Glamour Awards 2012


I know it’s an easy option to write about the best and worst dressed at all the glamorous award ceremonies, but I just couldn’t help myself. This year’s Glamour Awards certainly lived up to the name with everybody from the A-List to the Z-List turning up in style. Winners included Jessie J, picking up Best Solo Artist, Kylie Minogue bagging the Outstanding Contribution award, Fearne Cotton took home the Best Radio Presenter award while best friend Holly Willoughby was awarded as Best Presenter.

First up on my best dressed list is Fearne Cotton. Her Mauve “bubble-wrap” style dress was strangely intriguing and I couldn’t help but find myself wanting one. Teamed with lilac shoes and sixties style hair, she dazzled on the red carpet next to boyfriend Jesse Wood.


Cara Theobald, Downton Abbey’s new girl, oozed innocence in her LWD teamed with a statement black handbag and sandals.


Jessie J had everyone’s heads turning as she arrived in a gorgeous black Julien Macdonald dress. To complete the look, she accessorised with a Lulu Guinness clutch and Kat Maconie’s Velma Booties.


Veering away from the expected, Abbey Clancey surprised everyone with her choice of clothing for the evening. A white tailored trouser suit that was barely covering her chest earned her serious bravery/style points.


As well as the ones already stated, below are some of the others that caught my eye.

Rosie for Autograph


Marks and Spencer’s show off new lingerie line designed by none other than the face of the brand, Rosie Huntington Whiteley.
The line will keep with the simple style of the store with the name Rosie for Autograph and is said to be made up of 33 pieces including silk sets, camisoles, French knickers and a kimono-style robe. The rose prints, soft tones and deco-inspired detailing gives the undies a fantastic 1920’s feel.
Rosie said: "M&S is an iconic British brand, adored by many so I'm very excited to be launching my debut lingerie line with them," said Huntington-Whiteley. "I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the design team to create my dream collection and I'm looking forward to a fun and creative time ahead."
Since beginning work for the British brand in 2011, she has been a huge success not only for the company but her herself as well with a few movie titles under her belt along with many modelling opportunities.
"We are so pleased to have Rosie on board to design her first collection for us - she really understands beautiful lingerie and what works on the body," said M&S executive director of clothing Kate Bostock. "With all her modelling experience she has great eye for colour and style which, coupled with our extensive knowledge in lingerie design and technique, is a winning formula that we can't wait to share with our customers."

The line will launch in Marks and Spencer’s store and online in September.
