Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: April 2009


Gustavo Cadile was the designer of the night, as he dressed many of the women at the 2009 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

The first was Rashel Diaz.

The TV personality wore a silver rose print gown from his Fall 2009 collection.

Her version had silver embellished details to highlight the straps and the empire waist.


Catherine Siachoque’s black strapless gown was from the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2009 Bridal collection.

You may remember that Shakira wore this same dress in green, earlier this year.


Mexican singer Gloria Trevi was the second star to wear a dress by Gustavo Cadile.

The bright yellow strapless gown really lit up the red carpet. The details included a intricate lace overlay on the bodice, with a cream satin sash which tied around the waist, into a bow at the back.


Maritza Rodriguez’ body looks outstanding wearing a Nicholas Felizola white asymmetrical gown. I love that fluttery detail on the shoulder.


Ximena Duque was the golden girl of the night wearing a Gustavo Cadile Fall 2009 gown.

Cream coloured tulle straps and trims give this gown a dynamic finish.


Paola Varela wore a two-tone nude Carlos Miele Spring 2009 one-shoulder gown, with a her hair pulled back.

You will recognise this gown, as Isla Fisher wore it to the 2009 Golden Globe Awards.


Monica Noguera also wore an outstanding gown by Gustavo Cadile. The designer outdid himself with this stunning one-shoulder white gown.

I love the detail on the bodice, which gets lost by the sunlight in the red carpet.

The Hermitage 20/21 Dinner, London

Oh Dasha Zhukova, Best Dressed Of The Week was going to be difficult enough without you arriving at this event looking spectacular.

The Russian beauty wore a two tone Lanvin Spring 2009 strapless bustier dress, with a gathered skirt, which Claire Danes wore to the 2009 Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Champagne heels complete the look.

Tribeca Film Festival Chanel Dinner

Silver harem pants, and a black turtle neck on some would look tragic.

On Diane Kruger? Magnificent.

I’m not even going to attempt this look, as she owns it.

Debra Messing on the other hand, doesn’t have my admiration. Instead I will give her my pity.

Nothing good is happening from the neck down.

Mary-Kate Olsen wore a loose, beaded tunic dress, which one would assume is vintage, but it’s actually from Nina Ricci’sFall 2009 collection.

LOVE the nude make-up, and the way she accessorized with a thick black and gold belt, to give the dress shape.

She added a pop of red via her Nancy Gonzalez clutch.

Kerry Washington opted for a classic tweed Chanel Spring 2009 boat neck dress, with a silver clutch and eggplant heels.

“Obsessed” Screening, New York

I love the detail of the origami folds on Ali Larter’s strapless cream satin Blumarine Fall 2009 dress, plus her Balenciaga strappy sandals, but the hair ruins everything.

Tous Boutique Opening, Barcelona

Kylie arrived at the Tous boutique opening in Barcelona, wearing in a floor-sweeping, black strapless Herve Leger dress with white stripes at the bust for a maritime-inspired look.

Kate Bosworth looked so gorgeous and fresh faced at this event.

As co-host she wore grey silk embellished tank, with a lemon floor length chiffon skirt from the Chloé Fall 2009 collection, all whilst showing off an embellished cream Chloé bag.

It’s just so easy for Kate.

Zoe Saldana is doing her best to state her claim as the ‘Girl of the Moment’.

She gives us hit after red carpet hit, and this Chloé Spring 2009 dress comes second in my admiration after her red Prabal Gurung dress last week.

This ethereal white shift, with a keyhole detail, just oozes sweet sophistication.

Definitely one to continue to watch.

Leighton Meester is the a typical Chloé girl, cute, sassy, young and beautiful.

I love her look, but her satin apricot Spring 2009 dress looks like it needs adjusting a little. It kinda looks a bit twisted on her.

I simply adore her bracelet, her hair and flawless make up.

Christian Louboutin Dillian Flower pumps from the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2009 collection complete the look.

Chloe Sevigny, who co-hosted this event with Kate, wore a navy blue pant suit from the Spring 2009 collection, under a white blazer with scalloped edged lapels from the same collection.

Like her co-host this is easy for Chloe, and I appreciated her efforts in not wearing Look 29 as presented, and mixing things up a little.

Looking as stylish as ever, Camilla Belle opted out of wearing white, like so many others, but that only made her stand out even more.

Her leather-look Chloé Pre-Fall 2009 LBD, had cute bow ties going down the back. It maybe black, but it ain’t safe. Just look at how short it is.

Two-tone Chloé Spring 2009 heels, and a black clutch complete the look.

Wow so many of my girl crushes graced this event. Fabulous overload.

The absolute beauty of Lake Bell’s look, is how simple, clean and fresh it all looks.

She never tries too hard, but always looks outstanding.

January Jones wore a Chloé draped Grecian gown, belted with a blush pink sash.

