Victoria Beckham has achieved what many singers, actresses and models all desire. She’s created a successful fashion range, which is taken seriously by the style world.
Unlike many stars which have ventured into this industry hoping their name is enough to sell their ranges, Victoria has grafted hard to achieve her status as a respected designer, showing at New York fashion week and creating ranges we all want.
She’s also become a “must have” label for stars to be seen in on the red carpet. Last year Cheryl Cole showed her old pal some serious style satisfaction wearing a light pink creation on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet.
However, she’s not the only one with the range grabbing the attention of Gisele Bundchen, Kate Winslet and most recently Michelle Williams who wore a short patterned number for the 2012 Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon.
See the gallery below for our top five celebrities wearing VB’s designs on the red carpet.

It was hardly a glittering star studded red carpet event, but the celebrities who performed and attended last night’s Superbowl XLVI made it an A-list worthy sports event.
Madonna was our celebrity of the night, performing at half time alongside Nicki Minaj. However those hoping to see a little bit of flesh as has become tradition at this event – either purposely or by Janet Jackson accident- would have been disappointed with Madge choosing a short black dress and grey tights to perform.
Nicki Minaj also kept it safe with a patchwork cheerleader style dress and leopard print tights.
Kelly Clarkson added a classic black dress to the performing mix, while over at the stands Meg Ryan went for a leather jacket.

Every year, around this time, we begin to see a pattern in celebrity red carpet dress choices.
The Golden Globes are over for another year, the SAG awards are over and the Oscars are heating up.
This awards season one trend has really made a stand and that’s the white dress.
However, unlike last seasons, this frock has been transformed from the white wedding ball style gown into a sleek straight number seen on the likes of Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, Kelly Osbourne and hundreds more A-listers.
Some give a nod to the sixties with short hems and lace, while others are more seventies with billowing sleeves and sparkles. We can’t wait to see what other trends emerge on the red carpet later on this year.
See the gallery below for our top five ladies in white on the red carpet.

We usually can’t wait for the NTA Awards here at Shiny Towers. It’s a great excuse to laugh at all the garish and, if we’re being blunt, tackiest red carpet dresses of the year.
However, this year, with the exception of Tulisa who went for a bright pink netted tutu style frock, the dresses have been as sophisticated as other awards ceremonies.
And not even the cast of TOWIE let the side down with Lydia Bright going for a gorge black frock, Sam in a long nude sequined number and Lauren Pope in a similar frock.
However Lauren Goodger let her cast mates down with an ill fitting silver number.
Also making a fashion stand was Michelle Keegan and Rita Simons, while Lara Stone’s simple black frock also deserves a mention.
See all the red carpet fashion in the gallery above.

We’re opening up a whole can of fashion worms with our list of the worst dressed celebrities at last night’s Golden Globes. We know some of you won’t agree with our list but some of our fave ladies just didn’t cut it when it came to their frocks last night.
First up is Kelly Osbourne who just didn’t look right in her blue fishtail frock, while Charlize Theron, known for her mistakes on the red carpet, made another faux pas with her short dress and long train.
Michelle William’s blue leopard print dress just didn’t stand out, while Natalie Portman’s ill fitting frock also lands her in our list.
See the gallery below for the rest of our worst dressed.

London and LA were buzzing with style this week as stars turned out for two separate events. Here in blighty Jessie J donned a see through black frock for the Brit Award Nominations.
She was joined by Dionne Bromfield who went for a nude, bodycon dress, and Emeli Sande who channelled the 60s print trend with a patterned dress.
Over in LA the 38th Annual People’s Choice Awards saw Miley Cyrus and Lea Michele don white frocks, while Ashley Greene stood out in a gorge lace and leather dress.
Also opting for black was Vanessa Hudgens while Ginnifer Goodwin made a huge mistake with a pink flared sleeved frock.
See the gallery below for all the pics.

We’re not afraid to admit that we have far too many pairs of jeans.
Yes, some may look like another pair, but the fit is different and it would of course be rude not to own as many styles as possible. Some show off our booties while others elongate our legs.
Some can be worn with heels for a night out while others are great teamed up with trainers for a casual day at the park.
However, sometimes we struggle to find that perfect look and that’s where celebrities come in handy. We heart Rihanna’s take on the boyfriend jeans, while Angelina Jolie shows how to wear the bootcut look and give it a smart edge.
Then there’s Jessica Alba and Alexa Chung who rock the coloured jeans, teaming them with a plain top to really accentuate that hue.
See the gallery below for all the celebrity denim inspiration.

