Did you feel that? It was a breath of fresh air in the form of Bethenny Frankel. Simple makeup and sleek updo paired with a modern take on the classic white shirt add up to a knockout look. Paired with shorts, this look is sharp and casual all at once. Croquet, anyone?

Kelly Killoren Bensimon -- Worst
Young lady, if you think you're leaving the house looking like that, you've got another thing coming! I don't care if it IS prom. But seriously, too much information in the decollete zone. Sloppy hair and sloppy little buttons on the dress can't be saved by a prim pearl necklace.
