Charlize Theron Somehow she reminds you how good she probably looks naked while being completely covered up. The lace gown doesn't do anything special for her figure, but it can be worn again as a mother-of-the-bride dress in twenty years. Photo: Stephen Lovekin/2012 Getty Images

Sofia Vergara As one of the sexiest women alive, Sofia Vergara could wear a sheet and still look stunning — hell, she could wear Arianna Huffington's yellow disaster and make it look good. But this little black cocktail dress is underwhelming and seems a bit casual for an event that you know Barack Obama and Kim Kardashian will be attending. Photo: Stephen Lovekin/2012 Getty Images

Dakota Fanning Dressing for an event like this can be tricky for a young actress. You can go the Lindsay Lohan route or you can try to keep it classy without looking too mature.

Viola Davis This structured dress in such a bold color could be too much on many actresses, but Viola Davis pulls it off because she just looks so happy.
