Best and Worst Dressed at the iHeart Radio Music Festival

The annual iheart radio music festival is a massive annual event that takes place over two days and showcases the most popular music of this year. With performances from Ke$ha, Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Muse and Keith Urban, there was a real mix of talent. Let's check out some of the fashion from the night. 


Best Dressed 

Katy Perry

Back with a new bundle of music and a freshly dark new look, Miss Katy Perry wowed on the red carpet in this floral painting-esque mini dress with 90's style Minnie Mouse buns and dark rouge. I need those heels in my life!

Ke$ha

For Ke$ha, this outfit is extremely conservative for her. Although I'm not too keen on her moss green lace leotard, I love her vampish make-up, leather jacket and flowing blonde curls. Super sexy!

Cher Lloyd

Former X Factor hopeful Cher Lloyd embraced monochrome on the red carpet in these wonderfully skinny drainpipes, gold trainers and white top with sheer panelling. Slightly disappointed she opted for a Hollywood smile though, I kinda liked her old, quirky teeth.

The Kardashian-Jenners

Despite all the drama, Khloé Kardashian and her three sisters attended the iheart radio festival in style, and lots of leather was present! Kylie's jet black hair and leather shirt dress were my favourite look, closely followed by Kendall's textured square cut-out top and leather wrap skirt. Perfection!

Kate Hudson

Actress Kate Hudson looked stunning last week in this slim fit black jumpsuit that hugged her slender figure in all the right places. Leaving her hair in a casual flick and adding a dash of rouge made the tone more sophisticated, and thank god she avoided a camel toe. 
                        


Worst Dressed

Miley Cyrus

Surprise surprise, Miss Miley is on my worst dressed list for this Yeti net monstrosity. Little is left to the imagination and is it just me, or do those nipple covers look more like car headlights?

Kelly Rowland

Autumn might be almost here, but do you really need to wear a jumper on the red carpet Kelly? This jumper looks more primark than Prada, the length is all wrong and who told her over-knee length boots were acceptable. Dreadful!

Robin Thicke 

*CREEP SIREN* ew ew ew. Robin Thicke in leather. The tightness of this outfit caused me to puke in my mouth. Enough said really. 
                               


Britney Spears

I love a bit of Britney, but what was she wearing last week?? It looks as if she stole a guy's blazer, ripped off the sleeves and simply chucked it on over her bra. A no no from me.

Best and Worst Dressed at the Emmys 2013

he Emmy awards represent the most important night for the television industry, and last night was no exception. The creme de la creme of the small screen turned out in Los Angeles for the 65th ceremony, where the notable Breaking Bad won Best Drama. Let's take a quick look at the red carpet action. 

 

Best Dressed
 

Rose Byrne

Bridesmaids actress  Rose Byrne looked fabulous in this pale pink Calvin Klein creation. With her newly bleached blonde hair and sophisticated midriff cut-out, she looked super hot. 
                 From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Sofia Vergara

WOW. How amazing does Sofia look in Vera Wang? Capturing her curvaceous figure in deep red, theModern Family star might have been wearing the same shade as the carpet she was standing on, but she certainly didn't blend in. Finishing her look off with loose curls and some chunky moss green earrings gave her a classic Hollywood image. Blown away. 
                 From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Cat Deeley

Despite Cat Deeley looking ever so slightly out of it at the Emmys after party, I LOVE her black velvet midi dress, with chunky black and gold clutch. 
            From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Tina Fey 

Oh hey Tina Fey! this Narciso Rodrigue piece accentuates the actress' curves perfectly and I love that she went for striking colbalt. I thought her hair could have been improved with pin curls but thumbs up Miss Fey! 
                   From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Vera Farmiga

Elegant is not the word. Vera Farmiga blew me away last night with this floor length sheer and velvet gown with grill-metallic chunky belt. She finishes off her vampish look with a punk quiff, but keeps it super feminine with light make-up. Perfect. 
                 From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Leslie Mann

The timeless Leslie Mann kept to trend in this monchrome creation. Simple and chic, she can do no wrong!
               From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Lena Headey

Although I am slightly fussy when it comes to sheer pieces, this one worn by Lena Headey caught my eye. I love that the print is an unconventional snakeskin and that the split although high, was subtle. 
              From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Kelly Osbourne

Red was definitely a colour that shone last night and I loved the cut of Kelly Osbourne's rouge Grecian gown. Embellished shoulders, a mini clutch and V neckline finish off her look perfectly. 
               From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Kate Mara

American Horror Story star Kate Mara looks fabulous in white. Sheer panelling with a crotchet print, gelled back hair and some part-transparent wedges make for a super chic look. 



