Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: September 2011

Corrine Bailey Rae attended Christian Siriano’s Spring 2012 presentation which was held at The Vault during New York Fashion Week earlier this month.

She looked beautiful wearing an Alice + Olivia colour-block maxi dress with long sleeves and diagonal panels in contrasting black and grey colours.

The singer accessorized with a tan chain strap bag and a thin leather belt.

Soft makeup completed her look.

Estelle wore the same dress in a red and black colour combination when she attended the Us Weekly’s 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers of 2011 event at Penthouse in New York, a few days later.

The singer accessorized her look with a wide black leather belt, a small black clutch, a cuff bracelet and purple pointed-toe platform heels.

She also added a fun pair of gold earrings with black stones and an oversized cocktail ring to her look.

My vote is going to Estelle. I love her bold ensemble and how her red hair and lips complement the dress. I also prefer how she added fun accessories.

You can buy this colour-block Alice + Olivia dress from Bloomingdale’s in black and white or Shopbop.com in red and black.

Sienna Miller attended the Moet & Chandon Etoile Awards in London last night which honoured Mario Testino.

Like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the British actress also wore white…I will guess it was the theme of the night.

Sienna was almost unrecognisable wearing a Christian Dior gown.

Her spaghetti-strap gown with fan-shaped, embellished details is a huge departure from how we are used to seeing her.

I can’t even remember her last red carpet appearance, so this glamorous look is refreshing.

Whilst the gown is spectacular, her makeup is off-putting.

The berry lip isn’t too bad, but the raccoon eyes are shocking.

Inside the venue for the Mary Katrantzou Spring 2012 presentation we were met by a bed of colourful flowers.

It was, of course, a huge indication of what was in store for this collection.

There was no need for coffee before this 9am show as the array of colours was truly awakening for this fatigued fashion crowd.

Lavender, yellow, orange, purple, pink and green flowers bloomed across structured mini dresses with bubble skirts, pant suits, sweaters, pencil skirts and chiffon tops with a flowing trains.

Other than florals, we saw expressive digital print images of flamingos and other birds on body-conscious silhouettes.

The finale halter dress with an asymmetrical hemline was created using Swarovski Elements which looked really heavy, but the model showcased the dress beautifully.

Christian Louboutin provided colourful heels which complemented not only the collection, but the model’s lip colour too.

Blue continues to be a hot lip colour for Spring 2012. Models at Richard Chai Love also sported this bold lip shade.

Once again we see a purposely messy updo hairstyles on the runway, so we won’t be buying any hairbrushes this coming Spring 2012.

Favourites: Tri-colour floral ensemble and printed dress with asymmetrical hemline and crescent bodice

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Anna Dello Russo, Solange Knowels, Cameron Diaz, Minka Kelly, Kelly Rowland, Florence Welch, Fergie, Tilda Swinton, Shala Monroque, Rosamund Pike and Yasmin Le Bon

Drew Barrymore was spotted on Sunday night making her way to Trousdale in West Hollywood, California to attend an Emmys after-party with her boyfriend Will Kopelman.

The actress wore a McQ ‘Moulded Torso’ dress from the Resort 2012 collection.

Her eggplant dress with a psychedelic print was teamed with a Jack Vartanian bracelet, blue suede pumps and black hooped The Dina Collection earrings.

Drew kept the same high ponytail she had worn to the Emmy Awards ceremony earlier that night.

I’ve said it before, but I do love this rich auburn hair colour, especially since she complemented it with dark burgundy lips.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley set the red carpet alight at the Moet & Chandon Etoile Awards, which honoured Mario Testino for his contribution to cultural society, at Park Lane Hotel in London last night.

She was smouldering hot, wearing a Burberry white chiffon gown with a jewelled accent around the waist.

Rosie added a Chopard pendant set necklace with three pear-shaped diamonds and Chopard diamond flower earrings to complement her pleated gown.

The model put her best foot forward to reveal a thigh-high split and Christian Louboutin ‘Supervic crystal’ pumps.

Thankfully her black pumps blended into the black carpet.

Sultry waves and plump red lips made this a truly stunning look.

Christopher Kane’s Spring 2012 collection continued the 60s revival we have witnessed this Fashion fortnight.

Boxy jackets, sweet shift dresses, tailored shorts, midi-skirts, cigarette pants, house coats and mini-skirts were presented, but the real story was the floral prints.

We saw sky-blue floral brocade prints, multi-coloured floral prints and iridescent floral prints.

The red-carpet-ready looks included a collection of crystal-embellished dresses.

Crystals also appeared on tops, shorts and jeans. I expect to see these worn by the editors next season.

The models would’ve been relieved to wear poolside rubber-soled sandals and sporty plimsolls; some were even decorated with crystals.

Anthony Turner gave the models purposely messy updos, whilst Chantecaille applied the right amount of blusher to give each of them a rosy glow.

Front Row: Kanye West (who I was seated behind), Erin O’Connor, Anna Wintour, Jade Parfitt, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Eliza Doolittle, and Samantha Cameron

Favourites: Sky blue floral skirt and white top and satin dress with crystal embellishements
