Best Dressed at Cannes 2014

Every year the international Festival de Cannes is held in Cannes, France. It celebrates films from around the globe and each year many famous faces turn up to either promote their own films or to see the premieres. Cannes 2014 attracted a large amount of glamorous celebrities this year and here are my best dressed from the festival and red carpets. 

Blake Lively

My best dressed over the week and a half had to be Blake Lively! She dazzled in everything she wore. I love how different each of her looks were for her different appearances. She first stunned in a gorgeous burgundy Gucci Premiere red dress with a long plait. Then for a TV interview appearance she wore a beautiful short floral Giambattista Valli dress. Then she re-appeared on the red carpet in a beautiful Chanel dress and finally topped all of the looks with her graceful black and white Gucci Premiere gown, accompanied by her husband Ryan Reynolds. Her hair and makeup also looked great at each of her appearances. 

Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman looked magnificent in this long white Marchesa dress. I love the intricate design around the shoulders and neckline.

Eva Longoria

White was very popular this year with Eva Longoria also sporting this beautiful white Gabriela Cadena gown that almost looked like a wedding dress. Maybe all the celebrities were just too excited for Kim Kardashian's wedding! I love the fit of this dress on Eva and the detailing down the side makes this dress pop. Her hair and makeup looked fantastic too. 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie looked amazing as per usual on the Red Carpet. I loved all her fashion choices this year from the elegant strapless silver Gucci Premiere gown to a more risque Cushnie Et Ochs dress with a long slit to show off her supermodel legs. 

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain also consistently impressed with her fashion choices at Cannes. I love the bright and varied colours she chose for different events. She wore a bold blue Versace dress, a flowing Elie Saab purple gown, a short patterned Alexander Mcqueen dress and finally she wore an elegant and classic black Givenchy gown. 

Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner stunned in this chic Chanel dress. The Kardashian sister certainly seems to be enjoying her new supermodel status as she posted tonnes of pics on her trip to Cannes. The lucky 18 year old then went on to Paris and Florence for her big sister Kim's wedding to Kanye West. 

Cheryl Cole

Cheryl looked stunning on the Cannes Red Carpet. I love how she went for a glamourous Monique Lhuillier black dress that was exciting and different.

Best Dressed at the Oscars 2014

On Sunday night it was the 86th Academy Awards ceremony and many star studded guests attended. All I could say when watching the Oscars red carpet this year was Wow! Everyone looked amazing and I was so impressed with the fashion compared to all other red carpets of the award season. Here are my Best Dressed from the night: 

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet. This was the best dress she has worn, and that's saying something considering the amazing dresses she has worn on the other red carpets this year. She definitely saved the best til last. Lupita said that the light blue Prada dress was designed to look like champagne bubbles and that she chose the blue colour because it reminded her of home. She has been the most consistent on the red carpets this year and for a newcomer that is pretty impressive!

Amy Adams

Amy Adams looked great in this blue strapless Gucci dress. The shape was flattering on her and I preferred this dress to all others she has worn to award ceremonies this year.

Jennifer Lawrence

Although this Dior dress wasn't my favourite of the night, I still think Jennifer Lawrence looked so good at the Oscars. This orange peplum dress has been her best of award season too. Unfortunately J-Law fell again at the Oscars this year but luckily it wasn't on stage, it was on the red carpet instead.  

Margot Robbie

I really liked Margot Robbie's embellished Saint Laurent dress on the red carpet and I liked her hairstyle and dark lip to go with it. However her overall look didn't quite look right. I think the hair colour was too dark compared to her usual blonde and her eyebrows were quite strong too. I still think she was one of the best dressed though and I liked the added detail of the bow on the back.

Leonardo Di Caprio

The Best Dressed man of the night had to be Leonardo DiCaprio. Unfortunately he didn't win the Oscar for Best Actor in the Wolf of Wall Street (which he deserved!) If it was up to me he'd win an Oscar for this suit. 

Emma Watson

Emma Watson looked glamorous as always on the red carpet in this Vera Wang dress. I like how this metallic dress was split into two different colours and was slightly sheer. I loved her hair and makeup too!

Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock looked so elegant in this Alexander McQueen dress. I think it's the best one she's worn all award season and I loved the old Hollywood style hair matched with the strapless style. 

