  • Red Carpet Fashion Round Up | People’s Choice Awards 2014

    Time to kick off the 2014 award show season with the 2014 People’s Choice Awards! Held in the Los Angeles Nokia Theatre, this was the event was extra special as it celebrated its 40th anniversary! Here’s some of the most memorable looks of the evening…
    PCA14-Kat-Dennings-Beth-Behrs
    The ‘Ying & Yang Duo’ Award | Kat Dennings & Beth Behrs
    The ladies of the evening and hosts for the event, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, were definitely two of my favourites to walk the red carpet in very opposites attract ensembles. Kat Dennings went for a dark David Meister Signature gown with romantic rose prints. In keeping with the gothic romantic theme she accessorised with a bejewelled headband and her signature red lips. Beth Behrs went for a more minimalist column Guilietta gown, with monochrome accessories. I love the black accent on the gown, which is a nice contrast to the stark white on the rest of the dress.
    PCA14-Alison-Williams
    The ‘Is That Emma Watson’ Award | Alison Williams
    Very much kitted out like Emma Watson’s doppelganger, I had to do a double take with Alison’s look. In an electric blue and white David Koma dress, Alison’s whole look was very much reminiscent of Emma’s usual sport lux style she adopts for events like this, right down to the simple side swept ponytail. I don’t mind though! If there’s anyone to take style inspiration from Emma’s a fabulous candidate! 
    PCA14-Lucy-Hale
    The ‘Love The Dress, Hate The Shoes’ Award | Lucy Hale
    Lucy Hale, added a little colour to the event with a pink and black asymmetric Gabriela Cadena mini. I love the print on the dress and her beauty look is certainly on point, I just really wished she was a little more creative with her footwear. Sure her black pumps are cute, but a hot pink pair of strappy sandals would’ve really made the dress stand out even more!
    PCA14-Adelaide-Kane
    Best Accessories Award | Adelaide Kane
    I don’t think I’ve seen Adelaide Kane on the red carpet before? Nevertheless she made an impression on me this time in a very pretty Rhea Costa dress, with lace cut outs. Though the dress does stand impressively on its own, it’s her choice of turquoise green clutch that turned my head. It’s a little unexpected but I think it’s a lovely little accompaniment to the look. 
    PCA14-Nina-Dobrev
    Sparkling Diamond Award | Nina Dobrev
    Nina Dobrev is always a favourite of mine to look for on the red carpet, and the PCA’s were no exception. She went for a little edgy glamour in a Jenny Packham dress, with a messy plait updo. The dress itself is stunning with an entire side encrusted with sparkling embellishments, which are perfectly accessorised with glittering silver sandals. 
    PCA14-Sara-Barielles
    The ‘Sweet As Apple Pie’ Award | Sara Barielles
    Sara went for a very preppy look for the PCA’s. She looked absolutely adorable in a Jill Stuart collared dress. with Moschino pumps. The whole look was topped off with a cute but subtle black bow in her hair. 
    PCA14-Anna-Faris
    The ‘Thinking Outside Of The Box’ Award | Anna Faris
    Amongst the gowns and dresses stood a fabulous looking Anna Faris. Shunning the red carpet trends, Anna dared to be different in a glittering nude Naeem Khan pantsuit. With her hair in a ponytail, she let her look do the talking!
    PCA14-Britney-Spears

    The ‘Welcome Back To The Fashion Pack’ Award | Britney Spears
    It’s been an on and off ride in terms of red carpet fashion for Britney, but she seems to have gotten back on the satorial track for the PCA’s. In a nude illusion Mikael D mini, Britney let the dress do the talking with matching nude heels and minimal jewellery, she’s also thankfully pulled her hair into a messy semi-updo so we can see the gorgeous appliqué detailing around the shoulders of the dress. Vegas must be having a good effect on her, this is the best she’s looked in ages! 
    PCA14-Sandra-Bullock-Heidi-Klum
    Still On The Fence Award | Sandra Bullock & Heidi Klum
    Two looks I’m not sure about. Sandra Bullock stepped out on the red carpet in this graphic Peter Pilotto dress and Kurt Gieger pointed pumps. I can’t quite decide whether there’s to much going on with the outfit? Maybe a solid colour for the pumps would’ve tied it all together a bit better? And Heidi Klum is always an odd one for me. There’s now doubt the Project Runway host has the confidence to pull of anything, but I can make up my mind on her Georgio Armani gown. The embellishments look a bit all over the place and her plaited up-do, feels a bit OTT for an event like the PCA’s.
    PCA14-Jessica-Alba-Jennifer-Hudson The Simple But Stunning Award | Jessica Alba & Jennifer Hudson
    Both ladies chose simple, bright and white dresses, with minimal accessories. Whilst Jessica went for an all sleek hair and make-up look in a strapless Jason Wu dress, Jennifer channeled a little rock chic with a spiked cropped hairdo and body-con Kaufmanfranco dress. Amongst the cold winter weather we’re having at the moment these looks are wonderfully refreshing.
    PCA14-Naya-RiveraThe ‘Holy Smokes’ Award | Naya Rivera
    First thought that popped into my head after seeing Naya? Woah, hair! Debuting new caramel coloured locks Naya once again rocked the red carpet in coloured blocked Michael Kors gown. She has a new Kardashian-esque glow about her and I love this simple yet sexy ensemble on her.
    PCA14-Allison-Janney-Ming-Na-WenThe Beauty Had No Age Limit Award | Alison Janey & Ming Na Wen
    With young Hollywood usually grabbing the headlines, we sometimes forget there’s actresses like Allison Janney and Ming-Na Wen who come out with looks just as awesome as their younger counterparts! Allison went for a simple LBD, accompanied with classic jewels. Ming-Na was a far cry from her usual stone-cold Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D character, and went for a more romantic look in a ruffled pink mini, with beachy waves.

