This week, our Style Watch stars demonstrated the best of both worlds, from classic red carpet gowns to trendy print-splashed mini dresses. In the former category comes Emma Watson, who is gracefully gothic in a dramatic black Wes Gordon dress, and Kristen Bell in a darling sleeveless gown by J. Mendel. As Bell reprises her role as Veronica Mars, she is able to demonstrate multiple looks on the red carpet appearing again in a sensational Monique Lhuillier corset dress with a sheer panel overlay, and later in an exotic frock by Naeem Khan. Two simple shift dresses caught our attention with Emmy Rossum in Altuzarra and Sienna Miller in a simple cream look, which reminded us that it is often the case that less is more. Meanwhile, Jessica Alba radiated confident beauty in a tailored menswear look that made the most of a blue leopard-printed Cartonnier blazer. See all of these looks and more in our weekly roundup of the best looks from the red carpet.
