So last week the 2008 BET Awards were held in L.A., but who were the 10 best dressed celebs in attendance in my opinion?:



At number 10 is plastic rapper Lil' Kim. While her face may be ruined by cosmetic surgery, and her wig is worse than Tyra's, the pencil dress with plunging neckline is actually a pretty sexy fit and the purple colour is on trend.

I like the cute little bow shoes too! Now if only she got a new hairstylist and make-up artist...

Also rocking the purple trend at number 9 was the beautiful Nia Long, in a volumous plum mini dress. I love the draped grecian style, but the excessive volume on the hips isn't all that flattering. The colour however looks amazing on her.

Bringing a touch of glam and bling to the event at number 8 is Ashanti. I suppose she had to make an impact as she is back on the music scene with a new album, and that she did in her black floor-length gown, with thigh high split and sparkly silver chain embellishments.

The Marchesa Fall 2007 dress is a little over the top for me but her black sandals were frigging fantastic! I think a more sublte slit would have improved this look no end.

Alicia Keys is at number 7 because I absolutely love the colour of her strapless pink David Meister dress. The feisty singer teamed the simple dress with black and white Sergio Rossi shoes.

Hip-Hop video vixen's are not usually known for their class, but that's exactly what Angel Lola Luv exuded on the BET Awards Red Carpet last week, landing her at number 6 on my best dressed list.

The curvacious model's body looked stunning in a black dress with fitted bodice and flared skirt with tutu style netting underneath. In any other colour this could look costumey, but in black it looks sophisticated. However, I don't like her drap, flat hair style and the chunky gold necklace is unnecessary.

At number 5 is BET News presenter Danella looking lady like in a beautiful floral black chiffon gown with a plunging halter neck. The dress has the right amount of class and sexiness and the floral print is so fashionable right now.

Bringing some vibrant colour to the occassion at number 4 is the gorgeous Lauren London. Her yellow strapless mini dress looked fashion forward worn with her black Givenchy strappy open toe ankle boots and polka straight long hair.

And so now the top three, at number 3 is Jenece Johnson wearing a salmon pink version of the ever popular Herve Leger dresses with simple silver sandals and silver earrings. Sexy, bright and clean cut. I love it!

At number 2 is Keyshia Cole's stunning performance gown a tie dye chiffon gown with pure white bodice. Her red carpet look was too severe with her cropped hair cute and garish yellow volumous dress, but on stage later on she looked feminine and beautiful with her soft curls and glamorous gown.

The colour combination was beautiful showing that tie dye can be sophisticated and doesn't have to mean hippy!

And finally at number 1 is..................Rihanna! The queen of the red carpet strikes again in an attention grabbing, lemon Giambattista Valli Spring 2008 tiered gown.

The fitted bodice was delicate with its spaghetti straps, subtle frills and deep v-neck while the full-length, tiered skirt was perfect for twirling around the red carpet, as Rihanna did!

The thing that makes this whole look for me was her simple but stunning silver heart pendant, and her short cropped hair do allowed for the dress to take centre stage.

When is someone else gonna step up and take Rihanna's red carpet crown from her??

The 2008 Grammy Awards are tonight and I can't wait! But in the mean while, the hottest pre-Grammy party had to be the one thrown by music mogul Clive Davis in Beverly Hills yesterday!

One of the best dressed in my opinion was Carrie Underwood who looked gorgeous in a black and white layered strapless dress with a black bow worn with strappy black shoes.

I also loved Ashanti's fun and flirty black halter neck dress with a hot pink waist belt and matching pink peep toes. Unfortunatley Ashanti's hair ruined the look as it looked like she'd left in a curler or something!?

The American Idol girls continued to do well with Jordin Sparks looking great in a leopard print shift dress with a black waist band that defined her waist and gave her a fantastic shape.

And finally, looking amazing in colour was Fergie-licious in a feminine purple gown with an artistic floral print. I do love when Fergie sports pretty, softer looks to counteract her scary eyebrows and hard face! Mean, I know.

L-R: Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Dita Von Teese and Zhang Ziyi

I also thought Alica Keys looked lovely in a strapless cream and brown spotty gown, especially with her sleek straight hair.

Also in a neutral colour was Taylor Swift who went simple in a strappy cream babydoll dress which I think would have looked better with better shoes and less make-up.

Dita Von Teese stuck to her signature look in a gorgeous white Christian Dior Spring 2008 suit with beading and flower detail and finally the daring Zhang Ziyi looked surprisingly good in an unusual yellow dress. I think the matching yellow shoes are a step too far though!

