Pictures- Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum: Rihanna, Beyonce, Alexa Chung and many more

By Andrea Petrou on May 8th, 2012

Hollywood’s elite stepped out last night to celebrate the Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum.

Sporting the big, almost flamboyant frocks, were Beyonce, who went for a sheer black lace number with a blue feathered train, and Florence Welch who went for a three tiered sequined dress. They were joined with this trend by Scarlett Johansson who went for a pale pink sequined bodice and netted skirt.

Going for a simple white frock were Ashley Greene and Amy Adams, while Cameron Diaz went for a slinky silver number.

However our best dressed ladies of the evening had to be Alexa Chung, who went for a leather frock over a secretary style blouse, Rihanna who opted for a slinky black animal print dress, and Gwyneth Paltrow who went for a short silver futuristic number.

See all the fashion in the gallery below.

Style Spotlight: The Hunger Games’ Elizabeth Banks

By Elisabeth on March 16th, 2012

The Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks is one of those you immediately recognise but can’t really place (or is that just me?).

She’s the cute next door kind of American girl, with beautiful golden locks and a charming smile. A rising star in the world of film, Elizabeth has also made sure people have taken notice of her as she’s graced the red carpets recently. Showing off in on-trend block colours, she’s certainly one to watch.

Check out the gallery below to see some of Elizabeth Banks’ recent red carpet looks, including the lemon yellow sequin Bill Blass dress she wore to the UK premiere of The Hunger Games.

Showing that it's not just Angelina that can do legs!

Doing their bit for British style were Alexa Chung who as always looked hot in an on-trend navy polka dot chiffon mini dress, while Marina Diamandis went for her usual kooky look sporting a bright pink 50s frock complete with a bow hairband.

Florence Welch gave a nod to the 70s with a floral monochrome suit and Katy B kept it simple with a cute white pleated dress.

Celebrity red carpet trends: White dresses

By Andrea Petrou on January 31st, 2012

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.

Golden Globe awards 2012 best hair and make up

By Andrea Petrou on January 17th, 2012

Yesterday it was all about the fab frocks at the Golden Globe awards, but today we’ve decided to focus on something equally important and that’s of course hair and make-up.
Trending at this year’s awards was the bronzed face and smokey eyed look channelled by Reese Witherspoon – who completed the look with luscious waves- and Lea Michelle who decided to finish the look with an up-do.

Also following this trend was Nicole Richie who bought the look bang into this season with a high ponytail. However, there were other trends also spotted when it came to beauty.

Angelina Jolie and Claire Danes emulated classic Hollywood chic with pale foundation and statement red lips, while Zooey Deschanel went all 60s with a blunt fringe and heavy eyeliner.

See all the Golden Globe 2012 beauty in the gallery below.

Kate Middleton wears Alice Temperley at the War Horse premiere

By Andrea Petrou on January 9th, 2012

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.

Top five worst dressed celebrities at the 2011 Golden Globe awards

By Andrea Petrou on January 5th, 2012

We heart January over here at ShinyStyle.

The Christmas party season is over, the sales are on and spring fashion colours are peeping through on the highstreet. However, the best thing about this month is of course the Golden Globe awards, which are guaranteed to bring out some of the best and worst dressed stars in Hollywood.

There’s only ten days left until we get to see all of this year’s red carpet style but to celebrate the huge event we’ve decided to take a look back at some of 2011′s fashion disasters.

Making the list is Leighton Meester who opted for a Burberry frock that couldn’t decide which trend it wanted to channel. Then there’s Helena Bonham Carter – don’t shoot us – whose glasses mixed with an over patterned frock made her look more silly than stylish.

And let’s not forget Halle Berry and January Jones who both showed us why it’s sometimes best to cover up at such events. Less is sometimes not more ladies.

See the gallery below for our top five worst dressed.
