Okay some snap judgments:

Gisele is sex personified
Mischa Barton comes across as frumpy
Diane Kruger is wearing an odd choice, but it still 2008's 'it' girl in my eyes
Katie Holmes is wearing way too much make-up
I like the split on the taller Olsen's dress, but not the hair
Ivanka Trump - put those things away, you're going to knock someone's eyes out
Sorry, not impressed by the fit of the clothes Karl
Thandie Newton = yummy mummy
Anna Wintour has one hell of a dress
Kate Moss has a beautiful quality to her
Victoria Beckham missed by a mile. There is nothing I like about the look.
Fergie missed to.
Jessia Stam. Not a knock out, but supermodel cool all the same
Zac Posen, I want your dinner jacket

katie holmes has a good look,but her shoes are horrid with orange.
orange and blue,come on girl..

gisele and eva look absolutely stunning.
they are by far the only ones that i love.. they both look amazing.
mischa's dress does not do her any justice at all.
victoria beckham looks actually,horrible in every way.
mary kate and ashley look as though they just woke up. and look almost high.

Stam, Blake, Gisele, Zac (thanks for being on theme) and surprisingly Mischa are my picks

And Anna's dress is apparently inspired by Storm form X-Men.

Not feeling that dress on whichever Olsen that is.

And looks like Karl is sick of the skinny tie.
