Outfit Of The Day: Rita Ora on November 11th


Rita Ora was snapped on the red carpet of the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards in this deep red Marchesa gown from their Fall 2012 collection - this was actually the finale dress in the show.

Paired with diamond and gold Cartier rings and bracelets, the bold red lip and smoky make up make this a statement look, although I wish she didn't have roots - the blonde faux bob helps to draw the nude sheer part of the dress together and make the outfit feel more refined. The colour of the dress itself is perfect for her skintone and the wrapping of the skirt at the waist makes her look tiny without overwhelming her figure!

Rita has never really featured on my fashion radar before but I think this outfit in particular is impeccable, so I will definately keep a look out! This outfit is causing quite a stir amongst fashion bloggers, so I would love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments - do you love it or loathe it?

Last Night's Looks: 2012 Billboard Music Awards

Carrie Underwood walked the carpet at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards wearing an Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 Gown paired with a 'Cara' clutch and matching heels from the same designer. I think Carrie looks like a princess with her long blonde hair tumbling over her shoulders and the epic frothiness of the dress. It suits her figure perfectly, I like the accessories she paired with it and her neutral make-up makes her look eau-natural! Love the whole look - definately my favourite from the night.


Alicia Keys wore a very close fitting Azzedine Alaia Couture gown in what I can only describe as a mixture between a really dark berry colour and black. She definately has an amazing figure that can totally rock this dress but the fact there is nothing to draw your attention away from the flatness of the colour kind of disappointed me - I would have loved it to be backless or feature a lace back. I love the braided hair all pinned up, the layering of Repossi earrings and the bold make-up which gives her an edge.


Jordin Sparks wore a Diane von Furstenberg ‘Zarita’ lace dress which she paired with black DVF sandals and David Yurman jewelry. I love the scalloped edges, the floral pattern and three-quarter length sleeves on this dress - it looks sexy and professional all at the same time. Liking that she rocked the side ponytail all ruched and messed up - its one of my favourite hairstyles and I love seeing celebs rocking it too. The shoes are a bit boring but overall I really love the look!


Miley Cyrus wore a white Jean Paul Gaultier jacket as a dress which she paired with black and white Christian Louboutin heels and Jacquie Aiche jewelry. The hair looks far too old for her - she's still a late teen but this hair looks like its from a 40 year old woman (the cut and the colour). That body chain she's wearing seems to be supporting her boobs (which look rubbish in this dress) and the shoes look like a last minute add-on to the outfit. Her figure looks great and wearing a jacket as a dress was very daring but I don't think on this occasion she pulled it off.

Last Night's Look: 2012 Academy Awards

Emma Stone wore a stunning floor-length high-necked Giambattista Valli Couture gown in a deep red colour. The dress looks sleek and sophisticated whilst the bow detail on the neckline really gives it a quirky, young twist. I like how she styled her hair up as the dress is quite busy and needs simple make-up and hair looks to not look too overdone. She also added a Louis Vuitton Clutch and Louis Vuitton jewelry to finish her outfit.

The 2012 Academy Awards were held last night (February 26th) at the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles. The creme de la creme of stars turned out including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lopez and even the Prince and Princess of Monaco!

These are some of my favourite looks from the red carpet - what were yours?

Cameron Diaz wore a strapless floor-length Gucci Premiere gown in a very pale nude colour with Salvatore Ferragamo heels. I adore the simple bodice combined with the embellishment at the top of the skirt and the layers of fabric as it flows beautifully to the floor in an almost dreamlike manner. She paired it with a simple make-up look and added a side parting to her bob which I think looks fabulous and really brings the whole look together.


Kate Mara posed on the red carpet in a floral embellished floor-length Jack Guisso Couture gown. This looks is very romantic with the flowiness of the skirt, the pale pink colour and the draped one sleeve. I like how she's added the pale pink belt to as it helps define a figure that could have been lost in the dress otherwise. Her make-up and hair are simple but lovely however I wish she'd added a simple diamond necklace to this look because she looks very bare in the shoulder area.

Kristin Wiig wore a strapless J. Mendel Fall 2012 dress in a nude colour. I love the skirt on this dress - it looks so dreamy with its fun layers although its not the most flattering shape. As with many of the female celebs looks at the Oscars, Kristin kept her make-up very simple but I do think it would have looked great with a bolder lip or eyes to draw away from the constant nude colours. She also kept her hair very simple which works well.
