I’ve had this dress saved in my favourites for about six weeks now. I’ve no idea why, really: I mean, it’s not like I’m going to suddenly look into my wallet and say “why, here is a spare £510 I didn’t know I had – I will buy my beloved Alberta Ferretti dress with it!” No, I am doomed to only ever just look at this dress. But now it’s here, on my blawg, at least you lot can all look at it too, right?

I think Anna Wintour’s expression says it all, really:
Seriously, I’ve had nightmares where I’m out dressed like this. You know those dreams where you look down and suddenly realise that you forgot to put on your skirt – and worse, you’re wearing you biggest, ugliest pair of granny knickers? Well, Sienna is living the dream, folks – or that nightmare, rather, and we’re sending her straight to fashion jail for it. Sienna? You need to get over this whole "I’m so pretty I can wear anything and get away with it, and people will totally just think how quirky and stylish I am," thing you’ve got goin’ on. No, you can’t get away with just wearing a pair of control-top knickers. No, we won’t all be searching eBay for "Sienna’s big pants" in a few weeks time. Now, go and get dressed, woman…

Awards season must totally suck when you play Ugly Betty, no? I mean, you think you have a hard time deciding what to wear, imagine what it must be like being America Ferrera, with everyone watching you and wondering whether you’re going to be, well, ugly, or not? Well, she needn’t have worried: she is anything but ugly. This is such a flattering choice of dress – gorgeous shape, gorgeous colour, and HOT DAMN, would you look at the gorgeous curves on the woman?!

Oh, holy hell, Beyonce, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit… Did your mom make this dress for you? Did you make the fatal mistake of thinking, “Hell, my body is HAWT, I can totally get away with a shiny, bacofoil dress split RIGHT DOWN TO MY BELLY BUTTON, HA!” Did you, Beyonce? Because we are here to tell you you were wrong. What makes it worse? It’s the pose, Beyonce, the pose. Why did you do it to yourself?

My irrational hatred of Jennifer Lopez makes it hard for me to say this, so I’m just going to come right out with it: nice dress J.Lo. And also: well done – you managed to do understated chic, without so much of a whiff of your usual “Look at me! LOOK AT ME! I AM J.LO! JENNY FROM THE BLOCK, Y’ALL!” Well, OK, maybe just a whiff…

Hey look, Kate Winslet came as a bride too! How about that, then? Actually, Kate’s lookin’ pretty good too: but then, she always does, doesn’t she? Maybe just a wee bit pale for the dress, bit otherwise, take a Fashion Police gold star, girl. Just make sure you don’t go drinking any red wine…

Now, I ask you: does this look to you like a dress that has been hand-made by a team of designers working around the clock because its owner threw a strop, decided she didn’t have A THING to wear, and threatened to thkweam and thkwean until she was SICK unless they made something JUST FOR HER, pronto?
Nope, didn’t think so.
Grey, it is not a great colour for an evening dress, Angelina, and while there is a certain argument says you’d look good in a sack, there’s really no need to try it and see, is there? Perhaps the black woulda been the better bet after all…

You know, a lot of people have been expecting us to bring poor ol’ Cameron in for this dress, but actually? I like it. Yes, I know, it surprised me too. It’s maybe not so much a Golden Globes dress, but hey, it would look pretty at a wedding – in fact, I’m pretty sure Monique Lhuillier put something a lot like this down her catwalk recently. Her bridal catwalk, that is.
All of that said, I think Cam’s looking mighty fine here. Love the drak hair/red lips/alabaster skin thing she’s got going on, and while, OK, this was an unusual choice for an awards show, I think it was a pretty brave one, and I think it just about paid off. So there.
Another one after the cut….

 Pity poor Angelina Jolie, folks. As the current face of luxury fashion label, St. John, Angelina is contractually obliged to wear their clothes from time to time, with one of those occasions being this week’s Golden Globes ceremony. Angelina, however (looking lovely here in an image from the company’s website) is rumoured to be seriously unimpressed with St. John’s current collection – so much so that the company has been forced to design her a new gown from scratch.
St. John have reportedly created two one-off designs just for Angelina, one in black and one in grey. Will they meet with Jolie’s approval? Well, we don’t have long to wait to find out…

As perhaps the only person in the whole entire world who doesn’t look good in wrap dresses (they make me look frumpy and old, and Lord knows I can do without that, thanks very much), Diane Von Furstenberg is a designer who doesn’t really float my boat all that often. I’m making an exeption for this ‘Betty’ dress, though, which is very cute in a “mini mouse would wear this” kind of way, and which is down to £259 in the Net-a-Porter sale.
