  • Red Carpet Fashion Round Up | Teen Choice Awards 2014

    I wasn’t planning on doing a round-up of this past weekend’s Teen Choice Awards, but then I saw photos of Taylor Swift on Instagram and one thing lead to another and I ended up scrolling through my entire feed to check up on who was there.

    Check out all my favourites from the night below…

    TCAs14-Taylor-Swift
    Best Dressed Award | Taylor Swift in Novis
    The sole reason I started on my spiral down to hunt down the red carpet photos from the night, Taylor Swift, once again knocked it out of the park for me in this Summer-y Novis two piece. The lady like tweed of the crop top and skirt are given an edgy update thanks to the light green shade, graphic panelling and Taylor colourful accessories. Add this to her now midi-bob cut and pretty pink make up look, and you’ve got a winning formula!

    TCAs14-Chloe-Grace-Moretz
    Top Crop Top Award | Chloe Moretz in Valentino
    Crop tops have become quite the red carpet staple as of late, but I love Chloe’s take on the trend. Sporting a seriously stylish Valentino shorts and jacket combo over the top of her teeny black crop top, this outfit is made for a semi-formal event like the TCAs.

    TCAs14-Shailene-Woodley
    The Ready For The New Season Award | Shailene Woodley in Peter Pilotto
    Whilst many of the attendees opted for looks to match the Cali-sunshine, Shailene Woodley stepped out in something a little darker and more brooding for the event. Shai went for one of her favourite designers, Peter Pilotto, and this ultra graphic tribal print dress, striped with bold Autumn oranges and cool electric blues. This may be a ‘Fall’ ensemble but it was a bold enough choice to stand out from the crowd for me.

    TCAs14-Selena-Gomez-Demi-Lovato
    The Gettin’ Down To Business Award | Selena Gomez in Saint Laurent & Demi Lovato in Elizabetta Franchi
    Now here’s two ladies who look awfully grown up and a million miles away from their former Disney days. Selena and Demi both opted for super sleek and chic looks on the night. Selena suited up in a head-to-toe Saint Laurent ensemble, complete with slicked back ponytail and sharp pointed pumps. Demi debuted her lighter ombre-d bob cut on the night and went for a lighter white, Elizabetta Franchi, mini dress with it’s plunge neckline and subtle paneling it gave off the illusion of a fitted suit jacket.

    TCAs14-Nina-Dobrev
    Metallic Marvel Award | Nina Dobrev in Vionnet
    Nina Dobrev positively shimmered onto the TCA red carpet in this gorgeous metallic two-piece. I’m absolutely taken by the colour combos in this outfit, the pinks, purples and golden shades just mesh so well together. Paired with her smokey eye make-up and messy braid the whole look is quite amazing.

    TCAs14-Lea-Michele
    The Sultry & Summer-y Award | Lea Michele in Fausto Puglisi
    Lea Michele looks like she’s about to party it up poolside in Miami in this sassy little Fausto Puglisi number. The bold graphic design and metallic sandals are literally all she needs to stand out from the TCA crowd. Not to mention she is positively glowing and is definitely rocking the messy bed head hair.

    TCAs14-Jordin-Sparks
    Best Use Of Print Award | Jordin Sparks in Simply Intricate
    Another bright and colourful look from the night, Jordin Sparks brought a little tropical flavour to the event in this Simple Intricate two-piece. Not everyone can pull off a bralet and parachute pants, but gosh am I loving this on her. She paired up the ensemble with simple black sandals and a fresh faced make up look.

    TCAs14-Victoria-Justice
    The Easy-Breezy Boho Award | Victoria Justice in Rebecca Minkoff
    Finally a beautifully laid back look from Victoria Justice. She stepped onto the red carpet in this white lacey number, complete with metallic pumps. I adore how chill this outfit is, especially when paired with her half updo hair and sunkissed make-up. Then there’s her stunning Swarovski clutch with contrasting blue jewels which is the perfect finishing touch!

  • Teen Choice Awards 2012 | Red Carpet Fashion Round Up

    Pretty much the award show of the Summer is the Teen Choice Awards, held in L.A. last Sunday night. It was a barrage of bright colours, beaming sunshine and fresh looks on the purple carpet this year…
    Holland Roden - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - Arrivals
    Glee’s shining star, Lea Michele, definitely caught the eye of many in a glittering Atelier Versace mini. She’s pulled this kind of look off before, but what really made me put her up for Best Dressed was her carefree Summer styling. I love her slightly lighter wavy locks [does this bode a hair change for a Ms Rachel Berry too?] plus her softer make up. For the first time I feel like she isn’t trying too hard to impress and it works. 
    Tied for Best Dressed with Ms Michele is relative newcomer to the red carpet, Holland Roden. I was pleasantly surprised by her vintage inspired look and fell pretty hard for this Alice + Olivia dress. Thought the print is very Autumnal, lighter styling helps keep this Summer event appropriate. 

