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.