Kate Middleton showed once again why she made our top five best dressed royals list last week.
The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning as she stepped out for the War Horse premiere in a black lace Alice Temperley fishtail dress complete with a plunging neckline.
She kept her trademark waves dry with a large clear circular umbrella and finished off her look with a small black clutch bag.
According to sources, Kate had the kleenex out from the beginning of the weepy film directed by Steven Spielberg. We hope she didn’t smudge her make up.
See the gallery below for images of Kate’s fab frock.

The baby boom is well and truly here.
Last year a huge amount of celebrities, namely Victoria Beckham and Natalie Portman, gave birth.
However, over the weekend a new yummy mummy joined the baby crew and that’s of course Beyonce who gave birth to a little girl Ivy Blue Carter.
We’ve therefore decided to revise our list of celebrity mums and draw up a new top five.
Victoria Beckham makes the list for her style throughout her pregnancy and after the birth, while Natalie Portman also makes the grade as a result of her fab maternity wear.
See the gallery below for the top five celebrity yummy mummies.

Beyonce Knowles has given birth to baby girl Blue Ivy Carter
Beyonce Knowles has given birth to a baby girl. The ‘Halo’ singer and rapper husband Jay-Z welcomed their first child together at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York last night (07.01.11) and have decided to name her Blue Ivy Carter.
Jay – real name Shawn Carter – is said to have been by his wife’s side as she gave birth and they are thought to have paid $1.3 million to rent out the entire fourth floor of the hospital.
Pop singer and friend to the couple Rihanna tweeted: “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih (sic).”
Music mogul Russell Simmons closely followed, writing: “Congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z .”
Beyonce, 30, reportedly checked into the hospital under the name Ingrid Jackson and friends of the couple were seen bringing bottles of red wine and food to celebrate after the birth.
Beyonce and Jay, 42, were married in 2008 after dating for six years and she revealed she was pregnant at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards in August.
Speaking about her pregnancy last December, Beyonce said: “It’s exciting! I know it’s gonna be difficult at times. I know that, like my mother, I’m gonna get on my child’s nerves but I’m just ready! I’m ready for the next chapter.”
While the new arrival was first reported to have been named Ivy Blue, Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed that the name was actually Blue Ivy Carter!

Emma Watson's haircut was most influential of 2011
Emma Watson and Justin Bieber had the most influential haircuts of 2011. The ‘Harry Potter’ actress’ pixie crop and the ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker’s ‘swish’ style have been hugely popular with fans over the past 12 months, with hairdressers all over the world being inundated with requests for something similar.
The Wall Street Journal reported: “Hairstylists are being inundated with requests. The enthusiasm plays out online, where the fastest-rising searches for celebrity haircuts on Google are for Ms. Watson and Mr. Bieber.”
According to the paper, these looks mark a pretty significant change for hairstyle popularity, since for women, “short hair hasn’t been trendy since the ’90s” and because men “may justifiably feel sheepish about asking for the cut”.
Other important stylish events over 2011 included Kim Kardashian’s doomed wedding to Kris Humphries, Kanye West’s Paris Fashion Week debut and the nuptials of Britain’s Prince William and Duchess Catherine in April.
Emma, 21, had her hair cut at the end of last year and said it was a way of entering a “new phase” in her life as she had finished playing Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise.
She said: “I’m 20 now, so I’m not a child any more. I’ve been on ‘Harry Potter’ for ten years now, so I felt the need to mark the end of it in some way – I needed some way to say to myself, ‘Right, you’re entering a new phase of your life now’. I needed a change, and that’s what the haircut is about.”

Although 2011 bought us some great new designers and celebrity fashions, it was also a sad year for music and style fans around the world as we said a goodbye to the talented Amy Winehouse.
Her soulful voice, statement beehive and tattoos as well as her ballet pumps will always be remembered in the fashion world as will her preppy chic look, which of course has been channelled in her Fred Perry collaboration.
To mark the end of the year and pay tribute to the talented star we’ve put together a gallery of her style.
