The Brits The Good, The Bad and The Awful

Last night was The Brit Awards, another glamourous night full with a red carpet fashion parade for us all to judge. I didn't watch the awards myself, but according to the press this morning it was quite an eventful night. Unfortunately, in my eyes, it wasn't an eventful night for fashion, looking through many pictures I have to say I was mainly unimpressed, very few dresses really stood out for me. Anyways onto my take on who rocked their dress last night, and who didn't.

The Good

I know I slated fergie for
showing too much flesh, but
I think Jessie is my top girl
for the night. This dress is
revealing, but glamourous, she
looks totally amazing! 

Holly rarely goes wrong in my opinion,
she is very lady like, classy, but always
sexy. Her whole ensemble is perfect, very
simple, but very effective.

Lana del Ray looks gorgeous.
Again a very simple dress, but
the cut is super flattering,
giving her curves in all
the right places.

The Bad

I know Adele was my favourite best dressed
at the Grammys in a very similar dress, but
this is why she is now on the worst dressed.
She looks good, but far to similar to
what she wore at the Grammys. At first I
thought this picture was from the Grammys.
The girl needs to mix it up more

Emma Bunton looks awkward
in this ensemble. I know she
looks young, but she's not in
her twenties anymore, this dress
is too young for her. I would
of liked a bit more glamour from
her. 

Rihanna just has too much
going on in this ensemble-
sparkly dress, sparkly
shoes, long leather gloves,
boobs and legs out. If she
had worn the dress, with a
simple shoe and minus the
gloves, then she would of
looked better. 

The Awful

Can someone please get Cher a new
stylist. She never looks good in my
opinion. I know she is trying to look
different and edgy, but here she looks
like a cross between a Quality
Street sweet and a Christmas cracker. I'm
sure that's not the look she was aiming for.

A very critical take on the outfits of the night, I know, but as I said earlier I was very underwhelmed. 

My favourite star for the night has to be Jessie J, who was you best dressed?

Grammy Awards vs Bafta Awards- US vs UK- The Good, Bad and Awful

Two award shows in one night, weren't we spoilt! Two great shows, and two great red carpet fashion parades. I am going to share with you my good, bad and ugly for each of the awards. Personally after looking through hundreds of pictures of both award shows I think the fashion in both has been outstanding. The dresses at the Baftas were beautiful, I actually struggled to find dresses I didn't like. 

The Good- Bafta Awards

Penelope Cruz Looked stunning in this simple dress. 

Michelle Williams really stood out for me, the dress is  simple but the monochrome colours give  it an edge. I love the Book clutch bag also.

Melissa George- This Victoria Beckham dress is right on trend at the moment, a lot of sparkly dresses have been worn on the Red Carpet this season. I love the pop of colour with her lipstick, a really sexy look.

The Good- Grammy Awards

Adele had to be mentioned. This girl is all over the headlines today. She looks amazing in this dress, her recent weight-loss and her change hair style have transformed her into a classic sex siren. She looks Sexy, classy and beautiful

Finally Kelly Osbourne is not on the worst dressed list. She has finally chosen a dress that is fun, young and flirty, much more age appropriate. 

Carrie Underwood is a show topper in this gorgeous backless gown. Again a sparkly number. The monochrome, because of the black clutch really make this outfit stand out. 

The Bad- Bafta Awards

I don't like the length of Hayley Atwell's dress, its not three quarter length and nor is it full length, its in-between. 

I don't know what to say about this apart from its a bit of a mess. Octavia Spencer even looks miserable about wearing it.

Christina Ricci looks like she is wearing a tinfoil dress, it looks cheap to me.

The Bad- Grammy Awards

Oh dear! Yes Fergie you have a lovely figure, but we don't need to see it right now, not appropriate at all.

Aww poor Jessie, she made a real effort to dress up and then she looks like she is wrapped in tinfoil also. This dress does not flatter her, she looks way bigger than what she is. 

Sasha Gradiva- What is this! just why? Why the gun? Otherwise it would be a pretty dress.

The Awful- Bafta Awards

I can see what Edith Boweman was trying to do, the vintage dress, paired with the gloves (similar to Sarah Jessica Parker) However I don't think she's pulled it off, and looks quite frumpy.

