It is that time of the year again. The battle between celebrities to be crowned Fashion Queen as they strut down the red carpet in their show-stopping gowns. And with the Grammys and Baftas being held on the same evening, it seems that there's definite rivalry to the award ceremony with the best dressed celebs. This year, by far, the Grammys have taken the top spot.
As much as I dislike her, Taylor Swift's gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad definitely stood out for me; his Eastern-European cultural influences are clear in the fabric and design which makes it very individual amongst other long dresses on the red carpet. Another classic, but beautiful number was by Gomez-Gracia worn by Carrie Underwood. Such a simple silhouette but the sparkling white fabric makes it very hard to take your eyes off of it. It's great to see smaller designers taking the limelight at awards shows; as a fashion student it's great to find new inspiration.

In the whirlwind of stunning dresses, there's always a few outfits that leave us all with blank faces. This year, the award goes to...Nicki Minaj. Famous for her outrageous fashion sense, I know, but really what is this?? Completely and utterly odd, not to mention the fact she turned up with the Pope as her plus one... (check this link out)
The Bafta celebrities somewhat disappointed me. Most dresses were either dull, drab or borderline disgusting. However, Michelle Williams bespoke H&M dress was very cute, and it was great to see a highstreet chain being a big contender at the Baftas. In contrast, Ferne Cotton's dress designed by Moschino was totally individual, yet suited her perfectly. The peachy colour is vibrant and youthful, which is nice to see amongst the majority of nudes, black and white.
Now, if I was in some alternate reality and I was going to the Baftas/Grammys, I would love to wear this Zuhair Murad dress, I have completely fallen in love with it. Ah well, dream on Holly...
