The red carpet saw its fair share of sequins, metallics and lace, but all of that sparkle and sexiness was no match for Katie Holmes‘s basic LBD.

Her knee-length number earned more than 15,700 votes and nabbed the top spot on our best dressed list this week.

Holmes wore the winning creation — which features flutter sleeves and a V-neckline — with two-tone Gio Diev pumps (love!) to a Quentin Tarantino tribute at N.Y.C.’s MoMA on Monday.

PHOTOS: SEE THE TOP 10 BEST DRESSED STARS ON PEOPLE THIS WEEK! 

Close behind Holmes in the number-two spot was Taylor Swift, who’s actually found herself in two of the top five spots on our weekly best dressed list.

Swift’s runner-up look (worn to N.Y.C.’s Ripple of Hope gala on Monday) consisted of a gold tulle embroidered Oscar de la Renta tea-length design, nude Jimmy Choo pumps and Lorraine Schwartz earrings. And if you’re as smitten as everyone else is with this festive ensemble, click here to get the look for less.

To check out Swift’s other ranking outfit (it’s totally different from her Oscar de la Renta dress), and to find out who else earned a place in the top 10, click here. Tell us: Whose outfit do you like better: Holmes’s LBD or Swift’s gold party dress?

It’s nice to see her back to looking like herself. She looks happy.

julie on

love the long hair

GuesT on

Are you kidding me??? She looks messy like her kid.

thinkonit on

What the heck, I thought they were talking about me!!!!

Danielle on

Katie will shine again…..after this rough time in her life…..her beauty and undeniable passion for life will reign again.

Al on

She always look messy and dirty!!!

Megan on

Does she look pretty? Yes, but it’s a simple, safe, and boring LBD.

Fashion is suppose to be fun, take risks, a showstopper! My choice would be Anne Hathaway’s Givenchy Haute Couture gown from the Les Miserables London premiere!

sassy sam on

To Al and Gues T and Megan,
Why are you sooooo jealous of Katie???

Marie Mullin on

Her legs look like mine and I’m 30 yrs older.

Paige on

I like the look but what is wrong with her left arm?

Guest on

I disagree with the boring comment, It looks simple and classy. Great winter look!

TheNiteNurse on

Not feeling it.

Deni Smith on

Ever notice her feet are always pointing in when a picture is taken of her?

Southern Lady on

Love the dress! But why do these women always pose pigeon-toed?

faye on

Come on People mag, you’ve got to be kidding. KH is an average looking woman with an average to middle-age type figure. Her clothes are boring and so is she.

lilah on

Go, Katie! So happy for her. Best wishes for a very bright future.

Kel on

Am I the only one that thinks she has deformed elephant legs??

Cooper on

Her pose is strange, it looks like she’s gotta pee!

Lace on

Still waiting for the pic of the “well dressed star” to load. All I see is a rode hard and put away wet, Katie Holmes. Are we talking about the cute kid in the GNC ad on the page or what?

Elsa Caceres on

Glad that she has her own life now!
She looks simple…that is her!

carolyn on

Someone needs to show her how to “pose”. She is so pidgeon toed that she looks ridiculous~ She looks very unkept and illadvised on her style.

Yoga on

Katie looks really pretty. I love the dress and the shoes together. The pose is a little awkward, but doesn’t that sometimes happen to the best of us?

She looks cute. Too bad she’s posed like she trying not to pee her pants.
