Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Towards the end of last year, Zhang Ziyi attended the BQ Awards 2012 held in Beijing, China, where she picked up an award.

The beautiful actress once again opted for a dress by her favourite designer, Marc Bouwer.

Her gold sequined Fall 2012 dress with futuristic sculptured sleeves was styled with matching gold YSL ‘Palais’ peep-toes and gold jewels.

Looking effortlessly elegant as always, she completed her look with a simple ponytail and flawless makeup.

WWIB Zhang & Rita Ora

Zhang Ziyi sported a pristine ensemble from Mugler’s Fall 2012 collection on the red carpet back in September while attending a press conference for ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ in Beijing, China.

The petite actress let the edgy look shine by pairing the peplum-adorned dress with sky-high Christian Louboutin ‘Daffodile’ pumps, minimal – yet still shimmering – Cindy Chao jewelry, and a sleek hairstyle. Plus, she really emphasized her tiny waist, using the structure of the dress to her advantage.

Singer Rita Ora donned the same futuristic look back in November while posing on the red carpet for the MOBO Awards in Liverpool, England.

While Rita definitely strikes a stylish chord with her red lips and matching Sergio Rossi clutch, she falls short with her accessory choices. I find that pure white looks tend to feel more sophisticated when paired with silver, so Rita’s flashy gold bangles and Dsquared² heels seem a bit on the distracting side.

Ziyi wins this Mugler mash-up thanks to her understated accoutrements.

We were all in shock, not in a good way, when we saw Cate Blanchett take to the red carpet at the 2012 Helpmann Awards, held in Sydney, Australia last month.

That’s because we found ourselves not liking her Fendi look.

Her LBD with balloon sleeves was styled with equally lacklustre all black accessories.

Zhang Ziyi wore the look a week later to the Dangerous Liasons’ press conference during the 17th Busan Film Festival in South Korea.

The actress totally transformed the look by taking styling inspiration from the runway, adding the peplum corseted belt, textured bolero and Fendi ‘Fendista’ pumps.

This is an easy win for Zhang.

Zhang Ziyi was the runaway winner for best dressed this week.

Many of you have immediately added her to your BDOTY lists; that’s how much you love the Asian beauty in her Marc Bouwer navy blue ruched gown which she styled with Bulgari jewels and a Bulgari bag.

I totally agree with you guys that Zhang Ziyi was the best dressed this week, so I decided to give credit to my second choice, Karolina Kurkova.

The supermodel totally nailed this menswear-inspired Roberto Cavalli look in a chic and sexy way. As I said in the original post, she worked the hell out of this look from H-2-T.

Zhang Ziyi attended the New York Chinese Film Festival, at the Alice Tully Hall in New York City yesterday evening looking as stunning as ever.

The Asian star, who was presented with the ‘Most Outstanding Asian Artist Award’ at the event, wore another Marc Bouwer gown, this time from the designer’s Fall 2012 Couture collection.

Her navy velvet cap-sleeved gown with gathered detailing and a plunging neckline couldn’t be more season appropriate.

She dazzled the crowds with stunning Bulgari jewels and a gold satin Bulgari clutch from the Serpenti collection.

A simple ponytail and a beautiful smile completed her look.

I think this is a BDOTW contender. Do you agree?

Zhang Ziyi attended the Gala Presentation Press Conference for ‘Dangerous Liasons’ during the 17th Busan Film Festival at the Shinsegae Centumcity cultural hall on Friday in South Korea.

Still opting for edgier attire, the actress wore a Fendi Fall 2012 look.

This is the second Fendi look to have hit the red carpet within a week, but this look has a much better overall result.

I think it has a lot to do with the accessorizing.

The Asian beauty added a textured bolero and corseted belt with a peplum to take the LBD from bland to worthy of a second look.

A selection of gold bracelets, a chic updo and Fendi ‘Fendista’ black pumps completed her look.

You may remember that Cate Blanchett wore this same dress last week.
