Last night’s red carpet for Disney ABC Television Group’s 2012 Winter TCA Press Tour All-Star Party left us truly inspired. Jennifer Morrison, Kerry Washington, Krysten Ritter and Leslie Bibb put their own unique spin on red carpet dressing with short and chic looks that included sparkles, cutouts and stylish detailing. We especially appreciate Jennifer’s look which can easily work for day or night.

Awards season, movie premieres, what seems like just a day at the grocery store can bring out the best in Hollywood starlets. We love seeing who really brings the drama and glamour in a gown, and this year was no exception. We present the best red carpet gowns of 2011.

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy: Cate Blanchett’s Oscars gown was equal parts futuristic, dramatic and just plain glamorous. We love that she’s not afraid to take chances, even at the biggest red carpet night of the year.

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Couture: Lavender and lace with intricate cutouts set the stage for Mila at the Oscars this year. All eyes were on her … and, yes, her lace-accented cleavage, too.

Emma Watson in Oscar de la Renta: At the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Emma proved she’s no longer the little girl of ten years ago. She was the picture of Hollywood glamour with her close-cropped bob and petal-like confection.

Olivia Wilde in Marchesa: At the Golden Globes, Olivia looked like the most beautiful starry night in this Marchesa stunner.

Hailee Steinfeld in Prada: The young actress who loves to take chances on the red carpet did so again in this brightly hued striped gown at the SAG Awards.

There are some celebs who just knocked it out of the park every time they stepped onto the red carpet. Here are our favorite red carpet darlings of 2011.

Chloe Grace Moretz: Not only is the 14-year-old becoming a major actress, starring in movies like Hugo and (500) Days of Summer, but she just looks fantastic every time she’s on the red carpet! We can’t even pick a favorite look, but we’re loving her in Stella McCartney at Gossip Girl’s celebration of 100 episodes.

Emma Stone: The girl’s been everywhere this year, and her style has continued to evolve while maintaining a sense of fun and youth—like when she wore this colorblocked Giambattista Valli dress to the Friends With Benefits premiere, for example.

Blake Lively: The Gossip Girl star always wows on the red carpet, and this year was no exception. Whether she’s in Marchesa, like she was here, or in Chanel, she just commands attention.

Zoe Saldana: Ever since Avatar, Zoe sure has made an impression on the red carpet. This was definitely one of our favorite looks of hers from this past year.

Elle Fanning: Dakota’s younger sis is so sweet every time she shows up on the red carpet. We love her flowy skirts, flowers, pretty pastels … and the fact that she’s always completely age appropriate.

Hailee Steinfeld: Hailee takes chances on the red carpet, which we love. She plays with color, she plays with proportion, and she’s never afraid to be herself.

Katie Holmes looked fabulous on the red carpet for hubby Tom Cruise’s new movie Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol wearing a swiss dot dress from her label Holmes & Yang. We love the sheer detailing of the illusion neckline and sleeves and the perfectly pretty ruffles of the skirt. Check out other looks from the line here.

Sandra Bullock, usually known for her girl next door appeal, went for chic glamor on the red carpet at yesterday’s New York premiere for her new movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Sandra’s figure flattering black pantsuit by Alexander McQueen and pin straight tresses created a sleek and stylish look.
