Take a cue from these shining stars and show some shoulder love. I prefer Anne's simple, angular frock, but feel free to make a bold statement a la Charlize in decadent Giambattisa Valli or get sweet like Sienna's Dior. The trick to shoulder love is making sure the top portion fits you to perfection — we don't want you looking like a burly football player. Keep the rest sleek and best to pull your hair back so the shoulders can steal the show.

A little off topic, but I think the Giambattisa Valli on Charlize Theron looks ten times better on Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover of the July issue of Marie Claire. Charlize looks too proper/put together with her hair up and the dark lips, and the poufy part of the dress looks like a feather boa falling off her neck. I think the dress looks so much more natural on SJP, and I like her hair down + the different makeup.
1I love this look, as long as it's not too overboard, and I don't care for the feathers, but the poofy sleeves look nice.
2I don't care for this look, but if i had to choose it would be Anne Hathaway's look.
3I'm not feeling Anne's look. It reminds of of overly shoulder padded items that were very popular in the 80s. Although I like some of the trends from that period, this is not one of them. I do like the others though...
4I have to be careful with these b/c I have very broad shoulders.
5The last McQueen dress is sharp.
I think I would actually wear the Mcqueen dress. I wouldn't wear anything that looks like the shoulder look from the 80s (even though big shoulders are really from the 40s). It's not a look I'm interested in since I like having small shoulders. I do like small puff sleeves though.
6No shoulder pads please ... the 80's are over for a reason
7i like the VS top
8i really dont want to look like a football player when im all dolled up. thanks, but no thanks.
9No thanks.
10I love the shoulder detail - particularly the poofy sleeve. I do not care for the style of Anne's dress. It's too much of a nod to the 80's shoulder pad look. That trend should NOT circle back.
11I really like the natural shape of shoulders.. shoulder pads are just bizarre to me.
12That GV is so me.
13Not my favorite look...
14it's terrible...
15i love anne, but what the hell is she wearing? it's like the 80s all over again.
16I like the b&w Tracy Reese dress, everything else feels tired. Big shoulders should *not* come back.
17i love little accents on the shoulders! plus there's a difference btwn huge 80s style shoulder pads and a structured, tailored look. hello - balenciaga! fab. my problem is, while i have nice toned shoulders, they are also quite wide so i have to be careful how to pull off this look. maybe a oneshouldered deal would be best (like the ASOS dress)? anyone else have this same problem?
18ok. This is freakish - I totally called that Charlize would wear that GV back in February.

19Excellent call, syako!! They should totally give you FASHIONISTA status for this because I love it!!!!
