In the People’s Choice Awards Best Dressed poll Hayley Williams may have only received 1% of your votes, but from reading your comments it seems few of you loved the dress as much as I did.

Rebecca has finally solved the mystery as to who designed this dress – Chelsea Rebelle.

Chelsea Rebelle is designed by Sarah Bannon from New Zealand.

Her designs are modern and flirty, whimsical with a dark twist, always focusing on luxurious fabrics and a sleek silhouette.

I love the way Hayley is posing in a similar way to the model, so cute.

I much prefer Hayley’s version with the contrasting bows, which do you prefer?

The People’s Choice Awards held in LA last night.

The ladies wouldn’t have experienced the snow blizzards we are experiencing in the UK and other parts of the world, but they delighted in winter white dresses.

Most kept their looks pure white, but Queen warmed hers up with gold accessories whilst Olivia Wilde and Katie Cassidy’s looks had black accents.

Nicole Kidman didn’t walk the red carpet at last nights People’s Choice Awards.

Maybe she was in a rush to get to her seat, or maybe she wanted to avoid the camera’s knowing many of us would roll our eyes and chuckle at the fact that not only is she wearing L’Wren Scott AGAIN, but kitten heels AGAIN.

I must say I’m really disappointed she didn’t walk the red carpet, because from what I can see from her seated position this looks like a really great look.

The look consisted of a black vest with a lace insert, black pants, and black lace gloves.

Regular heels would have perfected the look.

When it was announced that Queen Latifah would be hosting the People’s Choice Awards for the second year running I was very excited to see what she was going to wear.

She makes great choices like this stunning angelic Edition by Georges Chakra Spring 2010 gown.

The white strapless crepe gown with chiffon draped gathering at front was accented with a gold and silver crystal striped waistband.

Gold accessories perfect this look.

Unfortunately I was only excited about the Chakra look. Her other two looks were a bit bland by her standards.

The one shoulder dress with the Valentino bow front black heels was a cute look, but a host is meant to dazzle and neither of these looks do that.

Best Dressed Award
I’m not going to waste anytime harping on about how much I dislike Jessica Alba, because when it comes to the red carpet for me it’s all about the dress.

And WOW what a dress.

The Antonio Berardi Spring 2010 collection was dubbed as the Megan Fox collection due to all the overtly sexy mini dresses on display, but it was a yummy mummy who did it justice.

Jessica gave Fergie and Cameron Diaz a run for their money in the most enviable legs department in this silver mini dress with a peplum at the waist.

She could have killed this look with a boring pair of heels, but I’m in total lust with her Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 platforms.

Hair, make-up, dress, heels are all totally perfect.

10 out of 10.

Best Clutch Award
One of my Girl Crushes of 2009 Katie Cassidy started the year in perfect style walking the red carpet looking sensational wearing a Talbot Runhof Spring 2010 mini dress.

The short sleeve mother of pearl iridescent cocktail dress has a draped detail at waist and foiled accents at the hem and on one shoulder.

Sporting an Alexander Wang-style messy plait, she completed her look with a gorgeous Judith Leiber package clutch, and champagne satin heels.

“Don’t Stop Believing” Glee Award
Just when I’d given up all hope of ever seeing the Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 collection on the red carpet, Ginnifer Goodwin delighted me by wearing this cute sassy striped number from said collection.

The shoes are a bit plain, but I love the rosette detail on the shoulder and skirt.

I’m glad she didn’t over accesorize this look.

Back To Her Best Award
After a few question moments in both the wardrobe and make-up department, Taraji P. Henson is back to her best in this stunning lilac Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2009 one-shoulder gown.

I love EVERYTHING about this look, especially the make-up which complement her gown.

Best Shoes Award
I’m normally all about the dresses, but I was drooling over Carrie Underwood’s Rock & Republic black strappy heels.

It looks like Carrie has finally said ‘goodbye’ to blingy dresses, because wore a stunning nude Christian Cota Spring 2010 dress with a black cage embroidered overlay.

She’s appears to have also said ‘goodbye’ to the 200lbs of weave she used to sport, opting for a this shorter sleek style which really suits her.