Her make-up was a flawless as her dress.

Maria Sharapova serves up an other ace, proving her off-court style is worthy of our admiration.

The plunge neck nude Pre-Fall 2009 dress, with the navy sash is fabulous, but her hair and heels lose her a few points.

Molly Sims opted for a champagne and black printed dress from the Chloe Pre-Fall 2009 collection, with clear embellishments.

I love this sassy dress, which she wore with Chloé Spring 2009 bow heels.

Amber Valletta’s Chloé Spring 2009 asymmetric dress, with a ruffled neckline is very chic, but her hairstyle really lets her down.

I love these peachy/nude colours on Camilla Alves.

Her look was from the Chloé Resort 2009 collection, which included a boyfriend blazer, tank top, embellished mini skirt, nude heels and a clutch I would die for.

Gaile Lai’s khaki Chloé Spring 2009 jumpsuit is so incredibly chic, but I really don’t like her choice of heels.

Ever Carradine picked the only dress from the Chloé Resort 2009 collection, which I never expected to see on the red carpet. I really don’t think this dress will flatter anyone.

Estelle’s black playsuit is well accessorized, but I still feel like she is very muted lately. She’s not the Estelle we are used to seeing.

Emma Stone’s cobalt blue long sleeved shift dress, was worn with Jimmy Choo Samoa Kid sandals.

Dear Agyness Deyn, we all know break-ups are tough, but remember you’re flying the flag for British fashion. Please dress more appropriately in future.

Debbie Matenopoulos presents The Daily 10, and during awards season she also presents Fashion Police.

Debbie, I think it’s time for you to turn yourself in.

She is wearing a Alice + Olivia Penelope party dress.

This is your second to last chance to give your shout outs for Best Dressed this week.

For the Tribeca Film Festival, Evan Rachel Wood walked the red carpet for her new film Whatever Works, which is directed by Woody Allen.

She contrasted her slicked-back red hair with this black Dolce & Gabbana strapless gown, which was decorated with lace details around the bodice and trim.

The actress looked glamorous, and I loved the voluminous puffy skirt, and a sweet-heart neckline.


For the movies after party Evan changed into a black and white sheath dress, from the L’Wren Scott Fall 2009 collection.

The dress had tuxedo shirt bibbed front, and white cuffs, with black contrast buttons.

Both looks are very sophisticated, but the Dolce & Gabbana dress wins me over.

Watching Asian stars on the red carpet, is always a treat.

The looks are daring, exciting, some crazy, fashion forward, and risky weather they pay off or not.

Case and point is Yoon Eun-hye. She picked the most daring piece from the Prada Spring 2009 collection.

The maroon sweater is open at the back, with a few ties to secure it, which she wore with printed shorts, and a what could be confused as an apron tied to her waist.

Unlike when Nicole Kidman wore a piece from this collection, Yoon didn’t press out all the intended creases.

On the site where I got this photo from, they said she should be arrested. I think she should be applauded for her bravery.


Despite her bashful wave, Cha Ye-ryun also picked a fabulous colourful strapless dress from the Miu Miu Spring 2009 collection, which was famed for it’s mosaic prints.

Yes she is wearing the total runway look, with a green python Prada clutch, but her look is still so refreshing.



Kim Min-hee’s Prada Spring 2009 dress may look plain, from this angle, but it has transparent panels on the sides.

I love that she wore a black scarf around her head to compliment the ties on her shoulder and the hip of her dress.


Sung Yuri modified her black Miu Miu Spring 2009 dress, by shortening it, to show off more her long legs.

She should have also shortened the sash around the waist, as it dominates the skirt of her dress.

Her hair was styled into an updo, whilst she wore snake skin heels from the Prada Spring 2009 collection.


Koh Ara wore a Miu Miu Strapless print dress from the Spring 2009 collection. This dress has a mosaic print on the front, with a black paneled back.

Koh looks very sophisticated wearing her dress with the red runway belt, and Prada heels.

You can buy this dress for Net-A-Porter’s US site for $1,865, or the international site for £1,055/€1,350.

Nope this is not Beyonce Knowles day, but she is making me sigh with a lot of appreciation for her choices lately.

It was the New York screening of her new thriller Obsessed last night, and for once she is going to make Best Dressed of the Week a very difficult choice, and I have NEVER said that about Beyonce.

Beyonce arrived wearing a Balmain Fall 2009 sequined dress, which had pointy neckline. The train was wrapped around her waist, then it cascades down to the ground with dramatic effect from her hips.

When I saw B in this dress, I was happy the hair was sleek and straight, waves or curls would have been too much.

The accessories are none fussy, none blingy, whilst the shoes are patent Louboutin pumps.

I’m totally in love with her here, in case you didn’t pick up on my gushing. ♥

Miley, Kate Beyonce….Hmmm, it’s going to another tough choice this week.
