We were treated with several gorgeous looks this week, such as Katy Perry’s musical notes dress at the Grammys. And although we love all those glamorous ensembles, there are also a few interesting dresses that didn’t quite make it to the best-dressed list but still caught our eye.

We rounded up some of these frocks, but we’re still on the fence whether they are hot or not. What do you, guys, think?

Michelle Dockery in Prada Shift Dress

We just can’t help but love fashion risk-takers! Michelle Dockery opted for a little quirk in her olive green Prada shift dress.

With a face printed on its hem and a rainbow of color details, this is definitely a standout frock, and the ‘Downton Abbey’ star effortlessly rocked the look.

Miroslava Duma in Valentino

The fresh-faced fashionista Miroslava Duma is never shy about wearing bold looks, and her Paris Fashion Week look at the Valentino show was definitely eye-catching. Her ensemble is from Valentino’s Fall 2013 collection.

With a rich burgundy color and gorgeous hand-stitch detailing, this fall dress is very season-appropriate.

Lupita Nyong’o in Vintage Valentina Dress

Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o has been killing it on the red carpet lately. The Oscar nominee wore a gorgeous vintage Valentina dress that features a lovely beadwork and fabulous floral detailing.

She accessorized the floral frock with a cute headband and a pale gold Amanda Pearl micro-sparkle Octo Bardot clutch, adding more femininity to the ensemble. The outfit was completed by a pair of Paul Andrew Zenadia pumps.

Paris Hilton in Sher Dress

In true Paris Hilton fashion, the hotel heiress stood out on the red carpet of P. Diddy’s pre-Grammy party by wearing a revealing sheer dress.

Although the frock has a high neckline and a floor-length hem, its sheer panels are strategically placed to showcase bits of Paris — arms, belly, and a lot of the loin area. Obviously, this fares quite low in the glam factor, but the sheer dress definitely still stood out!
