All the stars where in attendance for Sunday's BAFTA Television Awards 2012.  With the temperatures soaring on the Red (white and blue) Carpet we bring you who was hot and who was not from London last night.

Louise Redknapp wore Gucci to varying response - some say drab, others say fab. At RRR we love the dropped waist and the colour blocking but it has to be said that this was a very safe option for the presenter.

Davina Mccall rocked a Michael Kors belted zebra print dress and amazing hot pink Jimmy Choo heels. 

Fearne Cotton wore a vintage gold shimmering dress with Kirkwood heels and finished off the retro look with a slick of red lippy and side swept hair. Holly Willoughby wore designer of the moment Jenny Packham pink gown, accessorised with matching clutch and silver jewels.

The most daring look of the evening had to be Kelly Brooke in a Jacques Azagury tutu dress. Kelly scored points for accessorizing with a cool blue clutch and beautiful sandals.

So who do you think deserved an award for their Red Carpet appearance?

I think it’s about time we discussed some of the jaw dropping Red Carpet action we have seen recently from twinkle town and further. Forget the Oscars, the style we have seen at the Met Gala, the Cannes Film Festival and various other events has had us literally squirming with jealousy.

Let's start with the Met Gala. Nicknamed the Oscars for Fashion, this year did not disappoint. The favorite had to be Carey Mulligan in THAT Prada dress. Showing all the wannabees how its done, she literally shone in a twinkling metallic disc dress. She later auctioned this off on eBay to raise money for Oxfam America so she has pretty much sealed the deal for beautiful, stylish and charitable celeb of the moment. (Muffled expressions of jealousy and exasperation)

One of the major Red Carpet moments of the week has to be the premier of the new film Snow White and the Huntsman. To be honest I wasn’t really expecting this event to be as show-stopping as it turned out to be. Kristen Stewart has fully evolved as a fashionista of the highest pedigree. Stepping out of her usual comfy trainers and jeans she wore an incredible Marchesa Gown to the London event that resembled a very delicate skeletal form under all the embroidery and lace. She is officially our ‘One to Watch’ for future Red carpet events, and we can’t wait to see what she wears next! 

Then finally the Cannes Film festival. With all the favourite celebs, models, actors and photographers tweeting and instagrammimg about this event we couldn’t wait to see all the pics so far. Diane Kruger wore an asymmetric mint green flowing gown by Giambattista Valli Couture that billowed out in the in the Riviera Breeze. Tres Chic. Eva Longoria stole the show in a Marchesa close cut gown, featuring a fab train of corsage tulle.

Oh, to be floating round Cannes at the moment, in amazing designer dresses and shoes – it’s a hard life for these A listers!

 So that’s our little round up of the Red Carpet events of the past week. And now that we are all up to date – roll on the next ones…

At Red Ruby Rouge we love to have as many clothes as possible in our wardrobes. For me it’s something of a life ambition to have certain things hanging in my closet. However in these current economic climates even I have to realise the beauty of a fabulous capsule wardrobe. The concept is simple. Have a list of a few basic items that can all be worn in conjunction with each other and that is it. No massive piles of unwanted or unworn clothing. Each item has to be the perfect example and most flattering of its kind on you. This way you always look great, co-coordinated and slick. It’s worth investing in some of these items since you are going to get a lot of wear out of each piece.

Here is a little guideline for you to get started. (And a few RRR suggestions!)

• One Jacket. -  From cropped leather to tweed blazer whatever suits you and your personal style

• Two Skirts - pencil for day, silk and flowing for evening

• An amazing dress –  Hunter Dixon red we think!

• Jeans – have to be the best you ever had.

• One quality knit . . . cashmere jumper, or vintage cardi whatever is most you. We think White and Warren anything would fit in perfectly here.

• Lovely Tailored trousers or leggings  - make sure they fit perfectly like Niki Biki Stretch Leggings.

• Two Silk blouses / shirts  - Tucker by Gaby Basora or an injection of Porcelain NYC?

• Basic white T or some great Splendid luxury cottons. 

• 2 handbags -  a carry everywhere, chuck everything in version, and one perfect little trendy Marketa Clutch for nights out

• Coat  - for a whole season it will be the piece you’re seen in most so get this one right!

Of course no one ever said you have to just have ‘One’ capsule wardrobe!
