Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: September 2009

Best Dressed Award
It’s been a while but Selena Gomez finally wears something that I really love, as she had been dressed older than her teen years.

I adore her pink Tracy Reese Black Label gown, especially the cute petals adorning the bodice and shoulder.

It’s the perfect gown for her both the colour and style.

Best Spring 2010 Red Carpet Debut Award
Jordana Brewster picked a stunning gown from Reem Acra’s recently presented Spring 2010 collection.

The strapless draped canary yellow gown is such an ethereal colour which adds warmth of her skin.

Perfect choice for her.

Back to Black Award
After having a very brief flirtation as a blonde, Nelly Furtado goes back to her natural darker hair colour.

She looked stunning last night wearing Elie Saab Fall 2009 black halter-neck gown with contrasting lace panel for a provocative twist.

This is her second Elie Saab look in a row.

Slightly Disappointed, But I Do Like It Award
I expected a big gown from Eva Longoria on this red carpet, but I guess she was saving them for the show.

The host for the night opted for a strapless taupe paillette covered column Oscar de la Renta dress – which slightly squash the twins – paired taupe heels.

Her hair and neutral make-up are perfect for this look.

Best Non-Supported Actress Award

Jennifer Morrison should really have worn a bra with her Herve Leger cream gown, because the twins are looking a wee bit lopsided.

Once I got over that I could appreciated how stunning she looks.

She could have easily opted for a neutral make-up, but added a dash of red to the lips for a more sultry look.

Frizz Ease Award
Dania Ramirez’ also wore a canary yellow gown, but hers was by Pamella Roland.

I love the gown and the criss-crossing ruched detail on the bodice, but girlfriend needs some serum in her hair to control that frizz.

De Ja Vu Award
Jamie-Lynn Sigler wore a gown earlier this week in exactly the same colour, but this time her gown is strapless.

I’m more excited by the necklace than the gown.

Most Disappointing Award
Salma Hayek would normally proudly show-off the twins, wear a stunning gown, or do both.

This is not a look I would associate with Salma.

The shorter velvet deep lilac modified Bottega Veneta Fall 2009 dress is hideous and so over accessorized with the two necklaces and jewled headband.

YSL metallic Trib Two heels and a matching Bottega Veneta box clutch completes this terrible look.  I really hate it.

Worst Dressed Award
I was surprised Eva La Rue was wearing a Zuhair Murad gown, because this gown is very Las Vegas show girl to me.

From the colour to the embellished neckline, it just screams tacky.

What is it with the lack of support on this red carpet?

After returning from New York Fashion Week, I thought I reached my celebrity spotting quota for the year.

At the Caroline Charles show this morning during London Fashion Week I met THE celebrity.

Joan Collins.

Seriously I thought I was going to die.

She looks fabulous wearing a leopard print top with BOLD SHOULDERS. How apt considering the bold shoulder was very much inspired by her Alexis Carrington Colby character in Dynasty.

I didn’t know if I should curtsy, as I felt like I was in the presence of royalty.

Hard to believe she is 76 right?

Pictures taken by me.

When I arrived back from New York yesterday I was greeted with a few envelopes with invitations to London Fashion Week shows, which I’m very excited about as this year is the British Fashion Council’s 25th anniversary.

In honour of that anniversary many British based designers are returning to London to present their collections.

Burberry, Jonathan Saunders, Matthew Williamson, Pringle of Scotland and one of my favourites Antonio Berardi will be returning to London.

Megan Fox has recently become a fan wearing two pieces from the designer back to back. But the also has loyal fans who include Anna Friel, Victoria Beckham and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Berardi, who usually presents his collections during Paris Fashion Week, credits Peroni Nastro Azzuro for his return to the London schedule.

The Italian beer manufacturer, whom Berardi collaborated with earlier this year to design a range of accessories, has made it possible for the designer to be part of what promises to be a fantastic London Fashion Week.

When it comes to this long-sleeved Kimberly Ovitz body con dress, it’s all about with back cut-outs details which is why both AnnaLynne McCord or Olivia Wilde showed off the back of the dress whilst posing on the red carpet.

AnnaLynne McCord brought some serious Va Va Voom on the red carpet when she attended the 8th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in LA back in June.

Her black Kimberly Ovitz pencil sheath dress was business in the front, but party in the back. The actress completed her femme fatale look with an elegant updo and pointy black patent pumps.

Olivia Wilde arrived on the red carpet of the 2009 FOX All-Star Party wearing the same sizzling LBD which she accessorized with camel Jimmy Choo “Seattle” sandals.

She also sported an updo to show off the back of her dress.

For me this is all about AnnaLynne. She’s oozing from every pore and she looks like she’s having a lot of fun wearing this LBD.

You can purchase this Kimberly Ovitz Martin jersey cutout dress from Net-A-Porter’s international site for £455/€558.37.

The 2009 ALMA Awards celebrating the outstanding achievements of Latinos in entertainment takes place tonight, but will air in the US on Friday September 18.

For the first time in the history of the show, the ALMA Awards will broadcast during National Hispanic Heritage Month, a month in which all Americans learn about the Latino community and celebrate the contributions that Latinos have made to this country throughout its history.

Eva Longoria is the host alongside legendary actor George Lopez.

We can expect to see Eva wearing many stunning gowns on the night. Last year she changed 8 times during the night.

When she shot the promo for this event she wore a stunning baby blue Gustavo Cadile Resort 2010 gown, with a ruffled detail on the hip which is embellished with stunning jewels.

I adore the colour of this gown, it’s so right for her skin-tone but the gown deserved to be on the red carpet.
