Beyonce at Gotham Magazine Gala - StyleFab!

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style

Revealing on the Red Carpet

    This ladies and gentlemen, is what a superstar looks like: Beyonce wearing the heck out of a deceptively simple looking black turtleneck dress at the Gotham Magazine gala. She's gorgeous!

    This is what people are talking about when they praise Beyonce's curves. She looks like a fantasy creation, and even though she is as covered up as possible -- what kind of shoes is she even wearing? No one knows! -- nothing is left to the imagination.

    And this is how you put together an outfit for an event. Her hair: striking -- pulled back, out of the way, not fighting with the dress. The only jewelry: bold but simple earrings. She's not even wearing her 18 carat engagement ring, just some shiny red nail polish.

    She is, however, wearing 10 pounds of "You're damn right I'm fabulous" attitude, which is what really puts this in the StyleFab history books for us. Sasha Fierce rulz!

    Of course, Beyonce isn't the only celeb who goes revealing on the red carpet. The question is: Who pulls it off, and who's revealing too much?

    Rose McGowan's barely-there "dress" is a little (OK a lot) too much.

    Keira Knightley's tattered rags look like a stiff breeze could make the actress considerably less decent.

    Someone should've told Gwyneth Paltrow that you can see right through that dress -- and we'd prefer not to.

    That's an interesting place for see-through fabric -- fortunately Teri Hatcher can make anything look amazing.

    Backs are sexy, butt cracks are not -- even when it's Heidi Klum's.

    Tess Smith leaves very little to the imagination with this super-skimpy wrap-dress-thing.

    Anne Hathaway appears to have forgotten something -- it's called a bra.

    Kate Bosworth uses some strategically-placed stripes to conceal her private parts.

    Uma Thurman also seems to have forgotten her undergarments.
