Best and Worst Dressed at the Oscars 2015

Another year, more amazing gowns...

Best Dressed

Emma Stone

Amongst the 200 Oscars images I scoured through, Emma Stone's dress was my ultimate favourite. A trail of zesty lime green, the heavily embellished gown perfectly suited the actresses complexion.

Keira Knightley

Owning maternity style, the beautiful Keira Knightly stepped out in an exquisite Valentino piece of cascading nude tulle finished with subtle floral detailing. 

Lady Gaga

Queen of pop Lady Gaga re-invented herself on the red carpet with a crisp white gown, princess-like in proportions. Always willing to make a statement, she finished the outfit with fiery red gloves. 

Margot Robbie

We've been in love with her since her breakthrough role in Wolf of Wall Street, as Margot Robbie wore Saint Laurent with pride on Sunday night, accessorising the draped piece with intricate, tasseled jewellery.

Jennifer Lopez

Wowzers! Covered in cappuccino-coloured tulle, this Ellie Saab gown is stunning. Jennifer Lopez, what a great choice! 

Rita Ora 

I adore Rita Ora's style, and this silky midnight blue Marchesa gown is no exception. The fish tale element accentuated her figure and the dress was finished with pretty dustings of gold. 

Sienna Miller

What a Queen. How AH-Mazing does Sienna Miller look in Oscar De La Renta? Those cheekbones.

Rosamund Pike

Opting for a fiery red, actress Rosamund Pike might have chosen to wear the same colour as the carpet, but she did far from blend in. I loved this piece and with a simple up do and subtle, strappy stilettos, all attention was on her gown.

Tegan Quin & Sara Quin

Proving that the red carpet isn't all about embellished frocks, Tegan and Sara got extra androgyny points for their masculine ensembles. Loving that slicked-back hair ladies!  

Eddie Redmayne & Hannah Bagshawe

How CUTE were Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe? In matching midnight blue, I loved Bagshawe's feathered belt and skull details on her dress. 

Cate Blanchett

On it's own, this dress may have been dull, but Blanchett cleverly teamed it with a chunky teal necklace. Exquisite. 

Worst Dressed

Kelly Osbourne

Ugh. When is Kelly Osbourne going to stop making 'goth' happen? Her dress was unflattering and her pastel hair looks more Dot Cotton than Dolce & Gabbana. 

Chloe Moretz

Oh lordy, Chloe Moretz looks as if she stepped out a period drama, but not in the good way. The faded florals are drab, and for such a skinny lady, the thick waist is unflattering. 

Chrissy Teigen

Wow, I think All of Me hates this dress. Mrs Legend donned a rather been-there-done-that design in duck egg blue. 

Naomi Watts

Miss Watts' meagre attempt to look edgy in Armani failed with the gown's bandeau-esque attachment underneath. Yuck!

Nicole Kidman

Although I love all things iridescent, Nicole Kidman's outfit fell flat for me - the red belt and chunky bag seemed out of place. 

Karolina Kurkova

How dull can dusky pink get? Kurkova's choice was shapeless and lacked any character, a no-go for me. 

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Hawke 

Is it just me, or do these guys look super awks?!

Adam Levine & Behati Prinsloo

Does it look a little like i'm picking on couples here? Oh well.. Adam Levine didn't stop with his PDA's on the Oscars red carpet, and Behati's red embellished gown fell flat for me. The 'do did nothing to flatter her ears either..

Keira Knightley is Pregnant With Her First Child!

STOP THE PRESS.

I'm unnaturally excited at the news that English rose Keira Knightley is pregnant with her first child!

At the Independent Film Awards

Rumours were rife recently, but were rekindled when the star wore a rather loose fitting, but rather exquisite dress to the Moet British Independent Film Awards. This news is like, more compelling than Christmas (yeah I said it).

Ever the reliable source *rolls eyes*, Page Six confirmed that the 29-year-old who is married to James Righton is definitely with child. Okay so I'm relying on sketchy sources, but come on guys! The site claimed the Pride and Prejudice actress is more than three months pregnant and that it was a happy surprise for the pair.

