This week's best-dressed list was all about the embellishments. Kate Bosworth took a simple black dress and amped it up with a jewel-encrusted neckline, while Keke Palmer stood out in a rhinestone gown.


Though there were many ensembles that sparkled, the best-dressed award has to go to Diane Kruger who understands the key to pulling off a busy dress. Does this lady ever get it wrong?


Check out our picks for best-dressed and let us what you think.


Dita Von Teese

If anyone understands sex appeal, it's Dita Von Teese. This outfit is so alluring, without being too sexy. Her head-to-toe black ensemble shows off her curves (thanks to that belt), while her leather gloves, red lipstick and expertly coiffed hair pull everything together.


Natalie Portman in Dior

So simple, yet so elegant. The princess-style dress looks gorgeous on the "Thor" star. Portman is the picture of Hollywood glamour.


Blake Lively in Balmain

It's rare that we see off-the-shoulder done so well on the red carpet. Lively's bouclé houndstooth dress looks stunning against her complexion. The sparkly, gold-accented is fashion-forward, while the flouncy skirt helps to keep the look young and fun. Clearly, she has learned something from her "Gossip Girl" days.


Michelle Dockery

Sometimes all you need is an LBD and red lipstick. Dockery's look is incredibly sexy and subtle, we just can't get enough.


Olivia Wilde in Cushnie et Ochs


wilde


Though we admit that Wilde's dress looks a little summery, she wore it in LA, which is undoubtably warmer than the East Coast right now. The delicate floral print is so pretty, especially when paired with the actress' tousled locks and minimal makeup.


Kate Bosworth in Christopher Kane

Without the embellishments, Bosworth's dress isn't anything special. But the added detail around her neck pulls the focus towards her face, while the detailing at her waist helps to define her shape so she doesn't get lost in all the loose material.


Diane Kruger in Chanel


diane


We can't say we're surprised that Kruger managed to find herself the perfect strapless gown. Though the dress has a lot of colorful accents, it's short hemline and simple silhouette keep it from being over the top.


Ashley Madekwe in Theory

There is something so effortless about this look -- it's as if she just threw it on, without giving it much thought, and voila! But her red strappy shoes, which add a nice pop of color, let us know that this lady is a discerning fashionista.


Keke Palmer

This dress is perfect for the actress. The voluminous bottom is balanced out nicely by the fitted bodice, while the subtle rhinestones help to keep the gown interesting.

  • Sandra Bullock in Dsquared²


    Bullock is looking better and better with every red carpet appearance. We love this lingerie-inspired LBD. Not only does it fit her body like a glove, but it's also a subtle take on the underwear as outerwear trend.




  • Alessandra Ambrosio


    Well, that's one heck of a cut-out. Though the Victoria's Secret model is baring a lot of skin, the long hemline and flowy skirt compensate for the sexy top.




  • Demi Moore in Salvatore Ferragamo


    Moore's style is only getting better as she gets older. This rich, navy halter dress is fun, yet still age-appropriate.




  • Camilla Alves


    There are so many things that are perfect about this look: The black and white color blocking is extremely flattering, the light draping accentuates her small waist, while the keyhole detail at the top breaks up all the material.




  • Frieda Pinto


    All that glitters really is gold, or at least, this dress. The embellishments, halter neckline and neutral color are the trifecta of chic.




  • Kate Beckinsale in Donna Karan


    There are few ways you can go wrong in a plunging red wrap dress, but the vibrant color and lines on this gown make Beckinsale stand out for all the right reasons.




  • Reese Witherspoon in Calvin Klein


    We adore the simplicity of this look. The bold dress with the thin white line is not only captivating, but draws our attention to the actress' beautiful updo.




  • Taylor Schilling in Zuhair Murad


    The proof is in the pudding -- Taylor Schilling is not only a talented actress, but she also has killer style. Even though it's way past Labor Day, the star's white dress works because of the black accents and long sleeves.




  • Viola Davis in Escada


    The fit of this dress is perfection. It hugs the Academy Award-nominated star in all the right places, and the V-neck complements her physique. Davis has also mastered the art of picking the right hue for her skin tone.




  • Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs


    We were starting to forget what Miley looked like with clothes on. This dress is so sexy without showing too much skin -- she's on the right path.




  • Li Bingbing In Elie Saab


    Now this is show-stopping gown! The Chinese actress may be wearing a revealing dress, but the high neckline, delicate beading and long hemline ensure that it reads very classy.




  • Sandra Bullock in Stella McCartney


    Bullock is on fire in the fashion department lately, and this dress is no exception. The long sleeves on her black lace dress are balanced out nicely by the frock's short hemline, while her deep red lips and tousled locks make the entire look totally effortless.




