These are some photos from last night’s amfAR “3rd Annual Inspiration Gala” in LA. You’d think with the word “gala” in the event’s name, most of the women would show up in proper gowns. You would be wrong. Some women act like the words “red carpet” and “gala” and “black tie” are mysterious codes to decipher, in which the answer is evidently “sack dresses” or “sack jumpsuits” or “dated blouses from The Limited circa 1997.” Believe it or not, Kate Hudson was one of the few ladies who actually got it right, at least as far as “looking appropriate for the occasion.” Kate’s dress is Prabal Gurung Resort 2013. Her body looks amazing, the color is pretty on her, and she looks good in general, even though this dress isn’t my favorite thing. HATE the necklace.
Here’s Chelsea Handler in her “gala best”. Worst Gala Outfit EVER. Chelsea was the “host” of the evening too.
Rumer Willis in… God, I don’t even know. Does Rumer know how to style herself? Does she have a stylist who hates her? Because this is just a total mess. The shiny nose ring, the ombre hair, the fug dress… it’s a total disaster.
I thought Octavia Spencer looked the best out of everyone. Her dress is pretty and appropriate, and she looks beautiful.
Sarah Jessica Parker in a sack-y jumpsuit and a fitted blazer. I don’t think the jumpsuit is as “special” as SJP thinks it is, but I do kind of like the blazer. Is this gala-wear?

1. Kate Hudson’s dress would have been absolutely amazing without those weird sleeve things.
2. Chelsea Handler looks budget as always
3. Rumer Willis looks…. like Rumer Willis, bless her heart.
4. I really love Octavia Spencer.
5. SJP looks absolutely MISERABLE and her eye makeup is way too severe, it ages her (more)
SJP, why the long face?
So true about SJP’s eye makeup! Why does she do that to herself? She looks so good when she wears lighter makeup. That heavy and harsh eyeliner just makes her look like a country club lady who drinks too much!
SJP is not aging well…
Word. This is a classic case of choosing between a more curvy body and wrinkles. Doesn’t happen for all women but it’s definitely happening for her. The make-up is not helping either.
Plus she needs to cut that damn hair, parting her hair in the middle only accentuates how long her face is.
I think Rumer’s dress is Alice + Olivia. I actually don’t hate the dress, but the styling is sloppy.
I think that necklace is amazing. A different colour dress would have made it ‘pop’ so much more though.
Ocativa Spencers dress is fug. Ugly pattern and fit on her.
Really? I think the necklace looks like an evil sperm. To each her own….
haha! ok…now all i see when i look at it is evil sperm.
Touchè! 😀
@Lizzie: Oh dear… sorry about that!
Yeah, Octavia Spencer’s dress isn’t flattering. Women must think that peplums hide atummy, but they only call further attention to the area.
Yeah. Don’t get the peplum craze. I don’t think anyone looks good in that style!
I think Kate Hudson and Octavia Spencer look great. The rest, not so much. I freaking love Octavia Spencer.
Agree about Octavia. She’s real. Kate…not so much. Have to say, I don’t like her much and find her “style” to be boring.
Kate Hudson is a miracle of plastic surgery and makeup. She started out as the most unfortunate looking child I have ever seen, and she still doesn’t look like much without makeup. No natural beauty here – all artifice!
sweet lord, SJP’s face looks like it’s MELTING in the last photo.
I know, this is where a little porking out every now and then would do a body good! I like SJP, just wish she would eat more. Regarding Kate: she thinks she’s so cool cuz she has boobs now. I wish she would keep them to herself. Hate when women think they need to flaunt themselves like that. Given that, dress looks hot…necklace is weird.
I am not a Kate fan but she is the best dressed here. Chelsey Handler looked like she just walked out of Wal-Mart and even SJP didn’t look very fashionable.
I love Kate Hudson’s dress. I think the style looks great on her and the colour is awesome!
Rumour’s dress…not crazy about it. Plus I think she’d look far better with her hair cut and styled about the length where the second colour starts. Wouldn’t pull her face down so much.
SJP – What is up with her face these days? Did she do something or she just not aging well?
