how Moss looks in this simple gown with the sweetheart neckline. The red colour, silhouette and contrasting belt are all very flattering.
