Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: February 2010

Lady GaGa made a typically dramatic arrival on the red carpet last night at the 2010 Brit Awards.

The singer wore a white tiered Francesco Scognamiglio custom-made cape with a wig which would make Amy Winehouse beehive look tame by comparison.

Her white lace mask was created by London milliner Philip Treacy.

I’m starting to appreciate GaGa choices, this one isn’t as whacky as previous looks, but I really do like it as it’s so angelic.

The models in Vera Wang’s Fall 2010 presentation all sported Snooki style beehives. Who knew Snooki would start a trend.

The other thing that dawned on me was the familiarity of some of the pieces. Lanvin sprang to mind.

“The Bride Wore Black” was the title of this collection, and she wore a lot of it. There were also touches of petrol blue and ivory.

Wang was inspired by film noir as “a contemporary metaphor for youth, romance, and sophistication.”

The collection had sleek silhouettes, sporting underpinnings and ultra feminine elements which pleased the crowd.

I particularly liked the cute mini dresses especially the ones with the fairy like tulle skirts.

Leona Lewis walked the red carpet at the 2010 Brit Awards with an attitude I’ve never seen from her before and I LOVE it.

It’s about time she brought out the diva.

The singer look PHAT – Pretty Hot And Tempting – wearing silver futuristic William Tempest Spring 2010 asymmetrical one-sleeved mini dress.

I love those bubble gum pink Stella McCartney heels, as they add an unexpected pop of colour to her look.

To be picky I would say she could have done without the cuff, but overall she was the best dressed at this event.

Badgley Mischka’s Fall 2010 presentation was split into two parts – Badgley Mischka and Mark & James.

The first part was heavenly as it was full of gorgeous Oscar worthy gowns and dresses which the duo are well known for.

They included a number of sequined cocktail dresses and gowns, a stand out blue one-shoulder gown and a gold strapless lurex gown.

There was a sharp intake of breathe as Arlenis walked the runway wearing claret and Bordeaux one-shoulder gown which sparkled in the dimly light tent, but the finale nude blush organza peony gown had jaws dropping.

The second part of the presentation was the lower-priced contemporary line Mark Badgley and James Mischka launched last year called ‘Mark & James’.

This collection has Taylor Swift’s name all over it.

It’s younger, it has shorter hemlines and more like what the rest of us will wear every day.

It had a mix of jacquard dresses, liquid leggings, fringed skirts, and there was particular attention paid to shoulders as materials were draped on shoulders of many pieces.

This collection was model-off-duty without being too-cool-for-school like Alexander Wang.

Celebrity guests included Annalynne McCord and Christina Hendricks.

Annalynne wore a cute strapless Badgley Mischka paired with well worn suede booties.

Christina said this was her first show at Fashion Week, which she attended with her mum. Now we know were she got that beautiful red hair from.

Here the finale video, with Christina Hendricks at the end talking about her favourite pieces from the collection.

Last night Lily Allen was one of the many performers at the 2010 Brit Awards in London.

She walked the red carpet sporting an Anna Wintour style bob and a Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 black gown.

The black gown itself is exquisite.

I love the high red embroidered neckline and the jeweled detail on the waist, but this gown is too grand for Lily Allen.

Cate Blanchett and Erin O’Connor would’ve looked so statuesque in this gown, but Lily barely pulls it off.

Sometimes I get the Chanel Lily collabo, but on this occasion it didn’t quite work for me.

Cute bob though.

Celebrity BFFs Thandie Newton and Stella McCartney attended the “Food Inc.” VIP screening in London recently.

Thandie wore a black strapless pencil dress with an embroidered detail on the bodice, whilst sporting an Alexander Wang-inspired side sweeping plait.

I just love her studded clutch.

Gorgeous as always.

Designer Stella McCartney is unsurprisingly the first to wear a look from her own Pre-Fall 2010 collection.

The asymmetrical silk LBD is very simple, but as always Stella gives us that cool attitude which makes this a winning look.

I would’ve love a dash of colour from either lady, but they both look fabulous so all is forgiven.
