Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: December 2010

My personal favourite Promotional Tour Star of 2010 was Jennifer Lopez, but you all voted for Sarah Jessica Parker for her amazing run promoting the “Sex And The City 2″ movie.

SJP glowed in Valentino Couture in New York, paid tribute to Alexander McQueen in London and opted for a fruity floral Vivienne Westwood dress in Japan.

Her after party looks and photocall looks were just as beautiful going from Elie Saab to Halston to Alexander McQueen.

I wish the fab four would go on these promotional runs every year, but without the movie which I didn’t care for.

For a short while we thought we’d lost Leighton Meester to the ‘crazy/try hard’ style gods.

At times her red carpet looks felt like she was constantly reminding us that she was not ‘Blair Waldorf’.

Yes, Leighton we always knew you were not the same person.

Once she let that go we could start to enjoy her choices again.

Leighton is all about sexy sophistication and we’ve recently seen her wearing an array of cute cocktail dresses and she even started an overnight menswear trend.

Thankfully her red carpet choices are never boring even though some have been controversial.

I also found it refreshing that she has an enviable shoe collection with very few black pumps and Brian Atwood heels in sight.

They say a picture paints a thousand words, well so does a dress on the red carpet.

Some celebrities made strong statements just by donning a dress or a gown.

Here’s what they said to me.

Kylie Minogue no doubt possessed the best sidewalk style in 2010.

She left her home in London daily dressed in designer clothes, but her choices were practical and never over the top.

Unlike Victoria Beckham she didn’t wear restrictive pencil dresses and unlike Rihanna she didn’t wear looks that were more suitable for a nightclub.

My favourites were her Alexander McQueen animal print coat, her Dolce & Gabbana chic coat, her Richard Nicoll face print dress and her Topshop white dress paired with a Topshop cropped jacket and Zanotti heels.

It took nearly two years, but we finally found a footwear designer to take over from YSL and Christian Louboutin.

Brian Atwood heels dominated the red carpet in 2010.

I truly believe that every red carpet event was graced with the designers popular heels.

The all had their own identifiable names: The Marlo, the Balleto, the Katie Lee, the Dante, the Drama, the Harrison and of course the most popular…

…the Maniac.

The comfortable heels with a hidden platform are a favourite of Katy Perry, Demi Moore and Victoria Beckham.

I wouldn’t be surprise if next season the designer names heels after his famous clients.

Mrs Pinault aka Salma Hayek was given a great responsibility this year to represent the Gucci Group.

Whilst many of the brands didn’t exactly fit her sense of style, she didn’t take the challenge lightly by favouring for the most difficult to pull off brand within the group – Alexander McQueen.

Some pieces worked, others failed quite drastically, but I think as Salma feels her way around the collections a bit more she will find looks which will suit her style rather than wearing looks because she feels she has to.

Personally I think she looked best in Gucci Premiere and YSL.
