Leona Lewis was one of the many performers at this years Royal Variety Performance.

As is customary after the show, the Prince of Wales goes backstage to greet all of the performers.

Prince Charles met Leona Lewis as she wore a lilac silk chiffon Jenny Packham Spring 2009 gown with multi-coloured beading.

The quiet star looked gorgeous in the gown, and I am sure she radiated in the gown during her performance.

Other performers on the show were Duffy, The Pussycat Dolls, Rihanna and many more. You can see The Royal Variety Performance on Wednesday 17th December at 7.30pm on BBC One.

UK TV & Radio presenter Fearne Cotton, arrived at the BT Digital Music Awards 2008 back in October looking gorgeous wearing a black French Connection lace back dress.

The presenter wore her LBD with black ankle boots, and accessorized with many bangles.


From the front you think just another plain LBD, but the back reveals a sexier side, with a lace panel.

Leona Lewis had a rare night out to let her hair down, when she attended a Glamour magazine party thrown in her honour at the Sanderson Hotel, before heading to the star-studded Agent Provocateur catwalk show in London last month.

The singer also wore the same dress, but with tights -SHOCKER - and vegan boots.

Leona ruins this dress with her visible bra, so Fearne wins this for me.


You can purchase this dress from French Connection for £100.

Diane Kruger looks beautiful in her white asymmetric silk Chanel Resort 2009 gown, but I am missing the wow factor that I usually have when I look at Diane on the red carpet.

Pink goes for animal print again on the red carpet.

The wild print suits her personality, but I just wish that black sash was not ruining the dress. This dress would have been much better strapless.

Leona Lewis loses the black bow, and instead opts for a wavy tresses with a single plait.

I will guess that the singer is not wearing tights under her dove grey gown, which is embellished with beads.

There is so much black on the red carpet lately and I must say I am not a fan of this Gothic romance trend.

Meg Ryan’s dress bores me as nothing going on apart from a few asymmetric lines.

Britney Spears was not the only star to perform at the Bambi Awards in Germany last night.

Leona Lewis also took the the stage to sing her hit single Bleeding Love, and she also picked up the Shooting Star Award at the ceremony.

The British singer sported the same black bow in her hair, she had worn the night before with her Philosophy Fall 2008 mini dress, when performed last night wearing an Alexander McQueen Fall 2008 one-shoulder tulle dress with an asymmetric hem.

I adored this dress when I saw it on the runway, and I am glad Leona did it justice. I particularly like how she wore it off-the-shoulder.

Those of you - like me - who on Leona watch, will note that she is AGAIN wearing tights to perform inside. I will forgive her on this occasion for wearing the dress that I ? so much.

This is the second Who Wore It Better? Poll in a week featuring Leona Lewis wearing the same dress after Ashley Tisdale days after each other.

On Sunday Ashley wore this Philosophy Fall 2008 strapless pink satin dress, with a exposed tulle skirt and a embellished black tulle overlay.

She wore her dress with black pumps, and her hair swept to one side in a low ponytail.

Leona Lewis wore the same dress when she arrived at the Tribute to Bambi 2008 charity event in Germany last night.

The singer wore her dress with a cute black bow in her hair, black tights and black pumps.

Leona’s dress was slight different from Ashley’s in that it had a black sash instead of pink, and Leona also opted out of the tulle embellished overlay, which is what bothered me about Ashley’s dress, so Leona wins this for me.

Ashley Tisdale attended the Melbourne premiere of High School Musical 3: Senior Year recently wearing a black beaded cocktail dress, with an art deco panel from Jenny Packham’s Spring 2009 collection.

The actress wore her dress with black strappy sandals.

Leona Lewis performed and posed in the press room wearing the same dress at the 2008 American Music Awards this weekend in LA.

This cocktail dress looks a lot better without tights. I am surprised for an indoor performance Leona choose to wear tights, so Ashley wins this for me.

Best Rock Chick/Best Dressed Award
Pink stood out the most on the red carpet last night, and I absolutely love the cut of her strapless, curve-hugging Vivienne Westwood Fall 2007 gown, which is covered in sequins to give it a kind of reptile feel.

Her accessories were kept to a minimum, and soft curls help give her that feminine touch.

It was dramatic, bold, daring and perfect for her. It gave her an edge, without making her look too butch.

Best Co-ordination/Best Group Award
Pussycat Dolls all wore pieces from the Christian Siriano Spring 2009 collection.

This is what I mean about looking cohesive. They are not all necessarily wearing the same colours, but they compliment each other so well.

From left to right; Melody Thorton wore a lime green halter-neck dress, with pewter strappy sandals.

My favourite Doll, Jessica Sutta, wore a charcoal grey skirt, with a lime green strapless top and over-the-knee black boots.

