Leighton Meester's (center) recent lace jumper raised plenty debate. Was it a fashion do or don't? Was it forward thinking or backwards reasoning? I took to the pages of Google images to check if the Gossip Girl costars, Blake Lively (far left) and Taylor Momsen (far right).

The findings? Outfits that would call for questions about where the rest of the dress is and a dowdy getup on a teen who as of late, would rather show more skin than fabric.

The bad cannot outweigh the good, though. Celebrities have the Catch 22 of being in the public eye and not being allowed mistakes, whether personal or just fashion related. With that said, when we take them to court, we must have damning and redeeming evidence.

Here are how the stars wore lace with more success:

It girl Blake Lively experimented with fashion again on the runway for Spike's TV Scream Awards. She chose a gray two tone dress with a camel leather embellishment running down the middle.

The dress looks like there are three pieces to it, and they were added together in haste. Blake still pulls it off though, when she stands still. All of the photos of her from the event seem to show her fidgeting (or did she pose like this on purpose?) with the skirt of the dress to show off her gams, when they look just as fabulous peeking out of the skirt on their own.

She matched her heels to the neutral accent on the dress and kept the accessories to a minimum; a smart move for an ensemble that already has a lot to say.

The verdict in the courtroom is questionably innocent, but with some sort of parole. I need to see a toned down mini or classic Grecian drapery at the next event to make it up.

What do you guys think?
