School of frock
Selena Gomez turns a corner in her personal style and manages to escape the smorgasbord of sartorial nuttiness this week
SELENA GOMEZ (B+)
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City
Gown: Louis Vuitton
Shoes: Jimmy Choo
Someone's showing Justin Bieber just what he's missing.
When everyone around you is a head taller and walking around in their underwear, you've got to let the vixen out or risk being trampled on.
Cleavage? Check. Legs? Check. Studded black leather? Check.
After a few failed try-hard attempts at forcing her sex appeal down our throats, with the right outfit like this, I'm finally conceding to her hotness.
ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO (B)
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City
Gown: Mugler
What?! Just ONE slit?! I'm so used to seeing her half-naked at every event, it's a shock to my system that only a single body part is being bared here.
Kudos to the classy, pared-down Ambrosio for exercising restraint for once.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE (C+)
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 premiere in Paris
Gown: Christian Dior
This is probably the first and last time JLaw tries a totally new silhouette - the wedding sack gown for knocked-up brides who want to go to bed right after.

DIANE KRUGER (C)
LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles
Top and pants: Monique Lhuillier
Style superhero Kruger is fighting a losing battle against the nefarious powers of a repurposed bridesmaid's taffeta dress, a boot cut and the cheapest-looking shades of blue.

ELLIE GOULDING (D)
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City
Gown: Versus Versace
Trust a lingerie show to unleash the bombshell in poorly-styled Goulding, who ends up being just a bomb.
Such deep-V plunges are practically sabotaging her boobs and the tacky dark pink leopard print is driving me wild all right - with derision.
KIM KARDASHIAN (F)
LACMA ART + FILM GALA IN LOS ANGELES
Jumpsuit and coat: Givenchy
From now on, Givenchy needs to get a restraining order to keep this crazy pregnant lady far, far away from its boudoir-wear because this surely is a crime against fashion. And why does she look like she's inappropriately touching herself?
Hey, she's the one who's supposed to be nauseated, not us!

WHO WORE IT BETTER?
LADY GAGA
PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS AFTER PARTY IN LOS ANGELES, SEPT 20
IMAN
Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York City, Nov 9
Black Swan or White Swan?
You'd think nobody wears stylist-designer Brandon Maxwell like Lady Gaga can, only because she's his muse and No. 1 client and she practically made him. As fashion director at her Haus of Gaga, it would be career suicide if anyone else rocked his creations better.
So perhaps he needs to look for another job, because Iman's darker strapless jumpsuit comes across as more refined.
I prefer how she hitched up those poofy floaties to her shoulders instead of letting them dangle lifelessly around her arms.
MOST IMPROVED
CHLOE SEVIGNY

amfAR Inspiration Gala in Los Angeles, Oct 29
Dress, clutch and shoes: Gucci

LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles, Nov 7
Clutch and gown: Gucci
It's almost become Sevigny's life mission to troll us with the most insane Gucci pieces available. The pink-and-black polka-dotted maxi is straight-up terrible. The kitschy yellow lace frock, on the other hand, is hilariously bad, and the wacky actress is somewhat pulling it off beyond all human comprehension. Keep the laughs coming, girl.
SPECIAL MAN-TION - BRAD PITT
By The Sea premiere in Los Angeles
Suit: Lanvin

Where has this suave, non-scruffy version of Brad Pitt been hiding all this while?
He got rid of the beard, pornstache, shades and funny hats, combed his hair, put on a tux and voila - Ken Doll realness.
Johnny Depp, please take notes.
