See which stars are stealing the spotlight on fashion's biggest, boldest night.

BEYONCÉ KNOWLES The World's Most Beautiful Woman easily hangs on to her title in a majorly sheer Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci embroidered gown with a jaw-dropping purple ombré train. Well, that's one way to show you've lost all the baby weight, B! SCARLETT JOHANSSON Dolce & Gabbana's beautiful face dazzles in a one-of-a-kind, pearl-embroidered, off-the-shoulder gown with a fit-to-flare silhouette, Christian Louboutin heels and very simple accessories. ROONEY MARA Stepping out in a stark Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci style, Rooney softens her typically hard look with layers of lace, a sheer skirt and rosy lips. KRISTEN WIIG One of Time's Most Influential People continues to stand out, wearing a full-skirt orange Stella McCartney lace number with two-tone platform pumps, also by the designer, and a putty-colored clutch. Christina Ricci

Going for the bold in a black lace two-piece dress with an enormous pale pink ruffle around the bodice, black patent pumps and Tiffany & Co. jewels, the actress updates a '60s silhouette.
