Oscar's best dressed 2014

So after a month or so of award season best dressed post here it is the big one, the night all other award ceremony’s lead up to, The Oscars and the star did not disappoint. 

I thought about dressing in my finest for the occasion and enjoy the red carpet really feeling the part, but in all honestly I was in my onsie drinking hot chocolate. At least I was comfy.

I stayed up as late as I could to watch E live from the red carpet I caught a glimpse of some of the big names in tinsel town as they graced the awards. I desperately wanted to stay up and watch the full ceremony but my eyes just didn’t let me.

So here were my favourite picks of the name, I could include so many as there really were some beautiful gowns and dresses but I have narrowed it down to the ones who really stood out to me.
So drum roll please………



Lupita Nyong'o 
First up comes as no surprise she has been on every single one of my best dressed posts recently. 

Lupita has shown up on the red carpet in a beautiful array of colourful dresses and the Oscars was no exception.

 Lupida wore a powder blue dress by Prada. This dress was designed soecidically for Lupita.  When Lupita was interviewed on the red carpet said she choose this colour as it reminded her of her home county stating she ‘wanted to bring a bit of home’ with her, very fitting sentiment I think.

 Lupita said the dress was inspired by the design of a champagne glass filled with bubbles. This colour just looks perfect with her skin tone. I think this dress is perfect for the Oscar's it really reminds me of a fairy tale dress, very Cinderella esq. 

 Also the headband? Ok not everyone will be a fan but I think it looks so pretty and delicate,  it gives her short cut a feminine touch and hint of sparkle. I love that she is having fun with this look. 

Lupita has really been the one to watch on the red carpet she has made sure all eyes are firmly on her with an exquisite selection of dresses; my favourite was the red cape dress and I am sure there are going to be many more fabulous red carpet moments from Lupita. 


Kate Hudson

I adore this Versace gown that Kate wore to the Oscars, I think it was a really red carpet wow moment and has a really old fashioned Hollywood glam feel to it. This dress has everything I love in fashion, cape detail, low back and shoulder pads. In my eyes this dress is perfect and she looks stunning. 

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer hit the red carpet is another beautiful Dior dress, this bold red strapless dress was made especially for Jennifer and it is the perfect style and pick for her. I think the peplum detail gives the structure something extra. I love the back necklace she added to give the whole look a bit of sparkle. I also actually love she had another little tumble on the red carpet, she really is your girl next door and seems so genuine abs down to earth, I am a bit fan of J-law. 

So there is my final best dressed post from this seasons awards, I loved doing this 'best dressed' series it's been really fun doing some more fashion focused posts. 

I would love to know who your best dressed star of the night was. 

Thanks for reading beauts

Baftas Best dressed

I have spent another Sunday watching E live from the red carpet taking note of my best dressed stars of the night, and this time I did not have to stay up till all hours waiting for coverage from the USA, therefore I could go to bed at a reasonable time, but here I am blogging away to all of you, much better then sleeping. 

I won't ramble too long this time so here are my favourite looks of the night.



Lupita Nyong'o

This women can do no wrong her colourful array of gowns have wowed on the red carpet this award season, and she did not disappoint at the Baftas. Lupita looked stunning in this bright green Dior Couture gown. I adore the dramatic train on this dress it looks so elegant and graceful, and by adding coordinated gold metallic accessories it gives this look a stylish finish. Lupita just looks exquisite, this gown fits her like a glove and her makeup looks flawless and glowing. She just looks perfect, and I Lupita is swiftly becoming my favourite red carpet fashionista. 

Amy Adam's 

My next pick of the night is Amy Adams in Victoria Beckham. I am huge fan of the VB range and Mrs Beckhams style in general so it's no wonder this beautiful black ensemble caught my little eye. I love a good collar and the tailoring of this dress looks so glamours yet sophisticated on Amy. I think she just looks fabulous, big fan of this detailed piece. Now if only I could afford a VB dress for my own wardrobe I would be a very happy girl. 


Angelina Jolie 

Angelina shocked and wowed the red carpet stepping out with partner Brad Pitt in matching black tuxedos. Angelina made a daring move swapping a floor length leg baring dress for this open bow tied look and I have to say I think she looks incredible, (and I was always team Jen so this a big statement for moi). I love the tailored shirt look its sophisticated but with a sexy and original twist. Actually I am just going to have to say it.....she looks gorgeous, this is the perfect look on Angelina, they were defintley the best dressed couple to grace the red carpet. 


Samantha Barks 
Samantha Barks looks radiant in this striking vanilla nude Calvin Klien strapless peice. The dress was simple and classic yet stunning and I think by adding a statement necklace she really stood out, she looks impeccable and I love the updo hair and glowing makeup. 

Tanya Burr
Finally I had to add The beauty blogger and YouTube sensation Tanya Burr. There I was scrolling through articles of the dresses of the night when up popped Miss Tanya Burr in this delightful buttercup yellow Coast one shouldered gown and she looks beautiful.  I even did a little excited scream when I saw her, bexause as crazy as it sounds I warch Tanya ob youtube so much feel like I know her and she is a friend, I suppose that is what a YouTube obsession does to you.  This dress looks perfect on her, the colour is ideal shade for her auburn brown locks. she just looks beautiful. 
I think Tanya is such an inspiration it's so amazing to see how hard she has worked to make a name for herself in the beauty world. It's incredible to see someone from the beauty blogging world achieving thier dreams, it really inspires me to keep following mine, who knows maybe one day I might make it to an award show, a girl can dream.  Actually I have another Tanya Burr related post coming your way later this week, can you guess what it's about? 

