Brits to Watch Red Carpet Event 2011

This was one star studded night as everyone from Ms. Kidman to Gossip Girl Blake arrived on the red carpet in high style. But the most A-list attendee of the evening were royal newlyweds, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (AKA: William and Kate). Below I rate the celebs' looks.




Tea Length Vintage

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta : 9/10


Love the short flirtier hemline and the matchy satin of the heels. Snow White hair completes this fairytale look.


McQueen For a Day

Duchess Catherine in McQueen: 10/10

Such a divine color! Simple, comfortable and stunning describes this look. Just wish she did something different with her hair.


Grecian Goddess

Blake Lively in Marchesa: 9/10


While I think Blake looks amazing in this one-shoulder number, I feel like she keeps doing the same look: long, flowy and bejeweled. Love that she's a blonde again however!

In the Nude

Leslie Mann in L'Wren Scott: 3/10

Okay so don't even get me started on this attire. Maybe she thought her tan was darker than the dress, or maybe she thought the under lining was the actual dress. Either way, wearing your skin tone isn't cool. Squint your eyes and it appears like Leslie has nothing on or is an air brushed Barbie.

Bronze Diva

Kristin Chenoweth in BCBG Max Azria: 15/10


Always a fan of Kristin's big personality and singing voice, I now can say that her look matches that superstar quality about her. It's not easy to pull off bronze without looking cheap, but Miss Broadway does so with absolute ease. Love the shape it gives her petite frame and the glam-ified sleek hair.

Super Size Me

Jennifer Garner: 2/10


I am usually a huge fan of Jennifer's red carpet style (typically provided by Rachel Zoe). But for this event she just looks sad in an over-size ill fitting gown. She picked the right color in navy, but a chunky peep-toe, saggy mid section and been-there-done-that hair brings this whole look down.

Body-Con Cuts

JLo in Emilio Pucci: 8/10


This sexy look screams for attention, but while I like the idea of it's serpent queen quality, JLo doesn't quite pull it off. We all know that she has a killer body for someone of her age, but to constantly throw that info in our faces every red carpet is getting old (pun intended). And long sleeves in the summer? no excuse.

Feeling Blue


Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Reem Acra: 20/10


This is one of my favorite looks of the night. Olivia Wilde wore a similar shape Reem Acra gown to the Golden Globes a couple years back but Gugu takes it to a new level in majestic cobalt blue. I have a fashion weakness for cap-sleeves and draped jersey, so this gown is heaven. Simple hair and pearl drop earrings complete her stunning look.

All Buttoned Up



Elizabeth Banks in Versace: 5/10


Don't get me wrong, I love a good Versace showstopper. But this white gown stopped me for the wrong reasons. First of all, the buttons on the shoulder is weird and the gold-on-gold accessories is too much. It's just seems like this would have worked as a shorter dress for a more causal event. Plus that side ponytail is too "young" for mature Versace any day.


Icy in Elie

Nicole Kidman in Elie Saab: 10/10


Recently Nicole has been "missing" in the red carpet style department, but this lovely look puts her back on top in my opinion. The pale blue is the perfect compliment against her creamy skin tone and subdued strawberry red hair. Plus the deep v-neck and fitted waist flatters her tall slim figure wonderfully. She just looks so youthful and fresh.

20's Bohemian


Cat Deeley in Dior: 6/10


The host of So You Think You Can Dance? took a note from Nicole Kidman's book, and wore a light blue hue as well. This one, however, doesn't quite work. While I am a huge fan of Cat's style and massive vintage designer collection, this ill-fitting Dior gown flunks out for me. I like the idea of a 20's like drop-waist, but then the dress should have been knee length. Also the fabric looks messy like bedsheets. Love the wavy golden hair though.
