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.

Emma Watson went for a tough/girlie look in a patent biker jacket with a cute full-skirted tartan dress. Such an adorable look
As well as the Mercury Music Awards, last night every smooth tuxedo’d hair gelled male celebrity in the world was present for the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. GQ may be a magazine for men written by men, but last night at the awards it was all about the girls in attendance, who outshone the boys by miles.
The very adorable Emma Watson made an appearance to remind us exactly why she’s one of our favourite fashion icons in a full-skirted tartan dress (yes, I know it sounds disgusting but in reality it wasn’t) and a patent biker jacket and it worked so, so well. Meanwhile, the beautiful Miss Lara Stone looked leggy and bronzed in a bright tangerine mini to show off her post-summer golden glow.
The Agent Provocateur model Daisy Lowe showed up with boyfriend Matt Smith on her arm looking incredibly dramatic and gothic in a floor-length lace fishtail gown with chocolately dark hair and red lipstick. Also favouring black dresses were Pixie Lott in a one-shouldered silk cocktail dress, Jameela Jamil wore a black gown with a long chiffon train and Kylie Minogue went for an uber-sexy look in a fitted corset dress.
We’re glad to say that Leona Lewis has FINALLY stopped trying to reinvent herself as the Lady Gaga of R&B in ridiculous outfits, and yesterday looked really pretty and girl-next-door-ish in a white fringed maxi dress with scarlet lips and a red clutch purse.
Check out who wore what to the GQ Men of the Year Awards in the gallery above.

The supermodel Lara Stone has confessed that modelling was never her ambition when she was growing up.
Lara said that as a child she never thought that modelling could be an “actual job”, planning instead as a little girl to become a stay-at-home mother. We bet if Lara’s younger self could see her now, fronting campaigns for Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and Givenchy, she’d be staggered.
She said: “Modelling wasn’t on my radar at all. I remember looking at all those amazing photos of Kate Moss but at first I didn’t realise it was an actual job. I came from a standard family – my mum was a stay-at-home mum and my dad worked. So you think that’s what your life is going to be; meet a nice man, get married and have some babies. I know when I was younger I wanted to do tonnes of different jobs. I used to come up with these crazy jobs to try and provoke my parents but they said you can be anything you want. I was like, ‘I want to be a garbage man’ and they were like, ‘That’s OK, we still love you!’”
We’re so glad Lara realised her ambition – she’s one of our favourite models.

Lara Stone has been named as the new face and body of Calvin Klein Underwear.
The supermodel – who already fronts campaigns for Calvin Klein Jeans, Calvin Klein Collection and ck Calvin Klein – will star in the Naked Glamour advertising campaign later this year.
Helen McCluskey, chief operating officer of The Warnaco Group Inc. which owns the Calvin Klein Underwear and Jeans businesses, described the ad images as “traditional Calvin Klein, black-and-white, with incredible eye contact.it’s about lifestyle, it’s sexy, and images are up close with cleavage”.
CEO Joe Gromek added to WWD: “It’s a very compelling campaign.”
Although actress Zoe Saldana presently appears in the ads for the Envy campaign for Calvin Klein Underwear, a spokesperson for the company insists Lara is not replacing Zoe as the face of the brand.
Lara joins a host of celebrities – including Pixie Geldof, Ruby Aldridge, Sky Ferreira, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Alice Dellal and Fei Fei Sun – who currently feature in a global advertising campaign shot by Steven Meisel for ck one.
The model – whose US size four figure is deemed ‘curvy’ by catwalk standards – has previously said she thinks her womanly figure has helped her become a success.
She said: “I’m different because I am fat. It would be nice if I wasn’t the only person with t*ts and an a**e.
“If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny I would be. I think of dieting, then I eat pizza. I’m a woman, and every woman wants to be thinner – unfortunately.”

It’s good news for Gisele Bundchen who has been named the world’s top earning model for the seventh year.
The Brazilian beauty has topped the list, compiled by Forbes.com, since 2004, but this year saw her income increase by a huge $20 million to earn $45million over one year.
Proof of Gisele’s star status enhancing brands is easy to find, as after becoming the face of hair care brand Pantene in March 2010, the company’s sales went up by 40% per cent in Latin America.
Despite earning so much the simple things in life please the supermodel, and she likes nothing more than to clean the house she shares with husband Tom Brady, their 16-month-old son Benjamin and her three-year-old stepson Jack.
Gisele said: “I love it. Cleaning the house is actually very therapeutic for me. Becoming a parent has given me a whole new perspective on life. I can’t put into words how much I love it.”
In second place in the poll is German model Heidi Klum, who earned $20 million through her recent partnership with website Amazon.com and launching her own clothing line with sportswear brand New Balance.
Third place went to British model Kate Moss, who made $13.5 million from deals including her own bag collection with brand Longchamp and a campaign for Christian Dior.

