Star Style: The Brits 2010

February 18th, 2010

lady-gaga-britsThe red carpet was rolled out in wet and cold London for the annual Brit Awards 2010. Despite the drab weather conditions the stars flooded through the doors for a night of entertainment and recognition. Lady GaGa picked up 3 awards; while hot UK boy band and X-Factor runners up JLS picked up 2 awards (Best Single and Best British Breakthrough Act) wiping the floor with X-Factor winners Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry

Fantastic performances from a range of talent such as Lily Allen, JLSFlorence & Dizzee, Cheryl Cole and Lady GaGa performed a somber performance remembering the death of close friend Alexander McQueen. The show-stopper of the night was Alicia Keys and Jay-Z’s outstanding performance of Empire State of Mind.  

Now to the fashion… we’ll Lady GaGa didn’t disappoint (not like we believed the rumors) turning up in a white lace face-mask bodysuit, with overcoat and hair described by Radio 1 as ‘white walnut whip’.

The usuall contenders turned up looking very pretty such as Cat Deely, Sugababes and Alesha DixonPixie Lott showed us a more edgy black lace skater dress (hope she’s not going down the Taylor Mosmon route!) Ellie Goulding and Fearne Cotton took it more casual in simpler outfits teamed with stylish heals. Overall, was a good turn out on the fashion front!

February 15th, 2010

Victoria Beckham ditched the pencil skirt and shift dresses and opted for a more casual look for the New York Fashion Week. She wore grey skinny jeans teamed with a logo t-shirt, black blazer and suede boots. This is completely different to what we are used to seeing from queen WAG Vicky B, but it really suits her – maybe it’s time for a makeover!

I actually really like the look, and here’s how you can get it:

Alexander-McqueenToday we heard the terrible news that one of Britain’s best designers Alexander McQueen took his own life. The 40-year-old Alexander was found in his home this morning (Thursday 11th Feb 10) and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Alexander (or Lee as he was known in the industry) started his careers as a trainee tailor in Saville Row, and went on to be named named British designer of the year four times between 1996 and 2003. He then went on to be awarded the CBE, as well as being named International Designer of the Year. 

He had a remarkable career, and we became accustom to seeing is fabulous designs stunning on the catwalk and red-carpet alike. Celebrities such as Sarah Jessica-Parker and Rihanna we’re big fans.

All the celebrities took to the red carpet Monday night at the LA premiere of new film Valentine’s Day. Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel really stole the show in their amazing gowns.  Anne Hathaway wore an amazing feathered short cocktail style dress which showed off her amazing figure. Jessica Biel wore a more classic red-carpet style from designer Oscar de la Renta; a floor length pink layered one shoulder dress which is very on trend with the ‘romantic’ fashions. 

Other celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Demi Moore , Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Alba who wore a fantastic Proenza Schouler Spring 2010 dress.

Cheryl_para_3She is presented in some striking outfits, ideally showing off her fantastic figure. Leather dresses, super short long tail dresses, lace and studs, fingerless gloves, navy style dresses and my favourite pristine white super sexy dress (kinda reminds you of kylies Cant get you out of my head dress).
