Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: September 2009

The Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2010 collection was a lot softer in comparison to his Fall 2009 urban warrior collection.

We saw optical prints, sleeveless tops, tulip shaped coats and cocktail dresses.

Many of the pieces had rounded hems which was an interesting twist. There was subtle layering and sleek silhouettes.

The colour palette consisted of mostly neutrals or black, with purple and silver included also.

My favourite pieces were the finale gowns which were very simple.

The tank-style gowns had a shorter hemline in front and a flowing back. When it caught the wind of the runway the dress billowed and moved so graciously.

Jessica Alba was the last celebrities to arrive at her seat and the photographers went wild.

How celebrities cope with those flash bulbs is beyond me.

She wore a bubble hemmed mini dress, with a black sequined top and a starry midnight sky skirt.

I’m not sure if they were expecting her to do something crazy but Courtney Love got the most flashbulbs.

Maybe the photographers just wanted to get a close up of the satin details on her Narciso Rodriguez black viscose dress.

Emmy Rossum looked really cute in her Fall 2009 halter dress, with an edgy army fatigue print on the bodice.

She was in the front row with her stylist and right in my eye line, so every now and then I would see her saying to her stylist “That’s cute”.

So we should expect to see Emmy wearing Narciso Rodriguez pieces in the future on the red carpet.

I literally just got back home and instead of doing what normal people do – unpack etc etc, I turned on my computer as I was dying to see what events took place last night.

Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony arrived at a meeting with Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to discuss education in the Latino community on Capitol Hill in Washington.

It has also been reported that Jennifer also met with the President Barack Obama and his wife while doing a tour through the White House.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jennifer Lopez was wearing a blush sheath dress from Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2010 presentation, which was presented just 4 days ago.

I love how the dress is hugging her curves and doing more justice to the dress than the model ever could.

She looks absolutely exquisite.  Everyone has really raised their game this week.

It’s the right colour for her skin-tone and Victoria will be proud that Jennifer was very matchy matchy with her accessories.

The singer/actress paired her dress with Christian Louboutin heels and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.

From the back of Jennifer’s dress, you can see Victoria has kept her trademark exposed two-way zippers as a feature for her collection.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria will open its first UK store in London today, on the eve of London Fashion Week.

The store will be located on Lowdnes Street in Knightsbridge, London.

The store will carry the collection on two levels with a VIP area in the basement.

“When I bought Hervé Léger in 1999, I had one idea in mind: the Hollywood glamour. Femininity is the base of my inspiration and the rebirth of this brand, as I kept the couture spirit of Hervé Léger. I most definitely wanted a boutique in London, the capital of avant-gardism and creativity,” says Creative Director, Max Azria.

In this picture of Lily Allen it would be easy to assume that the singer was shooting the Chanel Resort 2010 campaign, as she’s wearing a red jacket from that collection.

She is actually being shot by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel’s Coco Cocoon campaign.

In the behind the scenes video from the Coco Cocoon campaign, the singer poses with ‘just got out of bed’ hair and a sexy red pout.

These images are in stark contrast to the lady-like images we have already seen from the black and white campaign.

When you think of a pregant woman at the 2009 Grammy’s you will remember M.I.A, but Kimora Lee Simmons was expecting her third child with boyfriend Djimon Hounsou when she attended Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party.

Kimora who heads up her own Baby Phat fashion line, chose her a maternity evening gown from A Pea in a Pod.

Kimora glowed in a rose gown with rosette detailing on the shoulder.

The “Guiding Light” actress Marcy Rylan arrived with her fiancé Don Money at the recent Daytime Emmy Awards wearing the same gown.

The actress bloomed a lot more in her gown as she is expecting her first child in mid-October.

Both women show us how fabulous maternity gowns can look on the red carpet, but Marcy is blooming marvelous so she wins for me.

I’m literally running to catch my flight back to London, but I just had to bring you the Marchesa Spring 2010 collection before I left.

The Marchesa Spring 2010 collection softly embraces the drama and romance of Madame Butterfly.

As you would expect gowns galore, the next more stunning and more extravagant than the previous.

I walked around the Chelsea Art Museum muttering ‘stunning’ as I viewed each piece.

The colour palette was mostly black and white, with mint green, ivory and lilac pieces also presented.

Many pieces had exquisite beaded and embroidered detail, whilst others had corsages, ruffled bodices, tulle skirts, flared skirts, real illusion panels – not the ice-skater kind – and draped sleeves.

It wasn’t only gowns that were presented.

There was also an embroidered obi jacket paired with black shorts, and cute little cocktail dresses.

Here are some of the detail shots I took. They include hand-painted tights, feathered eye-lashes plus shoes and booties by Christian Louboutin.

The clutches are from Marchesa’s debut accessories collection.

Celebrities who attended the show were Blake Lively, and Becki Newton.

It was the perfect way to end Fashion Week.

See you on the other side.
