Jeez, talk about running the style gamut. While we admire any celeb who can switch things up in her style and not get stuck in a rut, we are amazed that these two looks happened roughly 24 hours apart.

Straight up: We’ve been scrutinizing this woman’s red carpetry for a decade and one thing she absolutely never does? Cutesy posing. She must hate this. We can’t even imagine how she couldn’t. She looks – to be perfectly blunt about it – absolutely awful. Whoever decided putting the palest woman in showbiz in an all-white ensemble is a person whose thought processes need to be scrutinized vociferously before anyone listens to them again on matters of style. The person who did her hair just needs to be fired. What an awful outfit. FASHION DESIGNERS: ONCE AGAIN WE ARE FORCED TO REMIND YOU THAT IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A GOWN/PANTS HYBRID THAT DOESN’T LOOK COMPLETELY TERRIBLE. Please make a note of it.

And now, the rebound:

There is no man in fashion who makes for a better rebound after a red carpet disaster than Michael Kors. You won’t find the trendiest or most forward-facing fashion in his lot, but he’ll always set you up with something that photographs well and looks great on you. Love the color, love the hair, love the soft and sparing use of ruffles (at a time when everyone else is way overdoing them). Don’t love the shoes, though. They’re fabulous on their own, but they look a bit too heavy and focus-pulling for this dress.
