Soap star spotlight: Brooke Vincent

By Andrea Petrou on May 24th, 2011

We’ve been so focused on all the Hollywood glamour that we’ve forgotten the leading ladies in the world of soap.

Yes, we know we have a giggle at various awards when the garish dresses come out, but this year’s soap awards proved that some of these ladies really know how to dress, so we’ve decided that over the next few weeks we’ll be having a closer look at some of these soap stars.
Kicking off our mini soap series is Brooke Vincent. The actress who plays Sophie Webster in Corrie caught our attention when she turned up the the British Soap Awards in a lime green Lipsy dress. However, she showed she was a girl after our own hearts when we heard that she’d customised the frock herself with crystals.
On the topic of her red carpet dresses, the soap starlet is often seen in classic designs ranging from 50s tea lengths to that classic LBD. Of course these are a far cry from the garish almost WAG style frocks her character wears.
Off the red carpet Brook keeps it simple opting for on-trend designs such as block colours and punk style tees. That’s what we call soap star style.

See the gallery below for all her star style.

By Andrea Petrou on May 10th, 2010

It’s a fact. There can never be a celebrity fuelled event without a best dressed gallery from us and this weekend there was alot to choose from at the British Soap Awards.

Many actresses such as HollyoaksCarley Stenson and Gemma Merna and Eastenders Taina Benjamin and Patsy Palmer stepped up their style game donning gorgeous frocks, while others including Jorgie Porter went for daring short jumpsuits.

And although the colour was predominantly black, we did spot a small amount of on-trend Hollywood white lurking around.

British Soap Awards 2010: Trend Alert – Black dresses

By Andrea Petrou on May 10th, 2010

While Hollywood starlets have chosen white as their colour du jour when stepping onto the red carpet, the Brit girls have remained faithful to the LBD (the L standing for both long and little here).

A huge number of actresses turned up in black dresses for the 2010 British Soap Awards on Saturday and this didn’t vary from soap to soap with starlets from Hollyoaks, Eastenders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale all opting for the trusty black dress.

We’ve put together a gallery of the best and worst black frocks of the night.

British Soap Awards Special: Michelle Keegan wins Sexiest female and we look at her competition

By Andrea Petrou on May 10th, 2010

Of all the different award categories of the British Soap Awards night, the Sexiest female award is probably one of the most coveted.

And this year was no different with actresses Preeya Kalidas, who plays Amira in Eastenders, Sammy Winward who plays Katie in Emmerdale and Sophie Abelson who plays Cherry in Doctors being some of the few who were nominated for this award.

However it was Michelle Keegan who plays Tina in Coronation Street, that beat all these girl’s to the post, and we have to say we think she deserves it.

Dressed in an on-trend nude mini strapless frock, which she teamed up with white peep-toe slingbacks, the actress cut a striking figure amongst her soap counter parts.

Take a look at the gallery featuring the other girls nominated for this award and let us know if you think Michelle won the crown in both the sexiest and style stakes by voting and leaving your comments below.

2010 British Soap Awards Special: Lacey Turner wows in her performance but not her frock

By Andrea Petrou on May 10th, 2010

Lacey Turner-400.jpg

Saturday was one of the biggest nights for British soap with the annual British Soap Awards takining place at the National TV Centre.

Soap stars were out in full frocked up force with many trying to out do each other on the red carpet as well as in the best soap stakes and there were many gorgeous dresses that evening.

However, although Eastenders starlet Lacey Turner who plays Stacey Slater in the show, was commended for her performance winning both Best Actress and Best Performance we were disappointed in her plain scoop neck white outfit, which in comparrison to other star’s frocks looked dull and plain. The shape also did nothing to flatter her figure, making her look more like a mini Pat Butcher at a wedding, than a young starlet.

However, her silver peep toe shoes did go some way to making this mistake up.

It’s surprising as Lacey usually only pulls off the best frocks on nights such as these, all we can suggest for this mishap is that the star’s nerves got the better of her fashion judgement.

Keep reading for more British Soap Awards fashion.
