  • The Oscars 2009: Beyonce Knowles
    My eyes! Seriously, I’ve lost the will with Beyonce. She has a fantastic figure which somewhat saves her in this dress but the print is tacky and a complete eyesore. I’ve searched high and low to find out who designed this dress and I can only imagine that it’s the House of Dereon. Awful.

  • The Oscars 2009: Sarah Jessica Parker
    Sarah Jessica Parker rarely does any wrong in my eyes fashion wise and the Oscars were no exception. SJP looks fabulous in this strapless, barely mint Dior Couture. She’s notorious for choosing Cinderella-esque gowns so are we surprised by her choice for the night? Hardly!

  • The Oscars 2009: Penelope Cruz
    So as I write this Penelope Cruz just took home the award for Best Supporting Actress. We loved her in Vicky Cristina Barcelona but we’re not sure it was worth an Oscar. Her dress however…now that’s another matter. Her outfit may look similar to SJP’s dress, but the fact that its vintage Balmain gives her double fashion brownie points. Just look at the detail...

  • The Oscars 2009: Angelina Jolie
    Snooze. Snore. Yawn. Yes, we know Angelina is in black yet again. But doesn’t this Elie Saab dress fit her so beautifully? Avoiding platinum, Angie opted for emerald green chandelier earrings to add a touch of colour. She won’t come away with most glamorous on the night, but she won’t be the worst dressed either.

  • The Oscars 2009: Heidi Klum
    Heidi was all about the accessories. Stacked bangles and statement earrings threatened to overshadow her fiery red RM by Roland Mouret gown. Not a fan of the jewels, but the dress and its sexy split is hot. While roaming around NY fashion week, I bumped into Heidi as she was on her way to a show and I can vouch for her beauty. She looks fab in the flesh.

  • The Oscars 2009: Freida Pinto
    Not the greatest look for Freida Pinto which is a shame because she’s pulled it out of the bag for all the award ceremonies leading up to the Oscars. The gorgeous actress opted for a one shouldered, long sleeved royal blue gown by John Galliano. Unfortunately the colour isn’t complimentary and the long sleeve adds too much “frump” to the dress. Such a shame…

  • The Oscars 2009: Taraji P. Henson
    The word is that some people aren’t happy with Taraji P Henson’s ostentatious necklace, but we love it. A simple, clean and fresh look for the actress in a nude gown by Roberto Cavalli. Henson finished the outfit off with a deep red clutch. Our thoughts? A silver box clutch would have been a better choice.

  • The Oscars 2009: Vanessa Hudgens
    We knew someone had to do a hint of floral and had to wear red carpet favourite Marchesa. Vanessa Hudgens did both. While most Hollywood ladies opt for all out bling when they wear Marchesa, Vanessa chose a more toned down black fitted gown, embellished with a floral corsage and complete with a fishtail train. Not sure why, but we could easily picture Penelope Cruz in...

  • The Oscars 2009: Miley Cyrus
    Miley Cyrus was one of the first to be scrutinized on the red carpet. Considering she’s only 16, this sparkly gown by Zuhair Murhad accessorized with a butterfly belt and gold clutch, isn’t a bad choice for the teen starlet. The claws will probably be out on this outfit but this is just one of those dresses that pictures and video footage won’t do any justice....

  • The Brit Awards 2009: A tale of mixed style
    The Brit Awards are always great fun, stylish, witty and nothing will beat James Corden and Matthew Horne dancing in those outfits with Kylie. Perfection. It was a bit of a hit and miss on the dress front, lots of legs on show but some very dodgy accessorising.
