Swank subtly lets her long, lean frame be the star of the red-carpet show, choosing sleek, monochrome dresses and gowns with an absolute minimum of awards-show borrowed bling.
Lest you think this strategy is too risk-averse to keep the spotlight trained on her, may we remind you of a certain backless, midnight blue Guy Laroche gown from 2005’s Academy Awards ceremony? Going totally against the style grain (which, that year, was all strapless, all the time), Swank delivered a K.O. to the look-alikes and walked away a winner twice over, with both the Academy and the fashion press equally smitten.
