Fashion wrap: What's up with Salma?

In this week's fashion wrap the curvalicious babes were out in force.�Scarlett Johansson was ravishing in red, simply Salma Hayek hit the red carpet looking frumpish and haggard.

The actress has gone on the record many times as expression how proud she is of her assets. So why did she proceed to try to swathe them in metres of fabric at the premier of Woody Allen's novel film?

The baby blue colouring material washes out her wild olive skin color and the draping around the bust makes her look preposterously top heavy - unless she was auditioning for a part in Busty Babes 2.

The star of director Woody Allen's modern film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Scarlett Johansson, also chose a wrapped number�in redness chiffon.

The semblance was fabulous on her, but the overly dangly necklace looked wrong with the dress.

British singer Leona Lewis embraced the tie-dye vogue, wearing a navy floor length dress to the MTV Asia Awards in Malaysia.

It's a trend you can embrace at home. Just jerk some bleach onto your best frock, et voila, an instant update!

At the premiere of the photographic film Pineapple Express in Los Angeles, Elizabeth Banks and Amanda Peet both looked like they'd just stepped off the runway.

Banks chose a way-out blue pinstriped mini-dress accessorised with tough-chic shoots spell Peet looked casual in jeans, scarf and sport coat, worn with another of this seasons hot trends:�stacked heel gladiator sandals.
