But then there's the Sasha steel fierceness of Beyonce's metallic silver Elie Saab gown, which not only packs the perfect silhouette but injects some much needed glam.

Back on the negative hand, consider the painful mediocrity of Penelope Cruz. While always gorgeous, there's something ho-hum about the sparse horizontal metal detail on this gauzy gown.