SJP has two problems and neither is aging. First, whoever does her makeup needs to be fired! That heavy eye liner and eye makeup doesn’t look good on very many women including the Duchess of Kate. Second, she’s too freaking thin! Maybe she’s genetically disposed to that frame but if she put on 15 pounds, she’d look great!
Ears.. that is all. ha, nah Kate looks good, pretty dress.
And did I read somewhere that Handler hung out with Goop on her birthday? I am so disappointed, Handler’s disgusting.
I think Octavia looks good and SJP looks really thin, has that always been so?
rumer’s hideous style took my attention away from kate’s boob job.
how can a person have such bad taste in everything! from the hair, shoes, make up, skirt…rumer continually gets it all wrong. for the love of god, she needs to hire a new stylist! or stay at home, cause she is just making me angry.
I am delighted I am not the only one that gets angry about bad styling. Let’s grab a bottle of wine and Tim Gunn and take these ninnies to task.
Kate’s the best dressed but she’s far from beautiful. SJP is simply hideous as is Rumer Willis who is ruining a nice dress. Octavia looks fab. Handler meh.
Kate really has been looking amazing lately.
She looked so good on glee too! I had a crush. Way better than lea Michele.
I love sjp’s outfit. Best example of how to wear a jumpsuit
I’d like Kate’s dress much better without those “sleeves”. And SJP should start wearing gloves or something, her hands are aging more rapidly than her face.
Kate looks great, but agree with the sleeves being an issue. SJP’S hands are terrifying. Is there any way to avoid that happening? It is awful looking.
Terrifying? Not really. Use sunscreen on your hands, but guess what? Old age happens to everyone so you better get used to it because your time’s a coming.
If SJP would dress for her height. *sigh*
SJP wears things that were intended for 6ft tall models. So when she has them sized down to her 5’1 frame, they just look ridiculous. They don’t make her look any taller. Just shorter.
Kate Hudson – I love that red dress. I love a true bright red.
Rumer. Whom I like. She has a body to die for but has no idea how to dress it. Or what to do with her naturally curly hair. Give me one week with her. And she would look entirely different. In a positive way.
Octavia Spencer looks lovely. She is lady of a certain age, who dresses her age. Which is always a positive.
Nice boob job, Kate. Really well done, fits her figure.
Kate is showing off her bolt ins.
Oooops I meant bolt ons!
Kate looks great – only mistep was the necklace. Rumor’s Rumor. Chelsea looks like hell and she should know better. SJP I’ve always ‘kind of’ liked – she’s always been a very thin woman, and it’s not doing her any favorst as time marches on. She insists on dressing way too young (or too matronly), has had scraggly hair for about 75 years now, and is wearing waaayyy too much eye makeup. I’m of a certain age and caught myself in a mirror recently, and realized I just can’t take 10 seconds to slather on lines of eyeliner anymore…looks SO hard. Better to take a little more time and use a little less makeup for a softer, prettier look.
Looking at Kate’s necklace I’m surprised it didn’t end up puncturing the left boob.
OMG I LOVE that necklace. kaiser, what gives?
Those sleeves destroy what otherwise would have been a beautiful dress on Kate. The neckless is horrible.
yikes!
when I scrolled into that picture of Handler it was like that email with the exorcist face that catches you unaware, seriously frightening! not kidding!
As much as I think she looks terrific, I’m still disappointed she sold herself out and felt the need to get fake tits. Really disappointed. She was one of the few left with natural (little!) breasts. I thought she had more self-confidence than that.
Nah! All of her movies in the past 7 years have tanked. She must have decided she had to do something and lately it seems all Hollywood is interested in as far as women is tits and ass.
Chealsea could have at least worn a dress. Chealsea has no style. Kate h. Always looks stylish at least she tries.
kate’s eyes are seriously dull and lifeless as is her highlighted hair. why the pinned back hairstyle? does not help minimize dumbo ears. but that dress is in my top five for her, i think the sleeves rock. very cool-she is too thin up top but her arms are just right for that interesting detail. that necklace is completely the pits. so close!
Kate looks stunning!
Kate pretty but a bit revealing, Chelsea Looks Fit, Rumor looks healthy,SJP I always thought her co-stars in whatever I saw her in were >.
