The 41-year-old wowed in a plunging print halter-neck gown with black satin trim and cut-out detailing at the waist. She's a sister who knows how to strike a pose too.

If we're talking who out-dressed who, Kate definitely outdid fellow A-listers Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera and the very dapper Benedict Cumberbatch.

Cameron did that classic, understated thing and wore a silk black tunic top and pencil skirt paired with black strap stilettos. She completed her look with a killer red lipstick and those signature glossy tresses.

Christina (who made her first red carpet appearance since welcoming her baby daughter, Summer) went all out in a red long-sleeved, floor-length dress and Christian Louboutin heels.

Post-baby, the 33-year-old singer looked pretty hot arriving with fiancé Matthew Rutler, but Kate just had that elegant edge.