Lara Stone was shocked when she was recently asked if her breasts are real or not.
The stunning Dutch supermodel – who is married to British comedian David Walliams – revealed her famous natural assets were called into question on a shoot but it was all in the name of fashion.
She explained: “I was being tied up with a rope for a fashion story. Apparently if my boobs were fake they might have exploded under the pressure.”
Lara, 27, admitted she hates going to the gym but credits her fabulous figure on giving up alcohol.
She said: “I’ve never been good at going to the gym. The only thing that really changed for me is that I stopped drinking.
“My body kind of settled into a different place and I quite like it. My breasts have shrunk a bit, but really, I haven’t got too much to complain about!”
Lara has previously admitted she never considered herself to be model material because she was always unsure about her looks.
She said: “When I was a little girl growing up in Holland, I remember seeing the posters of Kate Moss in the Calvin Klein Obsession campaign and thinking, ‘Oh my God, she is amazing.’
“I never looked at those pictures thinking, ‘One day I want to do that’ or I want to be like her. It’ didn’t enter my head that this could be something I could do. It wasn’t even on my radar because I look exactly like a boy.
“But I love it. It’s still strong and sexy and amazing.”

Oozing glamour and drama at a Vogue anniversary party - not many girls could make dark shiny fabric look so good, but a supermodel like Lara can

Say what you will about supermodels and the debatable exclusivity of the inner circle of fashion, but Lara Stone is a model that’s difficult to dislike. With her disarmingly wholesome and beautiful, gap-toothed smile, her curves, which set her apart from every other ten-a-penny size zero clothes horse, and her own admission that she is “afraid of other females”, she’s one of the only famous models that we could imagine ourselves being best friends with. (If she’d let us, because we’re female). We want to hang out with her on the weekends with her comedian hubby David Walliams, drinking tea and watching Take Me Out on Sky Plus, and yes – raiding her wardrobe.
What we like about Lara’s personal style is how effortless and simple it seems. She never puts on too much eye glitter or wears a hideous assortment of garments that even Gok Wan would turn up his nose at – her outfits are always low-key and classic. It’s no wonder that she’s the face of Calvin Klein, one of the most classic minimal fashion houses practising today. Whether she’s wearing a spectacular party dress or a LBD, she always manages to look immaculate without appearing too studied. Want to see for yourself? Check out the gallery above for our favourite Lara looks.

Lara Stone is suing French Playboy, claiming it has published unauthorised pictures.
Our favourite model is furious that pictures taken by photographer Greg Lotus last year, have ended up on the pages of the magazine without her permission. However it is not known how the snaps, which include topless and full-frontal fashion images, made their way into the June/July issue.
Lara has now asked her lawyers to begin proceedings. She said in a statement: “It’s not the kind of publication I would ever choose to appear in. Playboy had no right to publish these unauthorised photographs. I feel I have no option but to take steps to protect my reputation.
We totally agree with Lara, she may not be adverse to appearing in the buff, doing so for a range of magazines in the past, but it’s wrong for Playboy to just steal these images.
We’ll keep you updated but in the meantime we’ve put together a gallery of some the photos that appeared in Playboy and some of the work Ms Stone should be proud of. Let us know what you think about this, and of her campaigns by leaving your comments below.

Last night seemed to be a bit of a party evening for a few celebs with many taking advantage of the British weather and hitting the town.
First on the London list was Amy Winehouse who resurfaced with a vengance. She started off the night in the Soho Jazz club looking fresh faced at cute in a gingham playsuit and ballet pumps. However her sober night didn’t last as she stumbled into Balans restaurant at three in the morning wearing a black dress and looking slightly worse for wear. According to reports she stayed at the diner until 5 (well it beats a kebab on the way home).
Looking far more sober, but also enjoying a meal was Lara Stone who stepped out with new hubby David Walliams for a bite to eat at Nobu. As always the model looked stunning in a simple white shift dress, which was a perfect choice for a summer night.
Next up was Pussy Cat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, who also opted for a cute strapless dress to party the night away in London’s clubs.
However Miley Cyrus went for a different outing. The singer dressed in shorts, t-shirt and on-trend peep toe ankle boots left her hotel in Nottinghill for a night out before returning half an hour later. What a waste of an outfit Miley.

Last week we told you Lara Stone had wed David Walliams in an alcohol free ceremony at Claridges hotel. However we were only able to get you snaps of the gold sequined Givenchy frock she changed into for the reception.
But that’s all changed now because we’ve managed to get a full length photo of her original, and wedding gorgeous dress she wore at the ceremony. Designed by Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci the rumoured £30,000 dress was simple, elegant and gave a slight nod to the medeival look with gold edged chain sleeves and gold detailing on the daring lace thigh high spilt.
We have to admit the model looks stunning. Click over to our sister site Bridalwave later on today where we’ll be giving you a Lara Stone get the look gallery.
