  Continue reading to see the stars' looks of the night.

Emma Watson

   Emma once again showed great style with a gorgeous Hakaan Spring 2011 mini dress and nude Louboutins. The look is simple, elegant and different - thumbs up for the British fashionista.

 Cheryl Cole

   The British pop star, who won the "Best Music" award, opted for a red Alexander McQueen gown with plunging neckline. She added some spice to the red carpet, showing off her curves, but it's a far from Best Dessed.

Coco Rocha

   Coco won the "Best Model" award totally deservedly and looked stunning in an Alexander McQueen dress from the Resort 2011 collection. The cream-colored design paired perfectly with the matching clutch and the shoes, from the same collection. The beehive hairstyle completed the look.

 Thandie Newton

  Thandie Newton looked all chic and summery in a colorful design from Louis Vuitton's Spring 2011 collection. Her sleek hair and simple accessories complimented the look.

Alexa Chung 

   Alexa Chung didn't disappoint in a two-piece dress from the Spring 2011 collection of YSL. She made an excellent  runway-to-red carped translation.

 Blake Lively

   Blake, winner of Best TV Star, surprised us (not in the good way) with this bright blue Pucci Spring 2011 dress. The color is great on her, but the shape is gives her - not so much. We know you can do better, Blake!

 Courtney Love

   Although Courtney was a pleasant surprise since she looked a lot less like a hot mess than usual, her dress is not exactly chic. With that length, combined with lace and off-white color, it seems as if she is walking to the alter rather than to the awards ceremony.

 Helena Christensen

    Helena Christensen bored us with this colorful printed dress. The idea is elegant, but the execution - not particularly flattering.

Vivienne Westwood

   Vivienne Westwood was the big disappointment of the night. Although she is so talented and dresses other people so amazingly, the designer apparently can't quite dress herself. That outfit is beyond inappropriate and unflattering.

Sophie Ellis Bextor

   Sophie Ellis Bextor wore a dress of lovely spring color and looked charming but boring. The shoes didn't help and the golden bag just lost us.

Minnie Driver

   Minnie Driver was one of the best-looking celebs of the night. She wore a chic mini dress with gray leopard-reminiscent print and paired it with just the right strappy heels.