Johnathon Arndt jewels and a Lauren Merkin clutch complete this look.

Best Dressed Teen Award
Whilst I was less than enthused with Teen singer Demi Lovato, I was very impressed with Taylor Swift.

She also wore a Jenny Packham Resort 2010 dress, but she didn’t over accessorize her look.

Simple earrings, a matching bracelet and silver peep-toes complemented her strapless dress which was embellished with crystals.

I Hope She’s Warming Up Award
Diane Kruger looked beautiful on the red carpet wearing a white Herve Leger mini dress with Emilio Pucci cut-out studded sandals and a Bottega Veneta clutch, but I wasn’t blown away.

I’m hoping she’s warming up by starting off slow before she knocks us out at the bigger events.

Best Embellishments Award
Kate Walsh always looks like she’s having fun on the red carpet and this occasion is no different.

The actress looked gorg wearing a vintage 1960s Sarmi sequined dress from Decades Inc with Casadei heels.

Best Hair Award
Sandra Bullock looked amazing wearing a very distinctive gold brocade Vivienne Westwood bustier dress which she paired with nude Brian Atwood “Maniac” Pumps which is are celebs favourite heels.

I’m loving that mahogany colour of her poker straight hair.

Love The Dress Hate The Hair Award
I LOVED Hayley Williams dress.

At first I was convinced it was from Luella as it has the playful girly feel to it, but I unfortunately was wrong.

The voluminous skirt and pretty bows make this dress so beautiful and unique, but I just don’t love her hair.

If she’d had jet black hair, I would have loved the overall look more.

Classic Elegance Award
Whilst most opted for mini cocktail dresses Kathryn Morris glided down the red carpet wearing a Pamella Roland midnight blue satin asymmetrical off the shoulder gown which I simply adore.

I so prefer this colour to black.

Most Improved Award
I wouldn’t normally pay much attention to Niecy Nash on the red carpet but she blew me away in this stunning pink Tadashi Shoji jersey draped one shoulder gown.

One of her finest red carpet moments.

Best LBD Award
Alyson Hannigan’s LBD is super simple, but her Rene Caovilla satin rose accented heels make the overall look interesting plus she’s so damn gorgeous what’s not to love?

Baby Steps Award
I know some of you are still not ready believe Mariah Carey has turned a corner style-wise, but I think she continues to take baby steps in the right direction.

Her Ysa Makino white beaded halter gown with sweetheart neckline is another perfect choice for her.

On The Fence Award
Hmmm…I’m very much on the fence when it comes to Lisa Edelstein’s David Meister gown.

I love the embellished neckline, but I think there’s too much skirt in her skirt.

Worst Dressed Award
Nicole Scherzinger is a beautiful woman, but I really didn’t like her David Meister’s liquid gold halter gown.

The colour suits her skin tone, but the style feels a bit old fashioned.

She would’ve looked amazing in something more contemporary.

Not Going To Be A Popular Choice But…Award
…I didn’t like Olivia Wilde in this Monique Lhuillier dress.

I don’t like the length of the skirt, nor do I like the way her hair is styled.

In many pictures she also looked a bit washed out.

I’m sure many of you will disagree, but I apart from her Sergio Rossi heels I couldn’t find one positive.

Ill-Fitting Award
Kelly Rutherford vintage inspired Jenny Packham Fall gown is beautiful, but it just didn’t like it on her.

It took me a while to figure out why, but it’s the fit plus the hook neckline detail and the lack of support the turns me off.

The gown looks much much better on the runway.

Nice Dress Shame About The OTT Necklace Award
Demi Lovato is wearing a gorgeous blue Jenny Packham strapless ruffled mini dress with a black satin sash tie around her waist, but she over cooked this look with the OTT necklace.

The ruffles were enough details to keep this look interesting, but she takes the focus away from her dress to that garish necklace.

Least Flattering Award
Colbie Caillat’s orange dress either accentuated her broad shoulders, or gave her broaders. Either way her dress paired with a Lauren Merkin’s “Lotte” clutch wasn’t very flattering.