The Awful- Grammy Awards

Nicki Minaj- Oh Dear! She is like Lady Gaga, as in they are both not able to just wear a dress, they have to wear a costume and make a statement. In my opinion, yes they attract column inches, but please keep costumes for the stage, not formal events.

Who was your best dressed of the night? Anyone a step above anyone else? Who was your least favourite?

The UK vs The States (NTA vs SAG awards)The Good, Bad and Awful

So last week and this weekend we had two award shows, one in the UK and one in the US. The UK awards in my honest opinion are never as glamourous as American awards... more reality TV stars than movie stars!
So I am going to present to you my round up of the 3 best and 3 worst dressed at both award shows, the SAG awards and the NTA's;

The Good- UK- NTA

Fearne Cotton- Different from others, opting for a shorter style dress, however the embellishment and classic hair and makeup make this dress formal enough for the event. 

Heidi Range- A very simple dress, but she wears it very well, she just screams sexy.

Michelle Keegan- A pretty obvious choice, however she always looks glamourous and amazing at red carpet events. Overall a very simple dress, accessories, hair and makeup but the embellishment make it a standout piece. I love it!  

The Good-US-SAG Awards

Lea Michelle- Wow she is impressing me at the moment. Showing her sexy side in this gorgeous dress.

Natalie Portman- A simple dress, but perfection! She looks lovely.

Jayma Mays (from glee)- Such a show stopping dress, I love the embellishment... looks like this tend is very popular at the moment. 

The Bad- UK- NTA

Chloe Sims- I'm normally a fan of mullet style dresses, but Chloe looks like she attatched the train of this dress herself, it looks poorly made and cheap.

Lauren Goodger- I am a fan of Lauren, however she does not dress well for her curvy frame. This dress does not flatter her in the slightest.

Tulisa- Definitely a talking point and a fun dress, however I think it is more suitable to a sixteenth birthday party, not a red carpet event.

The Bad- US-SAG Awards

Heather Morris- Trying to sport the mullet style dress, however I don't believe she has managed to pull it off. This dress has too much going on at the same time. 

Zoe Saldana- I am not keen on this dress at all. I know it's vintage, however to me it looks like she is wearing a white tank top underneath the top part of the dress. 

Amber Riley- She looks like a present waiting to be unwrapped because of the gigantic bow... not a good look. 

And the Awful

Karen Gillian- She looks like she is waiting for a bus into town. This outfit  is not appropriate for a red carpet at all. I wish people would stick to dress codes. It would of been lovely to see her glammed up for a change.

What do you think about British award season fashion versus the states? Who were you favourtie dressed stars for the night?

Who hit gold, who didn't- Award season, the Golden Globes

Oh I love this time of the year..I get really excited about award season. I have always said that if I was to have a job on television it would be to present E! at the Red Carpet, I just love looking at what everyone is wearing, who rocks, and who shocks!

So this year there was a standout colour and that was white, everyone was sporting white dress, and bridal inspired gowns. here is my personal opinion on the best and the worst of the night.

The Good

Jessica Alba in Gucci
A beautiful, elegant dress. A simple cut and colour but the embellishment makes it perfect.

Lea Michele in Marchesa
A true Red carpect dress. Perfect for her figure and a real stand out

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace
Again a simple colour and cut, yet the added red colour with the matching clutch an lipstick, makes this look stand out.

Emma Stone in LanvinA fun dress, great colour on Emma's complexion

The Bad

Bridesmaid star Wendi Mclendon-Covey
The dress seems to have no shape and looks like a bag, and is just hanging off the actress.  Not a flattering look.

Madonna in Reem Acra
I beleive the top and bottom sections of this dress are nice, but they do not work together. The cut of the dress does not flatter Madonna's muscular frame, and it looks too tight on her chest.

Zooey Deschanel in Prada
I just dislike the lime green on this dress, I don't think this dress is Red Carpet enough.

Kelly Osbourne in Zac PosenKelly looks like the dress in wearing her, her petite frame is swamped. For such a younger star I believe she should be showing more flesh in a more fun dress.

And the Ugly (Awful)

Model Erin Wasson
Just plain awful! She looks like a stripper!


Who's dress do you like the best? Any other stars who stood out for you?

