Elizabeth Banks in Bill Blass - USC Shoah Foundation Institute Ambassadors for Humanity Gala

Elizabeth Banks continues her good run in the fashion stakes.

Last week, she attended the USC Shoah Foundation Institute Ambassadors for Humanity Gala in Hollywood.

For the event, Elizabeth wore a teal satin Bill Blass Fall 2012 dress with black cut-outs at the waist.  She looked elegant in this dress.

It was styled with a quiff updo, triangular earrings and black sandals.

Elizabeth Banks In Bill Blass - 'The Hunger Games' London Premiere

Elizabeth Banks is all about bright colours this week.

After wearing a Versace Couture dress at the LA premiere of 'The Hunger Games' (click here to see), she wore a Bill Blass Spring 2012 gown to the movie's London premiere.

  

The sunflower-yellow column dress with stripes of sequins, cap sleeves and a low back brightened up the scene.

 

 Elizabeth completed the look with a matching clutch & Jimmy Choo heels; I prefer her hair like this than that straight hairstyle she sported at the LA premiere.

2012 Golden Globes - Neutrals

Charlize Theron wore a Christian Dior Couture dress that had a plunging front & back, an oversized bow at the waist & thigh-high split.  She wore her hair in a soft, romantic style and sparkled in Cartier jewels.  Also, those white Givenchy sandals are killer.

Heidi Klum kept things very minimal this year, in this peachy  

Calvin Klein Collection number with a a plunging back which she paired with a statement turqouise neck piece by Lorraine Schwartz.  She kept her hair straight and went natural with her make-up.

Mary J. Blige wore a custom Michael Kors dress.  I like the sparkly top and the halter neck, but the feathered train is something I've never particularly liked.  She wore hair in an interesting updo, added geometric chandelier earrings & carried a Jimmy Choo purse.

'Bridesmaids' actress, Kristen Wiig wore a plunge neck Bill Blass dress.  Not loving this colour, I really wish she'd gone for a brighter hue, like a teal or even green as those would have have paired great with her dark locks.  She's wearing Fred Leighton jewelery & Nicholas Kirkwood heels.

Kate Beckinsale wore a custom Roberto Cavalli gown.  The corsetted, embroidered dress also had a flared hem.  The shape was stunning on Kate although I'm not keen on the pale colour.  She wore it with a high updo, Lorraine Schwartz earrings & stacked cuffs.

Amy Poehler attended the event in a Naeem Khan Spring 2012 dress.  The shimmery, beaded column dress had three-quarter sleeves.  Amy's hair was curled up in a classic do and she wore Van Cleef & Arpel baubles.

Katharine McPhee was the only celeb to shun the full-scale gown for a more contemporary cocktail dress made by Donna Karan.  It's a beautiful dress but just didn't stand ground when compared to all the above dresses.
