Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards Red Carpet Roundup

Here is a roundup of the rest of the attendees at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London yesterday evening.

Ellie Goulding: The singer sported a barely there makeup look, wearing a dual-colour ivory-and-white Dolce & Gabbana strapless frock with a corseted bodice and velvet skirt accented with a satin waistband. Does her makeup wash her out?

Paloma Faith: The one person we can usually rely on for a bit of colour and plenty of drama opted for a very demure look by her standards, wearing a black velvet Stella McCartney long-sleeved frock with embroidered sleeves, which she styled with all-black accessories.

Mollie King: There’s something about Mollie that hasn’t quite been working for me of late. The best-dressed member of The Saturdays kept it super simple, wearing a black shift dress with black pumps that reads boring to me. A statement necklace would’ve made a world of difference, as that Silvia Furmanovich cuff and cocktail ring aren’t enough to pique my interest.

Noomi Rapace In Elie Saab Couture – ‘Fernando Solanas’ Marrakech Film Festival Tribute

Noomi Rapace made her second appearance on the red carpet during the 13th Marrakech International Film Festival for the ‘Fernando Solanas’ Tribute in Morocco yesterday evening.

The Swedish actress also wore her second Elie Saab gown, selecting a rich-red caped gown with an embellished bodice from the Spring 2013 Couture collection.

This look really commands your attention in a way the first one didn’t. This is more like the Noomi I know and love: bold and fearless.

Opting for a nude lip on this occasion, she completed her look with a side-parted bun.

Does this presentation live up to your expectations?

Nicole Sherzinger In Amanda Wakeley – Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards

Nicole Sherzinger joined Nicola Roberts and Rebecca Ferguson on the red carpet on Thursday evening for the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

The singer and ‘X Factor’ judge wore a navy Amanda Wakeley strapless-top-and-pant combo, which continues the more sophisticated route she has been taking when it comes to red carpet dressing with Amanda as her go-to designer, leaving the Julien MacDonald cat-suits (hopefully) in her rear-view window.

I find the top has been overworked with the satin detailing; I wish the tailoring had been allowed to speak for itself.

So while I like the direction, I don’t like the execution.

A glossy orange lip colour, a messy swept up ‘do and gold choker completed her look.

Emmy Rossum In Oscar de la Renta – ‘August: Osage County’ LA Screening

Emmy Rossum attended the ‘August: Osage County’ benefit screening held at the Landmark Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Thursday evening.

Wrapping her brunette locks into a chic topknot, the ‘Shameless’ actress wore a pretty dress from one of her favourite designers, Oscar de la Renta, selecting a navy silk-faille dress with ivory organza, caviar beads, and threadwork embroidery, in the designer’s favoured fit-and-flare silhouette from the Resort 2014 collection.

With a pop of colour courtesy of her glossy red lip shade, she kept the rest of her look neutral, opting for a diamante-encrusted cream clutch, silver jewels and white Rupert Sanderson ‘Elba’ pumps.

It does pain me to admit that the white pumps, despite my disdain for them, do complement the look. This showing proves that the trend, as much as we might have hoped otherwise, isn’t going to be dying down any time soon.

Nicola Roberts In Halston Heritage – Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards

Nicola Roberts attended the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London on Thursday evening.

As you know, I have a bit of a style crush on Nicola, but I’m not biased when I say she was the best dressed at this event, looking resplendent wearing a ballet-pink Halston Heritage gown.

Her scoop-necked gown features panelled seams that follow the curves of her body for a flattering silhouette before flaring at the skirt.

I love the minimalist styling, which included gold stud earrings, a pretty pink lip colour and soft waves, which ensured that nothing detracted from the elegance of this gown.

Needless to say, I will be adding this look to the BDOTW poll at the end of the day.

Marion Cotillard In Preen – ‘Public Enemies’ Marrakech Film Festival Presentation

Marion Cotillard attended the ‘Public Enemies’ presentation during the 13th Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco on Thursday evening.

Surprisingly, and much to your delight no doubt, she wasn’t wearing Dior.

On this rare occasion she wore a Preen Resort 2013 ‘Wyatt’ floral-print and paint-box-striped maxi dress with a solid black back, which feels a bit low key for any event during a film festival, especially one which has seen her wearing couture to a photocall.

Had I not seen Marion wearing form-fitting dresses on Saturday and Sunday, I would’ve been tempted to say ‘baby on board’, so I can only surmise that perhaps she’s trying to play it low key during this festival or is just having several off days, as nothing she has been wearing of late has wowed me.

Let’s hope she’s saving something for the closing ceremony.
