At a look-at-me event like the Golden Globes, nothing should trump the "Does this really flatter me?" card. Yet when choosing a gown, even women who have great bodies can look like they've ballooned with an unflattering trend, style, color or fabric.

Getting over the end of her marriage to Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson dresses not as a femme fatale but in an appropriately soft and romantic way wearing the color of the night: pink blush. Her Elie Saab dress boasts an easy, simple silhouette that flatters most women, with a V-neck showing a hint of cleavage, an empire waist and butterfly sleeves to hide arm jiggle, not that she has any. Points off for the '80s do, but nobody's perfect.