  • Rooney Mara In Proenza Schouler


    The queen of minimalism is finally wearing color (alright, a little bit of color). This dress looks fabulous on Mara because it's refined yet of the moment. The leather top, combined with the tummy cut-out and pleated metallic strips, stay true to the actress' avant-garde style, but are still slightly unexpected.




  • Michelle Pfeiffer In Alexander McQueen


    Clearly, Pfeiffer knows how to put together a balanced outfit. The strong shoulder pads on her blazer are nicely countered by her fitted white dress shirt and slightly flared pants. (Not to mention the fact that her legs look about 12 feet long).




  • Queen Maxima Of The Netherlands


    Who says royalty can't be fashion-forward? We love how Queen Maxima elevated her simple grey dress with bold accessories. Her oversized hat, metallic clutch and gold hoop earrings ensure that she is best-dressed material.




  • Jennifer Hudson In Donna Karan


    Ruching and wrapping are always figure-flattering, so Hudson was smart to pick this style of dress. The singer's strappy sandals further elongate her legs, while her sexy cat-eye makeup amps up the sex appeal. A+, Hudson.




  • Freida Pinto In Burberry


    Pinto understands how to wear a statement piece. The actress' metallic jacquard pencil skirt is the standout garment in her outfit, so she kept the rest of her look simple, allowing us to be wowed, once again, by her fashion-forward ways.




  • Allison Williams In Dior


    Now this is a dress! What makes this gown so special is the silhouette. The halter neckline shows off William's toned arms and creates simple, clean lines which make the actress appear taller than she is.




  • Carey Mulligan In Dior


    Yellow can be a tricky hue to wear given not all shades of the color are very flattering. But Mulligan seems to have nailed it with this strapless dress. The boning towards the top helps to give her a nice hourglass shape, while her pink lipstick and black pumps compliment the delicate look.




  • Rumer Willis


    We were happily suprised to see Willis on the best-dressed list this week. We think the young star has finally learned that less is more. This classic black dress, with a slight slit and a deep-V, is showing off all her best assets.




  • Jennifer Hudson in Yigal Azrouël


    How many ways can you say fabulous? The Academy Award winner stole the show in this figure-flattering white dress. The peplum detail shows off her rockin' body, while her sultry waves and sleek back pumps amp up the sex appeal. October 4th, Los Angeles




  • Elizabeth Banks in Dolce & Gabbana


    We're not wild about Banks' hair, but her outfit is spot on. The crop top trend is still going strong, and we love this demure take on the fad. The matching top and skirt help to elongate her figure, as do her nude pumps. October 4th, Los Angeles




  • Jessica Alba


    Nothing is more chic than a strapless gown. We love the houndstooth print and simple silhouette -- it really allows for Alba's curves to speak for themselves. October 4th, Los Angeles




  • Julianne Moore in Givenchy


    Redheads often face challenges finding colors that compliment their skin tone and hair color, but a white dress is foolproof. This gown could have easily skewed Grecian goddess, but the modern silhouette and expert draping ensure that Moore doesn't look like she is wearing a costume. October 7th, Los Angeles




  • Nina Garcia in Balenciaga


    The creative director at Marie Claire proves that all black is often the way to go. Though her outfit is simple, the expert tailoring, minimal makeup and fashion-forward mules make the fashionista a force to be reckoned with. October 3rd, New York




  • Laura Vandervoort in Alex Perry


    We don't know what we love most about this look. The detail in the bustier, the gold belt, her strappy sandals or that bright red lipstick. October 7th, Cannes




  • Kerry Washington in Vince Camuto


    Washington is off the worst-dressed list and right where she belongs. This graphic print dress looks great on the petite star, while her edgy pumps help to toughen up her otherwise feminine look. October 4th, Los Angeles




  • Penelope Cruz in Temperley London


    If you've ever questioned whether or not Penelope Cruz is a sex symbol, here is your answer. Her embellished black dress is so alluring, even though there isn't much exposed skin. The sheer detailing up top and the dress' curve-hugging silhouette are more than enough to show Cruz off in all her glory. October 3rd, London




  • Charlize Theron in Stella McCartney


    White seems to be the color of the week. We love this short shift dress on Theron, it makes her legs look even longer than they already are. October 4th, Los Angeles




  • Eva Herzigova


    This dress could have easily skewed bridal, but the Czech model knew how to make it look high-fashion instead. The midi-length hem, black pumps and red lipstick ensure that no one confuses her for a bride. Paris, September 27th




  • Anna Wintour


    It's so nice to see the Vogue editor out of a tweed suit and into one of the hottest prints of the year -- Hawaiian florals. We're also impressed that she was able to make it her own with her signature beaded necklace and kitten heels. Kudos, Anna. New York, September 11th




