The biggest night of the UK’s music calendar took place last night and of course our fashion eye was firmly set on the flurry of super-cool fashion that never disappoints at The Brits.
Let’s start with the simply stunning first and we could not write this without mentioning the classic style of Holly Willoughby looking sleek and smart in black, while Pixie Lott looked Hollywood classy in Dolce & Gabbana (the red lipstick added the perfect finesse) while Adele stuck to what she knows in a black, silk Burberry gown with a sweetheart neckline and mesh top, switching to a Clements Ribeiro bejewelled dress to perform an amazing rendition of Rollin’ in the Deep.
Then came the colour – Kylie in a very eye catching cobalt blue YSL number which just draped perfectly, Lana Del Rey (fast becoming our new fashion crush) in a knock-out off the shoulder Vivienne Westwood frock and Jessie J who once again, dared to bare, in an extremely sheer red lace number – she has more guts than we do! Caroline Flack went for a shorts suit but what really caught our eye was her nod to the tribal accessories trend with her clutch.
Unsurprisingly, the X Factor alum didn’t quite hit the nail on the head – Alexandra Burke didn’t quite pull off the Gladiator look while Cher Lloyd just looked like a really, really, REALLY bad 80’s throwback/space man in that jumpsuit. Little Mix brought their usual smorgasbord of style while One Direction couldn’t ditch the turned up chinos for just one night!? Oh boy…
The metallic parade was headed up by Rihanna, who pretty much stole the show in her plunging Givenchy Haute Couture gown, accessorised with super-sexy leather gloves and Florence Welch performed in a mesmorising tulle Alexander McQueen gown.
A stellar style effort from The Brits this year, it’s always a pleasure to see the quirky style in one of the very few Red Carpet events where something a little bit different is part of the dress code!

We think February is a month for DVDs in front of the fire all curled up on the sofa so here are a few of our suggestions.
We change our minds, our style, our clothes, and even our friends everyday. Whether it’s fashion, music, a new shop or even food, I think we all have our item of the week. Recently I have gone through a few different phases in fashion. Within the space of about two months I have changed my look from trying to be a mildly professional arts world gallery girl to a preppy university student - ‘I might be in the chess club’ style.
February. Are you a fan? Usually I’m completely indifferent to it. Just another month if you ask me, but this year it’s my new start – January was far too depressing to start the healthy diet and fitness plan, so February it shall be, no ‘Flabruary’ for me thank you very much.
Is it just me, or did the Screen Actors Guild Awards live up to its SAG acronym? It seemed to me that the style floating down the SAG Red Carpet was just okay, and dare I say it, a little boring?
Colour is the always the big change comming into spring. Every year it comes around and voila the dreaded burst of brights, pastels and florals on the catwalk, and in the shops. If ditching the black sends you into a cold sweat, have no fear, it doesn't need to be terrifying!
We’ve just had the announcement of this year’s Academy Awards nominations, and while we don’t feel like there’s as much buzz surrounding the Awards’ Season as there was last year, we’re still feeling fashion theme come through, especially when it comes to Actress in a Leading Role, Supporting Role and Best Picture….