    Musician Taylor Swift  arrives at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2012 in Universal City, California.Crystal Reed - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - Arrivals
    White is always a popular colour at these shows and can be quite hard to pull off. 
    Taylor Swift takes it on with elegance, as per usual, in a Maria Lucia Hohan chiffon dress. As much as I adore this look, Taylor seems to favouring this style of dress at the moment and it’s giving me major deja vu and even looks a little similar to last year’s TCA look. 
    Another fresh face was Crystal Reed, who took on the white trend in a Marchesa dress. Thank heavens for the shoulder detail, without it the look may have fallen completely flat for me. 
    Selena Gomez - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - Arrivals
    Not everyone went neutral for the event. Both Selena Gomez and Lucy Hale went all out in bright mini dresses. Selena’s pink Dsquared number is certainly event appropriate and definitely fits with her personality. I am, however, left wishing she would just sweep back her hair a little, the Cheryl Cole-esque extensions are not doing any favours.
    I much prefer Lucy’s citrus coloured Wes Gordon look, especially her golden accessories and side swept plait.
    Zooey Deschanel - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - ArrivalsActress Hannah Simone arrives at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2012 in Universal City, California.
    The two female stars of the New Girl were also working the purple carpet. Zooey Deschanel is notorious for her hit and miss looks at events. For me this look is a miss. This is best shot of Zooey I could find and the angle is probably not the most flattering for the dress. Despite this her Monique Lhuillier dress is just a little ill fitting and the accessories are dull.
    Her co-star Hannah Simone on the other hand rocked a Mary Katranzou mini. The print is just amazing here and her styling is great.
    Nina Dobrev - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - Arrivals
    Actress Debby Ryan arrives at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2012 in Universal City, California.
    This year’s TCA’s were great for showcasing a wide variety of looks. Victoria Justice went for a flowing, breezy Gomez Garcia dress, again I love the print here and her styling is very much on point. Nina Dobrev went for a simplistic look in a J.Mendel mini dress with some structural detailing on the skirt and metallic accessories. Hayden Panettiere went for an embellished Zuhair Murad purple mini and matching shoes. I’m a little unsure of whether there was too much matching with this look. Disney teen Debby Ryan wore a geometric print Bibhu Mohapatra dress. I feel like she could’ve done without the sleeves on the dress as this feels a little demure for the TCA’s.
    Chelsea Kane - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - ArrivalsSinger Carly Rae Jepsen arrives at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2012 in Universal City, California.
    It wasn’t just dresses out at the TCA’s, both Chelsea Kane and Carly Rae Jepsen rocked some shorts in the Summer sun. I love Chelsea’s colourful Alice + Olivia shorts paired with a neutral French Connection top and bright blue heels, it’s the perfect Summer ensemble. Carly went for a smarter look in a Lisa Ho jacket and shorts, the print detailing definitely adds some interest to the whole look.
    Demi Lovato - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - Arrivals
    One of the hosts for the event was new X Factor USA judge Demi Lovato. She wore an extravagantly detailed Falguni & Shane Peacock mini dress. While the dress itself is stunning and I do think her shoe choice works here, I can’t deal with her hair here. With such an over the top dress I would’ve preferred her to take a go for a simpler hair do. But I much prefer this look to her one from last year. 
    Actress Ashley Greene arrives at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2012 in Universal City, California.
    Not all of the looks were that impressive at the event. Nikiki Reed really impressed me last year but she almost blended into the background in a Contrarnian New York mini. It looks a little ill fitting at the bust and the whole styling feels too Autumnal for the TCA’s. 
    Disney’s newest starlet Bella Thorne wore an All Saints skirt and top paired with Brian Atwood heels. It’s not terrible but the whole look feels a little too Miley Cyrus circa 2008, I’d like to see her develop her own style on the red carpet in the future. 
    Gwen Stefani - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - ArrivalsGwen Stefani - Teen Choice Awards 2012 - Show
    It wasn’t all about young Hollywood. Gwen Stefani hit the event in head to toe YSL with the rest of No Doubt. I’m a little wary of her red carpet look; I’m all for moving forward with the times but this feels like Gwen’s trying too hard to fit into the new Gaga/Minaj fashion crowd. I much prefer her on stage look, this is the Gwen we know and love right there.
