British TV Choice Awards red carpet highlights

By Elisabeth on September 14th, 2011

While we wait for Fashion Week to roll into London town with its mix of models, bloggers, celebrities and journalists running around the city in heels (or will it be flats this year?) we’ve decided to take a closer look at last nights British TV Choice Awards. The awards are nothing like the Emmy’s or even the Razzies, but it does bring out the soap celebs who are usually seen on a very small screen near you.

This year Doctor Who’s Karen Gillian was our favourite – despite her looking quite moody – in a crystal embellished nude-dress and smokey eyes. As far as highlights go there weren’t too many… Claire from Steps wore a 50′s style dress but looked more like a wicked witch than Mad Men-esque. Speaking of Mad Men, we love – LOVE – Christina Hendricks and while Chloe Simms might have been trying to copy Hendrick’s recent décolletage last night she just ended up looking like the Jordan wannabe she is.

Check out the gallery below for some more red carpet choices.

Star style spotlight: Jessie Wallace

By Andrea Petrou on June 1st, 2011

Our favourite Eastender’s lady made us all very happy when she tumbled back onto Albert Square last year. Not only because she bought along Alfie (or Shane Ritchie) but also because it gave us a chance to laugh at the garish Kat Slater fashions.

And there was an extra treat with Kat being heavily pregnant meaning leopard print skirts and dresses were stretched across a big bump, while bodycon frocks also made an appearance – I actually have one of these maternity numbers shoved at the back of the wardrobe because my OH cast similarities between myself and this soapstar when I proudly modelled it.
However, off screen actress Jessie Wallace is completely different to her fiendish fashion character, opting for long elegant or girly frocks.

She’s a fan of the 50s and Grecian style looks, as well as skyscraper heels. Off the red carpet Jessie is a casual girl at heart with a love of denim and on-trend biker chic – perhaps I’ll go for this look once my bump arrives.

Gallery: British Soap Awards: Michelle Keegan, Jennifer Metcalfe, Brooke Vincent and more

By Andrea Petrou on May 16th, 2011

We love the British Soap Awards. Usually because it’s a chance for us to get a little bit critical and laugh about the garish red carpet fashions.

However, this year it seems the soap elite have wised up, with hardly a lady putting a high heeled foot wrong on Saturday’s red carpet.

Leading the way was Hollyoak’s starlet Jennifer Metcalfe who went for a Cheryl Colesque black backless pantsuit. She led the backless tone for the rest of her ‘Oaks cast with Jorgie Porter opting for this look with a green pantsuit, and Stephanie Waring going for a backless grey frock.

Also flying the flag for the teen soap was Jackie Cooper who went for a white plunge neck frock with a split, she was joined in the white dress stakes by ‘Enders starlet and best actress winner Jessie Wallace who looked stunning in a white Grecian frock complete with an embellished neckline, while her co-star Shona McGarty went for a questionable purple frock, which showed off her midriff.
Over in the Corrie camp, we were disappointed by Michelle Keegan’s garish gold frock, however, Brooke Vincent’s lime green Lipsy frock, with her own customised beading saved the soap in terms of style.
Trend wise, Sarah Dunn and Suzanne Shaw flew the flag for 50s tea length and pleats, while Samia Smith had a play with the colour block trend.

See the gallery below for all the red carpet style.

Best and worst dressed at the Inside Soap Awards

By Andrea Petrou on September 28th, 2010

Badly fitting dresses, fake tan and bright colours, it could only mean one thing. Yes, that’s right the Inside Soap Awards came into town last night.

Katy Cavanagh topped our worst dressed list in what looks like a fairy godmother frock gone very wrong (in fact it looks like she raided our nan’s nightie draw). She continued the fashion faux pas with an equally ill fitting fur shrug.

Shobna Gulati also didn’t do much to impress us in a satin multicoloured frock that looked like it should still be hung up in Primark. Bronagh Waugh, who last awards won our worst dressed award looked slightly better in a jumpsuit but we’ve said it a hundred times before Bronagh, less is more – those puppies do not always have to be on show.

The normally impeccably dressed Carley Stenson also let us down with her choice of a pink frock, which looked more like a badly made cape.

On the plus side some soap stars did pull out the stops, although not A-list red carpet worthy Holly Quin-Ankrah looked great in an on-trend nude body con strapless number while Charlotte Bellamy rocked it in a LBD complete with this season’s must have black tights and ankle boots.

Kristy-Leigh Porter also rocked the red carpet in an leopard print asymmetric number as did Natalie Anderson in a midnight blue structured dress.

However, our best dressed of the night has got to be Hollyoaks star Claire Cooper who ditched her on-screen chavvy look for a pale blue dress and showed off a gorgeous cropped haircut too.

All the soap star style from the TV Choice Awards

By Andrea Petrou on September 7th, 2010

Black was the order of the night as celebrities hit the red carpet at London’s Dorchester Hotel for the annual TV Choice awards.

Kerry Katona showed off too much of her new body, and celebrated her 30th birthday in a slinky black dress, with a split and short front while Suzanne Shaw also opted for this colour wearing a short black ruffled dress for the event.

Holly Willoughby dressed up the carpet in a classic wrap-front velvet LBD, which she completed with a touch of bright red lipstick as did Emmerdale’s Sammy Winward who stood out with a chic black jumpsuit and classic court heels. Other women in black were Danielle who chose an asymmetric LBD with an unfortunately unclassy thigh-high slit and Lacey Turner who did us proud in a cute little tea dress.

Samia Smith and Lucy Pargeter brought a pop of colour to the TV Choice line, wearing coral and silver mini frocks, while Michelle Keegan looked stunning in a blue mini frock. Michelle Mone also went for this colour donning a blue satin maxi dress for the event.

British Soap Awards 2010: Celebs snapped the morning after the night before

By Andrea Petrou on May 10th, 2010

They may have dressed up to the nines for the 2010 British Soap Awards on Saturday night, but our soap stars weren’t as bright eyed and bushy tailed yesterday morning.

Although some starlets including Gemma Merna and Jorgie Porter did their best to dress up at the risk of being snapped.

However, others went for the trackie and no make-up look complete with the obligatory bottle of water and big sunglasses to help, with what we can only assume, those post soap award hangovers.

We think there’s a huge difference from the stunning frocks of the night before to the morning after, but we’re pleased to see that even celebs have hungover dress down days.

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.
