The London 2012 Closing Ceremony, which took place at the Olympic Stadium yesterday evening, was not only about British culture and music; it was also about fashion.

A selection of our finest and most iconic supermodels took to the stage showcasing British Fashion to its largest-ever global audience.

They were all dressed in pure gold to celebrate Team GB’s 29-gold-medals haul.

From left to right we have Lily Cole wearing an Erdem gold embroidered and lace cocktail dress with gold Charlotte Olympia ankle-strap pumps.

Stella Tennant rocked a Christopher Kane metal mesh and Swarovski crystal pant suit with a rockstar spiked hairdo. One of my favourites of the night.

Karen Elson was more serene wearing a Burberry gold-lace evening dress with a slit which revealed her Jimmy Choo gold ‘Private’ sandals. Read more…

Models @ The CFDA Fashion Awards 2012

The fashion world’s top models flocked to the 2012 CFDA Fashion Awards, held at the Alice Tully Hall in New York City on Monday evening.

Elettra Wiedemann: The model puts her best foot forward wearing a gorgeous burgundy Rachel Roy crepe twist drape dress with cut-out details. She accessorized with a Kotur for Rachel Roy multi-graphic tweed clutch, Lulu Frost jewelry and Rachel Roy ‘Farrah’ leather architectural open toe metal tri-colour sandals. I want to own every piece of this look. She is my favourite on this page.

Dree Hemingway: Her Creatures of The Wind black and gray silk abstract jacquard empire-waist dress teamed with a cropped jacket is also one of my faves. I love that she sticks to her laidback style here. We all know she can go glam when needs be. I just love her Tabitha Simmons for Creatures of The Wind silver boots.

Crystal Renn: I would’ve expected a gown from the striking model, but she opted for a Zac Posen cocktail dress. The Fall 2012 Kiko print lame cocktail dress was styled with black strappy sandals, bright green earrings and silver bracelets.

26.07.11 Who Wore It Better?

Who Wore Gucci Better? Eva Mendes or Karen Elson

Eva Mendes chose to wear this beautiful Gucci silk chiffon dress from the Fall 2011 collection whilst out promoting her movie “Last Night” at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival back in April.

Her scarlet red 70s-inspired chiffon dress features long blouson sleeves and a matching belt to cinch in the waist.

Eva paired the dress with strappy nude Jimmy Choo heels and Van Cleef & Arpels jewels, including gold earrings and two diamond rings.

She wore her hair in flowing waves to complement the vibe of the dress and added a sexy coral lipstick to her look.

Karen Elson wore the same dress to the launch of “Tonight We Tanqueray” in New York recently.

The stunning red-head looked striking in the dress, which she only accessorized with a pair of embellished strappy heels.

Karen also opted for matching red lipstick, which turned the heat up on her look several notches.

Whilst Eva looks amazing in red, I feel the dress is a little too conservative and covered up for sexy, curvy figure.

I love how the dress pops beautifully against Karen’s skin tone and hair colour so my vote is going to her.

You can buy Eva and Karen’s dress from Net-A-Porter.com.

15.07.11 Runway To Red Carpet

Karen Elson In Gucci – “Tonight We Tanqueray” Launch Party

Karen Elson launched “Tonight We Tanqueray” at The Green Building in New York on Wednesday night.

The model/musician wore a Gucci silk chiffon dress from the Fall 2011 collection.

The flame haired beauty wore a red silk chiffon long sleeve dress without the scarf detail.

She opted for anonymous heels to keep the focus on her dress and red smoldering lips.

Red continues to be a favoured red carpet colour for Karen.

You may remember that Eva Mendes wore this dress first back in April.

03.11.10 Runway To Red Carpet

Karen Elson In Marc Jacobs – WWD @ 100 Anniversary Gala

Model Karen Elson is the 3rd gorgeous red head I’m featuring on my blog today following Julianne Moore and Nicola Roberts.

The one thing all these ladies have in common is that they’re not afraid of wearing bright colours. In fact their moto seems to be ‘the brighter the better’.

Karen attended the WWD @ 100 Anniversary Gala in New York City last night wearing a stunning fire engine red Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 dress.

The runway purple would have been amazing on her, but the red is even more electric.

Her satin dress with a draped detail from the bust was accented with velvet red sash to the waist.

The dress is amazing, but the accessories really make this a BDOTW worthy look.

She teamed her dress with Marc Jacobs’ red feathered heels and a Marc Jacobs Black Orchid Pave “The Orchid” clutch in brown on the red with gold hardware.

This is one of my favourite looks so far this week.

You know how I love a lot of colour
