Rihanna rocks the red carpet in an eye-popping dress by Armani!

The 2012 54th annual Grammy awards took place in LA on sunday evening, and as usual the fashion was a massive talking point. Compared to the Bafta’s which took place on the same night where the fashion was unassuming and conservative, the fashion at the Grammys was outlandish, bold and sexy!

Rihanna’s dress was our favourite of the night. The singer looked stunning with her newly dyed blonde hair, and super-toned figure and the barely-there custom made Giorgio Armani dress she wore was heart-stopping. The floor-length gown, was plunging, sideless, backless and split to the knee. She accessorized it with gold jewellery, simple clutch and bags of confidence.

“This is a collaboration between Mr. Armani and myself,” the 23-year-old told E! News’ Ryan Seacrest. “I wanted something a little bit like Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface.” She went on to describe the ensemble as “simple but sexy, and a little gangsta at the same time.”

Rihanna picked up the Grammy award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration yesterday for her 2011 single ‘All Of The Lights’ with rapper Kanye West.

The Bajan singer also performed her Big Top 40 hit ’We Found Love’ before giving a duet performance with Coldplay of their track ’Princess Of China’.

Cheryl Cole NTA Awards Dress At Pinksquid Clothing

Last month Cheryl Cole rocked up the red carpet at the National Television Awards in a naughty-but-nice Versace bodycon dress that thrilled the crowds at the O2 London Arena.

The sexy secretary dress looks smart and demure from the front, but turn around and the backless, strappy style definitely has the X Factor!

If you loved the look, but couldn’t afford the £2200 price tag, you’ll be pleased to know that Pinksquid Clothing have a near identical dress for just £30!

One Shoulder Dress With Corsage at Pinksquid Clothing

In the style of Sex & The City

Available in Coral or Black

Pinksquid Clothing have a fabulous 2011 Spring/Summer dress in the style of Carrie from Sex & The City!

Although Carrie has been the champion of this style dress for a long time now, the one shoulder corsage dress is set to be HOT for Spring/Summer 2011.

Simple, yet sensual, the one shoulder dress has proved popular with designers & celebrities alike, and the 2011 Golden Globes had gorgeous ladies like Megan Fox, Mila Kunis, Christina Hendricks and Lea Michele choosing this style with flowers, ruffles or corsages to complete the look.

Cheryl Cole also appeared on X factor in a fabulous one shoulder ruffle corsage dress recently;

Perfect for proms, weddings and parties this dress, the one shoulder dress is feminine and flattering. The corsage on the Pinksquid Clothing dress is also removable so you can also wear it pinned to a jacket or bag on another day!

SAG Awards 2011 Fashion; Best & Worst Dressed On The Red Carpet

Hot on the heels of the Golden Globes came the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, and despite the cloudy weather in LA, the dresses were dazzling! In fact there were so many gorgeous dresses we found it hard to pick our faves!

The Best Dressed At The SAG Awards

Nudes, blush & pastels really dominated the red carpet and once again prove these romantic palettes are going to be huge for Spring/Summer.

Hilary Swank wowed in an asymmetric Versace number. We love how she’s complimented the dress with loose curls and simple accessories. She looks really confident and relaxed and certainly gives the younger stars a run for their money.

‘Glee’ actress Lea Michele also opted for nude, but added a bit of sparkle to the red carpet in this fabulous embellished Oscar de la Renta gown. The low-neck and hip-hugging cut, prevent the dress from looking anything but simple and we love the Tiffany & Co jewels!

We also adored Angie Harmon’s soft pastel pink Monique Lhuillier dress. This is definitely one of those love it or hate it dresses, but we think the feather skirt and jewelled bodice make her look like a fairytale princess, and we love how she took a gamble on the red carpet rather than playing it safe.

Best actress winner Natalie Portman showed off her baby bump in this soft white gown by Azarro. Whilst the dress was relatively simple she trumped all the other celebs on the accessories front, by draping herself in two million dollars worth of jewellery. Yowzas!

Some stars shunned the soft palettes seen above and really made a statement by adding a bold splash of colour to the red carpet. Instead of the green shades that dominated the Golden Globe Awards however, it was blue and red hues that worked as the stand-out colours for the evening.

Mila Kunis led the way in her Alexander McQueen dress which was by far our favourite dress of the night. The strapless dress was so bold and effused with colour that it even stood out from the red carpet she was standing on. We adore the sweetheart shape of the neckline and the long floaty chiffon fabric. The cinched-in waist is also perfect for her tiny frame and just goes to show petite girls can pull off maxi dresses just as well as tall girls!

Our other favourite dress that added some much needed colour to the event was Sofia Vergara’s cobalt blue wrap-waisted Roberto Cavalli gown. It looks like she’s been poured into the dress and shows off her enviable curves beautifully. She may have lost out to Betty White for her ‘Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor’ but we reckon those boobs should win an award of their own!

The Worst Dressed At The SAG Awards

There weren’t many really awful outfits but we thought a few celebs could have looked better….

