Red is a perennial red carpet fashion choice, but it doesn’t always work well. Case in point: Dianna Agron’s kooky cut-out number with laser-cut swans. Too much going on. Even Ryan Seacrest said he wasn’t sure where to look. Reese Witherspoon’s shiny, rust-colored Zac Posen gown didn’t do much for her either.

Emma Stone showed ‘em red done right -- in a maroon and fuchsia pleated Lanvin gown with an eagle belt buckle. A fashion superhero for sure.
