Joint Best Dressed/Golden Girl Award
Now this is how you bring glamour to the red carpet.
Jennifer Morrison did not disappoint, as she took to the red carpet last night wearing a gold and silver metallic cocktail dress from the Gianfranco Ferre Spring 2008 collection, which was open at the back.
She complimented her dress with satin pewter Christian Louboutin slingbacks.
Joint Best Dressed/Lady In Red Award
Marisa Tomei’s red strapless Donna Karan dress is simply breath-taking and her gold accessories compliment her dress perfectly.
I particularly love the gathering detail on the skirt, and asymmetrical hem.
Best Asymmetrical Award
Like her mum Kate Hudson is so full of energy and life, so she picked this stand-out teal Gucci Spring 2009 asymmetrical gown, with a palm tree print to match her vibrant personality.
The actress completed her look with matching two-toned Giuseppe Zanotti platforms, and Jack Vartanian black and white rings.
Best Gown Award
There is always something so calm and serene about Olivia Wilde. I would imagine she took 5 minutes to get ready for this awards do, because she looks so effortlessly beautiful wearing this white halter BCBG Max Azria gown, which she compliments with gold accessories.
She completed her look with a matching white Jimmy Choo clutch.
Best LBD Award
Teri Hatcher is not the most consistent on the red carpet, but the Desperate Housewives star looked very sexy in her black satin Givenchy Haute Couture vintage dress from Decades Inc.
I love the bows on each hip. Her pointy pumps help elongate her already very long legs.
Surprisingly fabulous.
Best Dressed Teen Award
Much improved on yesterday’s dress, Dakota Fanning is simply gorgeous in this electric blue one-shouldered BCBG mini dress. Grown up, yet still age appropriate.
Best Couture Award
Queen Latifah wore a striking purple Georges Chakra couture gown.
The hosts flowing chiffon halter gown had a jeweled neckline, with some jewels cascading down the front of her gown, which only made her sparkle more.
Best Dressed Curves Award
Queen Latifah wore a custom emerald green one-shoulder Gustavo Cadile gown, when she collected an award for Favorite Independent Movie for Secret Life of Bees.
The curvacious star’s gown was detailed with embellishments on her shoulder.
Best Non Actress Award
Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris wore a white one-shouldered David Meister dress, with a silver beaded shoulder.
She complimented her white hot dress with silver strappy sandals.
Best Black Award
Christina Applegate wore a black chiffon Jenny Packham gown, when she collected her award for Favorite Female TV Star.
The embellishments stop this from becoming a boring black dress.
Best Herve Leger Award
Yes I know you are all tired of Herve Leger on the red carpet, but this was one of the best from the Fall 2008 collection. Jessica Stroup looked gorgeous when she took to the red carpet last night. Not so crazy about her shoe choice though.
Finally Those Red Streaks Have Gone Award
Jordin Sparks finally ditched those red streaks which she wore to every red carpet event last year. I’m glad it was just a 2008 fad.
The singer arrived wearing a vibrant silk blue pleated Jessica McClintock, with a rosette detail on the hip. She accessorized with gold sandals and a matching clutch.
Best TV Star Award
90210 actress Lori Laughlin wore a silver shimmering Gustavo Cadile dress, which she accessorized with a Swarovski clutch and jewels.
That’s Hot Award
This type of low-cut, full skirted Jenny Packham dress is perfect for Paris Hilton. The golden colour compliments her colouring, and I adore the floral appliqué and gold sequins which cover the dress.
She completed her look with large gold metallic pumps, and a cute Fendi bag.
Best Necklace/Best Mini Strapless Award
Malin Akerman wore a strapless colourblock dress by Jay Godfrey, which was a cute flirty choice.
She punched up her look with a large silver statement necklace and chunky bangles.
Best Floral Award
Carrie Underwood had the most changes of the night. She first wore a Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2009 gown on the red carpet.
This floral dress is really beautiful, as it also shimmers with the bead work and sequin embellishment. She completed her look with Cinta by John Hardy jewels, and a Mary Norton clutch.
Best Use Of Colour Award
Carrie wore a heavily embellished tangerine Jenny Packham Spring 2009 cocktail dress, when she accept her award for Favorite Female Singer.
Best Backstage Award
For her third and final dress, the Country singer wore a lime green empire-waist tiered gown.
It must have been an exhausting night for Miss Underwood with all those custom changes.
She completed her look with Cinta by John Hardy jewels.

