The stars were out in Los Angeles over the weekend for the annual NAACP awards. The award ceremony honors people of color in film, television, music and the arts.

Oscar nominee Sandra Bullock arrived wearing a dress by Alexander McQueen. Although McQueen has proved a good choice for Sandra in the past on this occasion it seems not. The high neck and mid calf length features of the dress do nothing for Sandra’s figure and actually would be ideal for someone much older. As reiterated in the past with Carrie Mulligan’s Vionnet Bafta dress, awards gowns should always be plain with minimal embroidery and detail. We are expecting a much much better gown at the Oscars from this Hollywood heavyweight.

In contrast Disney channel star Selena Gomez wore an ethereal strapless white gown by Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika. The gown is undoubtedly stunning but perhaps 17 year old Selena should wait a few years to wear such gowns.
