"If you suddenly find yourself alternately swooning, sighing, crying, swelling with pride for womanhood and erupting into spontaneous fits of laughter while reading this post, you&amp;#x27;ll understand a bit what it was like to attend this year&amp;#x27;s 21st annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards. The room was filled with utterly inspiring female figures--more on that coming later at Smitten and in our exclusive video!--and you better believe they dressed to kill. Check out the looks, then case your vote for best dressed! Jennifer Lopez accepted her award from Donatella Versace, wearing a dress by the iconic Italian designer. The thigh-high slit showed off those hard-earned dancer&amp;#x27;s legs, while the style advice that came with the look was just as impressive: &amp;quot;My grandma taught me, always go out looking nice, because people like that.&amp;quot; We&amp;#x27;re pretty sure she&amp;#x27;d be proud tonight! Another of the evening&amp;#x27;s honorees, Tory Burch, rocked the red carpet in a more understated way wearing--what else!?--Tory Burch. Her lace-sleeve dress is the epitome of the ladylike-with-a-twist signature we&amp;#x27;ve come to know and love her for. Her celebrity date for the evening, also wearing one of her designs, was Jessica Alba, who proclaimed her love for Tory&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;comfy sweaters&amp;quot; during the awards ceremony. Either that sequined dress is absolute magic, or girlfriend lost her baby weight faster than most women take to get over a bad date. Kerry Washington pulled off the near-impossible trick of making yellow look easy to wear in this strapless gown by Marchesa. The lemon chiffon number flattered her figure perfectly, and her sparkly accessories were the perfect complement. Funny chick Chelsea Handler went a riskier route in this clingy Stella McCartney jumpsuit. Maybe she was inspired by BFF Jennifer Aniston, who presented her with her award and was showing some serious skin of her own? LaLa Anthony was one of the few women to bring a bold splash of color to the red carpet, in this one-shoulder coral dress with a highly fabulous bow detail. And we love how she matched her lipstick to her dress! Emma Stone--doing the Grecian goddess thing in Lanvin--had the honor of presenting our inspiring 21-and-under honorees (all decked out in Rent the Runway dresses!) with their awards. And finally we have Lea Michele, who sparkled like a true star in a sequined dress by Jenny Packham (remember when Kate Middleton wore a similar one from the same collection?). The advice she gave, passed down by her mother, was the only thing that upstaged that dress: &amp;quot;Stand for something, or you&amp;#x27;ll fall for everything.&amp;quot; There you have it, gals...our favorite looks from the Women of the Year red carpet!