Worst Dressed Award
I would wear this dress to work or to an interview, in fact I think I have a dress just like this. So I’m surprised Jennie Garth, with access to a lot of dresses, would pick this one.
OK she does not have the keys to Carolina Herrera’s closet like Renee Zellweger, but she can do better than this, even with her D list status.
Most Disappointing Award
Debra Messing is one of my faves, so imagine my deep disappointment to see her take to the red carpet last night in this extremely unflattering Donna Karan dress.
The steel grey colour is not so bad, but the fit is, and so is that thing on the front of her dress.
Why Debra? Why?
Most Unlikely To Add This Dress My Wish List Award
This has to be the most boring dress I have ever seen Reese Witherspoon wear.
So dull, so lifeless, so unlike Reese. I hope she’s saving better dresses for bigger occasions.
Most Uninspiring Award
Apart from the leopard print lining of her Dolce & Gabbana suit, I have no interest in what Katherine Heigl is wearing – although I do like the shoes.
For someone of her caliber, I would have expected more. Anne Hathaway looked so great in her suit this week, that this feels a bit copy-cat.
No Wow Factor Award
The colour was great, but I felt no wow factor from Chandra Wilson.
Worst Gown Award
There were a few gowns at this awards show last night, but Lisa Edelstein takes the prize for having the worst one.
Again it fails to flatter, and again I expected more.

08.01.09 PremiereWho Wore It Better?
In my Best Of 2008 posts, I gave Victoria Beckham the Best Sidewalk Style Award, because the sidewalk is her catwalk, and no one can out do her when it comes to shopping in 6″ heels and Balenciaga dresses to go shopping at The Grove.
This was evident when she breezed through Heathrow airport back in November.
Not one to wear tights and ruin an ensemble whilst it was raining in London -see why I love her- Victoria wore her taupe Stella McCartney Felt military coat, with a matching taupe Hermes bag, brown hat, and Christian Louboutin Arielle Ankle Boots.
Anna Hathaway was spotted in New York wearing the same coat in a creamy beige colour, when she made her way to The Early Show in New York on Monday.
Like Victoria, Anne wore her coat with celebrity shades, and unbuckled but tied at the waist.
As much as I am crushing on Anne at the moment, and as much as she looks fabulous giving Victoria a run for her money in her playground. I have to give this to VB.
The coat, the hat, the bag all compliment each other perfectly, plus she doesn’t have a stylist putting her together, so she deserves more credit.

She was wearing a celebrity shades, a grey tee, a grey leather jacket, loose fitting ripped jeans, and a vintage Hermes Constance belt from the early ’70s.
The chocolate leather belt features a bold, iconic “H” as the buckle.
Casual dressing has never looked so chic.

InStyle have put together a red carpet wish list for the Golden Globes, which takes place this Sunday.
I love these list, but I don’t always agree with all the picks.
The Good:
Mariska Hargitay – Their pick for a sequined multi-coloured Isaac Mizrahi would be perfect. The gold and burnt orange gives me that warm fuzzy feeling of a sun-setting.
Amy Adams – I love the low neckline of this Elie Saab dress, plus I think the pastel green would really make her glow.
Debra Messing – We have seen her in a lot of strapless dress, but not often in one-shouldered dresses, in fact just the once. This Versace dress would be a refreshing non-safe change for her.
Kyra Sedgwick – I love the colour of the Donna Karan nude embellished dress, it would look glorious against her sun-kissed skin and blonde hair. But I can almost guarantee that she will wear L’Wren Scott, as she often does for big occasions.
Angelina Jolie – NO BLACK, not a single hint of black do I want to see her wearing on the red carpet. Besides I don’t see her in anything from the Marchesa collection. I love what they do, but I think it might be too commercial for someone like Angelina.
America Ferrera – As above, NO BLACK. America is also someone who has relied on this colour heavily in the past. As much as I love Monique Lhilluer, I would have to say no to that as well, for exactly the same reason.
Christina Applegate – Although I love the Valentino dress InStyle picked, I have often wondered if it would make the wearer’s – not a stick thin model – seem wider than they really are, because of the draping on the hips. For this reason, I would not pick this dress for anyone.
Mary-Louise Parker – She has been there, done that with this electric blue colour, so I would say no on this occasion. Other than that it would have been perfect for her.
