When it comes to complementing their hair colour these ladies have hit the nail right on the (red) head.

All you flame haired ladies take note: A green dress is the way to go.

Isla Fisher started this trend when she wore a Monique Lhuillier emerald corset dress to the 2007 Oscars.

Amy Adams must have had a style crush because she copied this look to the 2008 Oscars when she wore a Proenza Schouler gown.

FC picked up on this and awarded her the DeJa Vu Award.

She obviously knew that Isla was on to a good thing.

Julianne Moore is another red head that knows what colours suit her. Twice in September we saw her in this colour and she dazzled us both times.

Even Katherine Hiegl, the honorary red head knew how to work her new hair colour in a Naeem Khan sequined one shoulder dress.

And you all agreed how well she worked this dress in a recent “Who Wore It Better” poll.

I love all these looks and it’s really difficult to choose a favourite.

I think that Nicola Roberts was a complete knock out in her Issa Silk Jersey Gown though.

Oops. We’ve forgot about Marica Cross at the 2005 Emmy’s. Thanks Dana.

What was your favourite look?

What is it with celebs and their ankle boots these days?

Don’t get me wrong, I think their fab. But really, for the red carpet?

Especially when wore with a short dress, these boots do a girl’s legs no favour (take note, Leona and Lo).

Ankle boots make the legs appear shorter than they actually are so opt for something more delicate for optimum height.

Nobody wants to appear to have cankles.

I know that Alexa is adored for her tom-boy style, but I’d love to see her in something more feminine on the red carpet.

I love the rock chick look but there’s a time and a place.

A great pair of ankle boots should be worn with jeans or leggings not a gorgeous dress.

Bring back some glamour and sophistication to the red carpet and leave those ankle boots at home ladies!

We did our best to find some ankle boots for every budget. See what you think.

It seems like celebrities don’t just love Stella McCartney’s clothes, they love her bags as well.

In this case they love her Falabella tote.

The bag looks like it’s made of leather, but as we all know Stella doesn’t work with leather. The tote is instead made from black coated cotton.

The versatile tote has a chain link detail throughout to appeal to someone like Rihanna who likes spikes and chains as embellishments.

It’s the perfect everyday bag which has been carried when dressed down like Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson and Rihanna, or dresses up like Charlize Theron.

This Stella McCartney chain detailed shopper is available to purchase from Matches Fashion.

Tote this about with you whether running errands or enjoying a late lunch to guarantee a deeply chic look.

There is hardly a red carpet event that has taken over the past 6 months without a pair of Brian Atwood heels being worn by an actresses such as January Jones, Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, Kristin Cavallari and Eva Mendes.

Of the vast range of Atwood heels available from the ‘Lola’ to the ‘Wiked’ heels, the heel of choice appears to be the Brian Atwood Maniac heel.

These heels have mostly been worn in black and the gorgeous now sold-out nude colour.

The super sexy Brian Atwood patent heel has a towering heel thanks to the hidden platform, which look jaw-droppingly fabulous paired with basically anything, as the ladies above demonstrate.

Matches.com sell these heels in black and a sexy taupe colour.

Whenever there’s a new ‘It’ bag, Jessica Simpson seems to be all over it.

She’s recently been seen carrying the lust worthy Valentino 360 hobo.

The silver sequined bag maybe a bit OTT for a daytime bag, especially when she paired it on one occasion with a plaid shirt, but the bag is stunning.

The craftsmanship is amazing and I love the sequins throughout.

The bag is accented with Valentino’s signature bow, which seems to act as the bag’s closure.

Valentino bags are often seen on the set of Gossip Girl.

We’ve seen Blake Lively and Hilary Duff carrying the Valentino ‘Spotlight’ tote and the Valentino Petale hobo respectively, now Leighton Meester and Taylor Momsen have both been spotted carrying the 360.

Leighton was spotted carrying a cream floral embroidered Valentino 360, with a bow tie and black leather handles.

Taylor Momsen carried the silver beaded version of the ultra luxe Valentino 360 hobo.

The bag is currently available to purchase in various colours, materials and textures from Valentino.com, Neiman Marcus and Saks.com.

I don’t about you but I’d love the black sequin version.

There’s nothing like a shoe fetish amongst a bunch of celebs, and recently we’ve seen plenty of them putting their best feet forward in Christian Louboutin’s Maggie heels.

Khloe Kardashian was first spotted elevating her style in October, closely followed by Victoria Beckham who stole the limelight at a Laker’s game showing off her new curl ‘do. She wore them again yesterday as she was spotted leaving London’s Heathrow airport.

Tyra Banks caught on saving hers for the glamorous ‘Woman of the Year Awards,’ with Vivica A Fox and Kelly Brook rockin theirs just days ago.

The suede pumps feature a gold-tone lattice toe cap, almond-shaped toe and signature red sole and are available in two melting colour combinations.

We’ve found the lilac/blue ones for you online at Matches – irresistible!

‘Maggie’s’ sparkly sister – the ‘Calypso’ – has also become a fashion favourite.

According to Mr Louboutin, ‘Calypso’ mesmerised Odysseus for 20 years…these shoes were her best kept secret.’

It’s similar in style but the Calypso has a crystal encrusted toe and side panel for the utmost allure.

Michelle Williams, Blake Lively, Estelle and Charlize Theron team theirs with dresses for red carpet looks, whilst Christina Aguilera sharpen a simple black dress-down ensemble.

Which is your favourite?

The Maggie or the Calypso?

Beyonce Knowles is currently in London to perform at the O2 Arena.

It’s not all work and no play, because Beyonce has been seen leaving the Whiskey Mist club most night with hubby Jay-Z.

Looking at what Bey is wearing, it appears she loves more than our famous nightclubs. She loves are British high-street stores, as she’s been seen sporting many pieces from ‘Reiss’, ‘New Look’ and ‘Topshop’.

My favourite look is her ‘Reiss’ white mini dress, which she paired with matching heels. She later added a ‘Reiss’ leather embellished jacket which made her look even hotter.

Can you imagine Bey in ‘New Look’?

Me neither, but that’s were she got her £20 ‘Idol’ grey dress. Not sure about that hat ?!?!?

Her last look has an edgier feel to it as Bey sparkles wearing a sequin vest, paired with Topshop sequin tapered pants.

The Reiss looks are exclusive and won’t be available to the rest of us until February next year, but seeing how fab Bey looks it will be worth the wait.