Nicole Scherzinger wore a gorgeous strapless grey mini dress with a purple ombre hem. She completed her look with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.

Ashley Roberts also wore a strapless mini, but hers was nude with a black overlay, which she paired with black strappy sandals.

Kimberly Wyatt wore the most colourful dress, and probably the most recognizable since Heidi Klum wore the full length version to the 2008 Emmy’s.

Best Strapless Award
This dress was one of my favourites from the Marchesa Spring 2009 collection.

I did not quite have it earmarked for any particular celebrity, but Miley Cyrus definitely did not spring to mind. Miley wore this dress so well, and she did not pout on the red carpet. A first I think.

It was her 16th birthday at this event, so she no doubt wanted to feel grown up by wearing this Marchesa gold embellished strapless dress with a black draped chiffon overlay.

She completed her look with Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

I know a lot of you will say that this dress is not age appropriate, but I loved it on her.

Nice Dress, Shame About The Earrings Award
Alicia Keys is a vision of pure loveliness in this Armani Privé royal blue one shoulder gown with Swarovski crystal trim, but unfortunately she did not get Best Dressed because I really disliked her earrings.

They are way too much for such an understated gown, but the tikka was a nice touch.

Most Improved Award
OK the lips are still very rouge, but there is no denying that Christina Aguilera was an absolute knock-out on the red carpet last night.

She wore an amazing Elie Saab Fall 2007 Couture gown, which many would say is hard to go wrong with. But this does not apply to Christina, because she is likely to kill any dress with too much make-up, or over posing on the red carpet, but she did neither last night, much to her credit and no doubt resistant.

Her long silver, embellished gown had a looked old Hollywood, which she wore with Stephen Webster earrings and Garrard bracelet and rings.

Best Embellishments Award
Taylor Swift rarely puts a foot wrong on the big occasions, and this was no exception as the country star shone in a Collette Dinnigan Spring 2009 asymmetric embellished silver mini dress.

She completed her look with pewter Christian Louboutin peep-toes.

Best Legs Award
Carrie Ann Inaba showed off her stunning lean legs wearing an Alberto Makali bronze sequined mini dress.

Best White Award
Demi Lovato looked stunning in the white tiered lace Gustavo Cadile dress, with a black sash.

Best Use Of Colour Award
Jordin Sparks shone so brightly in her canary yellow Dolce & Gabbana Pre-Fall 2008 dress, with a contrasting sash.

She completed her look with silver metallic sandals, and those darn red extensions.

Best Brit Award
Whilst Natasha Bedingfield let us Brits down in an ill-fitting suit, Leona Lewis did us proud by walking the red carpet in a mauve sequin and tufted chiffon Jenny Packham dress.

The dress had a butterfly detail on the bodice, which only adds more beauty to this girlie dress, which the singers tends to opt for.

Her silver sandals and Swarovski clutch compliment her dress beautifully.

Best Black/Best At Not Over Doing It Award
Like Christina, Mariah Carey has a tendency to over do it on the big stage, but I think since her marriage to Nick Cannon, the attention seeking, OTT, bum skimming outfits have gone, and a more sophisticated look has emerged.

This black Dolce & Gabbana gown is sexy, without being slutty, which is a fine line Mariah has walked in the past.

The dress gives her an amazing silhouette.

Big, Bold and Beautiful Award
If I told you Queen Latifah was going to wear a stretched metallic dress, you would have struggled to see how it would work, but the Queen does make it work, and how.

She is beyond stunning in her dress, with gorgeous Jimmy Choo pewter shoes to match.

Sexy Siren Award
There is always one who adds a touch of sex appeal to the red carpet, surprisingly it was Sarah Chalke.

The actress took the the red carpet wearing a bust enhancing, corseted Zac Posen Stingray satin dress, that just oozed sex appeal.

She completed her look with Christian Louboutin heels.

Most Shocking Improvement Award
I guess like me you never thought you would see the day that Phoebe Price would end up on any Best Dressed list, but despite the shock, she really does deserve this award.

The dress is surprisingly nice, one tone, not over-the-top, nor garish, not in your face, nor vomit inducing.

It’s actually respectable, but I do not expect this to last.

Someone check Phoebe’s temperature, I think she is coming down with something.

Best Gold Award
Say what you want about Paris Hilton, but she is looking much better these days. And although this dress is the size of a postage stamp, it is the perfect dress for Paris.

The gold chain mail dress compliments her sun-kissed skin perfectly.

Best Shoes Award
Actress Shailene Woodley also wore a grey dress from the Christian Siriano Spring 2009, I loved the layers and the neckline, but more importantly I loved the shoes, with the chiffon ruffled details.
