Lights, Camera, Fashion: 2011 Academy Awards No.1 the risk takers

These women are always going to be top of my list because they know how to take a risk and still rock the red carpet by standing out for all the right reasons and sometimes the wrong. The beautiful Cate Blanchett was all about the structure and detail but still keeping it feminine, while Scarlett Johansson's dress colour stood out on the red carpet along with the open back and lace detail.

Lights, Camera, Fashion: 2011 Academy Awards

Sunday 27th February was a night not to be forgotten why? Because it was all about the Oscar glamour. We saw a lot of bright reds on the red carpet, definitely a lot of detail, structure and loads of crystals. Check out my risk takers, the men and of course the best dressed.

It all comes down to this

Good evening people, I hope your all well and had a lovely weekend, so tonight is the night of all nights, that's right people my favourite award ceremony The 83rd Annual Academy Awards aka the Oscars. The red carpet will be filled with the most prestigious actors, directors & screen writers etc. I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful fashion gowns & pieces from the likes of Versace, Monique Lhuillier, Tom Ford & Christian Louboutin to name a few.

This years competition is tough in terms of the films themselves, the performances from the actors and of course the direction from the most talented & well known directors of all time. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it, the decision will be tough but I'm intrigued to see what the results will be.

The show will be hosted by the very handsome James Franco who is up for Best Actor in "127 hours" and alongside him will be the very beautiful Anne Hathaway. After seeing all their promo work for the ceremony tonight it sure looks to be full of laughs & tongue in cheek humour which is always needed at shows like these. This is probably the first time I've seen the Oscars presented by two individuals as usually it's a one man job, so I think tonight will be a really good show.

Now where do I even start with who I want to win? There are so many talented individuals on tonight's show so here are a couple of who I want to be walking away with a little gold man in their pocket:

Best Actress: Natalie Portman, Black Swan 

Best Actor: Colin Firth, The Kings Speech

Best Supporting Actress: Amy Adams, The Fighter

Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale, The Fighter

Cinematography: Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan

Animated Feature Film: Toy Story 3, Lee Unkirch

Directing: Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan or Danny Boyle, 127 hours 

Best Picture Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan

Okay okay, as you can see I'm a huge Black Swan fan but can you blame me? I'm so drawn & intrigued by the thriller master piece. Good luck to everyone tonight, your all winners.

lights, Camera, Fashion: 2011 Grammys No.3 the best dressed

Always leaving the best till last, I narrowed the best dressed to two women, only because the Grammy red carpet is very theatrical and anything goes, so choosing these two women wasn't easy but I managed. Take a look below, 

Heidi Klum

Damn Heidi is beautiful, the 37-year old look every bit glam in this Julien Macdonald dress. I put Heidi 2nd on my best dressed list because as a supermodel she knows how to deliver no matter where she is and her body is amazing after having 4 children. The dress shows off her body beautifully and I love her flower print heels. 

Lea Michele

Many may think Lea is playing it safe in this black Emilio Pucci dress, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and of course Christian Louboutin heels. But I say not really, I love the bright pink lipstick to add some colour to the outfit and the hair being down is nice and relaxed. Yes the dress is black but look at the detail, I love the sexy slit to show of her legs and the see through middle part of the dress. So there you have it Lea Michelle is the best dressed at the 2011 Grammys.

lights, Camera, Fashion: 2011 Grammys No.2 the men

All I have to say is the Glee men definitely bought their A-game to the red carpet. All the men look sexy, sophisticated and clean cut, while still showing off their own style. To the men out there pay attention, seriously black suits and tuxedos are out, it's all about skinny ties, whites, greys, navy's, charcoals and of course attention to detail, look below and learn.

Lights, Camera, Fashion: 2011 Grammys No.1 the risk takers

When it comes to a show stopping event the Grammys don't fail to disappoint. These ladies are on my list because they think outside the box and they always rock what they are wearing. It's never a safe choice with these ladies in particular and you know what I'm glad, they come forward with their own unique style and class, take a look below and see for yourself.

The 2011 Grammy's red carpet was a glamorous show stopping magical event. This year there was no limit with the fashion, we saw everything from glitter, feathers, sequences, to pvc and even mirrors. As always I have to narrow it down to the risk takers, the men and of course the best dressed, so enjoy the fashion people.
