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.

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 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.

Gallery, Red Carpet, Top Five, worst dressed
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.

When we’re having an “I don’t know what to wear” moment one of the places we’ll have a sneaky look at is red carpet events.
They are, afterall, a mecca for best dressed celebrities who have often been given top styling advice.
If you’re still stuck with what to wear to a smart Christmas party or for New Years eve then why not take some inspiration from girl of the moment Rooney Mara who went for a stunning white fishtail frock at the London premiere of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo?
If that’s a little bit too much then Caprice showed how effective a simple red strapless dress could be at the Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, while Talula also showed how faux fur can be stylish and keep you snug at the same event.
See the gallery below for more inspiration.

With a star-studded cast list as ‘New Year’s Eve’ it could be difficult for the leading ladies to stand out from the crowd. One way of ensuring they get equal time in the spotlight is to give them one premiere each, which is just what director Garry Mashall did. So while Lea Michele – of Glee fame – walked the red carpet with Ashton Kutcher in Los Angeles, Jessica Biel dazzled the crowds in New York City.
Both Lea and Jessica opted to wear a champagne coloured dress with shimmery detailing by Valentino but while Jessica chose the demure approach, Lea went for a dramatic, plunging neckline that certainly made jaws drop (including Ashton’s). Snaps for bringing out the Old Hollywood glamour, girls!
We can’t decide which one we like better, can you?

If you’re looking for inspiration for that Christmas party outfit then this week’s red carpet events will give you just that.
Yesterday a huge host of A-listers turned up on the New Year’s Eve premiere red carpet in a range of frocks. Lea Michele shone in a stunning off-white long frock- perfect for more formal occasions – while Fergie and Hilary Swank went for embellished short numbers, which we think are perfect for that night out on the tiles.
Over on the W.E premiere red carpet Madonna sported the skinny jeans and blazer, which is a perfect alternative for frock fearing ladies, while Chloe Sevigny showed how to vamp up a Christmas party outfit in a red dress.
See the gallery below for more Christmas party frock inspiration.

Fashion Face Off, Red Carpet
By Elisabeth on November 17th, 2011
And guess who won with one gigantic knock-out? Kristen Stewart. No. Doubt.
Film premieres and red carpets bring out the best – and worst – in the fashion world, and last night’s Twilight: Breaking Dawn premiere in London was no exception. The vampire films’ leading lady, Kristen Stewart – who plays Bella Swan in the films – graced the red carpet in a full-length black halterneck Roberto Cavalli gown which she wore with an oversized Alexander McQueen leather belt, black peep toe heels and sexy, dark glamorous eye make-up.

And then there was TOWIE’s Lauren Pope. Essex girl Lauren looked like she’d left half of her dress at home, sporting a red dress that was split all the way down on one side… Lucky the premiere was indoors at Westfield Stratford, because the tiniest breeze could have made for very interesting events – and photographs…