Nicole Kidman’s Nina Ricci dress looked way too regal for a red carpet event, and there was a distracting amount of lace and frill going on. Nicole’s style is usually flawless but this just didn’t do a lot for her pale, willowy figure.

Christina Hendricks also failed to impress in this gothic L’Wren Scott dress. It looks more like a dressing gown than a red carpet frock, and she really loses her va-va-voom in it. The severe eye make-up doesn’t help the witchy look either.

We also thought Jennifer Lawrence’s Oscar de la Renta gown was way too bright. The black belt looks too harsh with the hot pink and the black shoes clash horribly as well. There’s just too much going on with the shoulder straps and bow. If the dress had been accessorized differently and without the black this could have looked a lot nicer.

Our least favourite look of the evening came from Winona Ryder in her frothy strapless Alberta Ferretti gown. She doesn’t exactly seem to exude confidence in this get-up & looks like a scared & confused gothic bride. Oh & the 1990’s prom committee want their dress back as well…….

What were your favourite looks from the 17th Annual SAG Awards? Comment Below!

People’s Choice Awards Fashion 2011. Best & Worst Dressed.

So awards season is upon us again (hooray!) and this week it all kicked off with the People’s Choice Awards in LA. As is now usual with Hollywood events, most of the buzz was about the Fashion, and it seems that the Christmas break as has been good for our favourite celebs as nearly all of them looked stunning….

We’ve had a look at who rocked the blue carpet at the Nokia theatre a few nights ago and compiled a list of our favourite dresses of the night. We didn’t really want to be negative as it’s the New Year but there were a few celebs we simply couldn’t ignore for their lack of style so we’ve stuck them in here as well

The Best…..

The Twilight Saga was a massive winner at the awards as usual (Eclipse picked up four gongs in total) and so we had to start off with the gorgeous Kristen Stewart who dazzled in a gold sequinned mini-dress by Reem Acra. Her soft curls, metallic eye shadow and dark lips really complimented the dress- but her best two accessories were of course Taylor Lautner & Robert Pattinson who sat either side of her all night long!

Another star that went for glitzy-glam was Kim Kardashian who wore a beautiful gold dress by Catherine Malandrino. We love Kim Kardashian because she always looks polished and is never afraid to flaunt her curves. This figure hugging dress really suits her frame and looks amazing with that Chanel Clutch and Nude Louboutin shoes. A really feminine look for her!

Kim’s younger sister Khloe also looked stunning in a floor length gown by Alexander McQueen. The beautiful shade of grey really compliments her newly dyed red hair (which we love) and the smouldering eye make-up with peachy cheeks and pastel nails make her look like a Grecian Goddess. Kim & Khloe were at the awards with the rest of the family to pick up the award for ‘Favourite TV Guilty Pleasure’.

‘Favourite Country Artist’ winner Taylor Swift looked angelic in her balletic peach dress by New York Fashion Week designer J.Mendel. She looked lovely as always and we thought the red lipstick and soft up-do gave the dress a grown-up feel to it that made her look less country cutie and more sexy singing siren. We did think she could have done with eating a few more mince pies over Christmas though

At first we couldn’t decide if we liked Jennifer Aniston’s outfit or not. Yes she looks gorgeous, and yes she looks just as young (and probably better!) than she did in her Friends heyday- but as usual she’s wearing black, and her hair and make-up is the same as always. In the end, however, we decided that she looked so confident and happy in her black Dolce & Gabbana ensemble that we really quite liked it and so have added her to our best dressed list. She gets extra marks for that daring neckline and gold accessories. There were reports that she was drunk on stage but we think that’s probably a load of rubbish… Anyway, even if she was- who cares? She looked like she was having fun either way!

A lover of all things bright and fun, Katy Parry wore this frothy, colour-popping Betsey Johnson dress from her S/S 2011 collection. When we first saw this dress on the catwalk we couldn’t have thought of a better person for it! The neon colours and full tulle skirt suit her personality perfectly, and it looks amazing with the Casadei fuchsia satin peep toe heels as well! Katy picked up two trophies for favourite female artist and favourite online sensation.

The Worst…

Mila Kunis is a gorgeous girl, but just looked drab in this khaki strapless J Mendel number. She looked more ugly duckling than black swan (ouch!)….

We love Vanessa Williams and are massive fans of her in Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty, but we didn’t think this Tadashi Shoji dress did her fabulous figure any favours. There was way too much shine going on that just made her look lumpy rather than curvy. We did love the Kimberly McDonald Jewellery on her though!

Raven-Symone stepped onto the blue carpet straight from panto maybe?  Or was she about to go and fight crime?…

The Marmite look of the night….

We figured Leighton Meester’s dress was one that people would either love or hate. It’s a cute & girly dress from the Vionnet Spring 2011 collection. Some of us thought that although lovely, it wasn’t really red-carpet worthy and was more suited for a warm summer’s day at a barbecue….whilst other’s thought Leighton had picked something refreshing, laid back & unpretentious. We’d love to know what you think!