Angelina and Brad

The Best Dressed couple of the night was definitely Brad and Angelina in my opinion, they just always know how to get it right and make each other look good. Brad looked dapper in a simple black tuxedo and Angelina looked beautiful as per usual in a glittery beaded Ellie Saab gown. Unfortunately the famous Angelina Jolie leg pose didn't make it to the red carpet this year. 

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett looked incredible in this embellished Armani Prive dress. She is another celebrity who has been quite consistent across the award seasons but this style really suited her and made her stand out more among the other celebrities at the Oscars.

Best Dressed at the BRIT Awards 2014

This week has been the week of all things British, starting with the beginning of London Fashion Week (see Jess' favourite runway shows from LFW here), then the BAFTA Awards (see my best dressed at the BAFTAs here) and finally ending with the BRIT Awards. There were so many star studded guests at the awards this year including Pharrell Williams, One Direction, Katy Perry and Beyonce. Here are my best dressed from the BRIT Awards 2014.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked incredible in this sparkly red and black dress Saint Laurent dress showing off her famous long legs. The supermodel presented an award to One Direction on the night. 

Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams was one of the best dressed men of the night in this metallic Lanvin suit. He performed with Nile Rodgers at the end of the ceremony (which was so good!). Unfortunately he wasn't wearing his famous Vivienne Westwood  Mountie hat. 

Pixie Lott

Pixie Lott looked great in this long white DKNY dress with a slit. I love the silver shoes and the small white handbag she coordinated with the dress. Also this style is so flattering on her. 

Kimberley Walsh

Kimberley Walsh looked beautiful in this see through Blumarine rose printed dress. Her makeup and hair looked fantastic as well, as always. 

Ellie Goulding

Although I disliked her red carpet Vivienne Westwood dress, Ellie Goulding looked great at the actual ceremony. She wore an embellished Julien Macdonald gown when she accepted her award for Best Female Solo Artist. 

Beyonce

The best dressed of the night had to be Beyonce, hands down! She looked stunning in a turquoise sequined Vrettos Vrettakos dress. The dress hugged her figure perfectly and her hair and makeup looked just as good. Her performance was the best moment of the night. 

Worst Dressed - Kylie Minogue

One of the worst dressed of the night for me had to be Kylie Minogue. The shiny latex William Wilde dress was just terrible and the huge bow across the front made it worse.  Also the bits of white made it look even more tacky.

The Best Dressed of the BAFTA Awards 2014

Last night was the 67th BAFTA Awards ceremony. Many stars turned up to the event including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and many more. There were some great dresses (and tuxedos) last night, and here are my best dressed from the red carpet. 

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita has been the best dressed across all of the award ceremonies so far, and for a newcomer that is so impressive. She chooses such beautiful colours and dresses and none have been similar but all have been special and fashionable in their own way. I love this gorgeous green coloured Dior dress on Lupita and the gold accessories go really well with it. I can't wait to see what she'll wear to the Oscars!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Brad and Angelina impressed in their matching tuxedos. Angelina looks fantastic in her Saint Laurent suit and her's certainly upstaged Brad's!

Amy Adams

I'm so happy Amy Adams chose this Victoria Beckham dress. I haven't been impressed with her dresses so far but this one is so beautiful. It looks so flattering on her figure and the dark lip and scraped back hair go so well with this look. 

Leonardo DiCaprio

Best dressed man of the night was definitely Leonardo DiCaprio. He looked fantastic in his Armani suit. He didn't win an award at the BAFTA's but let's hope he has better luck at the Oscars!

Helen Mirren

The Fellowship Award winner, Helen Mirren, looked amazing in this sparkly Jacques Azagury dress. She proved that you can look amazing on a red carpet no matter what your age is!

Naomie Harris

Naomie Harris looked great in this pink Gucci dress. I love the plunging neckline and the slit showing off her legs matched with the long sleeves to make the dress look so elegant on her. 

Samantha Barks

Samantha Barks stunned in this chic white Calvin Klein dress. Her simple but effective makeup and hair went so well with this look too. 

Worst Dressed

Lily Allen

The worst dressed of the night has to be Lily Allen in this Vivienne Westwood dress. The bright pink and orange do not go well together and not only clash with each other but also the red carpet. To top off this bad look Lily included a strange bright pink headpiece that just wasn't suitable for a red carpet award ceremony like the BAFTAs.

