MET GALA 2015 | CELEB STYLE

The Met Gala is easily the event where celebrities go all out with their outfits. It's the one chance a year that your fave celebs wear the craziest clothing and it deemed acceptable. Whilst there were some questionable outfit choices at last nights event, I am going to focus on my best dressed! So here we go...

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is showing of her AMAZE figure in this stunning Atelier Versace dress. If her ensemble wasn't sexy enough, she paired her look with slicked back hair and a dark lip. Round of applause for RHW? I think so.

BRITISH FASHION AWARDS 2014 | CELEB STYLE

The annual British Fashion Awards took place at the London Coliseum last night and the style stars were out in force. In attendance were designers, models, editors - basically every influential person in the fashion industry.  As you'd expect, there was not only a fierce fight amongst the celebs to win the awards, but also to win the crown of best dressed on the red carpet. Luckily, I'm here to give my verdict on the ensembles from the night...
Cara Delevingne won model of the year wearing this stunning Burberry gown with Christian Louboutin heels. Gorgeous.

MADONNA | CELEB STYLE

The world's first material girl. The pioneer of the conical bra. The age defying leotard wearer. Yes, I am of course talking about Madonna. A style icon, who's a perfect example of the world's of music and fashion colliding. Often changing her style, ranging from goth to disco, Madonna truly is a chameleon of fashion. Here are some of her most famous looks. Enjoy!

MARION COTILLARD | CELEB STYLE

Coco Chanel and Bridget Bardot lead the charge for fashionable French women in the first half of the 20th Century, but there are plenty of women following in their fashionable footsteps today. Marion Cotillard is one such woman. Capitulated into the limelight in 2007 after her multi-award winning performance in La Vie En Rose (she earned an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe!), Cotillard has been one of my red carpet and off duty fashionistas ever since. While she took some time to get into her stride (lets not look back at the early noughties shall we?) once she got it, she got it good.

She wore this gorgeous white cape with a Chanel Couture dress to the 2008 BAFTA Awards.

ANJELINA JOLIE | CELEB STYLE

In celebration of Miss Jolie's 39th birthday, I am taking a look back at her most memorable and fashionable looks. From goth girl to glamazon, Angelina's style has grown up with her. Whilst she still gives us hints of her former black-dominated style here and there, her fashion sense has evolved into that of a sophisticated woman. Keep rocking the red carpet Angie!

I love this picture of a very young Angelina. Even at 10 years old she had her own sense of style. Here she is attending the Oscars with her dad, John Voight.

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY MEAN GIRLS!

Mean Girls is possibly the most quotable film of all time. It's unsurprising it has stood the test of time, still being popular today, 10 years later.

If you haven't seen Mean Girls, seriously what have you been doing with your life?!

Don't be put off if you think  "chick flicks" aren't your thing. Mean Girls is actually a lot more than that. It's a cleverly written comedy showcasing a satirical view of the high school experience to which both boys and girls can relate.

If you haven't seen it yet, here are some gifs to help convince you. And if you have, watch it again! You know you want to!

LUPITA NYONG'O | CELEB STYLE

Hollywood's new sweetheart and Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong'o has just been named People magazine's Most Beautiful Woman 2014. To celebrate this, take a look back at her best red carpet looks! Not only has this beauty got serious acting chops, she can give anyone a run for their money in the style stakes...

 Lupita stunned in this white and gold Prada gown, worn to the Toronto premiere of 12 Years A Slave.

ZOOEY DESCHANEL FOR TOMMY HILFIGER | FASHION FOCUS

Zooey Deschanel. Actress. Singer. Designer?

I absolutely fell in love with Zooey as Jess in the hilarious sitcom New Girl. However, before this career defining role, she had supporting roles in films Almost Famous, The Good Girl, Elf, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Failure to Launch, Yes Man and (500) Days of Summer. Quite an impressive list. But this kooky Californian truly found international fame in the form of Jessica Day. A teacher looking for a new apartment after breaking up with her boyfriend moves in with three guys, and becomes the 'new girl' in the loft. On top of all the awards she has won and been nominated for, Zooey also finds time to do music with M. Ward, creating the unique sound of She & Him. So what's next for this accomplished star? Fashion, designing a capsule collection for Tommy Hilfiger.

ALEXA CHUNG | CELEB STYLE

Alexa Chung has for a long time now been one of my favourite people.

When I first got really into fashion aged 13, I cut out loads of pictures from my "substantial" pile of magazines I had already collected to stick on my bedroom door. The above image was one of them. She's at Wireless Festival, and quite frankly, just looks cool. With the definitive Mulberry bag in hand, Alexa was never one to shy away from fashion, and it's safe to say her individualism has made her one of today's style icons.

MARY KATE & ASHLEY | CELEB STYLE

Today is the Olsen twins 27th birthday! For someone who grew up watching them from their days on TV in Two of a Kind, (I was born after the glory days of Full House), to their films including Passport to Paris, Our Lips Are Sealed, Winning London, Holiday in the Sun, When in Rome, and New York Minute, (I had to mention all the good ones!), it seems odd that they’re only nine years older than me. 

They then seamlessly made the transition from actresses to business women, and then to fashion icons. Over the years, they stopped dressing in the same clothes and blossomed into their own styles - Mary Kate is the more quirky of the two, whilst Ashley is sophisticated and chic. Here are some of their best looks…

Clearly still in their "matchy matchy" phase, the twins first showed signs of their budding fashion sense back in March 2002 when they wore matching black dresses with lace detail to the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

BEYONCE'S TOUR LOOKS | FASHION FOCUS

After the success of his designs for Rita Ora's Radioactive Tour, Emilio Pucci creative director Peter Dundas has created five looks for the Queen Bey to wear during her Mrs Carter Show tour, which kicked off last night in Belgrade, Serbia.

"Doing Beyoncé's costumes makes a designer want to run home and sketch," he told Vogue. "She is one of the sweetest stars to work with. She knows what she wants and what will work for her, but she respects creativity. I thought she looked incredible in the costumes, but it's difficult to mess things up with her. She's one of those girls who look even more beautiful without make-up."

GWYNETH PALTROW | CELEB STYLE

Gwyneth Paltrow first came to my attention as a style icon when she wore a stunning white Tom Ford dress with a dramtic cape to the Oscars in 2012. If you don't remember the gown, (how is that even possible?!) here's a photo.

BEYONCE IS NEW FACE OF H&M | FASHION FOCUS

It seems Beyoncé's star power is just rising and rising, with her AMAZING perfromance at the Superbowl, her advert for Pepsi showing off all of dance skills from past and present, and now this: starring in H&M's new campaign.

The singer stars in the Swedish retailer's new campaign modelling her super toned body, and a series of bikinis and beachwear inspired by her individual style. A rep for the brand stated that she gave "personal input on the pieces seen in the campaign" - nice to see she's had an input in the collection, and not just modelling for the sake of it. The summer campaign also features a bikini from the H&M for Water collection, which raises money for WaterAid.
