A reader said that I failed when it came to the BDOTW poll this week.
What that person failed to realize is that August is a quiet month. It always has been for red carpet fashion as celebs are either on vacation or filming their next blockbuster.
Granted there were slim pickings this week, but you chose Chloe Moretz in Christopher Kane as your favourite.
The 14 year old continues to pull off some of the most sophisticated designs with uncanny grace and confidence.
I went for Rihanna in Antonio Berardi.
With so many black and white looks on the red carpet this week, I was relieved to see someone wear some colour on Friday.
It was the perfect end to a quiet week.

Totally agree with you FC, this was my choice too!
RIRI look amazing,cool shoes!!
I agree, Rihanna looks AMAZE in that turquoise! Gorgeous. x
I really don’t get the appeal of Rihanna’s outfit, she looks like the stage version of Sully from Monsters Inc.
LOL
i like it but i see the sully resemblance 
haha…I think people like it because she is the only person who can pull it off. She lets the fashion shine through, as where if anyone else wore it *cough* Lady Gaga *cough* it would look like a costume.
This is a spectacular colour on Rihanna : she looks glowingly beautiful … but yes, she could totally be Sully’s glamorous girlfriend at Halloween.
Someone said you failed…jesus bit harsh! What exactly did you fail at?! love the Kane dress, and its pretty interesting at how Rihanna’s slowly morphing her look to 1980′s style, i love her but she doesnt stay on one look for long, I loved her hair dark and short!
Very harsh I thought, but the comment is in the trash where it belongs.
Disgrace that a reader of your site said this. Obviously some one entirely clueless and doesn’t Respect the hard work and dedication that goes into the site.
Was delighted to see you chose Rihanna, she got my vote too. Loving her new hair colour too
thanks Elaine x
Well just to say I have loved this site for ages and the polls are great, its my daily addiction! thanks!
thank you.
I know many of you enjoy the site, so one mindless comment is water off a ducks back
hopefully this sort of crude behavior is not getting to you because you are responsible for one of the best fashion blogs today and a lot of us love your coverage every week, even during that bleak bdotw poll with just four dresses so long ago
did that person hold you responsible for celebs staying at home ?!
LOL….@ did that person hold you responsible for celebs staying at home
It doesn’t get to me, because I know how much work I put into the site and how I was scrapping for content this week due to the low celeb count x
i personally didn’t notice the lack of looks this week at all and i’m sure many people didn’t either!!! keep up the good work FC
Will do
I loved Rihanna’s look too, so glad she won your vote F.C. – don’t understand how someone could say you failed, people says such strange and ungrateful things sometimes, I’m glad you can look past it…
Agreed @ people says such strange and ungrateful things sometimes
I knew you’d choose Rihanna, and it was my choice as well. It was a breath of fresh air this week
I am sure the person who made that remark reads the Daily Mail on a daily basis as a source of inspiration.
You are doing an amazing job on one of the best fashion blogs on the internet!
Lol…so true.
Have you noticed that they have disabled comments recently?
I’m so hooked to red carpet I’d still come to this site even if I couldn’t leave comments.
Thank you sweetie x
I agree- both of these girls look fabulous! Although I voted for the Marc Jacobs look, I really thought Zoe on Jimmy Kimmel was simply DIVINE. The girl never gets it wrong!
How on earth is it your failure that not many people dressed well this week?! Some people are such whiny idiots.
Always keep your head up high FC! You know you’ve got more love from us (fans of your site!) than any haters out there!
P.S. I check your site thrice daily! First in the morning and last at night
Addicted much? Lol.
Thanks for your support x
I’m sorry but that jumpsuit is the most heinous monstrosity I have witnessed..and I’ve seen some heinous jumpsuits!
Jumpsuit?
Who is wearing a jumpsuit?
Rihanna looks absolutely ridiculous to me. The color is nice, but the rest of the outfit is awful. Thought Chloe looked really chic, though!
Love Riri but this fuzzy outfit is masking her beautiful frame. Adoring Chloe’s look.
My choice for best dressed was Kristen Bell, but Chloë and Rihanna look good too!
I personally thought it was a weak week, but that didn’t have anything to do with you. Just not many people brought it last week.
How can any one say you failed? *shakes head, baffled*
I so appreciate your hard work – and your remarkable grace and restraint in the face of such comments.
That was one of the tame ones.
I find counting to 10 helps
People say nasty things to you FC?
*RAAWWWWRRRR* That makes me mad! I’ve been reading your site everyday for so long now, and you always do a great job. You’re so amazingly thorough, and never mean or catty – I love that in particular about your site and about you! I hope the good comments outweigh the mean ones!
Thanks Clover. Yes the good far outweigh the bad x
you did not fail in any way at all! i always love reading your blog, and you do such a fantastic job appreciated by so many! xxxx
merci xxx
