Elle Style Awards 2011.

I'm back again! Tonight was the Elle Style Awards in London. Here are my favourites from tonight's ceremony.

1)Jameela Jamil


Jameela brings some sex appeal in this long Hussein Chalayan gown with the high slit up the leg which shows off her luscious skin tone. Her shoes are to die for!

2) Emilia Fox


This look from Emilia reminds me of a certain Carrie Bradshaw from the film Sex and the City 2 (see below), what with the retro tee and voluminous skirt. The chunky chain also gives it an 80s feel.


3)Karen Gillan


This is my favourite look of the night even though its not as dressed up as the others but it would be pretty easy to imitate. Its an easy look to wear during the day with some flat pumps or converse and then dress it up in the evening with some heels. The light coloured shirt also makes Karen's hair look more fiery than ever

4) Alexa Chung


If Alexa is on any red carpet, then you know she'll be making an appearance on my blog. This is a really beautiful and elegant dress. It's quite long but the waist band and loops 3/4s down help to break the length up so she doesn't look too frumpy. I'm also really loving Alexa's new darkened locks, it really brings out her eyes.

5)Courtney Love


I find it very surprising that I actually like something Courtney is wearing. I'm not much of a Courtney fan but this dress is really flattering. She looks so lady like anyone who didn't know who she was would find it hard to believe the things shes done. The red lipstick gives it a flash of glamour.

6) Emma Watson


Emma looks like an ice skater in this super short number. I love how Emma really balances out how much flesh she flashes. If she wears something short, the neck will be high but when she wears a low neckline, the hem is usually to her knees. You don't have to show everything to be sexy.

7) Minnie Driver


This is a very flirty little dress from Minnie. I love the pattern and the diagonal hemline. The puffy sleeves give this tight dress some volume. This dress is most likely made for the younger generations but Minnie has pulled it off without looking silly.

8) David Gandy


Every time I see this man I can't help but say 'Cooorrr'. Yes it is the hottie wearing the white trunks in that Dolce & Gabbana advert. Who would've thought he looks just as irresistible in clothes. The fact that he's wearing a three piece suit only makes me love him more.

9) Henry Holland


Henry never fails to disappoint me. He always manages to to get around wearing the same black suit that most guys wear on red carpets. It looks sort of like denim and those orange buttons really stand out.

10) Nick Grimshaw


Here's Nick with Pixie Geldof rocking the plaid suit. I love how he's wearing a purple tie to match with his date for the night. Another three piece suit which I am a big fan of on guys, I only wish more wore them. Every time I look at this photo, all I hear is 'Smooth Operator'.

Hope everyone likes this update, don't forget to leave some comments at the bottom. I'll be back later for a Brits update!!

The Bafta Awards 2011

The Bafta awards hit London last night.....and so did the rain. There was a lot of red last night and I'm not just talking about the carpet. Here are a few of my favourite dresses from the awards and there are some from the pre party and the after party.

1)Amy Adams


This is Amy as she was leaving her hotel to attend the awards. Below is a photo I took myself as I was there.

This is a really pretty dress which compliments both her skin tone and hair colour. The little sparkle adds a touch of glamour.

2)Hofit Golan


Everyone loves polka dots. I most certainly do. They bring fun to an outfit. Really love this dress, especially the lace detail at the top and bottom.

3)Thandie Newton


Its such a pity it rained last night as Thandie's dress was my favourite of the night but the drops are clearly visible. I did however manage to get a photo of Thandie leaving her hotel before the rain got to her dress

She look stunning. Even the paparazzi waiting outside said 'wow' when they saw her. Its everything a red carpet should be - long, big and colourful.

4) Emma Stone


Although this dress was kind of plain, Emma has accessorised well - gold bracelets, gold clutch, gold waistband and even her hair is looking more golden. The one shoulder gives it a modern finish.

5) Jameela Jamil


Just realised Jameela is wearing the same dress as Hofit but with a different pattern. Their dresses are by Dolce & Gabbana. I really love the bright red poppies which stand out over the black. I love most things Jameela wears and this is definitely one of my favourite looks from her.

6) Talulah Riley


Talulah looks so elegant in this Escada gown. The colours are very nautical and I particularly love the bow on the shoulder. Her hair has a 50s Hollywood feel to it which I adore.

7) Sarah Harding


Sarah brought some fire along to the Baftas last night in this red hot chili colour dress. It can be hard to really stand out on a red carpet by wearing red but with the high slit up her leg, all eyes were on her.

8) Emma Watson


I much more preferred this dress Emma wore for the after party than the dress she wore for the actual awards ceremony. This dress fits better with her pixie haircut and has a lot more detail like the ruffles and flowers. This is something I would absolutely wear.

9) Rosamund Pike


This was Rosamund at the Pre-Bafta party on Saturday night. I really love this dress and poppies are becoming quite popular on clothing. This dress is perfect for a little party - flirty, elegant and vibrant.
