Last night, amfAR held a gala in L.A., which meant that some movie stars came because, really, they had no excuse not to. And even though Sarah Jessica Parker lives in New York, she came too, wearing what first seemed like a fun strapless jumpsuit but then revealed itself to be just a black tank top and pants. Since it’s L.A. and people can’t figure out if they should go all-out glamorous on the red carpet (Kate Hudson) or be relaxed and casual (Chelsea Handler), there was a wide range of styles. Click through our slideshow for our analysis of each look.

Sarah Jessica Parker At first we thought this was a strapless jumpsuit, and then it turned out to be a very skinny-strap tank and pants, which is disappointing. The tassel necklaces is a nice touch, though, like she's wearing a fancy window ornament. Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/2012 Getty Images

Alessandra Ambrosio It feels important to note that Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth in May, since she looks exactly the same as she did a year ago, and when she walked in the Victoria's Secret show pregnant. We'll surely get to hear all about her special diet in some Victoria's Secret promo soon enough. Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/2012 Getty Images
