Stone's second attempt at casual chic—remember her Gap turtleneck of yore?—gets bounced. ''She went back to the well too many times,'' Schwartz says of Stone's pairing a silvery satin skirt with a white shirt borrowed from her hubby.

Alien tentacles seemed to escape from her hair, while her dress suffered from a bad case of Ice Storm-style ennui. ''She's normally a standout,'' laments Melissa. Adds Pike: ''The dress looked flimsy. Plus she didn't walk on those heels too well.''

Winslet in Givenchy

A sink-or-swim moment. Winslet's Titanic-style gown divides the critics. ''Gorgeous,'' insists Pike. Schwartz is lukewarm, while Joan jabs, ''We now know why Billy Zane was running after her shooting in the movie. It was her wardrobe.''
