Fashion Police: Week of January 11

By Chris Jancelewicz Posted Jan 11th 2010 02:00AM

From Angelina Jolie's maternal instincts to Madonna's desperate attempt to recapture her youth, PopEater Canada brings you the sartorial successes and big messes from the red carpets of Hollywood.

This week, we troll the red carpet of the People's Choice Awards and discover that while people may love these actors for their thespian abilities, they certainly don't love them for their fashion sense. Notable offenders this week include the ever-present Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, and Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger.

Fashion Police: Week of January 11

Nicole Scherzinger
We think Nicole misunderstood the memo - you're there to potentially pick up awards, not dress like one. The bronzed Pussycat Doll is...well, really bronze. At least after the show they can recycle her gown into artillery.

Fashion Police: Week of January 11

Getty

Carrie Underwood
Upon closer inspection of this dress, maybe Carrie should have led the pack this week. What is up with that black mesh cape? Atrocious!

Getty

Jessica Alba
Some members of our team were enraptured with this dress, but others were not so impressed. On one hand, it makes Jessica look teensy-tiny, but it also throws off all proportions. She looks like a skeleton with a Bobblehead.

Diane Kruger
Every week we fall more in love with Diane. How does one woman manage to be so effortlessly fashionable and sexy at every single event? This clingy dress is smokin', and the shoes are about as seductive as that come-hither stare.

Getty

Sandra Bullock
Nope, that's not a mannequin. It appears Sandra stole the curtains from her dowdy hotel room and slapped them on for the awards show. Thankfully she's adorable, so she can pull it off.

Getty

Mariah Carey
Mariah paints on another outfit for a Cartier/Mercedes-Benz event. Must everything be so skin-tight, Mariah? We feel sorry for your internal organs.

Getty

Kelly Rutherford
Remember those gowns that came along with Barbie? It seems Kelly got her hands on a life-sized one, replete with a Bedazzled harness.

Getty

Olivia Wilde
Olivia's heading to prom, everybody! Judging by her 2009 breakout year, she'll probably be prom queen with very little effort.

Getty

Portia Doubleday
Cute as a bug's ear? Yes. Pale and washed out? Sadly, yes. Portia is relatively new to showbiz, so it'll take her a while to get used to what she should and shouldn't wear. When your skin is beautifully pale, it's best to not wear white/cream.

Katie Cassidy
Oh, Katie, Katie, Katie. What IS this? The 'Melrose Place' actress was horribly mistaken when she selected this disaster. Was the seamstress drunk when she was sewing this thing? And check out the asymmetrical shoulders! Ugh!
