Grammy Awards : Red Carpet Report

This year's red carpet was graced with some beautiful couture gowns and the odd unconventional attire!
My absolute favourite was Kelly Rowland in Georges Chakra fish tail gown with structured sheer detailing. She was perfect! Light and simple hair and make up worked hand in hand with dress and allowed it to make it's bold statement. Her look was extremely sexy but still red carpet ready!!




Second favourite was most definitely Taylor Swift in a white J Mendel gown with a thigh high split, a plunging neckline, accordion pleats and silver detailing. The gorgeous silver detailing increased focus on her waist and neckline. Uber feminine and left her looking very goddess like!



Jennifer Lopez failed to disappoint in an all black Anthony Vaccarello one shouldered attire, with a thigh high split showing off those legs of steel!
Most definitely the Vixen of the evening I'd say!! She paired the gorgeous dress with simple black sandals with a gold cuff.
Perfect!

Quick Tip:

Thigh-high splits will elongate the legs and add instant sex appeal to any outfit but be careful not to overdo it!




Solange did it for me rocking 2013 colour of the year! The emerald green beaded dress by Ralph & Russo looked absolutely ravishing on her. She also showed off some leg with a thigh high split, structured shoulders and added a pop of colour to the green dress with fluorescent spiked Louboutins!

Quick Tip :

Structured/Padded shoulders bring in the waistline and make it look smaller.





Beyonce looked lovely but must have not gotten the memo on the dress code!!! I know she's Queen B and all that stuff but she failed to deliver with her understated monochrome one-piece. Great Outfit!! Wrong Event!!!
 
 
Enjoy!!

#Stylespiration

Hey Beaus,

I recently started using this new app I randomly discovered (Polyvore) to create looks and outfits. I decided i would pick a theme/event etc each week and put together a few looks for it just to give you beaus some inspiration when putting outfits together and all that fun stuff. I just started using it today and im so super hooked!!! I thought i'd post 3 different looks that I've messed around with and put together today . Best part of the app is it tells you where everythings from so if you want those exact items, it there should be no hassle finding it!!

                                                                   Look 1: Fresh!!

I know some of the pieces are super expensive ,high fashion brandswhich of course not everyone is willing to splash out on, but the idea is just to give guidelines and some inspiration. Not compulsory to get those exact items!! When i can i'll do my best to provide links on some more affordable replicas. Hope you like!!
 
Enjoy!!
Stay tuned...
Stay beautiful...x