  • Karlie Kloss in Cushnie Et Ochs


    Though many A-listers get scolded for wearing the same outfit twice, Kloss manages to make it work. The supermodel donned this Cushnie et Ochs dress when she opened the brand's show during New York Fashion Week, and she put it on again for a night on the town. It's clear to see why she recycled the dress -- the silhouette and the cut-outs look as if they were made for Kloss' six-foot frame. New York, September 11th




  • Arizona Muse


    Arizona Muse lives up to her name in this interesting black dress. The unusual neckline and high-slit take this outfit from blah to brilliant. New York, September 12th




  • Giovanna Battaglia


    There is a reason that Battaglia is on just about every street style blog -- the woman has style in spades. Her patent leather top is a sexy contrast to her sweet peplum skirt, while her belt helps to give her some curves. New York, September 12th




  • Sienna Miller


    This outfit is a success because it achieves the perfect balance. Though Miller's boxy top could have added too much extra bulk, it was nicely offset by a pencil skirt and a slightly exposed tummy. London, September 16th




  • Elena Perminova


    The wife of Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev has been stealing the spotlight at fashion shows for months, and this outfit proves that she isn't dimming her light anytime soon. We love how she paired a high-waisted skirt with a cropped trench style coat -- the proportions are perfection. And we can't get enough of her accessories -- those strappy sandals and that embellished purse add just the right amount of visual interest. London, September 16th




  • Gwyneth Paltrow in Lanvin


    Now's the time to get in as much white as possible. Although Paltrow's dress is plain, the spot-on fit and luxe material make it a winner. Los Angeles, September 16th




  • Crystal Renn in Gabriela Cadena


    The model and author looks breathtaking in this form-fitting gown. The cut is hugging her curves in the best way possible, while the plunging neckline brings attention towards her gorgeous face. New York, September 17th




  • Naomi Harris in Peter Pilotto


    Prints have never looked better! The British actress smartly paired her orange and blue frock with demure accessories to make sure they didn't steal the focus away from her dress. London, September 17th




  • Blake Lively in Gucci


    Now this is a dress that will stop anyone in their tracks! The all-leather ensemble is not only cool because of it's mustard yellow color, but the twisted halter neckline and monochromatic belt make the look fashion-forward. Milan, September 18th




  • Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung


    The fashion risk-taker stepped out in a dress from Prabal Gurung's Spring 2014 collection, and she really let the gorgeous frock shine. Steinfeld was smart to keep her makeup and accessories simple, drawing focus to the interesting detail work in the gown. Hollywood, September 24th




  • Miranda Kerr in J. Mendel


    Kerr can do no wrong. The model combined a few different trends (sheer, cut-outs and a midi length skirt) to create an outfit that was fashion-forward and flattering. New York, September 19th




  • Emma Roberts in Stella McCartney


    If this dress were black, it would have been boring, but this vibrant orange color is what makes this simple gown a knockout. So many stars stick to neutrals on the red carpet, but a bright, bold hue can easily take a dress from ordinary to extraordinary. Los Angeles, September 22nd




  • Coco Rocha in Greta Constantine


    Everything about this look is perfection -- the body-skimming fit, the interesting architectural cut-outs, the rich navy color, the bold orange lipstick -- it all just came together. New York, September 23rd




  • Diana Kruger in Prabal Gurung


    Now this is a gown. The color-blocking on the dress is very figure-flattering, while the voluminous bottom is perfectly balanced out by the tight bodice. New York, September 23rd




  • Michelle Dockery in Erdem


    It's nice to see this "Downton Abbey" star looking so sweet. We love the short floral dress and bright yellow pumps -- afterall, it's not that cold out yet. Los Angeles, September 21st




  • Kiernan Shipka


    We always forget that this "Mad Men" star is only 13 years old, as she has impeccable taste. Navy and black is one of our favorite color combinations (it's so sophisticated), and we love how she's chosen a classic shift shape with batwing sleeves, very unexpected. Los Angeles, September 19th




  • Stacy Keibler in Pamella Roland


    This look is incredibly sleek and sexy -- from Keibler's slicked-back hair and burgundy lipstick to her tight-fitting dress with leather accents. Los Angeles, September 19th




  • Malin Akerman


    The print on Ackerman's white skirt is what makes this ensemble. Though she went simple on top, sporting a black tank, minimal makeup and low-key jewelry, her patterned skirt is what made this outfit one to remember. New York, September 24th




  • Gabrielle Union in Pierre Balmain


    Va-va-voom! Union has shown the perfect amount of skin in this look. The low neckline and high slit aren't too much because of the dress' long and loose nature. We're also obsessed with her strappy shoes which are elongating her legs. Los Angeles, September 20th




  • Brooke Burke-Charvet


    It looks like this "Dancing with the Stars" winner found her color. The orangey-red hue is amazing against her complexion, and the textured pattern really makes he dress pop off of the red carpet. Beverly Hills, September 27th
