Top five celebrities wearing Victoria Beckham dresses on the red carpet
Victoria Beckham has achieved what many singers, actresses and models all desire. She’s created a successful fashion range, which is taken seriously by the style world.
Unlike many stars which have ventured into this industry hoping their name is enough to sell their ranges, Victoria has grafted hard to achieve her status as a respected designer, showing at New York fashion week and creating ranges we all want.
She’s also become a “must have” label for stars to be seen in on the red carpet. Last year Cheryl Cole showed her old pal some serious style satisfaction wearing a light pink creation on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet.
However, she’s not the only one with the range grabbing the attention of Gisele Bundchen, Kate Winslet and most recently Michelle Williams who wore a short patterned number for the 2012 Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon.
See the gallery below for our top five celebrities wearing VB’s designs on the red carpet.
Celebrity red carpet trends: White dresses
Every year, around this time, we begin to see a pattern in celebrity red carpet dress choices.
The Golden Globes are over for another year, the SAG awards are over and the Oscars are heating up.
This awards season one trend has really made a stand and that’s the white dress.
However, unlike last seasons, this frock has been transformed from the white wedding ball style gown into a sleek straight number seen on the likes of Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, Kelly Osbourne and hundreds more A-listers.
Some give a nod to the sixties with short hems and lace, while others are more seventies with billowing sleeves and sparkles. We can’t wait to see what other trends emerge on the red carpet later on this year.
See the gallery below for our top five ladies in white on the red carpet.
Pictures: National Television Awards red carpet dresses
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.

Red carpet Christmas outfit inspiration: Rooney Mara at the Girl with the Daragon Tattoo premiere and all the style from the Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol premiere
When we’re having an “I don’t know what to wear” moment one of the places we’ll have a sneaky look at is red carpet events.
They are, afterall, a mecca for best dressed celebrities who have often been given top styling advice.
If you’re still stuck with what to wear to a smart Christmas party or for New Years eve then why not take some inspiration from girl of the moment Rooney Mara who went for a stunning white fishtail frock at the London premiere of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo?
If that’s a little bit too much then Caprice showed how effective a simple red strapless dress could be at the Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, while Talula also showed how faux fur can be stylish and keep you snug at the same event.

Christmas party dress inspiration from the red carpet premieres of New Year’s Eve and W.E
If you’re looking for inspiration for that Christmas party outfit then this week’s red carpet events will give you just that.
Yesterday a huge host of A-listers turned up on the New Year’s Eve premiere red carpet in a range of frocks. Lea Michele shone in a stunning off-white long frock- perfect for more formal occasions – while Fergie and Hilary Swank went for embellished short numbers, which we think are perfect for that night out on the tiles.
Over on the W.E premiere red carpet Madonna sported the skinny jeans and blazer, which is a perfect alternative for frock fearing ladies, while Chloe Sevigny showed how to vamp up a Christmas party outfit in a red dress.

Christmas party outfits: The Red dress
It’s not long before many of us will be kicking off our court shoes and shedding that work attire for that office Christmas party.
But once our office disguise is off, there comes the other problem and that’s what to wear.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been giving you some ideas but if they still haven’t rocked your boat then why not consider wearing a red dress.
This hue is not only a traditional Chrimbo colour, but also currently hot in celebrity circles and a common look on the red carpet.
Depending on where your boss has decided top take you go all sexy with a bodycon style or play it safe, yet stylish with a skater skirt number.
Below are our top five.
