Oscars 2010: Best dressed

By Andrea Petrou on March 7th, 2010

We have to admit we were very impressed with the Oscar 2010 dresses, and for once in any awards event there were hardly any shockers.

However, we decided to whittle it down to six this year (and believe us it’s taken alot of time to decide) or we’d have to put nearly every attendee in.

So who made the list and why? First on the list is Brit newcomer (and Lauren’s fashion favourite) Carey Mulligan, who really stood out in a cutting edge Prada gown. However, she didn’t let the red carpet glamour swallow her style. Her dress was embellished with tiny metal keys and pairs of scissors.

And it seems the Brits are on a style roll because coming up a close second isKate Winslet.

We also have to include Sarah Jessica Parker who wore a rather unique Chanel Couture frock. Ladies be warned, the “neck strap” trend will be coming to a highstreet store near you very soon.

However it would be unfair to give a special mention to Sandra Bullock, who picked up the award for Best Actress for her role in Blind Side, and for once showed she really had style in a vintage fabric beaded long dress.

Coming up forth and fifth are Meryl Streep, who showed that just like her Devil wears Prada role, she really has a sense of style in a white cowl neck dress, and Demi more who wore an on-trend nude ruffled frock.

Do you agree with our decisions? Leave your comments below and let us know.

Oscars 2010: Kate Winslet, Diane Kruger and Kristen Stewart wow on the red carpet

By Andrea Petrou on March 7th, 2010

We’ve been so excited about some actresses dresses this year and have been guessing for a while what each one will be wearing. One such celeb that kept our curiosity buzzing was brit beauty Kate Winslet, who always pulls off great looks at events.

And she didn’t disappoint with her silverpanelled bodice and matching satin skirt. But it wasn’t just the outfit. The actress also shone (quite literally) with her blonde locks, which she left down.

Other A-listers to grace the carpet were Twighlight star Kristen Stewart, who actually made a huge effort in a black fishtail frock. However, even this wasn’t enough to put a smile on the sulky starlet’s face.

However, Diane Kruger, who wowed in Chanel Couture and Cameron Diaz were there with smiles.

Oscar 2010 red carpet predictions: Helen Mirren

By Andrea Petrou on March 7th, 2010

This year iconic British actress Helen Mirren has been nominated for her role in The Last Station. Avid followers of Mirren’s red carpet style will know that the actress always looks elegant in beaded and sleeved frocks made of taffeta, silk and sheer fabrics, which really give her the edge over some other stars.

For the 2007 Oscars the 64 year old, who claims she is “always a mess” unless walking the red carpet, opted for a cream and gold rouched frock by Christian Lacroix with three quarter length beaded sleeves, which she teamed up with Jimmy Choos. She carried on the tradition in 2008 where she opted for a an elegant vibrant red custom-made Georges Chakra satin gown, embellished with Swarovski crystal sleeves and again in 2009 when her slinky frock screamed sophistication, and dare we say, royalty.

So will Dame Helen continue the elegant theme tonight?

We have a strong suspicion she might, and if the rumour mill is anything to go by she may be wearing Christian Lacroix. However it may not be a new style; apparently she asked her publicist if she could pull an old Lacroix out of her closet that she wore to the Oscars a couple years ago.

We have to admit we like her thinking.

Thankfully Victoria has gone some way to ease our curiousness, if her claims in today’s Sunday Times are anything to go by.

Speaking about her A/W 2010 collection the singer, turned all round fashionista said: “Dick Tracy and the 1940s have inspired my [latest] collection.”

She then went on to pinpoint a nude off the shoulder frock [pictured], which she claimed was the “perfect red-carpet dress.

“I’m tempted to wear it to the Oscars myself,” she added.
