This week in celebrity frocks

In this week's red carpet roundup, Lily Collins is a green goddess, Elle Fanning makes it work and a Bond girl takes cutouts too far. By Suzanne Winterflood.

Our girl crush is crushing it in crushed velvet. Yes, I actually wrote that sentence. Actress Sarah Paulson is so awesome, she's just become the first person to win all five major TV awards in one year, and she's always a boldly stylish presence on the red carpet. When she decides to go to the Producers Guild Awards in a Maison Margiela frock involving dodgy fabric, a challenging colour and a cartoonishly oversized belt buckle, all we can do is bow down in respect.

British baking goddess Mary Berry gives us a masterclass in how to bring some pizzazz to a classic Adrianna Papell gown. Adorably, the robin egg blue matches her eyes, and the sequins match her award. Fun Mary Berry fashion quote: "If I had fantastic legs, I might wear short skirts. But I think at 78, one's got to act one's age." She's now 81. Photo: Getty
There's something in the air tonight, easy lover, a groovy kind of love. It's another day in paradise, and against all odds this dress is a winner. Sussudio! Excuse me, I just sneezed. In case you haven't worked it out, this is Phil Collins' daughter, Lily. A fabric-framed bony sternum aside, her vivid green Emanuel Ungaro dress is stunning with her milky skin and truly spectacular eyebrows. Photo: Getty
When you read those articles about the art of accessorising, this is what they really mean. Although Viola Davis is wearing custom Vivienne Westwood, her Grand Celestial diamond bib necklace by Nirav Modi is the star of the show. "We discussed our overall story, which is to symbolise optimism and hope," said Davis' stylist Elizabeth Saltzman. Er, have to confess that went right over my pretty little head. Photo: Getty
I have no idea who Anna Diop is, but I appreciate two very important things about her: 1. She knows how to rock a tabard, which is a rare talent in the modern world. 2. She's a thrifty shopper. Said tabard is currently available on sale at ASOS for a mere $140.50. Photo: Getty
Elle Fanning's Rodarte dress looks like blood platelets under a microscope – which is appalling, obviously. And yet she is just so upliftingly fresh and bright and young. Even that silly frilly shoulder/sleeve detail is positively delightful on her. Photo: Getty
As a regular reader of our site, you know that Diane Kruger is acclaimed as one of the best-dressed women in the world. But I think she's finally had enough. Diane is Over. It. She's ready to pass her title on to someone more worthy, and it could be to you! Because, thoughtfully, she's put together an outfit that you can easily copy at home. Just throw on your sweaty old sports bra, your nan's nightie and a couple of faux Mongolian sheepskin cushions from Briscoes. Voila! If anyone asks, tell them it's Dior. Photo: Getty
Olga Kurylenko featured in our Best and Worst Dressed last week, and here she is again. She hasn't had this much media coverage since she was a Bond girl, way back in 2008. Olga is wearing Giorgio Armani and supporting a worthy charity (which may or may not be Underboobs for World Peace). Photo: Getty
No. Uh-uh. Stop it. Julie Bowen should be in a simple, sleek Calvin Klein column, not this unnecessarily ornate J. Mendel number. She seems like a classy chick, and yet she's very determined to give us a guided tour of her lady parts. This is designed for a Kardashian. Photo: Getty
Playing a (spoiler alert) robot in TV smash hit Westworld, Thandie Newton either wears the same Wild West brothel madam dress day after repetitive day or, well, nothing at all. No wonder she goes sartorially insane when she gets the chance. This spangly Marc Jacobs slutty circus performer outfit is batsh*t crazy, from the tips of its oversized collar to its balloon sleeves. Shhh, no more words. Just look, and marvel. Photo: Getty, Reuters
