Red Carpet Fashion Awards

It is strange how we did not get the appeal of the Christian Louboutin ‘Daffodile’ pumps, yet celebrities adored them.

We often referred to them as stripper shoes, but these popular pumps have treaded red carpets around the world and the streets of London, New York and LA.

Stars such as Victoria Beckham, Fan Bingbing and Alicia Keys have used the stacked platform to add a few precious inches to their petite frames.

Even supermodel Heidi Klum opted for the sky-high heels which gave her 5ft 9in frame an extra 6.5 inches.

2012 is set to be an even more electric red carpet than 2011. So who are the ones to watch next year?

Juno Temple: The British actress has a major movie coming out next year: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. This should propel her into becoming a household name and hopefully we will see many amazing red carpet looks from her as she promos this movie. The actress also has three other movies coming out next year: ‘The Brass Teapot’, ‘Small Apartments’ and ‘Jack and Diane’.

Jennifer Lawrence: After awards season, Jennifer Lawrence disappeared from the red carpet. I don’t even recall her promoting ‘X-Men: First Class’ as I was surprised to see her in the movie. Next year she has three movies coming out so we should see her tread the red carpet many times for ‘House at the End of the Street’, ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘The Silver Linings Playbook’.

Rooney Mara: Since the actress has had such a dramatic transformation, and with many more movies within the ‘Dragon Tattoo’ franchise to come, it will be interesting to see how Rooney continues to evolve. Many of you are already tired of her wearing black or white; will she give us some more colour in 2012?

Back in February, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana sent models down the runway decked out in star prints ranging from fitted bustier dresses to floaty maxis.

Who knew that by the summer it would be the hottest trend around, with everyone donning that galactic print on red carpets around the world.

Asian actress Wei Tang was the first to start the obsession during Cannes Film Festival back in May.

Lily Allen and Jessica Alba dressed their baby bumps in the star print, Evan Rachel Wood and Solange opted for star-print pants, and, just this weekend, Helen Mirren (much to your displeasure) wore the now-famous Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 star print dress on the red carpet.

The trend wasn’t just confined to the red carpet, either: magazines around the world caught the fever with supermodels and actresses wearing the Dolce & Gabbana star print in their editorials.

The one thing we admire most about Diane Kruger is that her style is all her own.

She never fails to deliver each time she hits the red carpet.

The German actress is rarely on any ‘Who Wore It Better?’ poll because she makes an effort to stand out from the Hollywood clones.

She continues to be experimental by bringing new designers to the red carpet like Alessandra Rich and No.21, whilst staying true to her favourites, Chanel and Jason Wu.

My personal Diane Kruger highlights this year were her Jason Wu Met Gala dress and short suit.

Miranda Kerr is known to us as a Victoria’s Secret supermodel, but we are now paying greater attention to her street style.

The yummy mummy has that knack, which most models seem to possess, of throwing on a simple everyday look and making it much more exciting than our everyday ensembles.

How does she do it? And with a young baby in toe most of the time.

From running errands, to walks with her family, to making her way to a runway show in Paris, the girl has a penchant for mixing blazers, leather jackets, maxi dresses, cropped pants, skinny jeans, maxi skirts, denim shorts, leather pants and slouchy tops with lustful accessories to create the perfect off-duty street style.

There’s something about Leighton Meester’s feet; they have charisma.

That’s because they were dressed in the most interesting, varied and fashion-forward shoes to tread the red carpet this year.

Not a ‘Trib Too’ or ‘Daffodil’ went near her no doubt well-manicured feet and we love her for that.

Now, if only her and her stylist could educate the rest of Hollywood, I would have one less thing to moan about.
