The Twilight Breaking Dawn — Part 2 premiere wasn’t Monday’s only red carpet fashion event.

On the other coast, A-listers celebrated women of style and substance at Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards in New York City. At the magazine’s annual fete, the red carpet was filled with today’s top tastemakers — and their fabulous fashions.

Honorees Selena Gomez,  Lena Dunham, and J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons, as well as a bevy of A-list presenters and guests, including Julianna Margulies, Tyra Banks, Chelsea Clinton, made a fashionable appearance, as the magazine honored women who made a difference in 2012.

While sheer, emerald and oxblood lips were the red carpet’s top trends at the Twilight premiere, the fashion at Glamour‘s big red carpet event was far more eclectic, with the night’s leading ladies showing off their unique personal styles.

From sheer and lace to tuxedo pants and geometric prints, this fete was all about fearless females — and fashion.

Check out the hottest looks in our red carpet recap. Then share your faves.

It’s a match made in reality show heaven: Chelsea Kane and Laguna Beach alum Stephen Colletti made their new romance official by attending a Dancing with the Stars after-party together at The Abbey in West Hollywood.

Chelsea and Stephen hung out with her handsome dance partner (and rumored new beau of American Idol castoff Pia Toscano) Mark Ballas and model Petra Nemcova at the low-key event. Kane wore a brown silk top and black skinny jeans while her beau opted for a black leather jacket and t-shirt. Later, the two lovebirds were spotted leaving the party together. So, how did Chelsea and Stephen meet?

“We were set up on a blind date by my manager,” the Disney star tells Us Weekly. Apparently Chelsea was a fan of Stephen’s from back when he was stuck in a never-ending love triangle on MTV’s Laguna Beach! Hey, who can blame her?

Here’s model Petra Nemcova, lovely as always but slightly overdressed.

Primarily known for looking stunning and clinging for dear life to a palm tree for eight hours during the 2004 Thailand tsunami, Petra donned a scanty pink dress to commemorate her inauguration as spokesmodel for Otto, a German mail-order company.

Or someone’s dog. Or a robot built by a mad scientist for the purpose of taking over the world. The specifics are a bit fuzzy at the moment. Damn it, why are you even reading this right now, when there are perfectly fine photos to ogle?

Anyway, it sure is nice of Petra to give everyone else a reason to celebrate on her big day.

Taking a break from the nonstop screenings at the Cannes Film Festival, celebrities flocked to Le Moulin de Mougins (translation: the Moulin of Mougins) today to attend the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS fundraiser.

The gala event, which was sponsored by Bold Films, jewelry company Chopard, the Weinstein Company, Audi, Canal + and Hewlett Packard, featured a formal dinner, auction and abbreviated screening of I Am Because We Are, a documentary about Malawian AIDS orphans produced and narrated by Madonna, who was one of the evening’s most highly anticipated guests.

Madge was joined by a slew of celebrities who gussied up for a good cause, including Petra Nemcova, Dita Von Teese, Christian Slater, Juliette Lewis, Natalie Portman and Donatella Versace—for whom, sadly, there is still no cure in sight.

Also on hand, fervent AIDS activist Sharon Stone, who looked sassy but elegant in a leopard-print dress. Okay, not as elegant as she did earlier in the day, but she does what she can. Click in to see stars doing the Cannes-Cannes…

Using her feminine wiles to attract a maximum of attention, Petra Nemcova bared a good portion of her breast tissue on the red carpet in Cannes. The New York Daily News is suggesting that Petra’s choice of a white gown with a plunging neckline was a ploy to get the attention of one Sean Penn. The two were briefly linked during Sean’s most recent split from wife Robin Wright, and back in February the moody actor boldly showed up to Elton John‘s Oscar party with Nemcova on his arm.

A source revealed that Petra was “flirting heavily with [Sean] at the Chopard party” and said that at another party on a yacht, Nemcova seemed to be dancing with a guy just to make Penn jealous.

But Nemcova really pulled out the big guns (not just her mammaries) when she sidled up to Robin at a party thrown by the editor of Vanity Fair, Graydon Carter. The source dished that both Penn’s sometimes almost ex-wife and the Czech model appeared to be engaged in deep conversation when Sean noticed from across the room and guided Robin to come “meet my friend” on the other side of the room.

Oh, to be a fly on Petra’s cleavage during that conversation…