So that's it my round up of my favourite dresses and looks from the Bafta's this year, I am now sitting patiently waiting for the big Oscar night in two weeks, I have the popcorn ready. 

Thanks for reading lovelies, I would lreally love to hear your thoughts on the Bafta's fashion this year.

Best dressed screen actors guild awards

So last night I was once again glued to  E watching another live from the red carpet swooning at the beautiful fashion. This weeks ceremony was The Screen Actor Guild Awards' or SAGS for short, where the awards are voted for by fellow actors and actresses.

So here is a round up of my favourite dresses and gowns that graced the red carpet. Once again there was such an array of beautiful and exquisite dresses it was hard to pick just a handful but there were definitely a few stand out looks for me. 

  
My favourite look of the night was the beautiful Cate Blanchett. This stunning draped soft pink Givenchy gown looks so elegant and breathe taking on her, I can't even put into words how perfect I think this dress looks on her. Then can I please just take a minute to swoon at her make up and hair, the combination of her simple pretty pink make up and loose low bun is just perfection. 

Next up is Jennifer Lawrence in this stunning Doir glittery navy strapless gown. I think this looks Devine on Jennifer, she looks so graceful and feminine. I think this is a great look on her and I have to say she is swiftly becoming my favourite personality on the red carpet, she comes across so down to earth and isn't afraid to be herself, loving her right now. 

  
Well Lupita Nyong'o has certainly made sure all eyes are on her this red carpet and she is working the carpet like a pro. She wowed the fashion world with her red caped Ralf Lauren dress last week,  and she did not disappoint at the SAG awards with this stunning turquoise Gucci gown. This colour looks amazing on her and she really had the wow factor last night in this bright coloured dress with matching makeup. 

Finally I couldn't forget Sofia Vergara. I think this Donna Karen shimmery strapless and backless sequin dress is the perfect dress for her beautiful curvacious body. I am in love with incredibly sexy dress on her. 

So that's my favourites from the Screen Actors guild awards, next weekend is the Grammies and I cannot wait to see what the stars bull of there wardrobes. 

Thanks for reading lovelies, if you had any favourite looks of the night I would love to hear.

Golden Globes Best Dressed

So the Golden Globes has officially kicked off the award season in style. I am a big movie fan and enjoy nothing more than snuggling down and getting engrossed in a film, whether it be in the comfort of my own home or the big screen at the cinema. When I studied my A-levels my favourite subject was film studies and this was when I first started getting into the award season and ever since I have been hooked. Don't get me wrong I love seeing who has won which awards, but being the fashion lover I am my favourite part is defintley the dresses. I spent most of last night glued to E live on the red carpet oohing and ahhing at the different gowns gliding down the remember carpet. So today I am going to share with you some of my favourite looks from the night, and I hope to keep you updated with my favourites throughout the award season this year.

This look for Lupita Nyong'o was hands down my favourite dress of the night. This stunning Ralph Lauren gown just looked radiant on her. I love the red shade and the added cape detail to the dress really gives it the wow factor. I think she looks amazing and her simple hair style and minimal make up allowed the dress to take centre stage. Lupita definitely stole the show for me at the Golden Globes and was bang on trend. I think Lupida will be one to watch this award season. 



My next favourite look of the evening was Emma Watson. I know there have been a mixed reaction to Emma's outfit but I personally love it. I think this Dior ensemble was a daring choice for the red carpet but I think she pulls it's off perfectly and looks stunning. Emma Watson was my favourite of the night when it came to hair and beauty I think her simple low bun bun went perfectly with the cut out back dress and her pink lip was the perfect shade for her English rose skin tone. I think she looked beautiful and sophisticated. 

 My next pick of the night was Olivia Wilde, in this gorgeous Gucci dress. I think she styled her growing bump beautifully. I think it's very easy to style a bump with a flowing loose dress but I love that she is proudly showing off her baby bump and she really is glowing. I think this shimmery emerald dress also looks divine with her ombré hair. She looks incredible. 

Next up is Sofia Vergara in a Zac Posen full skirt, black satin, voluminous gown. When I think of awards season I think over the top glamourous dresses and to me this look screams award season and I love it. Sofia looks elegant and sophisticated but still with a touch of sex appeal this is my favourite look from Sophia ever. The only down side to this look for me is the over the top green necklace I think a slightly more simple gold statement necklace would have complimented this look beautifully, but seeing as the dress is so pretty, I will let Sofia off. 

Next on the list is the incredibly beautiful Kate Beckinsale in Zuhair Murad. All I can say is....wow she looks incredible in this sparkly number and the detail in this dress is just exquisite. This really is a stunning gown and Kate looks gorgeous.

 Finally from my favourite frocks of the night I had to include a pink number. Maria Menounos looked so pretty and perfect in this pretty pink cap sleeved dress. This dress by Max Azria is a real stunner with the perfect combination of elegance and sexy ness with the subtle sheer cut out sections. 

So that is all my favourite looks of the Golden Globes 2014, there were so many other stunning dresses and it was so hard to pick my favourites, but these were my stand out looks of the evening. I can't wait for the rest if the award ceremony's and will keep you updated with my favourite outfits from the season of glamour. 

I would love to hear if you had any favourite celebrity styles from the Golden Globes. Thanks for reading.
