Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: August 2009

The X Factor is due to start on Saturday in the UK, and I can barely contain my excitement.

We’ll be watching what has been taped weeks in advance, so this gives the judges some time out before the drama of the live shows in the Autumn.

X Factor judge Dannii Minogue is back at home in Australia, and she was sitting front row at this show wearing strapless corseted Victoria Beckham Fall 2009 dress with an organza bodice overlay and sequin hip panel.

Danni wore her dress with black clutch and Christian Louboutin pigalle heels.

The dress looks good on Dannii, but it would’ve been better had she shortened it.

No matter what we say about Victoria’s style, it seems that celebs just can’t get enough of VB threads that the moment.

Victoria Beckham and Selita Ebanks have both already worn this dress.

Former Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins is currently the very pretty face of “Myer”.

She arrived on the red carpet wearing a plunging black dress, with a bow detail on the waist and crystal details on the shoulders.  Those details remind me of the Givenchy Spring 2009 collection.

Black peep-toes complete the look.

Lara Bingle was ‘glowing’ in a pale pink long sleeve Prada dress which has a the back cut-out.

Her hair was slight wild and messy and her make-up kept light.

YSL white strappy sandals complete the look.

When I was in Topshop earlier today, the first thing I thought of when I saw their taffeta prom dress was Louis Vuitton.

It has the same poufy sleeves, low neckline, slim waist, vibrant fuschia colour and incredibly short hemline.

The Topshop dress is available to purchase for £50 and is part of their Dynasty Dame range.

Elle Macpherson appears to be an unofficial brand ambassador for Victoria Beckham’s dress collection, because yet again the supermodel was spotted on “The Beautiful Life” wearing a dress from VB’s Spring 2009 collection.

The obsession started back in May this year when Elle wore a strapless black Spring 2009 dress to “The CW Network 2009 Upfront” event in New York.

She was no doubt drawn to the sleek structured design that enhanced and flattered her toned body.

All the pictures we have seen of Elle on set of “The Beautiful Life” this month have all been in VB’s Spring 2009 and Fall 2009 designs.

In the show Elle is Claudia Foster, a former Eighties supermodel who runs a modelling agency. Which explains the big hair and the pout.

In the most recent picture she looks like school teacher which is quite confusing.

“It’s On With Alexa Chung”

Diane Kruger has had many great style moments since she started promoting “Inglourious Basterds”.

On the Alexa Chung show this week she opted for a laid back look which mixed downtown chic with feminine prints.

Her look included a cute Kimchi Blue black ditsy floral dress from Urban Outfitters, a cream Chanel flap bag and n.d.c. Sunday black boots.

“Late Show With David Letterman”

In a much improved look from the New York screening the previous night, Diane was picture perfect as she posed photographers outside “Letterman”.

She looked ultra chic wearing a black Chanel dress with a sheer yoke and sleeves.

The shoulders were accented with gold paillettes and the waist with ivory beads.

Jimmy Choo heels complete the look.

This look is definitely in the top 5 of her promo looks for me.

What do you think?

Renee Zellweger was inducted into the Hall of Fame on ‘Vanity Fair’s 70th Annual International Best-Dressed List’, which I think was well deserved.

I love Renee. She always wears Carolina Herrera, yet it never becomes boring or stale mostly because the dresses are modified to suit the actress chic style.

She once went a whole year only wearing strapless dresses, but she mixes things up a lot more now.

On Saturday she attended a special screening of her new movie “My One and Only”, attended by Marc Jacobs, Jon Bon Jovi, and Tory Burch.

Renee looked radiant wearing a Carolina Herrera Resort 2010 halter dress, with a silver floral print and a silver sash on the waist.

The dress of course has been modified from the runway, as we’ve come to expect.

Her dress was paired with silver strappy sandals.

Yesterday Renee started off her day with an appearance on ‘Good Morning America’.

The surprised thing here is not the large orange Hermes Birkin – because orange was one of the main colours used in the Carolina Herrera Resort 2010 collection – the surprise is that her grey pencil dress with a tie detail on the shoulder was not modified. It’s straight off-the-rack. *shock*

Renee looked relaxed teaming her dress aviator sunglasses and nude heels.

Despite being romantically linked to Bradley Cooper, Renee arriving solo for the special screening of her movie in New York last night.

Wearing a figure-hugging off-the-shoulder Carolina Herrera dress with a jewel waistband, Renee looked every inch a Hollywood star on the red carpet.

I love the dark taupe colour of her dress paired with her nude heels from earlier in the day. For me she’s head-to-toe perfection.

“My One and Only” Friday, August 21.

Actress Zoe Saldana was the first to wear this full-skirted grey Azzedine Alaia dress to the “Star Trek” London premiere at the Empire Leicester Square.

This sparkly dress was the perfect for choice for Zoe as it made her stand out on the red carpet.

She accessorized her dress with long dangling earrings, a bold cuff, and Azzedine Alaia lace-up booties.

Model Doutzen Kroes must have loved the look so much because duplicated the look from head-to-booties for the “Looking for Eric” during Cannes Film Festival.

Unfortunately for Doutzen the dress makes her appear wider than she is, whereas it delicately skims Zoe’s hips.

Zoe totally owned this look, so she wins for me.