X factor Final- Who wins the fashion war

I am currently writing this post as I watch the X factor final. As always the female judges have been pitted against each other in a style war. This year has been different due to the arrival of the two new judges Kelly and Tulisa as they both have styles that are different to each other, but also to the previous judges (Danni and Cheryl)

So lets see how the judges faired each week, and who wins the style war in my eyes

Week 1- Kelly Wins

Saturdays outfits- I do not like the print on Kelly's dress, but love the cut, and I love Tulisa'a dress, however the whole ensemble is a bit bland, it could of done with a pop of colour from shoes or accessories.

Sundays outfits- I adore Kelly's dress, Tulisa's is a nice design, but it looks a bit cheap.

Week 2- Kelly Wins

Saturdays outfits-  I'm not very keen on either dress, Tulisa looks a bit messy, and Kelly's is a nice dress, but a bit to tame and demure for Saturday night tv.

Sunday's outfits- Wow! Both are very booby! Both a gorgeous dresses in their own right. Tulisa's is fun, and very much suits her, and Kelly's is very glamorous. I'm going to base my decision on what I would wear personally, so Kelly wins.

Week 3- Tulisa Wins

Saturday's outfits- Kelly looks like a dominatrix, and Tulisa does also, but a little less so. Kelly is wearing too many accessories for my liking.

Sunday's outfits- I love both dresses, even is Tulisa's make her look like giant Quality Street chocolate, but it is very on trend with the sequins and jewel colours, and I love the colour blocking with her shoes.

Week 4- Tulisa Wins

Dear oh dear, not a good week. Alexandra Burke stepped in for Kelly for the week, and did not impress.

Saturday's outfits- Tulisa was clearly dressing up for Halloween, a shocking outfit, not X factor worthy. Alexandra's dress is OK, but not flattering for her figure at all, the whole outfit makes her look short and barrel like.

Sunday's outfits- again I'm not keen on either. But I love the cut of Tulisa's very flattering and ladylike for her.

Week 5- Kelly Wins

Saturday's outfits- Tulisa's headband is awful, it looks like the one's I used to wear when I was 6. She looks uncomfortable in her dress, maybe a little too short for her. Kelly's dress is gorgeous, but looks a bit bridesmaidy for Saturday night TV.

Sunday's outfits- Tulisa's dress is very pretty, I dislike the shoes though. Kelly's dress is gorgeous, very similar to the dress from Saturday in terms of cut and fabric, but it is a little sexier.

Week 6- Kelly Wins

Saturdays outfits- I love Tulisa''s dress, she actually looks more high fashion than high street which she looks many nights. Good on Kelly for mixing it up with the suit.

Sundays outfits- Tulisa looks like she is wrapped in tinfoil, oh dear. Kelly's dress is simplistic but yet detailed, I am in love with it.

Week 7- Tulisa Wins

Saturday's- Tulisa's dress is nice, a bit safe I think, but it works for her. Kelly's dress is very summery, and sexy. I love the detail on the top of the dress, and mixing the beading there with the glittery shoes.

Sunday's- Kelly looks like a Quality Dress chocolate. It does not look good in anyway. Tulisa's dress is beautiful, again jewel tones are very in at the moment.

Week 8- Kelly Wins

Saturdays outfit-  Tulisa is obviously in fancy dress as a bumble bee, the dress is also very frumpy. Kelly's dress does not impress me much, it looks a little cheap, but the colour blocking is good.

Sunday's outfit- Tulisa's outfit looks cheap, and it was revealed by a sharp eyed viewer that when she had her back turned to the camera her dress was see-through, not good! Kelly's dress is simple yet stunning and I love the added colour from the shoes.

Week 9- Kelly Wins

Saturdays outfit- I love Tulisa's dress, its very different to others she had worn. Kelly's is cute, but I'm not mad about it, the whole ensemble is a bit bland.

Sunday's outfits- Tulisa's dress is cute, but I'm not loving the bracelets she is wearing. Kelly's dress is everything I love about the glitter trend going on at the moment.

Overall, Kelly wins, but I'm pretty disappointed with the fashion this year. At no moment, did my jaw drop when they entered the stage. My heart has not fallen for a single outfit.

In my honest opinion, these two have nothing on Danni and Cheryl. I much prefer their style to Kelly and Tulisa (and I don''t even particularly like Cheryl)

What do you guys think? Do you have a favourite outfit? Or am I totally wrong in my choices?
