Last night co-host and performer Selena Gomez brought out the heavy embroidery during the MMVAs, wearing the same blinged-out dress Katy Perry wears on our Summer cover. The jewel-encrusted Dolce & Gabbana mini combines three of summer’s hottest trends: lace, white and lots of leg. And so, the fashion battle begins!

Our favourite California girl made the dress fun and sexy, pairing it with colourful rings, purple polish and a pop of fuchsia lipstick.

In the other corner, Selena’s subdued makeup, messy updo and subtle dangling earrings make the risqué hemline seem downright wholesome. Not that it’s a bad thing. We like our 18-year-olds looking, you know, 18.

Chloë Sevigny graced the black carpet for MOCA’s annual The Artist’s Museum Happening gala on Saturday night in L.A. Sevigny wore a white Chanel jumpsuit with a black satin ribbon harness. Malin Akerman attended the same event in a creamy floor-length Ralph Lauren gown with cognac brown leather suspenders. Two harness-esque looks at one party? Curious.

So, who wore it best: Sevigny or Akerman? Vote after the jump!

Today in Who Wore it Best: Hip Flap Edition, we have two very different stars, with very different personal styles and one possibly disconcerting sartorial detail in common. First we have Lady Gaga, who wore this tuxedo-ish number, with what look like portions of an Elizabethan neck ruff protruding from the jacket, out in London yesterday. Anne Hathaway sported a cream Antonio Berardi dress, sleek save the handkerchief attachments, to a gala screening of Love & Other Drugs at the AFI Fest in L.A.

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?

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?
