I’m really excited to announce that BAFTA have given me spot on the red carpet at the 2010 Orange British Academy Film Awards which takes place in London on February, 21. *girlie scream*
If you had told me this would have happened when I started my blog in my bedroom 3 years ago I would’ve said you were crazy.
I would like thank all of you readers, as your support and your sharing of my blog with your friends, colleagues and family has made this possible.
Let’s pray it doesn’t rain this year.

Congratulations FC!!! I am so excited for you!!! You have done an incredible job covering as many fashion events possible, and though sometimes people become rude, you are always diplomatic and remind people that this about opinion. Have a phenomenal time, and I’ll be here, reading your blog forever.

Congrats, your blog is without doubt my most visited webpage! Enjoy the event!
That’s amazing, you must be so excited, I’ve been following you for 2 and a half years and I love your website. xx
I can barely exhale…
Thanks and thanks for your support…2 and a half years is a long time to put up with my moaning about tights on the red carpet.
Wow, your so lucky! I agree with the others that you really deserve it
thanks Lorrain
wow congrat FC, you truly deserve this the ammount of time and dedication you put into this site is truly paying off. getting to go to fashion shows, interview designers and celebrities and now getting to go on the red carpet. i will have to look out for you on tv.
have you planned what your going to wear? *huggles*
It will be something warm and long as I will live by my own rule of “NO COATS ON THE RED CARPET”. LOL
No tight too
you poor thing i hope it wont be too cold on the night. i cant believe it the amount of celebs you will get to meet. i heard a rumour kylie will be there, so if she is and you get to speak to her please tell her i love her lol.
LOL I will
Congratulations, you really deserve it and I am so exited for you! Tell us how it was and show us some pics!
xx
I’m going armed with a camera for sure.
Congrats!!! How about a wishlist of gowns that you would lurrrve to wear. And perhaps, one of the design houses will oblige! (How awesome would that be! )
That would be cute x
It’s like every month you are telling us one thing that the rest of us cant ever dream of having. And yet, strangely, I love you all the more for it, FC!
Am so happy for you, this is HUGE!
Much love from India.
PS: I have said it once, I will say it again. I see a Catherine bag in the making.
ROTFLMAO….. A Catherine Bag would be hilarious.
I wonder if Elie or Donatella could name a bag after me… j/k
Congratulations!!!! Can’t wait for your coverage of the event– and make sure you tell us who YOU are wearing as well!!
Oh for sure
Congrats! I’m so happy and excited for you. I’m so glad you’re living your dream.
But I have to ask, does this mean you’re going to walk on the red carpet or you’re going to interview the celebrities? Sorry, I’m clueless when it comes to these.
I will be a bit like Ryan Seacrest, only I will be asking the all important question he always forgets…”Who Are You Wearing?”
Ooooh I looove it! Congratulations again! I’m sooo excited for you I could do a *girlie scream* with you.
one two three ahhhhhhh
Fantastic! Congratulations and lol re the “girlie scream”…
WHAAAAAT? This is SO huge!!!!! Big, big congrats!! Awww, so excited for you! You’re def. one of my blogger heroes
XO

