October 26th, 2009

Before I get to fashion, Rachel Adedeji made a total fool of herself on Saturday night as she morphed into Stacey Solomon. I was so embarrassed for her and annoyed she wasn’t in the bottom two.

Back to fashion.

It was week 3 and Cheryl Cole wore her 3rd Atelier Versace look in a row.

This time she opted for a stunning Grecian style asymmetrical Atelier Versace Spring 2009 gown with a thigh-high split, which we’ve seen before on the red carpet.

The gown was stunning, but I wasn’t happy with the hair.

I understand that her stylist was going for a goddess look, but the part that dangled loosely just bothered me all night, plus the silver headpiece was a bit much with her big hair.

Had she simply pulled her hair back and let the gown do all the talking, I would’ve loved this look.

Once again I struggled to find Dannii Minogue’s gown, but I just had to feature her because she was DROP-DEAD-GORGEOUS on Saturday night.

She wore a breath-taking antique silver embellished gown with exquisite Boucheron jewels and YSL heels whilst sporting old Hollywood marcel waves.

Definitely up for BDOTW.

On Sunday’s result show Cheryl wore a silver paillette Julien Macdonald Spring 2010 mini dress with nude panels and bold shoulders.

The silver paillette’s gave the dress a fish-scale type of look, which she paired with Rupert Sanderson Plato sling back peep-toes.

It was a bold choice for Cheryl, but it wasn’t my favourite look on her. It worked better on the runway.

I really hope she wears Look 32 as that was my favourite from Macdonald’s Spring 2010 collection.

Dannii blew me away again wearing a nude dress with a peplum on one hip, with a dripping effect of embellished details on her dress.

I have a feeling this one is by her favourite designer J’Aton Couture.

I hate pitting them against each other, but it was Dannii’s week.

Update: Dannii confirmed via Twitter that both of her looks are by J’Aton Couture.

    what was she thinking with that Julien Macdonald dress? She had been doing so well, but then she goes as uses a dress to get attention? it sucks, like when she wore that Mcqueen ice skater look with the fringes

    Wow! This season the judges are totally into fashion! Dannii does look great in both looks. Isn’t Cheryl’s Versace the same one Penelope wore to last year’s Oscar Party?

    I Loved Cheryl’s first look on Saturday night in Versace.She looked beautiful, I liked the hair too.I wasn’t that impressed with her 2nd look & I agree that it worked better on the runway!

  7. robbie says:

    I wrote to the designer and asked for them to confirm, but I think you are right that they are both j’Aton Couture

    The Atelier Versace was soooo gorgeous but she let herself down with the Julien Macdonald dress. Cheryl just barely won for me on the first night as did Dannii on the second because I didn’t feel for either of their dresses on Sunday.

    I think Cheryl Cole does look amazing in her dresses but it also feels like she’s trying TOO hard ..to outdo Dannii I’m sure.. I want to tell her to relax a bit.. she’s going to take (waste?) all the versace dresses.

  10. Marvel says:

    I was so disappointed that Rachel didnt get chucked out. Your completely right when she tried to be ditzy and likeabe but she came off as idiotic and a copycat. I hated how she reacted when she found out that she’d gone through.
    Anyway. Cheryl looks amazing and for what its worh I liked her headband but not the hair. I loved her hair on Sunday but not crazy about the dress.

    I loved Danni’s looks and so glad to see she hasnt forgotten her melbourne roots - Fashion Critic you would love some of the Aussie Fashion :)

    Cheryl looked amazing the 1st night - but my problem is shes hidden from mid chest down - both of them look so goood and u cant see it :(

    Finally - i love Rachel - she deserves to make it further than the other 2 girls

  14. Stuti says:

    Oh my God, Danni. I LOVE her nude dress better than the grey/silver. Nude dress up for BDOTW please FC? ;)
    Also, I find the term “nude” very confusing. :S

  15. La Poubelle says:

    fashion first
    i loved the past three atelier versace collections so it fills me with joy to see cheryl wear them :)
    danni stole the show though on sunday night as her gown was breathtaking

    xfactor
    rachel has no charm but is a good singer, i thought it was bad when she spoke after her performance but was happy to see her get through, where was her dress from?
    i beleive this season is a fix…how could danyl and miss frank be in the bottom two?!

    Completely agree with your comments about John and Edward. I’m Irish and even if I could vote it wouldn’t be for them. In some of the clips they showed last week, you could see them dancing during their masterclass with Whitney Houston. REALLY?!?!?!?!

    Fashion Critic's reply:
    October 26th, 2009 at 16:41

    LOL so true. Whitney must have thought she was being punked.

  16. shubby doo says:

    still trying to find out.

  18. The one says:

    Dont mean to criticise, I’m asking out of curiosity: why is Cheryl wearing pentihose/tights with that McDonald dress and if she must, shouldnt she be wearing closed choes? I really don’t like it this way, maybe I’m mistaken?

    [Reply]

    Fashion Critic's reply:
    October 26th, 2009 at 15:35

    You know I questioned whether she was wearing tights, but I thought she couldn’t be with peep-toes.

  19. FashionLover says:

    If my memory serves me correctly,i think Penelope Cruz also wore that white Atelier Versace dress,i think to the vanity fair Oscars party

    Danni looks lovely!! specially her first look,,,WOW

    [Reply]

  21. Leo says:

    I’m always the firts to say Cheryl can ruin couture, but this time she wowed me, she looks amazing in that dress.

    Also loving Danii, the first dress is outstanding. And that second one is pure perfection, her best look of the year, it will be hard to top that in the next weeks.

  22. 00o00 says:

    danii confirmed via twitter her saturday dress was j’aton couture

    rachel was desperate to do a stacey. very sad.

    I will now be stalking her via Twitter every week.

    I will miss Miss Frank too.

    They were never going to win, but they had a few more weeks in them

    ooooooooooh!!!!!
    Dannii is giving Cheryl a run for a her money
    Dannii reminded everyone she was is the game way before Cheryl and that she never left.

    I feel like Cheryl is wearing all these Versace Atelier clearance

  24. sarah says:

    Dannii looks absolutely stunning in both dresses, her feminine shape works well in most clothes I imagine. I really didn’t like Cheryl’s fishy dress, I think very few women could pull that style off. Someone with womanly curves like Angelina could definitely have rocked that look.

  25. Amy says:

    I also feel that Cheryl is trying too hard to out do Danni. Unfortunately Danni wins hands down every time. Regarding the tights. Is she not wearing tights to hide her tatoos? because lets face it, it would definately look unsightly and cheapen the whole courture look..

  26. kkxoxox says:

    love both cheryl’s looks….don’t really like the hair in the first one…but love the hair piece..not gone on dani’s sunday night outfit but she look gorgeous in the saturday night dress.
