It’s nice to take a break from Fashion Week and see what these designer creations look like on an “every day” body. Because of course Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn look amazing in everything, but how do these dresses translate on women who aren’t a size 6 and 5’10?

The answer? Look to the red carpet. As with every event, some ladies were perfection. Others not so much.

Kerry Washington looks flawless (as usual) in Zuhair Murad.

Annie Illonzeh in Romona Keveza.

Taraji P Henson in an uninspiring Blumarine gown.

Rashida Jones in Alberta Ferretti.

Sophia Vergara wows in Vera Wang.

Paz de la Huerta looks awful!

Loretta Devine needed a better fitting top.

Padma Lakshmi looks bland in gold.

TV presenter Shaun Robsinson

Glee’s Amber Riley looks good!

Who do you think looked best on the night?
