Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Back in August, Zoe Saldana wore this gorgeous Balmain Resort 2012 dress to the ‘Colombiana’ Miami premiere, but we were on the fence about the additional train.

The dress is so hot and sexy on its own that we wished she’d opted for the lookbook version.

Well, in the space of twenty days, two Victoria’s Secret models have worn this gold-embellished Balmain mini dress as it was presented.

Joan Smalls wore it to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after-party at Dream Downtown in New York City earlier this month.

She teamed her dress with silver Alexander Wang Fall 2011 accessories including an Adriel clutch and Fabiana metallic leather sandals.

Usually mixing metals sends a shiver down my spine, but there are enough silver elements in her dress to make this combo work.

Alessandra Ambrosio wore the same dress to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show viewing party which took place in New York City last night.

She accessorized with tame nude slingbacks and a tan Valentino clutch.

Joan wins for me.

Her accessories are far more interesting. Zoe lost points for the train and black sandals, whilst Alessandra lost major points for her uninspiring accessories.

Celebs helped celebrate the opening of the new Michael Kors boutique on Robertson Boulevard in LA yesterday evening in support of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Zoe Saldana: The actress stood out wearing a marigold Michael Kors Spring 2012 fitted dress. Her v-neck dress was teamed with neutral accessories included a Michael Kors Fall 2011 cocoa Quinn snakekskin clutch and Michael Kors Resort 2012 cocoa triple strap sandals.

Minka Kelly: The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ actress donned a fitted Michael Kors Resort 2012 optic white stretch boucle sheath dress with gold leather details. Her favourite nude Brian Atwood pumps completed her look.

Kate Mara: As someone who also owns leopard-print shorts (oh yes I do), I love this look. The actress added a simple white MICHAEL Michael Kors draped tank and a collarless grey leather jacket to her Michael Kors Spring 2012 leopard shorts. Valentino bow-front peep-toes and a Michael Kors Spring 2012 ring lizard envelope clutch added another animal print to her look.

Cat Deeley: The British TV presenter also joined the other stars who opted for a Michael Kors Spring 2012 fatigue dress. Her zip front dress was teamed with knotted sandals, a crocodile leather belt and matching Michael Kors Fall 2011 cocoa crocodile clutch.

Zoe Saldana’s Elie Saab Spring 2012 green goddess gown on the red carpet at the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards was your favourite look of the week.

I was very surprised at the margin considering what amazing competition Zoe had this week. I think this was one of the hardest polls so far this year.

Freida Pinto was my favourite this week.

The actress wore an Antonio Berardi Spring 2012 gown to the premiere of her latest movie, ‘Immortals’.

Her warrior princess look was perfectly themed without being too costumey or cheesy.

Considering how petite she is, Freida pulled of this look magnificently.

Zoe Saldana attended the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight.

Elie Saab dresses are like buses, you wait forever for one and then two come along at once.

Ironically they are both green.

The ‘Colombiana’ actress opted for a Kelly green fully sequined crew neck cap sleeve gown from Elie Saab’s Spring 2012 collection.

The gown is accented with a thin belt but unlike Mrs Martin, Zoe opted not to overwhelm her dazzler with jewels. She simply added a bronze Bottega Veneta clutch.

I knew it would take something special to get Zoe out of her red carpet mini funk, and it had to be the King.

Long live the King.

Who is your green goddess?

Gwynie or Zoe?

‘Rendez Vous with Alber Elbaz’ took place at the Carondelet House in LA on Friday, and many Lanvin-loving ladies attended the fete.

Zoe Saldana donned a Lanvin Resort 2012 dress.

Her fringed colour-block frock was accessorized with an amber-and-crystal statement necklace.

She unnecessarily toughened up her look with black Lanvin Fall 2011 leather platform ankle-strap heels with matching cuffs.

Change the shoes and ditch the cuffs and we have a winning look.

Zoe Saldana joined Camilla Belle in wearing a Gucci Spring 2012 look on the red carpet at the 2011 LACMA Art + Film Gala in LA on Saturday night.

The gorgeous actress donned a black and gold Gucci Spring 2012 dress with a gold chain detail draping down the open back.

Black and gold Gucci double chain ankle strap sandals from the same Spring 2012 collection were teamed with her look.

She finished her look with dramatic eye makeup, a shaggy updo and gold floral drop earrings.

This isn’t one of my favourite looks from Zoe. There were far better looks from this collection that would’ve worked for her.

I’m also not a fan of her makeup.

The whole thing feels very last minute and there’s no sparkle from Zoe which has been lacking from her last few looks.

Red carpet fatigue perhaps?
