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.

You can buy Marion’s Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Poppy Stripe ‘Wyatt’ Dress from Avenue32.

Rebecca Ferguson In Mary Katrantzou – Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards

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

The British singer wore a Mary Katrantzou Resort 2014 ‘Trinkolo’ dress which is a striking piece, showcasing the label at its very best; however, and I’m sad to say as Mary is one of my favourite designers, I don’t like what Rebecca has done to this look.

Her sleeveless printed party dress featuring a high round neck, a rose-and-trellis patterned bodice and a voluminous circle skirt in a contrasting pattern, which I had pictured on Poppy Delevingne or Rihanna as a performance piece, is let down by those open-toe embellished black booties which belong nowhere near this frock.

The only positive I can muster is the lip colour; just about everything else about the look is off, including – and especially – the skirt, which I will assume has a tutu underlay.

You can buy Rebecca’s Mary Katrantzou Print Full Skirt Dress from Nordstrom.com.

Noomi Rapace In Elie Saab – ‘Waltz for Monica’ Marrakech Film Festival Premiere

Noomi Rapace attended the ‘Waltz for Monica’ premiere during the 13th Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco on Wednesday evening.

The now-blonde actress wore an Elie Saab Fall 2013 black boat-neck silk-georgette gown, accented with a gold belt, which featured a dramatic drape cascading into a train.

Adding yet more bling to her look via a selection of gold jewels, Noomi’s flawless take on modern glamour was completed with a bold red lip colour.
