I’ve been waiting for what feels like forever for someone to wear something from the Prada Fall 2009 collection, since Eva Mendes wore a look from the collection back in March.
Jessica Alba has fulfilled that wish by wearing a red velvet floral dress, but what the lord gives with one hand he takes away with the other and those thick black opaques kinda dull the excitement.

Nicole Kidman has been M.I.A. on the red carpet for a long while.
She returned in her favourite designer wearing a black fitted L’Wren Scott lacquered tweed dress with red peep-toes.
At this point I’m just grateful that the dress is not white.
Remember that rather crazy phase?

The Stella McCartney Resort 2010 collection keeps going strong.
This time Naomi Watts wears a black cropped jacket from said collection with a white shirt and black pants.

Georgina Chapman has been accused by many of you for not shaking things up.
Well this is the 3rd time she has worn something not directly off her runway, which will hopefully please you non-believers.
I think her dress was modified from the purple strapless Marchesa Resort 2010 dress, as it has a very similar shape.
The pops of fuschia pink are cute and sassy.
Stunning as always.
I’ve run out of nice things to say about her.

CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi hosted the event looking gorgeous wearing a Giambattista Valli Fall 2009 peacock print coat/dress.
Why celebrities haven’t worn anything from this stunning collection still baffles me.

Uber models Naomi Campbell and Iman struck a pose together.
Naomi wore an angelic white Azzedine Alaïa dress and Azzedine Alaia python & patent strappy heels, whilst Iman opted for more colour wearing a mustard pencil dress which shows that she’s still got it.

Designer/stylist L’Wren Scott is wearing the same emerald green strapless gown from her Fall 2009 collection, which she gave to her client Nicole Kidman just 3 weeks ago.
Heck, she’s even wearing the same armlet.
L’Wren to her credit, did modify the dress, by removing the embroidered detail on the bust line, but I’m still confused, baffled and bewildered, as to why she would wear the same dress so soon after her client.
Nicole wore this dress whilst backstage during the 44th annual Academy Of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas earlier this month.
L’Wren Scott wore hers when she attended Salma Hayek And Francois-Henry Pinault Wedding In Venice this weekend.
Nicole wins this for me, as I lose a bit of hero worship for Scott.

This will help hammer home the point I was making earlier, about feeling like I always see Nicole Kidman in the same style of dress.
Backstage at the Academy Of Country Music Awards ‘Artist Of The Decade’ event, Nicole Kidman posed with her husband and Taylor Swift wearing a green L’Wren Scott Fall 2009 strapless dress.
This green dress is almost identical in style to the Spring 2009 white dress, but this dress has a leafy embroidery around the bust line, and is longer in length.
We’ve prayed for more colour for Angelina Jolie, a new hairstyle for Claudia Schiffer and Amanda Bynes, now we should hope for a new designer on Nicole Kidman.

Who would have thought Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez would wear the same dress? Not me.
These two actresses couldn’t be more different, but they now have this L’Wren Scott Spring 2009 dress in common.
During Nicole Kidman’s promotion of her movie Australia, she developed quite an obsession with white dresses from L’Wren Scott’s Spring 2009 collection. This dress was one of them.
Jennifer Lopez showed off her enviable curves wearing the same dress to one of Topshop’s many opening parties last week, with Christian Louboutin multi buckle sandals.
Both women wear this dress well, but since I feel I’ve seen this look many times on Nicole, I will give this one to Jennifer.

Best Dressed Award
Carrie Underwood always looks fantastic on the red carpet, but I feel like she deliberately stepped it up a gear for this event.
The ‘hint of pink’ one-shouldered Randi Rahm gown was so beautiful, elegant and so far away from what I expected, that she was my best dressed for this event.

Golden Girl/Hips Don’t Lie Award
Kellie Pickler also opted for a golden gown. She looked outstanding, as she showed off her curves in her gold strapless sequin fish scale Zuhar Murad Haute Couture Spring 2009 gown with dramatic train, whilst carrying a Daniel Swarovski gold clutch.
What an absolute knock out. I am amazed at how smokin’ hot her body looks here.

Best Dressed Teen Award
Taylor Swift also changed gears. I was also expecting a blinged out, metallic, heavily embellished dress from her, but instead we got this gorgeous red hot Angel Sanchez Spring 2009 one-shouldered gown, which she complimented with red lipstick.
My first I thought was the gown needed something to nip in her waist, but on hindsight it would have ruined the sleek line of the gown.
The singer wore her dress with Neil Lane jewels, and a VBH envelope clutch.

2 For 2 Can’t Hate Award
I can’t hate Miley Cyrus’ clay grey Monique Lhullier one-shouldered gown, which was jeweled embellished, but I can really hate the hair.
Yes she is a teen, but side pony’s are not acceptable pass the age of 5.

Most Predictable Award
I love Nicole Kidman for the instant glamour she brings to every event, but I would really love to see her embrace other designers more often.
Again we see her another L’Wren Scott gown, from the designers Fall 2009 collection. The turtle-neck gown, with a cut-out back, and revealing split was a great look for the actress, who was at this event to support her husband.
Oh, did I mention L’Wren Scott is her stylist?

Best Carrie Underwood Impersonation Award
As much as I love Julianne Hough’s gold and bronze beaded v-neck Zuhair Murad gown, I just keep thinking that this is something Carrie Underwood would have worn to this same event maybe 2 years ago.
Gorgeous girl, gorgeous dress, but the de ja vu’s got me thinking mmmm?

Just OK Award
After Jennifer Nettles amazing dress at the Grammy’s this gorgeous lilac plunge-neck gown feels like a safe choice. I would have liked to see her wear something more lively, to go with her fun loving personality.
She looks hot though.

Most Disappointing Award
With all the colour on the red carpet, I am surprised LeAnn Rimes opted for a LBD.
I love the serpent ring and gladiators though.

Best White Gown Award
There were a lot of white gowns on this red carpet, but I particularly loved Jennifer Love Hewitt’s. She wore a white flowing, ethereal Robert Rodriguez halter gown, with a tiered bodice.
I also loved that she wore her hair up.

Best Clutch Award
Miranda Lambert wore a racy red strapless Nicole Miller minidress, but I feel myself more drawn to her gold Mary Norton clutch.

On Trend Award
Martina McBride follows the trend of night wearing a white flowing Badgley Mischka gown. The gown was embellished with embroidered turquoise beads and jewels on her shoulder.

De Ja Vu/Re-Run Award
Marissa Miller should know that re-runs at major events are frowned upon. January Jones wore this very same Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 dress to the Emmy Awards last year.
Next time Marissa, please do your red carpet homework.
