Lost MoJo Award
I waited for a while to post Charlize Theron’s red carpet look at the 2010 Oscars in the hope it would grown on me, but unfortunately it didn’t.

I love the silhouette of her Christian Dior Spring 2010 Couture costume-made gown, but I didn’t like the two-tone pink.

The darker pink all over would’ve worked better for me.

The actress paired her gown with a matching Dior clutch and stunning jewels.

Before the Christian Dior Fall 2010 presentation started we saw lightening, heard the crackle of a thunderstorm, plus the stomping hoofs of a horse, which instantly lead me to believe we were going to be treated to jodhpurs, horse riding gear and top hats.

I was right.

John Galliano infused the equestrian theme with light floaty mini dresses and ruffled chiffon gowns which I hope are Oscar bound.

These gowns were everything we’ve come to expect from the house of Dior: romantic and oozing with French femininity. They were sheer showing off the beautiful lingerie underneath.

Or were they lingerie. The line between outwear and underwear becomes finer and finer as Look 4 appears to be lingerie paired with a rich burgundy leather coat.

We saw many other leather pieces which were presented in burgundy, brown, orange. I loved the tan leather pants.

Most celebrities and Rachel Zoe “ooh” and “aah” in the front row at their favourite pieces. Charlize Theron had good poker face, because she gave away nothing.

I guess because she at that point she had already picked out her Oscar gown.

Thigh-high boots were paired with many looks in this presentation, and if they weren’t paired with boots they were paired with thigh-high socks.

Shoeblog.com has a full run down of the footwear from this presentation.

You have to watch Galliano taking his bow at the end. So theatrical as you would expect. Loved his performance as much as the show.

Anna Dello Russo arrived late at the Dior presentation.

After the show started I realised that she was kneeling on the floor to watch the show.

I love her even more now. Fabulous and down to earth. What a great gal.

Ginnifer Goodwin gives us a rare smile at “The Stylist Project” Exhibition in LA last night.

What’s not rare is a cute look from the “Big Love” actress.

The sun it out here in London, which puts me in the mood for a cute summery floaty dress with bare legs and strappy sandals.

I love the floral prints mixed with the purple lace on her Christian Dior Spring 2010 dress.

With her cute pixie cut she paired her look with a bejeweled Dior clutch and black ankle strap heels.

BDOTW suddenly just became very busy.

On Saturday night Marion Cotillard attended the 35th Cesar Film Awards at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.

We have often discussed that the marriage between Marion and Dior is perfect.

Marion looks absolutely beautiful in her Christian Dior Spring 2010 gown, which has been modified from the runway.

The slight issue I have with this look, is that is that it reminds me of the Dior dress she wore to the 2010 Critics Choice Awards.

If we take away the embellished tulle bodice, don’t we have a very similiar dress?

“Gossip Girl” actress Jessica Szohr wore this stunning Christian Dior Spring 2009 floor length gown to the “Costume Institute Gala” in New York last year.

I love the edgy structured leather bodice of this dress, with the contrasting floaty chiffon skirt.

Rumer Willis wore the same dress earlier this year to the “The Art of Elysium’s 3rd Annual Gala Heaven Event” in LA.

I don’t like this dress on Rumer at all, as it does nothing for her body shape, so Jessica wins this for me by default as I don’t think either do justice to this amazing gown.

Red Blooded Woman Award
Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley brought a lot of glamour to the 2010 Elle Style Awards red carpet last night.

She glided down the red carpet giving plenty of sexy face to the paparazzi wearing a stunning red Christian Dior Spring 2010 gown.

You may remember that Amber Heard wore this same belted gown to the Art of Elysiums Gala earlier this year.

I’m not fond of exposed underwear, but this is done in a elegantly sexy way plus I love how Rosie wears the gown slightly off-the-shoulder.

She was one of the best on the night for me, as her look had plenty of wow factor.

Marion Cotillard and Penelope Cruz continue to work the European leg of the promotional tour for their movie “Nine”.

They were in Paris last night, dressed by their favourite designers.

Marion wore a Christian Dior Fall 2009 Couture nude dress with a lace embellished overlay.

The dress had been modified from the runway, but I much prefer the dress as it was presented.

A lot of the charm has been lost for me in Marion’s shorter version, plus I loved the dress belted.

I also really dislike Marion’s styling from the hair to the single gold earring.

For the second time this week Penelope Cruz has blown me away.

She wore a ballet pink floor-length L’Wren Scott Spring 2010 dress with a delicate lace train which was custom-made for the Spanish actress.

My first thought was “thank god it’s not black” as I love seeing Pen wearing colour.

Now the dilmena is which dress should be added to the BDOTW poll.

The Versace or the L’Wren Scott dress?
