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.

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…

A-listers put their fashion feet forward for the Hollywood Style Awards. However, some didn’t quite channel that style. Looking hot was Andrea Riseborough who looked all princessy in a pink puffed ball gown, while Chloe Moretz looked bang on-trend in a yellow satin blouse and black skater skirt.
Channelling the LBD was Rose McGowan who went for a simple frock, while Mandy Moore gave a nod to the overlay trend with a sheer fabric black frock.
Joining the colour shin dig was SATC gal Kristen Davis who went for a simple coral frock, while Jamie King went for a block colour sheer number.
However, Khloe Kardashian clearly got confused about which party she was attending turning up in a gothic style black frock. Halloween was a few weeks back Khloe….
The long black dress was at the centre of the fashion world yesterday as celebrities opted for this look at a range of events.
Channelling the look over in the US was Nicole Richie who went for a simple plunge neck version for the 15th Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards.
She was joined at the event by Agyness Deyn who opted for the long black frock in a see through lace version. Over at the MLS Western Conference Championship Victoria Beckham went for a black frock, while baby Harper Seven dressed in grey for the event.
And it was the same fashion story in London with Amber and Yasmin Le Bon both opting for black dresses at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Amber channelled the lace look while her mother stuck to a classic asymmetric strapless look.
They were joined by Natalia Vordinova who spiced up the back dress with a velvet bustier look. However some celebrities stood out from the black dress crowd. Jessie J went for an 80s look of a blue jumpsuit at gauche gold jacket, while Coco Rocha also went for blue in a strapless dress at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.
See the gallery below for all the star style.