The Heart Truth kicked off New York Fashion Week yesterday with their annual Red Dress Collection, where celebrities strut down the runway in red (and sometimes pink!) designer dresses to promote healthy hearts.

Super model Heidi Klum bounced down the runway in a cute layered Marc Jacobs dress and black courts, former model Molly Sims wore a sexy Swarovski crystal encrusted fitted dress and Ashanti opted for a pink strapless Tracy Reese number and showed off her gorgeous fringe!

L-R: Ana Ortiz, Maria Menounos and Joss Stone

There were also some celebs in fabulous evening gowns! Ana Ortiz looked to be having a great time in her tiered Badgley Mischka gown, Maria Menounos was regal in a stunning strapless Marchesa gown with silver detailing and British soul singer Joss Stone wore a classic strappy red Max Azria Atelier gown.

Get your red on ladies!

Black dresses were everywhere on the red carpet at this year's American Music Awards last night and some of my favs were worn by singers Fergie, Nicole Scherzinger and American Idol reject Kellie Pickler.

Fergie looked so much better than she usual does, all soft and feminine in her subtle make-up and centre parted curls. This is a huge change for the better Fergie and you look loads younger!! Her black, trapeze mini dress was so cute too and had a beautiful neckline to make it stand out.

Nicole Scherzinger opted for a very "now" fitted, black pencil dress and again added interest with an unusual neckline detail. I love her chunky black bracelet, sophisticated updo and platform heels!

Kellie Pickler dared to be different in her gorgeous, floor-length, chiffon gown with cut out sides and crossed over back straps. I think this look is super glam and I even love her Marilyn Monroe, platinum hairdo as it goes well with the vibe of the dress.

Whilst black was definatly the biggest trend of the night, quite a few ladies opted to wear varying hues of gold, including Ashanti in a yellowy-gold, Vanessa Hudgens in sparkly gold and Beyonce in metallic gold.

Ashanti played it safe in a floaty, bandeau ball gown with a ruffled train, teamed with a gold clutch and enormous earrings!

The stunning Vanessa Hudgens looked adorable and age appropriate in a sequined gold mini dress from Marc Bouwer with a gold arm cuff and loads of dark curls.

Finally, I'm a little on the fence with Beyonce's gold satin, fish-tail number. She definately has the figure to pull it off but I prefer the bottom of the dress to the top and the many chunky bracelets are too much. Also, she'd look so much classier with brunette locks, this cheap blonde colour harks back to the Survivor days of Destiny's Child.

And as they say, variety is the spice of life so here we have Ashley Tisdale in a very intricate, silver flapper-style dress, and Miley Cyrus looking bold and possibly a little age inappropriate in a gorgeous red, bubble dress with sparkly gold peep toes.

My fav looks of the night go to Fergie and Kellie Pickler in black and Vanessa Hudgens in gold. Which did you love/hate??

So far, no one has chosen the curly haired look as their preference in my poll, but I'm here to prove to you just how fabulously glam and sexy curls can be!:

Ashanti's new album "The Declaration" drops in 4 weeks, and is said to show her finally breaking free of the confines of Murder Inc and expressing herself. Her current hairstyle clearly refelcts this new found freedom as she is rocking bounds and bounds of glossy black curls. Her long hair is layered to give a full, healthy look to her curls and then centre parted and flattened on top for some truly glam style.

Comic actress Jenna Elfman wears her shoulder length blonde hair parted heavily to one side, and straight on top with big, slightly flicked out, curls. Her hair is tousled and natural looking, perfect for everyday style.

If you have naturally straight hair like mine and don't want to go for all over curls try Jaime Lynn Sigler's delicate look. Her shiny dark brown hair is worn natural with loosely curled ends. This look is sophisticated, soft and feminine and looks really beautiful.

For the bold brave ladies out there, try copying the stunning Ciara's super thick 80s style waves. This look is not for the faint hearted but if you like to stand out in a crowd with a cool and individual look, this could be for you!

Finally we have JT's squeeze, Jessica Biel bringing sexy back with her messy, defined, shoulder-length waves. With this shaggy style and blonde highlights, Jessica's look is simply sexy ;)

Tell me, do you like the curly look??

I've got a massive post for you all from the Fashion Rocks event yesterday. There were so many stars there, some getting it oh so right and some oh so wrong. Here are all the ones I could find from my least favourite, right down to me fav look of the night!


So we start with Teri Hatcher who looked a bit like a keyboard in her striped black and white gown and silver heels. The style of the dress is ok, in fact the top half is really nice but the fabric and stripes look ridiculous!

Also in a bit of a weird outfit was Tyra Banks who ruined a perfectly nice LBD with ankle boots, and an incredibly strange hairstyle. Does she not own a mirror?!

