Red Carpet Fashion Awards -

Menswear Roundup

An eclectic mix of men took to the red carpet today and over the weekend, where their looks ranged from regal to, well, a bit more wild. The unifying factor? All the guys worked some degree of facial scruff.

James McAvoy: To accept his ‘Best Actor’ Award at the 2013 British Independent Film Awards on Sunday in London, James wore a brown plaid Burberry suit, complemented by a baby-blue button-down shirt and brown silk tie. The tailoring could have been better, as the pants fell a bit long.

Adam Lambert: Always the sartorial show-off, the singer put his own flair on Sunday’s 15th annual Trevor Project Benefit, honouring Jane Lynch, in Hollywood, California. There was no missing his mulberry suit, swirled in an artsy, leafy abstracted pattern, which he paired with a charcoal-grey shirt. The heavy black loafers were a clunky contrast.

Christian Bale: Joining Bradley Cooper at the ‘American Hustle’ New York screening on Sunday, the actor walked on the dark side. He took a monochromatic, all-black approach in a Gucci notch-lapel, two button Brera suit, paired with a black dress shirt and black leather lace-up shoes.

Elisabeth Rohm In Randi Rahm – ‘American Hustle’ New York Screening

Elisabeth Rohm joined Bradley Cooper at the ‘American Hustle’ New York screening, held at the Ziegfeld Theatre on Sunday evening.

The actress turned on the old-Hollywood sophistication in a deep green, jewel-toned Randi Rahm boat-neck gown with a small train.

Although I wasn’t thrilled with the more undefined fit from the front, the silhouette improved when she turned to the side and revealed the draped, backless detail.

A crystallized clutch and three-tiered, sparkling statement earrings added dazzle to the dress, while a ruby-red lip, black-rimmed bedroom eyes and side-swept blonde waves contributed a vintage-glam appeal.

Zawe Ashton In Sarah Baadarani – British Independent Film Awards 2013

Zawe Ashton was also among the guest list at the British Independent Film Awards 2013, hosted at Old Billingsgate Market in London on Sunday night.

The British star covered up in a long-sleeve Sarah Baadarani crew-neck column gown in a soft, dove-grey shade.

There was hardly the hint of an accessory or jewel to be found here, which mirrored the simple style of the dress. Zawe also kept her swept-back hair and bronzed makeup on the casual side.

With such a minimalistic approach, the details must be spot-on. So, the slight wrinkles permeating the gown were more noticeable than I’d like. I was also wishing for some sort of statement sparkle to define the look.

Lovely or just too lacklustre?

Jennifer Lawrence In Marc by Marc Jacobs – ‘American Hustle’ New York Press Conference

Jennifer Lawrence attended the ‘American Hustle’ New York press conference in a room with quite the view at the Mondrian Soho on Saturday.

The actress, who was not donning Dior, revisited the cropped trend with her structured, white top and high-waisted, slouchy black pants by Marc by Marc Jacobs, which she paired with geometric, black-and-white pumps and a simple, one-strand necklace.

Despite its more mannish overtones, there was a sense of restrained sexiness permeating this edgy yet effortless entrance, which was only enhanced by her piece-y ’do, kohl-shadowed eyes and that pretty pink lip.

With New York City acting as a perfect backdrop behind her, I couldn’t help but find this look rather cool and compelling.

Did Jennifer win you over this time?

Katy Perry In Blumarine – Unicef Event

Katy Perry was recently appointed UNICEF’s newest Goodwill Ambassador during a special event at UNICEF Headquarters in New York, where she will focus on engaging young people in the agency’s work to improve the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children and adolescents.

The pop star wore a tulle dress with macramé lace details from the Blumarine Spring 2014 collection. While curve-hugging and slightly sheer in places, the design still translated as quietly sophisticated and appropriate.

Although it was more subdued, the abstracted butterfly pattern on the dress added a moment of more whimsical quirk to which we are accustomed when it comes to Katy.

Nude Christian Louboutin pumps and a minimal makeup approach completed her look. With all the neutral tones, were you left craving some colour from the punch of a bold shoe or the pop of a bright lip?
