Oscars 2018 – The Best Looks
Last night saw the Academy Awards, aka The Oscars awarded. Hollywood’s most glitziest night of the year was also the 90th anniversary of the awards, and, in true style, Tinseltown’s finest pulled out all the stops when it came to exquisite celebrity dresses. The winner of the first award, Janet Gaynor, was not renowned as a fashion plate, despite her later marriage to costume designer Adrian, and the same can be said for last night’s best actress, the formidable Frances Dormand, but there were some stellar looks on the red carpet, with a distinct lack of little black dresses after the sea at the BAFTAS and Golden Globes. There were…

Grammy Fashion 2018 – Wear A White Rose
The red carpet conveyor belt is rolling on, with Sunday seeing the 2018 Grammy Awards taking place. Rock n Roll’s most prestigious night of the year saw a red carpet filled with musics brightest and best, all in their finery, with many holding or wearing a white rose, the latest symbol of support and sisterhood for the ‘me too’ campaigns. The spectre of sexism and the abuse cases certainly could not be ignored, especially with Kesha giving an emotional performance, and Janelle Monae making a pointed comment in her presentation speech. A catagory dominated by women, Album of the Year, was won by the only man in the group, the…
