Check out these lovely ladies and let us know who you think was best dressed:

1. Taylor Swift in Julien Macdonald

Taylor turned up the glamour in a sparkling golden minidress by Julien Macdonald. Its daring hemline showcased her long, lean legs, which were perfectly complemented by strappy Jimmy Choo “Madison” sandals.

2. Jennifer Hudson in Christian Dior

Bright colors can be hard to pull off, but Jennifer Hudson seemed to have no problem doing so. The curvy singer totally rocked a neon number by Christian Dior.

The striking dress boasted a high-low hemline and a peekaboo neon pink lining, while J-Hud added a bold touch with electric blue eyeliner, making her look both fun and fierce.

3. Heidi Klum in Marchesa

We’re a bit on the fence about Heidi’s red carpet look because of the rather unappealing fringe bottom of her Marchesa Spring 2014 dress.

We would have loved the sheer lace dress if it weren’t for that bit of detail. What do you think?

4. Jordin Sparks in Jovani Couture

Jordin looked like a gorgeous glamazon girl in a stud-embellished Jovani Couture dress.

The bodice of this halterneck dress is adorned with countless gold-tone studs, and its skirt has a sexy thigh-high slit. Jordin added fierceness to the look with her high braided ponytail and caged Schutz heels.
