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
Roaring Twenties: Fearne Cotton wore a vintage fringed dress with red heels that matched her lipsPink ladies: Michelle Keegan and Michelle Collins also chose the evening's most popular colourBack to black: Heidi Range

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
Seductive: Lea's one-shoulder dress featured a daring slit up to the thighGoing against the grain: Kaley Cuoco stepped out in a silk organza gown by Romona Keveza while Natalie Portman decided not to walk the red carpet Black and white: The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies donned glittering white Paz Vega opted for monochrome while Jayma Mays dressed in black covered in sequins

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
Birds of a feather: Tulisa stood out in a hot pink feathered numberEssex spin on black tie: Chloe Sims brought her personal brand of formal wear to the NTAs in a red 'mullet' dress that featured a short hemline at the front and full-length skirt at the back and sidesEssex glamour: Jessica Wright went for a Kate Middleton meets TOWIE dress in a full length backless lace gown, while Lauren Goodger wore a tight silver gown with a plunging neckline

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
Feeling moody: Glee stars Heather Morris, Amber Riley, who went for bows and lace in Badgley Mischka, Ashley Fink and Lauren Potter all opted for the dark colour Looking all white: Zoe SaldanaFeeling moody: Glee stars Heather Morris, Amber Riley, who went for bows and lace in Badgley Mischka, Ashley Fink and Lauren Potter all opted for the dark colour


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?
