Since we’ve already covered the worst and the Orange Goop of the Elle “Women In Hollywood” event, let’s be nice and cover some of the better dressed women of the evening. I should admit something, though – some of these women I like so much, I don’t even care what they’re wearing. Although, I have to admit – the ladies who have been in the business for more than a decade (in some cases, more than three decades), they know how to dress for an event. They know what is appropriate, and they know they don’t need a quick hit on a fashion blog that badly. Diane Keaton, up there with Harrison Ford, is one of my favorites. Her style is funky, but she’s been doing it so long that I appreciate the fact that she keeps it real. She’s not a ball-gown/cocktail dress kind of woman. Thank God. And Harrison looks cute too! I also loved what Annette Bening was wearing:
Classic, demure, age-appropriate, business-y, yet kind of sexy too! I want it.
I love Sofia Coppola’s outfit too – little Elle Fanning’s dress is kind of over the top and little-girlish, but hey, she’s a young girl. Stephen Dorff looks great!
Go, I just adore Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka. She’s adorable. And this is the perfect little party dress for a young girl. So sweet!
I kind of hate this dress on Kat Dennings – the fit is off, the color is off, the makeup is off. And yet… I still really like her.
I think Diane Kruger looks stunning. Great little dress.
Speaking of stunning, look at Jodie Foster! Great, simple dress, and she’s not posing like a truck driver (like she often does). She looks fantastic.
I don’t love Hilary Swank’s dress. I find the whole thing kind of meh, especially the combo of her jewelry with the dress. Eh.
And finally, a little Jake Gyllenhaal. He was there to honor The Goop. He’s been looking really good lately!

Kiernan Shipka looks like a baby Emma Watson! So cute!
Nice, Kaiser. I love Diane Keaton and Annette Bening; they are the definition of class. And I also adore Diane Krueger; she always looks amazing and is old-school Hollywood beautiful. It’s refreshing to see a post full of folks that puts my faith back in Hollywood Humanity (i’m looking at you Lindsey, Britney, Kardashians, etc.)
Wow, Hilary Swank is really putting up a fight to be on the worst dressed lists’ this year.
I never noticed before how much Kat Dennings looks like Scarlett Johansson.
diane looks amazing. her outfit is a bit odd but she works it. her face is beautiful, and as a four eyed gal, i love to see the celebs in glasses. annette looks great, and sally draper is adorable. hilary swank always dresses too severe – with such a strong, masculine face she should try and soften up a bit.
Keaton, Fanning and Kruger are 10’s. Bening and Swank are awful. The rest ok.
Ah, nice to see the ladies do it so well.
LOVE Jake, I could spend days looking in those eyes.
I love Keaton,Ford and Benning I never get tired of seeing them and I like their style.Kieran Shipka is great this year on MM.I like that she dresses her age.JF looks fantastic in the little black dress and JG is handsome as ever.
Diane Kruger’s dress is STUNNING. She looks demure and fabulous and holds herself beautifully. Well done love!!
Jodie Foster’s not bad either…
Wow, I’m disagreeing a lot today. I hate Diane Kruger’s dress. It looks shapeless and the seaming is bad. It’s like a really bad Project Runway 15 minute challenge dress. And the shoes don’t help. However, even though I usually don’t go for heavy fabrics, I really like Hilary Swank’s dress. It looks good on her, and really highlights her rockin bod. The hair is great, too. You’re right about the jewelry though. Shoes, too. She just can’t seem to get it together with her accessories.
I love that the Fanning girls have always dressed age appropriately (*coughcoughlohanskardashianscyruses*).
I don’t know why, but I’m madly in love/lust with Jake Gyllenhal. And I’m totally not a ‘crush on an actor’ kinda girl! I can’t decide if I want to make sweet, sweet love to him or have crazy monkey-hang from the chandelier-get all dirty and sweaty kinda sex with him. Hm…maybe both? The crazy shag followed by the sweet love? Maybe the other way around…
LOVE Diane Keaton’s dress – looks like what your cool friend who runs an art gallery would wear to an opening or something. She’s just got that funky artsy vibe. I mean, FEATHERS, and they work!
It’s like Swank is always trying to prove that she’s attractive…and failing at it
Elle Fanning is all grown up!!! She looks fantastic and Kieran is a doll!
I’m sorry, but Diane Kruger needs to wear a bra.
Agree with all your comments Kaiser. I like Kieran Shipka so much, she is such a little doll, i get afraid we will jinx her with all our love. I really hope not.
@ Aqua
my sentiments exactly!!
i want diane’s shoes oh dear
Harrison Ford looks like a goof with that silly earing in his ear and his nose is huge. What happened there?
I adore Diane Keaton. She is so comfortable being herself. Her hair looks fab and the colour is perfect for her.
Annette Benning – Classy look. Love it.
Jake G – He looks great with a beard. He reminds me of my first love. *sigh*
Jodie Foster is classy. Gorg.
I want to hate Jodie Foster because of her defense of Mel Gibson. But it’s hard to do when she’s so talented, intelligent, and a classy woman. Argh!
Diane Keaton looks like muppet in that dress. A muppet.
I think Swank’s failing was the hair + jewlery + dress… Longer hair and she might have pulled it off.
Everyone is appropriately dressed, I love Elle Fanning’s and Kiernan Shipka’s dresses. Diane Keaton and Annette Benning look always so happy and cheerful, I like them.
I don’t understand why all the celeb women lately ruin their outfits with these big clunky shoes. It makes me crazy! (AB and DK excepted…)
Harrison Ford smiling…why didn’t he hook up with Diane Keaton? What a great age appropriate couple! Men are stupid….
Love, love, love the Keaton, but I hate, hate, hate black nail polish. When will it go away?
Benning’s dress is awful but from the shoulders up she looks adorable. Love her hair and glasses.
How old is Elle? Dakota is what 16. Jeez, she has gotten tall. Armani has always been Foster’s go to designer and I just love what she wears by him.
@skibunny. Your nose never stops growing. The older you get the bigger your honker looks. 🙁
That’s true. That’s why you never see old people with tiny button noses. Unless they are Joan Rivers.
I’d like to freeze mine where it is now, but it was way cuter in my teens. 🙁
I love my girl Diane Keaton. Her style is unique. It’s hers. And I love it on her—very much a carrying forward of the character she played in Annie. Always with the gloves and the funky belts and accessories. Go Diane!!!!!
Keaton and Bening are amongst the most sophisticated women in hollywood.
