The A – Z of Award Show Fashion – red carpet style rundown
As we approach the middle of the madness that is awards season, we take a look at what we think makes up the A – Z of red carpet style at these big star-studded events (yes, we even found a Q and an X)…
A is for Academy Awards
The Academy Awards is undoubtedtly the biggest awards show on the red carpet calendar and thus the most glamorous. Film stars from across the globe flock to Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre to celebrate the year’s best performances, dressed in their very best couture. Designers clamour to dress nominees and presenters, as the publicity is worth millions.
Red Carpet Designer of 2011 & Couturier of 2011 – Elie Saab
By an overwhelming margin, Elie Saab not only received the most votes for Red Carpet Designer of the Year, but also for Couturier of the Year.
No, I promise you I didn’t rig the votes.
The designer’s magical gowns were showcased at almost each and every main occasion this year such as Cannes Film Festival, the Oscars, the Latin Grammys, the Bambi Awards, the Marie Claire Prix de la Moda Awards, the BAFTAs, the Emmy’s and the Golden Globes.
Zoe Saldana In Elie Saab – 2011 Latin Grammy Awards
November 11th, 2011
Zoe Saldana attended the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight.
Elie Saab dresses are like buses, you wait forever for one and then two come along at once.
Starworks Press Preview
Recently I attended the Starworks Press Preview in London.
I always make a beeline for the Nicholas Kirkwood section, but they featured many other brands including Atelier Swarovski, Hogan, Hudson, Jonathan Saunders, Julien Macdonald, Kate Spade, Marios Schwab, Peter Pilotto, Pollini, Roksanda Ilincic and Trilogy.
The new brands I was introduced to on this occasion were Mother of Pearl, Vilshenko, Claudia Schiffer and Lily Allen’s Lucy in Disguise.
The Lucy in Disguise Fall 2011 collection wasn’t allowed to be photographed, but I can tell you that Lily is expanding into ready to wear with a capsule collection for Fall. The vintage inspired collection included a gorgeous nude long sleeve dress and 40s style tea dresses.

Nicole Kidman’s Jean Paul Gaultier Floral Dress For 2011 Grammy Awards
Nicole Kidman, I’ve got my eyes on you! Yes, regardless of her dress choice, Nicole Kidman will always get my attention when she’s out on the Red Carpet with her husband, Keith Urban. Because they make such a lovely pair! And you know I love people who smile bright and happy!
So Nicole Kidman was wearing a floral Jean Paul Gaultier dress from the Spring 2011 Haute Couture collection (which I found rather sad and too theatrical in trying so desperate to be punk and rebel). She looked gorgeous and the dress suited her wonderfully, giving her a playful, friendlier look than her usual bland dress choices. Aren’t they lovely?

Rihanna’s White Jean Paul Gaultier Dress For 2011 Grammy Awards
And here’s a second Jean Paul Gaultier dress from the Spring 2011 Haute Couture Collection attending the 2011 Grammy Awards Ceremony! This time it’s Rihanna who chose the bride dress from the Jean Paul Gaultier couture collection (which was originally presented on the catwalk by Andrej Pejic).
Looking stunning and festive, Rihanna matched her dress with a lovely red bob which emphasized her face shape and sweetened her usually edgy appearance. Her too visible lingerie aside, Rihanna was very elegant and feminine, almost grown up, huh? (more images right after the jump, click here for the gallery!) (photos via 1, 2)

Miley Cyrus In Roberto Cavalli Sequined Dress For 2011 Grammy Awards
It’s been a while since we haven’t had the pleasure of commenting one of Miley Cyrus‘ Red Carpet appearances! However, the Miley dress hour has arrived! The lovely young lady walked the 2011 Grammy Awards Red Carpet wearing something unusual for her – Roberto Cavalli.
From the Spring Summer 2011 collection the sequined dress was an interesting choice for Miley. Not so much in terms of color and material (sequins) but more in terms of designer and targeted customers. I was always under the impression that Roberto Cavalli designs for a more… say… mature crowd with a flamboyant sense of style. Is that who Miley is?

Ciara’s Emilio Pucci Maxi Dress For 2011 Grammy Awards
Another Red Carpet Appearance we haven’t talked about in a while – Ciara. She’s such a gorgeous young woman! I just wish she could put on more lovely dresses like this one so we could talk about her sartorial exploits with a smile on our faces!
Ciara was wearing a lovely maxi dress from the Spring Summer 2011 Emilio Pucci collection. The dramatic cuts of the bodice left little for the imagination as Ciara‘s great body was proudly exposed through the cutouts. I’m happy she didn’t opt for something even edgier and she kept it chic and feminine. Go get them girl! (photos via 1, 2)
