Ayyix1: Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection

The Heart-y Girls.

Darlings, it's the Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection fashion during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week!

"The Heart Truth will once again bring the Red Dress to life on the runway at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City, with the debut of the Red Dress Collection 2011. Being held for the first time at Lincoln Center, this stunning event will showcase the power of the Red Dress, and encourage women to protect their heart health and take action to lower their risk for heart disease."

A wonderful cause and a wonderful way to raise awareness. BUT ALSO a parade of celebrities running from B-List all the way down the alphabet wearing some pretty cracktastic gowns and being kind of adorably awkward.

Except this year the gowns weren't as crack- or promtastic as they usually are. There were some rather stylish crimson frocks to be found among the usual parade of red goddess gowns. Check it:

Alison Sweeney in Tadashi Shoji

She's definitely got the figure for the dress, which is pretty standard otherwise.

Ann Curry in Carmen Marc Valvo

We'd like it more if it wasn't so satiny.

Archie Penjabi in J. Mendel

Pretty.

Audrina Patridge in Badgley Mischka

That's a pretty hot dress, we have to say.

Camila Alves in Kaufmanfranco

Look! It's that woman who killed Shear Genius!

Dania Ramirez in Malandrino

It's got some interest to it. We like the shade of red.

Denise Richards in Matthew Williamson

Standard.

Was T Lo talking about the dress or the celebrity? You make the call!

Eva Amurri in Chris Benz

We like that it's not yet another sheath gown. It's cute, but definitely for a specific girl.

Eve in David Meister

Pretty.

Garcelle Beauvais in Monique Lhuillier

The last time we saw that dress, it was "disguising" a roll of toilet paper on a great aunt's commode.

Gayle King in Donna Karan

We searched for snark, but came up empty. It's a fine dress and she looks good.

Snark would have been more fun, though.

Giuliana Rancic in Marchesa

An utterly shapeless dress. It looks like they wrapped yards and yards of fabric around her midsection, pinned it, and shoved her out on the runway.

Dita Von Teese in Zac Posen

She is the only woman on the planet who could make that dress work. A couple of men could, but only with the aid of some duct tape and padding.

Julianne Hough in Swarovski

Unless she's a queen of Wonderland, we'd have to say this look is a bit much.

Katrina Bowden in Oscar de la Renta

Cute.

Laila Ali in A Pea in the Pod

That's an okay dress, but it's a FABULOUS color on her.

Linda Gray in Pamella Rolland

SUE ELLEN EWING! As we leave and breathe. Haven't we all missed that sloppy, privileged drunk with the most expressive brow in Texas? Why did you go away, Sue Ellen?

Natasha Bedingfield in Nicole Miller
