Um, No: Emmy Rossum

Remember how we said Emmy Rossum really never falters when it comes to red carpet events? Well, maybe she got tired of being "the good one," and decided to try a headache-inducing bodycon dress by Ferragamo at GQ's Gentlemen's Ball last night.

To be fair, we understand -- even Gwyneth Paltrow broke down and wore that goth outfit to the Oscars one year. And Ms. Rossum has the body to back up this kind of figure-hugging ensemble. However, the sheer, zig-zagging patterns make the flattering outlines of her body too hard to make out, resulting in a rather dizzying effect (and not in a good way). All in all, a rather sophisticated way wardrobe don't, but a don't nonetheless.
