Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: October 2010

I’m sure I am not the only one who had bookmarked this Haider Ackermann Spring 2011 look for Tilda Swinton.

Instead Janet Jackson wore it last night for the New York Premiere of “For Colored Girls”.

It took me a while to find good picture of Janet, because she looked really bad in all of them, so I had to concede it wasn’t the pictures but Janet herself that was making this look so bad.

The pants are too long, the leather belt sits too high and doesn’t look good over the jacket and why oh why is she wearing a chiffon train with this look?

For an effortless look she totally over complicated it.

I’m heartbroken.

I know many of you aren’t on my ‘love boat’ when it comes to Hilary Swank, but I think she looked stunning again last night at the 14th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala.

The actress wore a beautiful Giorgio Armani Fall 2010 dress which featured in the Fall 2010 ad campaign.

Her one-shoulder embroidered dress was worn with champagne coloured heels and she carried a matching sparkling Judith Leiber clutch.

As much as I love this look, I will admit that something is missing.

Red lippie may have been too obvious and too many jewels would’ve competed with the dazzling dress, so I still can’t figure out what this look might be lacking.

Earring perhaps?

Leighton Meester is the first celebrity to wear look from Elie Saab’s Spring 2011 collection.

In fact this is the first time she’s ever worn Elie Saab on the red carpet much to my delight.

The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress dazzled on the red carpet at the 14th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala wearing an Elie Saab Spring 2011 powder blue tulle cocktail dress with subtle sequin details and a satin ribbon tied into a pretty bow.

She paired her dress with blue suede peep-toe platforms from the same collection and a silver Jimmy Choo Candy acrylic clutch.

Since I’ve been accused of not being able to see past my crushes I need to ask you, is this a BDOTW contender?

You know my answer ;)

Breath-takingly gorgeous from head-to-toe.

Arantxa del Sol looked stunning on the red carpet at the 2010 Telva Awards wearing a pewter lame Carolina Herrera Fall 2010 off-the shoulder gown with a matching clutch.

Model Juncal Rivero blew me away in her Hannibal Laguna red gown. Her knock out figure does total justice to this spectacular asymmetrical dress.

Designer Vicky Martin Berrocal glows in her own creation which is accented with black roses.

Daphne Fernandez my crush from last years event, also wore an Hannibal Laguna.

A beautiful necklace was paired with her black fitted gown.

Cristina Piaget opted for a lot more drama with her Hannibal Laguna look.

Her feathered accented gown was paired with pink heels.

Raquel Sanchez Silva arrived with designer Ana Locking who designed her red lace one-shoulder dress.

I’m much prefer Ana’s colourful self designed dress, which reminds me of McQueen.

Juncal Rivero is my favourite of all these looks.

Kylie Minogue is currently in Mexico to promote her new album “Aphrodite”.

The album which includes the Spanish version of “All The Lovers” was presented to the press at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico City.

Kylie looked gorgeous wearing a David Koma LBD from the Spring 2011 collection.

The last time we saw Kylie wearing a David Koma dress she wore an elaborate zig-zag zipper dress, but this time her LBD was less flamboyant.

It was very sexy with a revealing sheer panel and leather waistband, yet cute with A line mini skirt.

For some reason I’m not liking Kylie’s Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly leopard print pumps, and I think that’s because they look like novelty slippers in this picture.

Kylie Minogue was spotted signing autographs for fans outside Four Seasons Hotel.

She wore yet another Spring 2011 look. This time it was by Marios Schwab.

Her blue dress with lace panels and a lace trim on the hem is nice enough, but it looks a tad too tight on the bust.

YSL pumps complete the look.

Paz Vega looked maravillosa at the 2010 Telva Awards which was held at the Palacio de Cibeles in Madrid, Spain last night.

The Spanish actress wore a breath-taking dress by her favourite designer, Hannibal Laguna.

Paz wears Hannibal Laguna as often as Renee Zellweger wears Carolina Herrera to put it into context.

Her dress with a shimmering embroidered bodice and a ruffled skirt is to-die-for. I’m drooling on my desktop – literally.

I just love the way she paired her dress with red peep-toes. Tres refreshing when black would have been the easiest and most obvious choice.

I’m not a fan of what appears to be home cut bangs, but her dress and heels more than make up for that.

It’s only Tuesday and I can easily make up a BDOTW poll already.

Paz will of course be a worthy contender.

Thank you Hola.com for the runway picture.
