Malin Akerman sported this shiny red J.Mendel gown to the premiere of The Bang Bang Club, in which she stars opposite Ryan Philippe. The colour is lovely, especially with all the variations in tone, but the whole things seems too stiff and shiny. Plus there’s something about the straps and the side panels that makes us think of the X-Men, which Akerman wasn’t in, but nevertheless, we can’t stop thinking about when we look at this dress.

You’ve heard our thoughts. What do you think?

We’ve got another hot battle on our hands today on Who Wore it Best?: Jumpsuit edition. Rebecca Hall is back for another round of judgment on her red YSL number, but this time we’re having her face off against Rachel Weisz, who wore a creamy vintage jumpsuit to last night’s premiere of The Whistleblower. Does Hall’s look (which, for the record, we liked–ignoring the somewhat ill-fitting bustier top) fare better here, or does Weisz’s stab at relaxed glam come out on top?

With apologies to Jason Wu, I think we’re all a little disappointed that Natalie Portman didn’t bust out the Rodarte for the Black Swan premiere. (Though, as our friends at Toronto Life have pointed out, this hasn’t been an exciting fest, style wise.) But let’s collect ourselves and consider the frock at hand. Do you like it?

Today in Who Wore It Best: Red sequins edition, we’ve got Blake Lively squaring off against British actress Lucy Punch. Lively hit first in this Chanel Haute Couture frock at Saturday night’s premiere of The Town (See the red carpet pics) but Punch hit back (see what we did there?) with this ombré number at You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. We’re having a tough time reffing this one (enough? Okay, we’ll stop).

Who won this round?

Freida Pinto sported a Resort 2011 Alexander McQueen dress–part of Sarah Burton‘s first official collection for the house–to the premiere of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. [See red carpet pics from the premiere] Reactions to the dress have been mixed, so we thought we’d put it to a vote. (For the record, we think she looks lovely, if not-too-excitingly dressed.)

What say you?

At first we thought Rebecca Hall was wearing a flowing, strapless dress to premiere of The Town last night. [See all the looks on the red carpet.] Then we realized she’s actually got on a flowing, strapless jumpsuit, from the YSL Resort 2011 collection to be precise. Do you like it?

Where Alannah Myles when you need her? Hilary Swank and Minnie Driver both turned up for the Conviction premiere last night in dueling (okay, not black) velvet dresses. Driver went with a strapless green frock that, with the the doodads at the side, makes it look like she’s maybe-sorta-kinda wearing the drapes, but she still looks stunning and those Loubs are amazing. Swank puts on a swirled, black-and-blue Pucci mini to show off her legs, but–and it may be the angle–the shoes are not doing anything toward that effort.

Let’s get a closer look at the shoes and accessories, shall we?

Mitch Glazer’s Passion Play premiered last night at TIFF, and while the fashion wasn’t overly exciting, there was an abundance of shiny hair. Our contenders are: Megan Fox and her signature waves, Kelly Lynch and her right-on-trend centre part, executive producer Rebecca Wang and her long layers, and director Mitch Glazer, whose locks speak for themselves. (See all the red carpet pics from the premiere)

Who’s got the best ‘do?
