Worst: Hair Slay

With a new series for fall and a new husband in tow, Kate Walsh is on top of the world, right? Well, not the fashion world. What was the bigger mistake here: her skimpy ruby-colored Pamela Dennis dress or her crazy '80s hairdo?

Best: Red Hot

So what's the real-life superpower of 'Heroes' stunner Ali Larter? We'd say it's her ability to defeat gravity while sporting this dazzling strapless Reem Acra gown.

Worst: Bird Brained

We hate to think of how many ostriches died for those fussy green feathers on Vanessa Williams' Kevan Hall dress. The former Miss America puts the ugly in 'Ugly Betty' with this number.

Best: Purple Prose

For funnywoman Julia Louis-Dreyfus, fashion is no laughing matter. The 'Christine' star hits yet another red-carpet glam slam with this curve-hugging number from her fave designer, Narciso Rodriguez.

Worst: Hero No-No

The recently legal Hayden Panettiere should have exercised her right to vote when it came time to elect this oversized Marc Bouwer dress. Maybe she just wanted to smuggle a plus-one into the after-party.

Best: Well Suited

'Heroes' star Milo Ventimiglia proves simple can be sexy in his classic black suit and tie. But what really makes this look hot? It's that smoldering gaze (sold separately).

Worst: Bow Tied

Jenna Fischer of 'The Office' came wrapped in a bow, but this is one gift she really should return ... along with the drapes that were apparently fashioned into a dress. Perhaps it looked fab in that fluorescent workplace lighting?

Best: Two for the Show

And the award for the night's best-dressed couple goes to ... Ellen DeGeneres, in a custom navy Gucci suit, and color-coordinated gal pal Portia DeRossi. Quite the blue-tiful pair.

Best: Good Grace

Debra Messing keeps it classy in a black-and-white Ralph Lauren dress and diamonds. And best of all, the long-time 'Will and Grace' star was completely pratfall-free.

Worst: Tight Flight

Is 'Weeds' star Elizabeth Perkins trying to get a gig on 'Big Love'? With her pulled-back hair and buttoned-up frock, she looks more like a Utah school marm than an Agrestic centerpiece. C'mon Lizzie, skin is in.

Best: Hot Doc

The 'Grey's Anatomy' gals have some competition in the sexy-doc category. With her ruffled Monique Lhullier gown, 'Scrubs' star Sarah Chalke shows she has what it takes in the fashion sweepstakes.

Best: Greek to You

You may think that Kristen Bell's post-'Veronica Mars' gig is a guest arc on 'Heroes.' But we think she's better suited to a role as a Grecian goddess. She downright dazzling in this strapless periwinkle dress.

Best: Pocket Power

Jane Krakowski comes up with a unique solution to the usual red carpet tiny-purse dilemma. Her chic, '70s-style Pamela Roland halter dress features a frock with pockets. Breath mints anyone?
