School of frock
So what if the CFDA Fashion Awards and CMT Music Awards happened last week? You know the stars weren't even trying when a beauty queen in a black gown trumps them all
PIA WURTZBACH
Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas
Gown: Venexiana
Clutch: Amanda Pearl
Now this is posing like your life depended on it. The reigning Miss Universe from the Philippines is so poised and regal in this black caped gown, there can be no doubt that she deserved to be crowned queen.

ELLE FANNING
The Neon Demon photocall in Rome
Dress: Giamba
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
So Fanning's doing her modern fairy princess thing again. She's a pale chick and the ruffled babydoll dress is washing her out, but it is still rather charming.

JAMIE LYNN SPEARS
CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee
Romper: Not known
And you thought Britney Spears needed help. Looking at her little sister here, style problems are clearly genetic. If you can't bring yourself to dress better than what you'd throw on to go to the mall, just stay home.

KRISTEN WIIG
Elle's Women In Comedy event in Los Angeles
Top and pants: Monique Lhuillier
Who you gonna call? We suggest a new stylist for Ghostbusters star Wiig. Shiny pyjamas on the red carpet are already a frightful sight, the least she could have done is hem those circus stilt walker pants.

ADRIANA LIMA
CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City
Top and pants: Marc Jacobs
For an event supposed to celebrate the best in fashion design, the majority of attendees turned up in quite the opposite - with Lima the worst offender. She really needs to put a tailor on speed dial. Those baggy velvet trousers baffle me. It's just head-to-toe insanity.

WHO WORE IT BETTER?
BELLA HADID VS BEYONCE
This cool Givenchy sparkly pinstripe pantsuit - plus wide-brimmed hat - is such a deviation from Beyonce's usual tight lacy and/or embellished dresses, I can't help but give her a slow clap for finally trying something new. Hadid, on the other hand, isn't bringing anything ground-breaking to the table with her sexier take.
