The premiere of ‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,’ which really should just be called ‘Mo’ Mummy,’ took place Sunday at Universal City beneath an angry, hateful sun. Unfortunately, squinting and see-through debacles ensued for some.

Winner: Maria Bello claims victor because she smartly opted for a tousled updo that couldn’t wilt in the heat and a chic toga dress that grazed just above the knee. The actress, who’s been known to wear stripper shoes with Chanel and dates a guy who is 28 to her 40, always opts for an interesting cut or color. Here, she’s as fresh and appealing as a Handi Wipe at a barbecue.

Loser: Jo Champa, an L.A. socialite, actress and contributor for Italian Vogue. (Physically, she looks like a head-on collision of Teri Hatcher and Brittany Murphy.) This is the second time that Champa has opted for transparency on a Sunday afternoon -- last time it was at ‘Meet Dave’ -- and we get it, lady: The produce is ripe.
