Divas and Darlings - Glamour Awards 2011

Red Carpet Fashion
Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2011

UK Glamour magazine held their annual 'Women of the Year' awards last night. The best female artists, actresses, presenters and singers were honoured at the event. There was such an assortment of styles on red carpet looks, here is the roundup. 


These fringed ladies had some unique outfits. Daisy Lowe kept her look fresh and interesting with a cropped Versace knit tip and striped skirt. She held a bright green clutch. Scottish actress Karen Gillan was simple and understated in a beige blouse and denim blue skirt. I like her casual vintage vibe and tousled hairdo. Singer Rachel Steven wore a leopard dress with black lace hem. I don't think it was meant to be a one-shoulder dress.

Louise Rednapp made a rare red carpet appearance in a fitted LBD with cutouts by Antonio Berardi. I barely recognized shock pop singer Jessie J. She looked so polished in a strapless sequin gown and retro curls. Gemma Arterton won 'Film Actress of the Year'. She wore a short-sleeve dress by Gucci with plaited belt. This look needed a pop of colour. Kim Kardashian took the award for 'Entrepreneur of the Year'. She was curvaceous in a (too) tight corset gown by Dolce and Gabbana. She was adorned in chunky Lorraine Schwartz jewels.


Radio personality Fearne Cotton wore a mustard satin dress by Miu Miu with tri-colour heels. Kirsty Gallacher looked so sleek and radiant in an apple green maxi gown. X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos stood out in cerise. I don't like the styling and black strappy heels with this dress. Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins wore a bright coral column gown with black strips by Victoria Beckham.

Printed dresses were at the bottom of the fashion barrel. Kristen Stewart wore Balmain. How many versions of the strapless mini can she wear? TV presenter Jameela Jamil wore the frozen waterfall frock from Ada Zanditon's AW 2011 line. This proves that 'frozen waterfalls' are not meant to be worn. At least JJ always carries interesting handbags. Pixie Geldof wears a bird printed tablecloth with pink lace trim. Actually, I don't think this would even do as a tablecloth. X Factor winner Alexandra Burke does such an injustice to this pink floral D&G gown. It looks like a satin nightie.
