Thought I'd start off the year gently, with a look at the first major red carpet event of the season, the People's Choice Awards. Now to be honest, I was pretty much aghast at the selection of frocks on show, and there weren't any that I particularly loved. However, I've picked 3 that I think really worked for the ladies wearing them. Just as difficult was picking the 3 that I didn't think worked - so much choice!! I've actually picked a couple that seem to have made it onto a lot of people's best dressed list. Just shows you how subjective fashion really is. If you agree, disagree, or think I missed the outfit of the night, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
Working It...
Busy Philips in Carven. Busy keeps the shape simple and figure hugging, and lets the colour do all the talking. Simply fabulous.
Vanessa Hudgens in Jenny Packham. Maybe this is a little OTT for the People's choice awards, but the gothic spiderweb style beading is just stunning, and the glitzy black suits the High School Musical star's Deep colouring to a T.
Demi Lovato in Marchesa. Hello, can we say CURVES!? Ok, again perhaps this frock is a little OTT for the People's Choice awards, but all is forgiven when you look like such a knock out! The completely 'it' colour for this season - tangerine in a sorbet hue looks fab with Demi's newly red hair, and the draping of the dress combined with some clever corsetry show off her curves and defined waist.
Not Working...
Jennifer Laurence in Viktor & Rolf. The underwater trend is going to be big for this season, but I think this fish net and waves combo takes it a little to far into costume territory, and Jennifer just doesn't have the quirky style personality to pull it off.
Ashley Green in DKNY. You have to be oh so careful when you combine leather and lace, and this look is just a little off for the usually fabulously dressed Twilight star. I think it's to do with the bottom half of the dress more than anything, the dropped waist on that flippy skirt is doing nothing for her, I can't help thinking it would have looked better as a pencil shape.
Emma Stone in Gucci. Everyone else seems to LOVE this, and I really don't get it. The colours are all wrong for her, and the outfit itself makes her look like a bell boy. I love Emma and think she's super cute, but I really just can't get on board with this outfit.
The Demi outfit is my favourite, she looks a little like Christina Hendricks in that, and that cannot be a bad thing as she is uber stylish... well I think so anyway.
ReplyDeleteLove Christina Hendricks, and there's definitely shades of her in that ensemble!