Best Dressed at the Grammys 2014

On Sunday night it was the 56th annual Grammy award ceremony. Some of the most important people in music turned up including Beyonce and Jay-Z, Madonna, Paul McCartney and many more. Not only was the Grammys a great night for music, it was also a great night for fashion. The stars looked amazing on the Red Carpet and here is my list of people that I think were the Best Dressed of the night:

Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys looked amazing in this royal blue plunging Armani Privé dress. I like how she had minimal accessories with this look because the deep plunge and black detailing are quite dramatic. I love her hair here too. 

Katy Perry

Katy Perry wore a very fitting musical note Valentino dress to the Grammys. Although this isn't a traditional dress I think it was perfect for the Grammys and it couldn't be worn better anywhere else. The full flowing sheer skirt looked beautiful on Katy and her hair and accessories made her look almost regal. 

Ciara

Ciara showed how to look beautiful with a baby bump in this sparkly bronze Emilio Pucci dress. Her hair looked amazing too because it looked really laid back and minimal compared to the strong detailing and sparkle on the dress. 

Madonna

Madonna and her son David looked so good in their matching Ralph Lauren suits. I think without David, Madonna wouldn't have made the best dressed list, but with him by her side with his cool attitude they definitely deserve a place for wearing something different and pulling it off so well together. 

Anna Faris

Although some have said Anna Faris' strapless Fitriani gown wasn't bold enough for the Grammys and was perhaps more fitting for a film award ceremony, I personally think she looks fantastic. The navy blue colour looks great on her and is very on trend for next season and the length of the dress and the detailing around her hips makes the dress more interesting compared to a plain navy blue dress. Also who can blame her for wearing a dress more suited for film award ceremonies? She is an actress after all. 

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift also looked great on the Red Carpet in a Gucci Premiere dress. She was another celebrity who pulled out the sparkly trend and it really worked for her. I like the contrasting belt around her waist which looks so flattering and her hair pulled back into a pony tail really pulls the whole look together. 

Beyonce and Jay-Z

And Finally the it couple of the night, Beyonce and Jay-Z. Beyonce looked so gorgeous in her white lace Michael Costello dress that really showed off her amazing figure and Jay Z looked very dapper beside her. I love the bold lip and casual curls that Beyonce went for with this dress.

I also think Beyonce deserves another spot on the Best Dressed List due to her outfit for her performance of Drunk In Love for Jay Z. She looked incredible on stage in her La Perla Cage Collection bustier with crystal Saint Laurent tights, and the look worked so well with the song. Their performance was definitely one of the best moments of the night.

Best Dressed at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards 2014

Last Saturday was the SAG or Screen Actor's Guild Awards and the red carpet looks were all gorgeous. After a disappointing Golden Globes Red Carpet, I was so happy to see some beautiful dresses for the SAG Awards. Here is my Best Dressed from the Red Carpet:

Lupita Nyong'o

The 12 Years A Slave actress stunned once again in this turquoise Gucci dress. Being a newcomer to red carpets she really has impressed both here and at the Golden Globes. I can't wait to see what she wears next on the red carpet. 

Isla Fisher

Isla Fisher pulled off a beautiful Old Hollywood glamour look with her long red locks and silky Oscar de la Renta dress. Isla's makeup and accessories were gorgeous too and worked so well with her bombshell dress and hair. 

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence looked so much better than she did at the Golden Globes. This sequined Christian Dior dress was much more flattering and stylish than her white Dior dress. 

Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara stunned once again in this gorgeous sparkly Donna Karan dress. This was very similar to her Golden Globe after party dress but this look works so well for her famous curves. Her hair and makeup looked great too. 

Anna Gunn

Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn looked amazing in this blue halter Monique Lhuillier gown. I especially loved her Edie Parker Breaking Bad themed clutch bag to match. 

Hannah Simone

New Girl's Hannah Simone also impressed in this flowing Marchesa dress. I love her hair up with this dress too because of the detail in the collar and the colour looks great on her.

 Sandra Bullock

I was so happy with the split Lanvin dress that Sandra Bullock chose for these awards as I was so disappointed with her baby pink, blue and black dress at the Golden Globes. However this dress is so much more stylish and works wonders for her and I'm glad she really stepped up her look for this red carpet.
