Why can't celebrities dress well?

You would think that with stylists and designers and money and all of it, celebrities would be able to put themselves together. They can't. This month has seemed particularly bad as far as premieres go. Maybe it is the LA heat. Here's a sampling of the better showings from some recent premieres.

Here is Anne Hathaway at the LA premiere for "The Devil Wears Prada." There is always a lot of pressure for celebs to look hot at movie premieres, but a movie with Prada in the title ups the ante significantly in my book. Unfortunately, the celebs that showed up failed to deliver, including Miss Hathaway. Although not tragic, there is a long list of problems with the dress. Wrong color, wrong fabric, weird visible binding in the torso, the skirt looks unfinished. To be fair, I had really high hopes for this red carpet. And they did do better at the NY premiere:

Much better dress for the occasion.

















Adrian Grenier is hot. I'm not sure why the bottom of his pants look like that. Someone should have let him know...but he's really hot.











And now the "Superman Returns" premiere. Brandon Routh won the lottery and got the gig, so how did his first big time red carpet appearance go?

He looks pretty good. He's got the smile and wave down. Safe suit choice which was smart. Pretty cute long-term girlfriend makes him likeable to the public. Way to go the first time out Brandon!









Kate Bosworth doesn't go wrong very often. This is indeed a great summer premeire dress. Rather impressive undergarment job, if there is anything under there, it is well hidden. Too bad she's ruining it by slouching. She doesn't look like a confident movie star. Maybe she needed her hot boyfriend Orlando Bloom by her side (he slipped through a back entrance).

Saw this adorable young thing in this fashion-forward (but too old for her) dress and wondered "who is she?" Then read Emma Roberts (niece of Julia). I predict good things fashion-wise from this young star.








Kate Beckinsdale didn't do it for me at the "Click" premiere. The dress is pretty boring and not as flattering as her usual get-ups. It's summer! Your movie is a fluffy comedy! No boring black cotton! At least give us a punch of color somewhere.







Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock reunite for the "Lake House." He looks pretty good and summery at the premiere. Doesn't look like he worked too hard at it, but that is his style. I'm a big fan of Sandy's but marrying Jesse James hasn't done good things for her style. Oh well.





Apparently Kristen Cavallari gets invited to big movie premieres for some reason. She's a pretty girl and I like the dress and make-up and nail polish. MTV must have given her good handlers.









I don't even know where to begin. You know that Samantha Harris walked out of the house thinking she was hip like Gwen Stefani. This is just so so so misguided. The necklace, the shirt (both of them), the belt - all bad individually - tragic together.






Entourage started up its newest season this month and the cast looked pretty fly for a bunch of white guys (I am clever).



Kevin Connolly is still with Nicky Hilton. That's cool I guess... For a "fashion designer" you would think that she could have made a better showing. The dress is alright but the hair? Looks like a bad extension job to me. No good.






AFI gave the Lifetime Achievment Award to Sean Connery this month and the guest list was rather diverse. Here is Hugh Hefner with some dates. I am not really sure how this works. Does Hugh buy the dresses or are the girls in charge of it all? About half of the girls look good. The others, not so much. The 2 on the left had the right idea for the occasion (the bunny on the far right gets honorable mention for trying). Of the girlfriends, Bridget is the only one that looks very classy. Kendra and Holly look like they are going to a high school dance. I'm not sure what purple dress was thinking...

Parker Posey gets the award for accepting the most premiere invitations. She is pretty adorable so fine by me if she keeps showing up at everything. Here she is at the DWP, SR and LH premieres:
