Best and Worst Dressed at Coachella- Weekend One

Year upon year, I DIE of jealousy as I flick through the images of stunningly beautiful and stupidly thin celebs as they soak up the sun, top up their tans, attend pool parties, drink themselves silly and most importantly listen to the music at Coachella's annual festival. This year turned me just as green with envy, and here's my pick of the best and worst dressed throughout last weekend. If anyone fancies taking me to Coachella next year, I'm free?! (jus' sayin) 

Best Dressed

Kendall Jenner
oh man, girl crush alert. I love this black lace outfit Kardashian sister Kendall Jenner wore last weekend. Dark boho at it's best, I loved her facial jewellery too. Can I have a lick of yo' ice lolly? 



Katy Perry (and Alexander Wang)
So 3-D glasses are now an accessory?! I'm in. Katy Perry looks effortlessly cool with Alexander Wang (squeal!) as she combined sporty chic in this black ensemble with some fab green dip-dye. Love you Katy!



Selena Gomez
Lace, lace everywhere and I love it! Selena was hanging around buds Kendall and Kylie at the festival and stood out in her beautifully embroidered lace dress with shorts and crop top underneath. Combining the look with a floppy hat completes the perfect festival look. I tip my own hat to you Miss Gomez. 

Poppy Delevingne
If anyone would have been happy this weekend it would have been Poppy Delevingne (middle)as she celebrated both her engagement, and the fact that she is generally fabulous. Killer bod plus black two-piece plus embarassingly tropical sunglasses equals pure joy. Go Poppy!



Emma Roberts
Actress Emma Roberts won the award for most exciting vest at Coachella- I love this banana ribcage-esque tee with classic denim hot pants and some oversized sunnies. Does Evan come with the outfit, because I'm totally going to buy it if he does... 






Worst Dressed

Laura Whitmore
Is that Pixie Lott?! oh no wait it's just Laura Whitmore. This look has been done before, and this outfit almost lulled me to sleep. Lace is fun, but not on a cream shirt and those patterned shorts are dire. Killer pins though, wowza.


Emmy Rossum
There's boho chic, then there's parachute. I'm not keen on this semi-sheer blue maxi dress and I felt the white floral headband was a bit much, I totally thought we got rid of them last year?! Soz Emmy. 



Hilary Duff
No nooooo, how are boots and shorts acceptable, I could have sworn these celebs had stylists? The scarf totally contradicts the shorts and those insipid heeled boots do nothing for the outfit. Step away everyone, it's a lost cause.



Katy Perry
It's always annoying when sunburnt skin ruins an outfit, and unfortunately for Katy, just that happened.Her rag, I mean, two piece clashed with her pink hue and the double split in her skirt is pretty unflattering. What happened Katy?!

Ellie Goulding
Bondage springs to mind. Is Ellie Goulding wearing a seatbelt or is this some kind of joke? I don't know about you but I would totally pull down that awkward zip on her shorts down, just for giggles.

Best and Worst Dressed at the MTV Movie Awards 2014


Best Dressed: 
Nicki Minaj
There really is nothing that beats a little black dress, and Nicki Minaj looked stunning in Alexanda McQueen at the weekend. Teaming the piece with minimal make-up, side swept hair with Hollywood curls and some gold accessories, she shone. 




Iggy Azalea 
 The daring pieces are always my favourite, and I loved the geometric shapes to this white John Galliano gown with sheer elements. Chunky futuristic perspex-look heels complete with thick black front bar juxtaposed her crimped 90's look ponytail. Fierce!



Rita Ora 
Another lady to opt for black, Ora left Coachella behind to don this Barbara Casasola piece. She combined the demure length with a plunging neckline, thick curls and rouge. Fabulous. 

Shailene Woodley
I am really feeling Game of Thrones with this Balmain outfit as moving away from the contemporary black leather, this cement green dress compliments Woodley in all the right places. Her highly detailed black heels and minimal make-up and jewellery do nothing to detract from this charming outfit. 


Rihanna
Famous for not wearing an awful lot, Riri entered the red carpet in nightwear it seems... but it really worked. The pale pink gown was warn with matching stilettos and baby pink corset. Super sexy or what. 



Lupita Nyong'o
Karl Lagerfeld did well as new actress on the block Lupita Nyong'O demonstrated this weekend. The multicoloured layers are stunning, she truly injected colour into the night and I loved her choice of bright blue heels to accompany it. 





Zac Efron
YUM. For those of you that watched the ceremony, the highlight (by a long shot) was the ripping of this shirt by Rita Ora. Swoon factor here as Efron combined a smart denim shirt (that revealed just enough arm muscle) with some super skinny jeans. Marry me?


Aaron Taylor-Johnson
I've always loved a bit of Mr Johnson (remember Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging?) but is it me, or has Aaron got like 100000x hotter? his slick polo neck with inserts showed off his *ahem* muscley build and wow those are some perfectly tight trousers. Oh la laaa. 






Worst Dressed


Bella Thorne
Here is a lesson in how to wear pastels wrong. Bella's dress is AWFUL. I hate the single sleeve and the floral detail around the cleavage. Wrap-style dresses went out long ago. BLEURGH


Ellen Page

Is it just me, or has Ellen Page been dressing sloppy recently? I'm not a fan of this ill-fitting shirt. Sort it out.



Jared Leto
Dare I say this, but I preferred what Leto wore in most recent film Dallas Buyers Club! This Hawaiian shirt/straw hat combo is ghastly. This isn't Coachella Jared!

Peaches Geldof Dies at the age of 25

Model and journalist Peaches Geldof has tragically died today at the age of 25. The daughter of Sir Bob Geldof spent a majority of her life in the limelight modelling at London Fashion Week and writing political pieces for The Telegraph and The Guardian



Geldof married husband Max Drummey back in 2008 and they had two sons Astala and Phaedra, both of which strongly feature on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

  

Police report that they were called to an address in Wrotham, Kent after a woman's welfare became of concern. Her death is being treated as unexplained and extremely sudden, not the first tragedy the Geldof family have suffered. 

Paula Yates, Peaches mother died in 2000 after a drugs overdose and the star spoke of her death to Elle magazine last year, saying 

"I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father's mentality was 'keep calm and carry on'. "

Beyoncé Doesn't Fancy Attending Kim and Kanye's Wedding, Calling it 'Tacky'

These days it really isn't hard to keep up with the Kardashians, but it seems some people are slightly reluctant to. Pop siren and queen of the charts BeyoncĂ© Knowles is one of those few who isn't too keen on being present on Kimye's happy day and has even refused to be filmed for the reality show that follows the Kardashian family. 

One of the couples' rare outings. Awk. 


According to Radaronline, the Drunk in Love singer has confirmed her presence at the couple's ceremony taking place in Paris in May but has labelled the filming of the wedding 'tacky'. Is Bey being a bit harsh?!

Firm rapper friends.


A notoriously private couple, BeyoncĂ© and Jay Z are polar opposites to TV-reared Kim and her fame-hungry rapper husband. 

The source for Radar continued to say "Make no mistake, the only reason BeyoncĂ© is going to the wedding is because Jay is best friend’s with Kanye "

So much hate...


Adding "She knows she’ll have to go to the wedding, but really does not to want to."

Despite the Kardashian's efforts to become friendly with Knowles, it is widely known that her attempts have been rebuffed. Perhaps this prissy princess is getting a little too uptight? Known for refusing official cameras into her gigs unless approved by her, it seems this singer needs to worry less about 'lowering her standards' and lighten up a bit. 

WHY YOU NO LOVE ME BEY?!

Miley Cyrus Smokes Joint and Gets Emoji Tattoo on her Lower Lip

It's just another day in the life of idiotic pop star Miley Cyrus. Back in the studio to create yet another ridiculously irritating song, the 21-year-old was this time joined by Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips on Friday evening. 

Possibly recording Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, a single which Cyrus has been covering on her current Bangerz tour, Coyne posted an image of the star on Instagram appearing to be rolling a suspicious looking cigarette. Well... 



With a pair of grinders, Bangerz rolling paper and weed all featuring under the picture caption: 
'Yup...... Recordin with Miley... High as f***.... #flaminglips #theflaminglips #tulsa #lovemoneyparty' it's pretty obvious what they were doing. 



The controversial singer didn't stop there however as that same day she took to social media to display her latest, and possibly worst tattoo to date. 

Clearly taking her inspiration from the childishly simple emojis we have on our phones, Cyrus got a crying cat positioned on the inside of her bottom lip. Notorious for fading, this inking was displayed on her instagram account with the caption 



"#sadkitty #f***yeahtulsa @waynewontpostpicsofnakedwomen @katyweaver #lovemoneyparty #freak"



Freak indeed. The pointless nature of the tattoo comes when considering that Cyrus has her tongue hanging out for most of the day. Let's hope she decides to grow up soon.

Lady Gaga Gets Puked on at SXSW Concert

Extrovert mother monster Lady Gaga has outdone herself once again, leaving thousands of gig-goers retching when she was puked on during a performance. The 27-year-old took to the SXSW Doritos #Boldstage last night in Austin Texas to celebrate her charity, the Born This Way Foundation




Whilst performing 'Swine', a single from her most current album, Gaga had a female on stage with her stick her fingers in her throat and eject a green substance over her- nice. 



The shock tactics didn't stop there however as she and her female accomplice sat atop a mechanical rodeo bull while this time the woman spewed black liquid onto the singer. Scissoring, hugging and other general debauchery followed before she finished the gig in a sickly mess. 


For those of you who wish to see her pukey performance, you can watch it below:

Best and Worst Dressed at the Oscars 2014

Best Dressed

Cate Blanchett
 As well as picking up that coveted best actress award on Sunday, Blanchett won my prize for best dressed in this exquisite nude Armani PrivĂ© gown complete with intricate embellishments. Her subtle Hollywood curls and minimal jewellery do nothing to offset the beautiful dress. 


Jennifer Lawrence
I was slightly disappointed with Lawrence's rouge gown during the ceremony, with it's out of date peplum and trip-worthy length, her mirrored mini was a much better option. Opting for Tom Ford, this glittery dress with skinny stilettos and a loose quiff finish off her look beautifully.



Kate Hudson
Miss Hudson looked ravishing in this flowing Versace piece. I loved the spiked shoulders complete with embellishments and a deep V that meet with a gathering of the rich material at her waist. 



Charlize Theron
I am a massive fan of the nude straps on this Dior gown worn by Charlize Theron on the red carpet. The top half compliments her slim figure and progresses into a chunky chiffon section before the train presents thin black panels. 


Emma Watson
As English rose Emma Watson gets older, her fashion sense just gets better and better. This Vera Wang piece is stunning with chain mail-esque sleeveless top that stands boldly joined to the black glittery bottom half. She finishes off her look with dramatic rouge, a metallic clutch and several chunky silver rings. Perfect.


Emma Roberts
There was a severe lack of dramatic colour on the red carpet at the weekend so I was really excited when I saw Emma Roberts tulip shaped dress with slash neck at the Vanity Fair party. The silky geometric patterning is subtle and sophisticated and I loved her matching skinny stilettos and glittered solid clutch. 




Brangelina 
My Brangelina obsession seems to augment each time I see them on the red carpet, and the Oscars was no exception. Metallic being an ever-present this season, Jolie's dress was a visual delight. Sparkling in front of the lens, the subtle chiffon sections juxtapose the gathered stalagmite and stalactite-esque encrusted shapes on the gown- beautiful.



Sarah Paulson
American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson opted for an understated pale bronze encrusted floor-length piece. With subtle floral patterns and a metallic clutch bag to compliment the dress, Paulson truly shone.  


Kelly Osbourne
It still baffles me to see someone like Kelly Osbourne on the red carpet at the weekend, however her choice of dress was spot on. Taking a simple strapless, almost dull white gown and adding a sheer and metallic drape gave the outfit volume and charm, thumbs up Kelly. 





Sandra Bullock
A wrap dress can sometimes look dull but Bullock's midnight blue dress with flowing train, side curls and dark eyes give her a mystical, almost ethereal look. 




Jenna Dewan
Intricacy is displayed at it's greatest here with Dewan in this Reem Acra creation. Beading and feathering create a fabulous combination and the slate grey is an elegant colour to opt for. 







Worst Dressed

Anna Kendrick
Oh dear, oh dear. Anna Kendrick's multi-layered black gown with diagonal strip did not flatter the actress,. Although I like the way she matched her nails, mid-section and clutch, the look was too dark. 


Kristen Bell
Cavalli fell flat for me as Kristen Bell looked stiff and almost slightly plump in this dull gown. The bottom half of the dress looked more like a lettuce that has been drained of colour than a sophisticated creation. 



Liza Minelli
Wow, what a disaster. Matching her god-awful electric blue satin two piece, Minelli even incorporated a garish blue streak to complete her fashion fatality. Its burning my eyes.



Pharrell Williams
Making his second fashion faux pas of the season, it was bizarre that Williams opted for shorts instead of trousers. Perhaps someone should remind him he is at the Oscars, not the beach?!



Jared Leto 
So many Hollywood hunks sizzled on the red carpet but Leto's monochrome Saint Laurent tuxedo failed to impress me. Why pick a red bow tie? 



Elsa Pataky
The beautiful Elsa Pataky wore a turquoise embellished gown that made her look ludicrous.Almost as bad as Kim K's sofa dress I must say...
