Best Dressed Women

1. Eva Longoria in a puffy below-the-knee-but-corset-on-top black Oscar de la Renta. The Desperate Housewife was different, which I love; she wore a shorter dress amongst all the longer silk gowns and managed to still look elegant and beautiful.

2. Charlize Theron in a midnight-blue silk satin dress by John Galliano for Dior. This couture empress dress is as Hollywood glam as it gets.

3. Naomi Watts in a soft, snow-white gown with a stripe silver crystal beading. Just lovely.

Honorable Mentions: Julianna Margulies in a couture black glimmering skirt and white silk top, Diane Lane in a long mint beauty, and Emmy Rossom in a pink romantic Ralph Lauren.

Worst Dressed Women

1. Paula Abdul in the most atrocious orange strapless top paired with a sequenced every-which-way hanging skirt. Simon, please set the woman straight.

2. Natalie Portman in an off-white droopy flapper dress with a hideous black shiny belt. This is a prime example of how a bombshell can turn herself into, well, a bomb.

3. Joely Richardson in a square baby blue travesty. The Catherine Walker gown made her hips look unnaturally angled and her look as though she couldn't breathe.

Dishonorable Mentions: Cate Blanchett in a Jean Paul Gaultier light blue flowered monstrosity, Lisa Marie Presley in what I can best describe as a black frock with a cape, Scarlett Johansson in a orange Roland Mouret.

Best Dressed Men

1. Mekhi Phifer looking so hot in a black suit, striped lavender shirt and black tie. Sophisticated yet original. Well done.

2. Julian McMahon in a pin-striped black tie, black suit, white shirt and the most gorgeous face in the crowd.

3. Denis Leary in a black suit, white shirt and a lovely lavender silk tie by Hugo Boss.

Honorable mentions: James Denton in a white shirt, simple black suit and tie, Don Cheadle and Pierce Brosnan in all black, and Jim Carrey in a black suit and silver tie.

Almost honorable mention: Johnny Depp in a great navy blue suit, light blue shirt, and silk tie. If only he had taken off those awful sunglasses!

Worst Dressed Men

1. Samuel L. Jackson in an awful velvet suit, bow tie and very ugly glasses. Frozone, you ought to know better.

2. Ewan McGregor in a chaotic all black Dior mess. The tie was too skinny, the suit too open. Blah.

3. Clive Owen with his tiny collar half-popped and too-small bow tie the outfit did a severe injustice to this fine-looking man.

Dishonorable Mentions: Usher not fly but rather like a fool in sunglasses (indoors!) and a much too casual suit and no tie ensemble, Mos Def -- though he himself looked so adorable -- in something black and sloppy and again no tie!, and Tony Shalhoub in a Canali suit with a really misshapen silk tie.
