2009 Independent Spirit Awards Poll

Lucy isn't one to say no to sublime pink Lanvin contours. She looks beyond pretty in pink in her bubble gum frock. Is it too much for you?

If this is what 40 looks like, sign me up. Lucy Liu rarely, if ever, has a red-carpet misstep, and this is no exception. Her dress flatters her complexion, her hair is lustrous, and her makeup gives her a gorgeous glow while letting her cute freckles show through. I'm clearly a fan. Are you?

Have you seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona yet? It's such a pretty film, made only more beautiful by the illustrious Penélope Cruz. It's no wonder why she was nominated for her performance in the movie. But enough about her film, let's discuss her red-carpet look. From a makeup viewpoint, the focus is most definitely on her super dark and smoky eyes, where she chose a chocolate color that complemented her brown dress. The tone of her highlights is of a similar color. It's no surprise, then, that her cheeks have more of an auburn hue than the typical rosy tint. Tell me, how are you liking Penelope's autumnal aura?

I love my girl Cameron and this is a fine example as to why. She stands out on the blue carpet in a horizontal stripe, black and red dress that manages to be both ladylike and modern. Round toe patent pumps and cool black jewelry round things out. And she's still got that killer smile. Are you with me?

Cameron Diaz sure has the tousled hair look down pat. Proving that you don't have to wear red lips when wearing a red dress, she sticks to pink all the way, including a pop of the feminine color on her cheeks. Her baby blue eyes are dramatic with black liner placed along the waterline. Are you loving it?

Although most of you preferred Jessica's hair long and wavy, I think she looks no less lovely with this shorter look. With bangs swept off to either side, her locks are softly curled to skim her shoulders.

Jessica plays up her natural beauty with natural makeup. Other than liner, light lavender eyeshadow (which matches her dress), and glossy lips, she looks afternoon-appropriate with little makeup. Do you like her casually chic face or would you rather she go glam?

Actress Kerry Washington seems to realize that you're never fully dressed without a smile. Along with that happy expression, she's wearing warm makeup colors, and a loosely waved hairstyle. Bright apricot blush, coppery eye shadow, and neutral lip gloss contrast with her cool, royal blue dress. Some smudgy black liner and highlighter under the brow bones bring the focus up towards her eyes. What do you think of Kerry's red carpet style? Is it stunning or just so-so?

It's a sunny day in Santa Monica, I'll give her that, but those oversized sunglasses make it pretty hard to evaluate Mariah Carey's makeup. I can see her well-outlined eyes, but I'm not sure what kind of shadow or mascara she's also working up there while working the red carpet. Her cheeks are lightly colored and her lipstick's a glossy pink — no glitter in sight.

For her hair, Mariah opts for a middle part with loose waves that don't look overly styled. Do you like her look or do you simply wish we could see more?

OK, before we talk about Eliza Dushku's style here, I urge you to start TiVo-ing Dollhouse. Eliza stars in this new show from Joss Whedon — yes, he of Buffy brilliance — and my Whedon-worshippin' self doesn't want it to be canceled.

Now then, as for her look. I like how she's combined the typical "long, sexy waves" hairstyle with a braid to liven things up. And her skin is absolutely radiant. Compared to last year's look, this is more sophisticated. Do you think she looks like a doll, or have you lost faith in this look?

Nominated for her role in Rachel Getting Married, Anne Hathaway looked casual and cool at today's Independent Spirit Awards. Maybe it's the fact that I can't stop staring at her wide eyes or even wider grin that makes it almost hard to notice how decidedly bare she is today. Her hair is straight and simple. Her eyes are lightly lined, with just a touch of mascara. Her lips are nearly nude. What do you think? Is Anne too plain, or fabulously flawless?
