The 32nd Annual Carousel of Hope Ball was characterized by would-be bridal gowns and pops of red.

Some of my favorite looks included those of Jennifer Lopez (looking drop-dead gorgeous in an asymmetrical Georges Chakra Spring 2010 Couture gown), Halle Berry (looking red-hot in a silk YSL Pre-Fall 2010 gown ruched at the waist) and Brandy (glowing in a chiffon gown with criss-cross detailing along the bodice and beautiful beading along the sweetheart neckline).

While statement-making, both Hilton styles fell lower on the totem pole.
