School of frock: Nerd Prom edition
Who knew the White House Correspondents Association Dinner aka Nerd Prom would be throwing up the week's best, worst and everything in between
EMILY RATAJKOWSKI (B+)
White House Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington
Gown: Monique Lhuillier
For someone who has made a name for herself by flaunting her nakedness every chance she gets, Ratajkowski, to me, is more striking when she is not flashing skin. This semi-sheer forest green floral frock provides the appropriate amount of coverage for the occasion.
PARIS HILTON (B)
New York City Ballet's Spring Gala in New York City
Gown: Toni Maticevski
Hell just froze over because Hilton has finally gone legit, style-wise. This pale pink ballerina-esque princess gown is truly a Cinderella moment, as she is usually togged in tacky overpriced rags.
EMMA WATSON (C)
White House Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington
Dress and trousers: Osman
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Yet another dress-over-pants combo? That seems to be all Watson is wearing these days and frankly, I'm done. I'm also over stuffing a napkin in your bodice and calling it "fashion".
CARRIE UNDERWOOD (D)
American Country Countdown Awards in Los Angeles
Gown: Gauri & Nainika
The poor woman has neither mirrors nor friends. Judging from how we can actually see her boob panels and crinoline, it is obvious she wore her gown inside out.
RAVEN-SYMONE (D-)
White House Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington
Pantsuit: Not known
Yes, it is the prom for D.C. nerds, but does she have to dress like one? What the former child star of The Cosby Show really needs is to time-machine her butt back to Victorian England.
WHO WORE IT BETTER?
There are slight differences between these Juan Carlos Obando red satin cold-shoulder gowns with oversized long sleeves. But it is clear Lima has the edge over Sharapova - only because she doesn't have a hilariously huge single gold earring cascading down her chest.
ADRIANA LIMA
White House Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington, April 30
MARIA SHARAPOVA
Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York City, May 2
"The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an ageist and sexist society." — US pop star Madonna (above) on how the risque Givenchy outfit she wore to the recent Met Gala was both a political and fashion statement