*sings* “Then a Hero comes along….”
Congratulations!!! you totally deserve it
You blog have come really popular, i’ve got some friends that read it too (I’m from Chile, south america)
and of course, this is time to say thank you, because you always are informed about the last news and and you have such an incredible taste in fashion.
I’ve never left a comment in your blog before (I should) but I only wanted to say that you deserve it and I’m so happy for you!!
thanks Juan, and thanks for spreading the word about my blog.
Oh god, am so excited to see who you would wear. You will put up your pictures, right FC?
Of course…
Awesome, Congratulations! Will you get to interview the people on the red carpet? Your coverage is always outstanding. I am so happy for you.
Yes I hope they will come to me. I’ll have to sharpen my elbows.
WOW, WOW, WOW!
Congrats FC! I’m very pleased for you. I love this blog! I stumbled upon it about a year ago when I was trying to find some pics of the Oscar dresses. I have been an avid follower since!
I am no fashionista (what I know you could print on the bottom of your shoe!) but I love seeing the beautiful clothes and I have certainly learnt a lot.
As well as all the celebs, be sure to get a pic of YOURSELF on the red carpet!
Promise?!
I promise…cross my heart
Congrats!! I am certain some great designer will pull through and loan you an awesome design – you may blog your opinion about celebrities, but your support of creative fashion/design is undeniable. Have Fun!
I will try…I’m gonna be so nervous
I am your loyal reader from Macau, China (a tiny city in Southern China). I have started reading your blog since two years ago, and you know what, I love you blog so much that you actually make my day! I checked your website three to four times per day.
You are totally worth being invited to this big event. I look forward to seeing your comments on the celebrities’ style on this event!
Thanks Pouin. I’m so happy you love my work so much x
OMG!!!!!!!!!! That is F*cking awesome!!!!!
Oh you deserve it so much, I’m so happy for you and I’m so happy for us as you won’t be one of this people who sucks up to celebrities, at least we will have some intelligent comments! I can’t wait now!!! Look fabulous and bring us back all of the gossips!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are a success story!
Thanks Maud. It’s all down to readers like you.
I feel like crying…Thanks
awww bless.
Oh my goodness! I read this and thought “wow, I’m so happy for FC, I’ll comment and say congratu- oh wait, about a billion people already got there first!” But still, you can never have too many AAAAH YAY messages, so here’s another one
You totally deserve it. This is my favourite fashion blog, and you seem to me to be the hardest working blogger out there!
Cannot wait to see what you’ll be wearing!
thanks B…your message is very much appreciated
Congratulations!! You totally deserve this, this blog is awesome.
I think you deserve a gorgeous pair of red pumps (or peep-toes ) now (; We know how much you love them!
Hugs and have fun!
You must be referring to those Valentino’s I’ve been drooling over since last year.
http://www.net-a-porter.com/intl/ViewFullSizeImage.ice?productID=51025¤tImage=51025_in
Actually to Momoco Tao’s red YSL eel skin pumps she wore at the 46th Golden Horse Awards. ( http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2009/12/16/46th-golden-horse-awards/ )
But those Valentino’s are also to die for …
I never write comments on your blog, but I had to this time.
I read your blog everyday with my friends, and I really enjoy reading your comments. Unlike other magazines or fashion blogs, you are not bitchy which is refreshing.
I am really happy for you and you deserve it with all the work you put into it.
I hope more amazing stuff will happen for you and good luck at the BAFTA.
Sarah (Montreal, Canada)
Finally I pulled you out of lurkerdom… j/k

I hoped, but dare not dream
I’m really happy for you, you deserve it !
Congratulations
thanks Elise
Wow wow wow! I’ve been reading your blog for almost 2 years now (I think the first posts I read were the 2008 Costume Institute Ball, and then I went back to your previous posts to read more!!) and it feels like I’ve watched your blog blossom from its near-beginnings til now! I am so pleased and so proud! I’m a little clueless about what you’ll actually be doing tho – I take it you’ll be blogging and taking pics but will you be interviewing the celebs for TV or just for the blog?
It has grown so much. thanks for sticking by me <3
Congrats!! I read your blog almost daily & it’s always fun & informative. Enjoy yourself, you deserve it! Hopefully you’ll post what your own red carpet look will be
I will thanks
Congratulations!!! This is amazing. How exciting for you? Thank you for all that you do to make your site outstanding! It is my favorite! I’m in DC, so I check it every morning, and then again a few times in the morning for your later updates. Love it and enjoy the red carpet!!
When I get home I think I’ll let out a huge scream.
Thanks Megan x
Wow, this is amazing! You are really becoming a celebrity.
You are so lucky; I would die if I was ever invited to a huge event. Be sure to post pictures of what you’re wearing!! I bet it will be beautiful.
LOL…If I get like Perez Hilton – which I won’t – shoot me.
Thanks Taylor.
OMG!!!
Im so happy for you!
It couldnt have happened to better person!!
Oh and you MUST post a ‘runway to the BAFTA’s’ for yourself!!
I will. that’s such a cute idea.
Big congratulations to you, this is huge!! You really deserve it and I sincerely hope that this is the first of many! Wish I had found your site sooner, but now I’m a follower for life:) Best of luck, the sun will shine that day!

