Our panelists on the latest and greatest celebrity looks

Kate Hudson in Elie Saab at the Djokovic Foundation gala last night

Kate has always loved this costume ever since it featured in the first Lord of the Rings film (check out the Black Riders scene about 90 minutes in). Sadly, during transit from New Zealand, the front portion of the dress was completely ripped off. For years Kate wasn't aware of the gaping hole and assumed – as was the case with most of her other clothes – that it was in fact 100 per cent intact. However, speaking to Kate after the Wimbledon men's final she was both 'surprised', 'enlightened' and 'annoyed' by the revelation but said that 'it did explain her constantly freezing knees'.

I'm so glad the stepped hem was renamed from the 'mullet hem', it's taken the style from being distinctly unpalatable to practically the coolest thing ever. Except it hasn't, really, has it? I feel like an asymmetrical hemline is precisely the thing I'd see five of billowing past me on my lunch-hour these days. That said, a stepped hem can look truly glamorous in the right context – and that's exactly where Kate Hudson is. There's something very elegant and willowy about that draped back. Something that looks a bit Village Idiot when you aren't at a swanky do, that is.

Zoe Rocha, producer and writer
I so desperately wanted to love this look. A chocolate brown Elie Saab dress confidently worn during a season where everyone seems to be rocking pastels and whites, what's not to love? Even though the shimmering detailing is stunning and her Christian Louboutin 'Mina' clutch edged it up to just the right level befitting someone who as well as being a Hollywood goddess is also a rockstar's fiancé. But it was just a little too business at the front, party at the back for me. That said if I'm sure if we all had endless, tanned, toned pins that looked like Ms.Hudson's and not like pasty little sausages that have been hidden under opaques for far too long then we would be pulling out the pinking shears and hacking away at the front of our maxi dresses to join the high/low party with gusto.
