Amazing looks, confusing dresses

They all look fabulous, they are some of the best dressed of the night, but I dont choose them as my favorites, why?

Katy Perry - Elie saab dress
She looks absolutely beautiful in every way. But, I dont like so much the dress, the back is amazing and the work on it, but I think Meryl Streep would be amazing in that dress, you know?

Jessie J - Julien Macdonald dress
The same! perfect hair and make up, the dress fits her so well! But, despite the beautiful shape, Im not sure about all that beads..

Fergie - Jean Paul Gaultier H.Couture dress, Walter Steiger shoes.
Love the shape and color, but I dont like the fabric and how her underwear looks.

Taylor Swift - Zuhair Murad dress
Dont like the dress at all, but she looks good.

Ok

No mistakes, they are beautiful, but not amazing.
