Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Zhang Yuqi In Roberto Cavalli & Monique Lhuillier - Cannes Film Festival Premieres

Zhang Yuqi had another busy night during Cannes Film Festival, giving us two more great looks; both were strapless.

‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ Premiere: Early in the evening, she donned a heavenly Roberto Cavalli white mermaid gown featuring a tiered train and fitted bodice. Sweeping her hair to one side, she completed her look with a gold Sergio Rossi clutch and diamond bracelet.

‘Blind Detective’ Premiere: Later that same evening, the Asian beauty, who is fast becoming my favourite newcomer at this event, wore a Monique Lhuillier gown from the designer’s Resort 2013 collection. The strapless gown has that distinctive print we’ve seen worn by Blake Lively and Naomie Harris. On this occasion she braided her glossy tresses, opting to go hands free and styling her look with dangling gold earrings.

The Cavalli is my favourite here. It’s always a delight to see Cavalli Cannes gowns on the red carpet.

Cannes Best Dressed Day 5

My best dressed from Day 5 of Cannes Film Festival in association with shoecribe.com were Nicole Kidman in L’Wren Scott and Carey Mulligan in Vionnet.

Nicole inspired this Sergio Rossi tri-colour sandal selection because, like her look, these sandals are classic with a contemporary edge, colourful and bold.

I selected a pair of Bally pumps inspired by Carey’s Vionnet gown because they are simple, easy to slip on, elegant and fitting for the black-and-white colour combination.

Celine Dion In Atelier Versace & Madonna - 2013 Billboard Awards

Neither Celine Dion nor Madonna took to the red carpet for the 2013 Billboard Awards; however, both were spotted in the press room following their presenting duties.

Celine Dion: The 45-year-old legendary singer surprised me by wearing a knee-length Atelier Versace Spring 2013 dress. Usually she either wears mini dresses or gowns. It’s rare to see her wearing something in between. Her gold lamé fitted dress with gold metallic inserts was styled with metallic-gold pumps and a gold necklace. I am not a fan of the colour or this length on Celine.

Madonna: While we should be surprised to see a 54-year-old woman wearing a fishnet dress over stockings and suspenders, this is Madonna and the ability for her to shock us ended a long time ago. The rest of her Givenchy custom-made Couture look consisted of a texturized, cropped, and fur-collared bomber jacket and a grommet-embellished wide belt. The most I can say about this get up is: at least she has the figure to wear it.

Billboard Music Awards Best Dressed

Carly Rae Jepsen In Dyanthe - 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Showing off her new red hair, Carly Rae Jepsen took to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards blue carpet on Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The multiple nominee and winner of the Top Digital Song Artist trophy chose a Dyanthe Fall 2012 frock for her big night.

The black mesh design, with strategically placed panels, unfortunately did little to impress, though. Bunching and gathering in some places, it seemed a bit ill-fitting.

And I just wanted to pull off those flimsy side sashes that added nothing but a distracting edge to the look.

The singer paired the see-through dress with metallic-accented Gio Diev platform pumps and Isharya jewels, but a belly button is rarely an accessory I want to see on the red carpet.

Love the lightened-up hair; now if her look had just followed suit.

Stana Katic In Nicholas Oakwell Couture - 2013 Billboard Music Awards
When ‘Castle’ actress Stana Katic took to the blue carpet at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, my first reflection was disco diva.

Then, I thought: Pop star Cheryl Cole definitely has a doppelgänger tonight.

Like Miley Cyrus, the statuesque Stana strutted out our second jumpsuit of the evening in this Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2013 Couture design.

The funky white and metallic embellished suit, featuring a plunging neckline and a silver honeycomb belt, had ‘Saturday Night Fever’ written all over it.

The Canadian star ratcheted up the volume of this retro redux even more with big—very big—blown-out hair and a smokey eye.

It was all bordering on a bit much. But that aside, my favourite part of the look was Stana’s stacks of chunky eye candy, with her statement rings that cluttered both hands.