Red Carpet Fashion Awards is my BEST fashion blog, you are very talented!!
Congratulations!!
Thanks P. I won’t let you guys down.
Ah, I remember this first time I visited this site (throught the Victoria Bekcham blog) it was fairly knew, and look now, you’ve been invited to a major awards show. 2010 is your year FC, I think it’s totally unfair that we are the only one who knows about your work, it’s about time the whole world knew. I see all these “fashion bloggers on tv and magazines” they are only there because of what their wardrobe looks like as opposed to their knowledge of fashion. You are the epitome of what a fashion blogger is and it’s been an honor being a visitor since it’s birth. Congrats
WOW…I didn’t realise you were a reader from VDB.
I don’t even know when I would find the time to update that blog if I still had it.
i reached your blog trought the victoria beckham one too!
So glad you guys followed me, thanks
So many comments I didn’t know my comment went through, so I wrote another LOL.
Hi Matt,
I was going through so many…Nice to have so much support from you all
Onwards and upwards F.C. – you totally deserve this, can’t wait to see what you wear, you always bring a ray of sunshine into my day, every day (and believe me that’s important living in rainy Vancouver!)……bravo!!
as I enjoy reading your comments.
Thanks Mol
OMG Catherine!I soooooooooo happy for you!Its so well deserved!Cant wait too see your pix from Bafta!I am sure you ll turn all men heads!
pardon my english)Big kiss from Ural,Russia)
Thanks Regina xxx
Congrats! Really, congrats to the BAFTA peeps for being smart enough to recognize what a great blog this is.
thanks K. They are smart people.
Interesting! Well done! I hope you get to interview Carey Mulligan!
oooh I hadn’t even thought about actual guests…too busy being excited.
OMG! This is SO COOL! Congratulations, you deserve it.
Hi FC! Ooh, I’m a little slow just heard the news!
CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m totally excited for you and although it has been said so many times, you deserve this, you truly do!
I hope you keep up this awesome site for fashion lovers worldwide. *BIG HUG*
*gratefully receives the love and hug*
Thanks
Wow wow wow, i’m so happy for you you deserve it! God bless you x (Please remember me if there are anymore vacancy’s. I’ve wanted to join from the first day I visited your blog).
thanks Tania.
Will do
You are a brave, brave soul to face that weather without a coat, but I’m sure the excitement will help to keep you from freezing over
YOU ARE AMAZING AND I’M SO HAPPY EVERYONE IS TAKING NOTE – CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
You’re right I doubt I will feel the cold with all the excitement.
I told you so!!! It was just a matter of time and this is just the beginning! You work hard, and as someone pointed out earlier, one of the things that sets you apart, other than your superior fashion knowledge, is that you are actually pleasant and appreciative of your followers. That’s why everyone is so happy for you… All the best on that night and I hope you find something appropriately functional yet fashionably fabulous to wear!
You did so…
Thanks Lara <3
I don’t know what to say, looks like everybody’s ahead of me, they just said everything I was thinking before I had the chance… thank you once again for your wonderful job here, this is a most deserved reward for your patience to keep this marvelous blog and answer requests and even put up with rudeness sometimes… I’m a huge fan of red carpet fashion, and this blog has saved my life since the moment I discovered it, back in 2007… I’m sure you will do perfectly fine there, way better than Ryan Seacrest I’m sure…I’m dying to see what you’re gonna wear as well! well, all that said, thank you and good luck!
Thanks Amelia. I’m glad to know you share my passion.
FC x
Congratulations.
I’m a big fan of you blog and wish you all the best.
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro – Brazil

My comment didn’t go through. Congratulations FC, you totally deserve this and more, 2010 is your year, the beginning of greater things to come. You breathe fashion and we inhale it. You are in the blogging business for the love of fashion and not for the fame in which most bloggers get lost in. I respect your work and everything that you are, Hopefully the e! network would hire you for their award show stuff and get rid of all the “fauxshionista” they have on now. Raises glass…*To FC*
congratultions!! you deserve it!
can’t wait to read your report from the red carpet
You deserve it so bad. I’m sure you’ll look amazing!

What extraordinary news! A testament to everything you and this amazing site have come to represent over the past couple of years. We’re talking the RED CARPET here, your speciality. Everyone else should be bowing in your presence if you ask me.
