Yesterday Barclaycard hosted the Mercury Music Awards at London’s Grosvenor House, and the music talent was out in full force to see who would pick up an award.

Everyone’s favourite female singer, Adele, worked her classic look of black vintage glamour in a lace collared cocktail dress with a sweeping up-do and heels. We seriously think that Adele might be one of our new favourite women ever – no one works an LBD like she does. Also working a similar look was Lauren Laverne in a cute cape-sleeved black shift dress – j’adore.

Miss Dynamite looked sexy in a 70s glamourpuss way in a ruched black clinging gown with what suspiciously looked like Nicholas Kirkwood heels – oooooh. She’s come such a long way from tracksuits and scraped-back hair, no?

Iconic female rocker PJ Harvey opted for an unusual draped white gown with dramatic smokey eye-makeup and an unusual spiky hair fascinator. We love PJ Harvey but we can’t work out if we equally love her outfit. Write YES or NO on the back of a postcard, readers… Meanwhile, Katy B showed off her hourglass figure in a cool stretchy jersey graphic-printed dress and left her red ringlets loose.

Check out the gallery above to see who we spotted at the Mercury Music Awards.

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.

Oscars 2010: Kristen Stewart goes back to the dark side

By laurenbravo on March 7th, 2010

oscar_arrivals_019_wenn5440213.jpgShe may have had an uncharacteristically girlie moment in her short white frock at the BAFTAs, but tonight Kristen Stewart returned to her vampish roots with this dramatic satin number. Earlier this week we guessed that the Twilight saga star might opt for black (see us proved right here), though her recent penchant for mini dresses had us predicting she’d go for an LBD, not this floor-sweeping slice of old-school Hollywood.

We were also pleased to see that the Twilight saga star had put a little more polish into her look this time round (or, to go straight for the jugular, she’d actually washed her hair). And is that a smile we spy?

In the space of one awards season, the actress seems to have grown from sulky teen into a fully-fledged starlet. From Bella Swann to red carpet swan… top marks.