LOOK AT DEM *AW*

"Keira and James are thrilled. This wasn’t planned, but that is how they wanted it. Keira and her stylist have been putting together looks that hide her growing bump."

She has just finished filming Everest and is expected to take a break from acting when her bouncing baby arrives. Fear not Keira fans, the star revealed she has no plans to quit anytime soon as the stay-at-home mother role isn't right for her. 

Keira is so cool, she wore shades to her own wedding. 

She said:  "Would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at."

Congrats Keira and James! 

Best and Worst Dressed at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival

From 16-26th of January, stars from around the world flooded to the state of Utah to celebrate and take part in the Sundance Film Festival which showcased premieres such as Laggies starring Keira Knightley and Chloé Moretz, Wish I Was Here with Zach Braff and the classic Bottle Rocket with Owen Wilson. As the festival draws to a close let's take a look at the best and worst dressed from the last ten days. 

Best Dressed

Rooney Mara
Balenciaga looked amazing on the quirky Rooney Mara as she teamed her cropped navy sweater that possessed a wonderful crotchet detail on the sleeves with some skinny cigarette trousers. Combining this with a messy up-do completed her look perfectly- effortlessly chic. 

Brit Marling
I loved the unique elements of this Christopher Kane creation, as it was made clear at Sundance that sweaters are well and truly in. Marling's metallic composition began with her beige sweater that provided the perfect canvas for the iridescent scientific diagram of the anatomy of a flower, an image that is repeated multiple times on her nude midi skirt. Her look is perfectly concluded with a pair of silver pumps. 

Keira Knightley
English rose Keira Knightley never fails to wow on the red carpet and even in a casual grey jumper she turned heads. Choosing Valentino, she pulled in the slate sweatshirt with a skinny black belt and teamed it with a sheer floral print skirt. 

Miroslava Duma
By far my favourite look overall, Miroslava brought pure glamour to Sundance in Louis Vuitton with a black sheer crop top, intricately embellished jacket and feather-trimmed skirt. 

Anna Kendrick
Despite the fact that I thought Kendrick came too casual for the festival, I was a fan of her Markus Lupfer jewel print bodycon dress which she combined with smart black shoes and some loose curls. I still believe tights should be banned from the red carpet though!

Harry Styles

The most stylish member of One Direction popped over to Utah this week as he attended some of the events in what can only be described as shabby chic. His smart navy jacket juxtaposed his stylish ripped jeans, skinny spotted tie and Jack Sparrow-esque headband. 

Elizabeth Banks
Ralph Lauren's timeless shift dress complimented actress Elizabeth Banks perfectly. Three quarter length sleeves and a high, elegant neckline make for a sophisticated, but stylish look. 

Worst Dressed

Brit Marling
Despite Marling's style successes as demonstrated above, she made a wrong move when she chose this Proenza Schouler piece. The cut of the oversized trousers do nothing for her figure and the harsh brush-stroke lines on the outfit looked haggered and worn. 

Diane Kruger
Although Kruger looked smart, I was hoping for something more glamorous than a Ports 1961 piece. The beige coat swamped the petite star and her lack of make-up and excessive tweed almost left her on the manly side. Sorry Diane!

Elle Fanning
Where was the effort in this Louis Vuitton outfit? They say black is slimming but this is a little too excessive. Her scraped back hair is too harsh on her face and the boot-cut in her trousers consume her otherwise attractive shoes. 

Zoe Saldana
Oh my, what do you get when you combine Michael Kors with a Tony Burch shirt? a disaster. I really wasn't keen on this cropped jumper that revealed an un-tucked shirt. More naughty schoolboy than stylish chic, I thought this outfit was lazily put together. 

Kristen Stewart

She went through a period where she actually made effort for red carpet events, but it seems K-Stew is back to her brooding bomber jacket phase as she casually waltzed into events with her signature messy do and dirty tee. Sighhhh

Anne Hathaway

Actress Anne Hathaway looked distinctively manly this week as even though her emerald green suit complimented her to a high degree, the military boots and loose black v-neck top spoiled it. Swapping these for some subtle stilettos and a white tee would no doubt ameliorate the outfit.

  

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
