One of the major perils of award season is making sure that you don’t wear the same dress as someone else – see Jessica Biel’s Golden Globes faux-pas. The latest victims are Mischa Barton and Pink, who turned up in the same Temperley London gown over the weekend. Pink arrived to Clive Davis’s legendary pre-Grammy party on Saturday in a black version of the floral topped gown, while Mischa bloomed in a white version at the PEOPLE post Grammy party on Sunday night. The ladies definitely have very different styles, so we’re a little surprised to see them in a fashion faceoff! Tell us: Who do you think wore the gown better? Mischa or Pink?

Usually comfortable bras come in the form of a beige, amorphous apparatus we’d be mortified to expose in a locker room, much less in the bedroom. But upscale lingerie line Le Mystère has produced a bra called the Francesca, with cups structured with memory foam that mold to their wearer’s individual shape. For something that’s so practical and offer so much support, these lacy bras sure are sexy. Celeb fans of the Francesca bra include Courteney Cox and Teri Hatcher. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, you can pick up your own from figleaves.com, $75.

First Selma Blair got a radical ’80s haircut, and now she’s gone for high impact color! Selma emerged from her salon last week, having ditched her naturally black hair for platinum, almost-white locks. We don’t know yet if it’s a role or just for fun, but it’s shocking to see her with such light hair. We love that takes such risks with her looks, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: What do you think of Selma Blair’s new platinum hair color? Love it or Hate it?

Mary J. Blige is the undisputed diva of last night’s Grammys — from her eight nominations, four wins, two performances and four outfit changes! Mary entered the show in a goddess-style Michael Kors beaded gown and braided bun, which she wore until she changed into a cut-out sparkling white Armani gown to perform her massive hit, “Be Without You”. But when Mary performed “Runaway Love” with Ludacris, it was a whole new singer out on stage in a form-fitting red jumpsuit and 70’s style flip. She left her hair down and changed into a halter-neck white jersey Michael Kors gown to finish off her evening and pose with her awards. We love Mary no matter what she wears (as long as it isn’t fuzzy and yellow). Tell us: Which of Mary’s Grammy Looks did you like best? Goddess gown or white sparkler? Red jumpsuit or white halter?

Forget the blinged out watches and medallions — the real sparkle on the red carpet came from the sequined metallic dresses that ruled the red carpet. From Vanessa’s silver sequins to Hilary’s sexy gold Dolce & Gabanna to Fergie’s shimmering steel Badgley Mischka, short and shiny was the major look of the night. Even for the ladies who didn’t wear it head to toe, metallic accents popped up on Nelly Furtado, Beyonce and many more. The key to making the look work? Keeping the hemlines above the knee and accessories to a minimum. Tell us: What do you think of the metallic dresses? Is this a trend you would try?