Actress Gina Gershon also attended, and while her outfit wasn't that bad it was a little underdressed for Fashion Rocks. Her black top with a ribbon was cute but maybe it would have been more appropriate if it was a dress.

The fabulous Kimora Lee was also there wearing a bin bag. I don't like this dress lol. Kimora rocks it anyway but she could have done a lot better in the style stakes.

The talented Alicia Keys showed up wearing a long black dress and strappy black sandals. Ok so this outfit isn't that bad but it's not that good either. The shoes like cheap and the length of the dress is just wrong. Her hair looks great though, very 70s!

Another singer at the event was Fergie who performed with Aerosmith and Ludacris. Whilst on the red carpet Fergie was sporting an unusual LBD. I like the skirt but the top half is just over the top and fussy. And why do her eyebrows look so weird? The shoes are cute though!

For more pics of Fergie

Ciara looked really beautiful yesterday in a floor length, pure white, gown. The style makes Ciara, who can sometimes look manly, seem really feminine and the silver details on the straps give her a bit of sparkle. I still think she could have done better though because there's nothing exciting about it.

Mary. J Blige made a style statement in this white trench coat worn as a dress a black berret and a pair of patent black courts. This look is very unusual but for some reason I kinda like it. What do you think?

Sophia Bush looked all sweet and smiley and wore a real cute little great dress to the event which she teamed with stylish black tights and patent black courts. I like this overall look but I'm not sure about the cut of the dress, could have been a little more flaterring.

Nicole Richie also showed up, baby bump and all, and combined the black and white theme of the evening into this zebra patterned chiffon gown. I'm not sure about the pattern but the style of the dress is really beautiful and Nicole looks great now she's gaining a bit of weight. Her bright gold accessories were bang on trend too.

The gorgeous Jessica Alba was on the red carpet looking sleek in her long black slinky dress and slicked back hair. I like the daringness of the chain detail down the dress but I don't really like the fit.

Country star LeAnn Rimes knows that sometimes simplicity is best so she showed up looking lovely ina simple black pencil dress with a black waist belt and black courts. Simple but effective.

It was nice to see Mya show up since I don't hear a lot about her lately and I'm a big fan. She bucked the black and white trend and instead opted for a tulip skirted brown bandeau dress with a waist belt and brown sandals. The colour and shape of the dress suited her really well and her hair looked lovely.

Buffy star Michelle Trachtenberg turned up looking like an ice queen with her pale skin, dark hair and loose white and silver dress. She looked very stylish and accessorised with a really cute clutch.

For more pics of Michelle

Michelle's love rival, Ashlee Simpson (Ashley now dates Michelle's ex boyfriend, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz) opted for the complete opposite look of blonde tanned california girl in a fitted black mini dress. The fit of this dress is really hot and the neckline and sleeves make it look stylish instead of trashy.

Carmen Electra wore a really cute vintage looking cream lace dress with a black ribbon and black peep toes to match. She also added a splash of colour with some daring bright red lipstick but I think this outfit would have looked a million times better if she'd tied her hair back off her face, it's just too much down like that.

Another country star at the event was ex American Idol-er Carrie Underwood who wore an absolutely beattiful little white dress. The cut is unusual but really flattering and her white clutch and gold sandals compliment the outfit pefectly. Her hair looks adorable in this side swept pony tail and her make-up is simple and elegant. All in all I think this look is great!

And finally to our top three. The bronze goes to the lovely Ashanti, who dazzled at the event in a goregous sparkly grey pencil skirt and a black vest tucked in. She accessorised with black peep toes with bows on the front, a black clutch and loads od stylish silver bangles. Her eye make-up was hot, her hair bouncy but my only complaint is that the black lining under the skirt should have been the length of the skirt because it looks a bit silly like that and keeps taking my attention from the rest of the outfit!

For more pics of Ashanti

Silver goes to Mischa Barton who actually turned up in a sleek metallic silver floor length gown. She looks statuesque and elegant here with her hair pulled back and subtle green eye make-up. This outfit is definalty an attention grabber and Mischa's the perfect person to carry it off.

And my gold look of the night goes to........Jennifer Lopez! Am I biased? I'm trying not to be but I do think she looked the best there! She wore this beautiful black flapepr inspired dress witha plunging neckline and gold sparkle. She teamed the flattering dress with unusal black stilettos that had roses on the front, a funky black and diamond wrap around bracelet and gold dangly earrings. Her skin was glowing as usual, her gold eye make-up matched perfectly and I even like her burgandy nail polish. Everything about this outfit is great!
