Fashion hits and misses at the PCA

You girls know I'm a sucker for awards show, and more so the red carpet! I love seeing what the celebs are wearing, because chances are they'll be setting some trends for the season ahead!

Last night was the kick-off at awards season with the People's Choice Awards, but sadly we in Mzansi are not afforded the privilege of watching this spectacle. So, I am left trawling the Internet looking at all the red carpet looks!

I have to say, I was left a teeny bit disappointed... A lot of the stars and starlets tried to be daring and innovative, but in the end just looked awkward... Judge for yourself:


Demi Lovato
 Demi Lovato - Not a bad dress, but more suited to the Golden Gloves or Oscars I would say. It is a tricky things with Awards shows, to get the dress code just right. The People's Choice Awards a little bit more casual, more like a cocktail affair than evening gowns. Also, there is such a thing as too much (and awkward) bead work...
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence - We've seen some sexy cut outs on the red carpet, but this is just...well, strange. Love the colour though ;)

Ashley Greene
 Ashley Greene - Lace and leather? One trend at a time girl!

Emma Stone
 Emma Stone - "Tea anyone?" I feel like Emma is going to come up to me and serve me. She looks like a little Irish butler. A sexy butler, but a butler none the less!

Lucy Hale
 Lucy Hale - Too much! creative cut out + puffy shoulder on one side + glitter + draping = mess. And can you see how the long flowing bits of fabric are causing a problem already? I'm surprised she didn't trip going down the red carpet!

Sharon and  Kelly Osbourne
Sharon Osbourne - I'm not totally offended, but too much glitter can be a bad thing!
Kelly Osbourne - I actually like the outfit, but can someone tell me WHY she has grey hair? Kelly - people normally try and HIDE it, not purposefully do it to themselves! Is it just me? I don't get it.....

It was not ALL bad! Here are some of my fashion highlights from the evening...

Ashley Benson
 Ashley Benson - Classic black and white, but super cute details! Perfect!

Chloe Moretz
 Chloe Moretz - This teenage starlet has just the right amount of glam mixed with young edge. Perfect hem line, cute shoes and a gorgeous green colour that suits her well.

Ellen Degeneres and Portia Da Rossi
Ellen and Portia - OK, so it;s not such a great outfit (on either of them). But I just love Ellen, so had to show her off!
Kalley Cuoco
Kaley Cuoco - This lovely lady hosted the evening, so it's good that she was a bit more glam than the rest. I am in love with the detail on her pale pink gown, so romantic!

Miley Cyrus
 Miley Cyrus - She is my best dressed for the night. Gorgeous dress, detail on the side, perfect hair, accessories spot on = definite 10/10 girl!


Tia and Tamera
Tia and Tamera - these twins got it just right! Their outfits compliment one another ('cause they know they'll be snapped together!) Just beautiful!!

Now I can't wait for the Golden Globes to come around!

It's almost weekend girls, enjoy!