Worst Dressed
 

Lena Dunham

Oh wow. I'm wishing I bought this dress for Benicassim, because it's definitely bigger than the TENT I stayed in. This awful creation has an inconsistent floral print that had the potential to be beautiful, but was thwarted by the terrible cut, length and the harsh black-lined finish. 
                From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Zooey Deschanel 

I was really disappointed to see the usually quirky actress Zooey Deschanel in this putrid light blue piece with a bizarre ruffle collection at waist. Eww
            From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Zosia Mamet

Looks like those Girls stars need to switch up their stylists fast. Tie dye is very much suited to t-shirts Zosia and what is this leather half-bra contraption to the front of the piece?! I am baffled. 
                    From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Heidi Klum

High collars are definitely a thing this season, but sequins and shoulder cut-outs really aren't. Klum's figure looks wonderful, but her collar looks as if it's the only thing holding her head to her body. Bizarre. 
                  From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Emily Deschanel

Drab central at the Deschanel household as Zooey's sister also opts for an inspid shade. The lace is extremely cheap looking, the one shoulder look is very much dead Emily, sorry. 
              From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Anna Faris

OH EMM GEEE my eyes hurt. There is yellow, and there is this. Words escape me as to how bad this really is. At least her bleached peroxide hair looks good right? oh wait... 
            From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Amy Poehler

Poehler may think she is a bit of a comedian, but there really is nothing remarkable or funny about her outfit. Perhaps she just wanted to avoid being made fun out of, so decided to cover up? Boring boring boring. Oh, and your jokes are old. 
             From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Allison Williams

Allison Williams' dress belongs in my worst dressed section due to the fact that her dress simply looks unfinished. The cut is too basic, her hair and accessories are unremarkable and I was genuinely underwhelmed. Sorry Allison!

Celebrities We Really Don't Care About Anymore..

Ahh celebrities. They can be role models, campaigners, money makers and talent showcasers. But they can also become attention seekers,limelight-hoggers and  general irritations to society extremely quickly. All of the celebrities below have, at one point or other, held a spot of admiration in our hearts, but their recent behaviour has banished them onto the 'I-couldn't-care-less list'. 

Miley Cyrus

            From wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net
(above: MC makes out with an over-sized baby.. classy)
Need I really go any further in my campaign of 'why we shouldn't care what Miley Cyrus is doing?!'. Her stripping antics are now extremely old, and we all know her behaviour is an  inappropriate example to her young fans. In a bizarre twist, Cyrus spoke with comedian Alan Carr on his chat show this week about being inspired by Britney Spears'  'Slave 4 U' video. I'm not sure about you, but I must have missed the foam finger, hammer licking and full frontal nudity in Brit's video. Sorry Miley but we are tired of you now, there really is no excuse. 


Professor Green and Millie Mackintosh

         From i4.cdnds.net
(above: oh so painfully boring.)
Separately, this pair were half acceptable. Professor Green a slightly successful rapper with a decent first album. Millie Mackintosh a socialite and make-up artist who starred in Made In Chelsea. Together they make up the most irritating Z list couple. The rapper often makes us endure Twitter rants over invasion of privacy resulting in tirades of sexist and extremely offensive messages to followers. His now wife bores us with endless Instagram photos of her skinny legs or her dogs in clothes. YAWN. 


Justin Bieber

              From www.heatworld.com
(above: JB calls THAT a beard apparently)
At the beginning of the year, I think it's fair to say all of us were a little bit sick of hearing about the Bieb's antics while he was on tour. Late arrivals to shows, being topless in arctic temperatures, club rejections and drug links were all in a a day's work for the teen singer. The icying on top of the teeny bopper cake occurred when it was claimed he spat at fans from his Toronto apartment balcony back in July. Although he denied it, pictures of the star were captured by TMZ. These days, the Canadian popstar doesn't have anything particularly worthwhile to do, other than grow what I can only describe as bumfluff. Nice one Biebs, but no-one cares. 

