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!
