Earlier this week my ex-uber boss, Oprah Winfrey, hosted an evening at the Lincoln Centre in New York City. It was in honour of designer, Ralph Lauren. And the queen wore a very well fitted, and flattering, red Ralph Lauren creation in her usual style of off-the-shoulder and fitted in at the waist. Well, the lady knows what works and when she sticks to the formula, it always works. A life lesson, I think she would say.

Also in attendance were two Lauren daughters, and a whole host of Hollywood actresses, all dressed in Ralph Lauren. The most successful of these were Camilla Belle (look at that hem detail!) and Jessica Alba (don't you think that beading detail is quite African?)

And then there was Kerry Washington. Such a wee lass, and yet this dress knocked the socks off all the other comers. Awesome dramatic neckline, and perfect simplicity for the rest. Impeccable. I have to say, these beautiful young starlets were doing wonders for The RL brand at this function! So who do you think was best dressed? Pick one and vote. I am going with Kerry. How about you?