Helen Flanagan 

              From l.yimg.com
Cleavage central as Helen Flanagan posts photo number 32432846328 of herself on Instagram. Miss Flanagan, you might have starred in Coronation Street for a while, and spent a fleeting time in the Australian jungle for a reality television series, but we are a little sick of your unintelligent comments, insensitive posing with weapons and tweeting about being alone, causing yourself to be burgled.


Beyonce

             From skyliving.sky.com
(above: another no make-up selfie where Bey looks flawless. UGH) 
As much as I love Beyonce, I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER for a glimmer of new music. Whilst playing Glastonbury, the megastar was booed for arriving late, and refusing to be filmed. The Single Ladies singer also stepped out in a bob, prompting thousands of women to cut off their barnets just in time for Mrs Carter to stick extensions in days later. She may be a lovely lady, but we need some new music now Bey. Gaga and Katy Perry look set to steal your limelight with their comebacks (at last).

Best and Worst Dressed at the Toronto Film Festival 2013

The Toronto Film Festival or TIFF, held annually in September has drawn a lot of attention this year for it's admirable displays of fashion. Here is my pick of the best and worst dressed A-list bunch. 

 

Best Dressed

Keira Knightley

English rose Keira Knightley stunned in two ways at the Toronto Film Festival this week. She demonstrated her amazing vocal skills in new film Can A Song Save Your Life and she also stepped onto the red carpet in this enchanting piece. I love the rush of purple in this complimenting midi dress and the intricate detail is stunning. 
                    From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Kristen Wiig 

The beautiful Kristen Wiig had my favourite outfit of the bunch as she embraced the monochrome in this intricate black cut-out shirt and Aztec print shorts. Her simple black heels and messy updo complete the outfit perfectly, and she looks so comfy- bonus!
                 From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Julia Roberts

How CUTE is Julia Roberts in Dolce and Gabbana? I love the subtle baroque-style print on the dress and the sleeves look relaxed. Nude heels and a wonderfully loose up do (like Wiig's ) is definitely popular right now. 
                 From fashionbombdaily.com


Felicity Jones 

Chic is not the word. Felicity Jones embodies the word sophisticated in this midnight blue Dior gown. Sleeked back hair with classical charcoal make-up compliment her face and I love her skinny stilettos. Effortless. 
                     From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Marion Cotillard

Miss Cotillard always looks amazing as she demonstrated in Cannes earlier this year and despite a majority of her outfits being on the plain side, I thought this robe-esque piece looked sleek. My favourite element of this outfit however are her shoes. Who knew dogstooth and peachy shades went together? I love how off set the straps are too. Go girl. 
                      From www.becauseiamfabulous.com

 

Emilia Clarke 

WOWZA. This dress oozes summer. How fruity does Emilia Clarke look in this  off-shoulder mustard frock with slight v-plunge? Her dramatic lip colour is breath-taking and slicking that hair back means that nothing detracts from that wonderful dress. 
                From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Saoirse Ronan

I actually loved the visuals that Ronan's dress provided on the red carpet and I definitely think she has nailed a more gothic look with the deep and light purple with a plum matte lip colour. Although I am not a fan of the nude panel on her shoes, I think the outfit is highly unusual and I applaud her for stepping out of the box! 
                   From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Worst Dressed

Juliette Lewis

NO no no! This Wes Gordan disaster does nothing for actress and singer Juliette Lewis. It is too tight around the tummy and she looks incredibly uncomfortable. 


Jessica Chastain

Although I think Jessica Chastain is a fabulous actress, she needs to get a different stylist. Her choice of colours are bizarre against her complection and this baby blue with lace trimmings is no different.  Perhaps opt for a more striking as oppose to inspid colour next time? 
                   From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Daniel Radcliffe

Lordy. What have we here? a disaster if I ever saw one. It seems Daniel Radcliffe's checked shirt has inner checks making it extremely busy, and rolling up the sleeves makes his look far too casual. Whoever told this boy that electric blue trousers are acceptable, needs to be told otherwise. My eyes hurt. 
                       From cdni.condenast.co.uk


Naomie Harris

Sometimes a gown looks more endearing when it is rough around the edges, but Naomie's looks as if a dog has been hacking at it for some time now. Her lip and nail colour may be bang on, but this dress is a no go. 
                   
 



Elizabeth Olsen 


Saved the worst for last here as it seems Elizabeth olsen opted for a 60s carpet look. I'm pretty sure there is a slim figure hiding underneath all that material, but the shapelessness of the dress gives nothing away. Awful colour, awful structure, awful piece