    What did you think about all of the looks? Did you have any favourites?

    *ps. how are y’all liking the new fashion round up format? Likey? Let me know!

  • People’s Choice Awards 2013 | Red Carpet Round Up

    A new year and a new awards show season. Kicking off into high gear was the 39th Annual People’s Choice Awards. I was particularly impressed by this event, lots of new names standing out from the pack and veteran stars really shining…
    Taylor Swift Ellen Pompeo

    Two favourites! First off my girl Ms Taylor Swift. Hot off the back of an apparent split with a certain Directioner (the whole thing still screams PR stunt), Taylor hit the red carpet in fighting form wearing a white Ralph Lauren gown, with a swept up hairdo and smouldering eyes. Despite her messy personal life, I think she looked amazing here!
    Another favourite at the event was actress Ellen Pompeo. Very rarely seen out at this type of thing, she look amazing-ly ethereal on the red carpet and, like Taylor, wore a gorgeous little-white-dress – this time by Lanvin. The addition of the black belt is perfect to cinch in the gown too.
    Lea Michelle Chloe Moretz
    Bold and bright were the order of the day for these two ladies. Lea Michele repped Glee cast alongside her co-star Chris Colfer at the event in a bubblegum pink Ellie Saab mini with matching heels. She looked super cute with her plaited up do, and it’s just been lovely seeing her have fun with her style recently – trying to get away from the all-black-wardrobe of Ms Rachel Berry, Lea?
    Chloe Moretz positively glowed in a neon yellow Simone Rochas floral dress. This looks great on Chloe, there are very few who can pull off something as bright as this. My only gripe is her shoe choice, a little uninspiring from the ankle down Chloe!
    Emma Watson Jennifer Lawrence
    Two actresses from the biggest franchises in the world were also in attendance. Emma Watson  skipped the nicities and paps, heading straight for her seat, but we got a good glimpse of her in the press room after winning her awards. Emma Watson‘s geometric print, this time a Peter Pilotto. and edgy heels has become somewhat of a signature look when she’s attended these less formal awards shows. Nevertheless she look great! Jennifer Lawrence’s look was my favourite out of the two actresses though, in a subtle shimmering Valentino Couture dress. This may be a bit of a hit or miss look for people, but I personally really like the subtle-y of the hangs here. 
    Kaley Cuoco Melissa Rauch
    Two actresses from The Big Bang Theory and two very different looks. PCA host, Kaley Cuoco wore a pretty pink Christian Siriano dress. It’s very prissy and very princess-y and I’m left thinking this may be more appropriate on one of our young Hollywood stars than Kaley. On the other end of the scale was Melissa Rauch who stood out in a canary yellow Junko Yoshioka gown. It was wonderfully refreshing to see this burst of colour from an actress slowly creeping into people’s fashion conscious.
    Jennifer Aniston Katy Perry
    Not everyone looked as amazing at this event. Jennifer Aniston picked up her ‘Best Comedic Actress’ wearing a leather Christian Dior mini on stage. I do admire Jennifer for giving an edgier look a go, but it just didn’t work here. If you’re going for a dress like this, you’ve got to commit to it and the whole look feels tired and boring. Katy Perry shocked everyone, both forgoing the red carpet and working a very demure look. Again, like Jennifer I admire her for trying something different and maybe this is a new more mature Ms Perry we’re seeing in 2013. But her Valentino dress was, well…a little bland. It’s great she’s toning down the crazy, but what’s wrong with a little fun Katy?
    Julianne Hough Heidi Klum
    Unlike Katy and Jennifer, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Julianne Hough and Heidi Klum‘s looks here. Julianne’s glittering Tony Ward tea dress looked fabulous from her and I love the subtle matching of her shoes. Just proof that you don’t have to bare all to get my attention Hough! Heidi’s red carpet style is a bit of a roller-coaster ride, but she definitely on a high here. Her sleek Julian Macdonald gown was pretty much flawless and gave peeks at her mod-bod. Bravo Heidi!
    Taylor Spreitler Ashley Rickards
    It’s always nice to see some great looks on unfamiliar faces during January awards season. Taylor Spreitler almost gave her name-sake Ms Swift a run for her money in her metallic silver gown, accessorized with a fresh face of make up and fairytale braids. Ashley Rickards wore a lovely embellished Aidan Mattox gown to the event. With her turn in MTV’s Awkward we’ll hopefully see more of this girl in 2013. 
    Nikki Deloach Brittany Snow
    Candy colours are always a favourite, especially with spring arriving soon – hopefully anyway. Nikki Deloach went for a Dilek Halif gown with a bouffant top-knott, and Pitch Perfect actress Brittany Snow wore a Maria Lucia Hohan midi dress. Both very simple yet very glam looks. Rachael Leigh Cook Naomi Watts
    And finally, two dramatic looks from Rachael Leigh Cook and Naomi Watts. I feel like I haven’t seen Rachael in anything since her ‘She’s All That’ days, but she really went for the it in an airy, blue Oliver Tolentino gown, with sparkling silver heels. Very modern-day Cinderella.
    Naomi looked stunning in rather daring Alexander McQueen gown, the whole thing could’ve looked very tacky but I love it!

    What do you guys thinks? Favourite best and worst looks from the PCA’s? What do you think of the kick-starter to the awards season?
