2014 Golden Globes

It's that time of year again, Christmas has barely passed us by before awards season is upon us. Having said that, there is probably nothing better than seeing a host of celebrities in my favourite designers to inspire me to work harder and get that beach bod.

Whilst the Golden Globes are primarily known for being an indication as to what films will perform well at The Oscars, as well as being great opportunity for us to review some gorgeous celebrities in gorgeous outfits (see our gallery of Hits and Misses here: http://goo.gl/RfgK64), this year offered us some great moments to remember exactly why we love some of our favourite celebrities. 

First up - Leonardo Dicaprio. Oh Leo, how we love thee, even more so now that he left his stunning 21 year old, Victoria's Secret model girlfriend at home in favour of walking down the red carpet with his Mum, what's a cutie! Leo was up for his 9th Golden Globe nomination an whilst he should have won each of those awards he yesterday won his second for Best Actor - Musical or Comedy for his performance in The Wolf of Wall Street. Let's hope he finally gets his much deserved first Oscar!

JLaw being JLaw - by any account she is by far one of the most down to earth celebrities around and last night just reaffirmed our love for her even more. First there was the Taylor Swift photobomb after which the actress told the pop star she wanted to push her down the stairs. Next she was seen at her table, well just being the JLaw that we know and love, goofing around and giving beau Nicholas Hoult a big kiss after winning her category, finally confirming that they are indeed back together. Finally, whilst she has been panned for her choice of outfit, it has spawned a whole host of Internet memes and it wouldn't surprise is if she had chosen the dress having for seen this.

Emma Thompson and her shoes. Not only did that star arrive to present an award with her Louboutins in one hand and a martini in the other but she then proceeded to throw the shoes over her shoulder - queue a round applause from women everywhere who now breath a sigh if relief to know it's ok that they feel pain after walking in the for more than an hour. 

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. What a duo, their agents are surely very busy people right now. Whilst Gervais was known for his steely and awkward jokes at the expense of his audience these two however, poked fun at their guests without ever being inappropriate. Some of the best jokes included 'Gravity shows us that George Clooney would rather float in space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his age' and 'Like a supermodels vagina, let's all give a  warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio'. Pure Comedic Gold.

VMA's: Best and Worst

There are plenty of awards ceremonies throughout the years and perfectly positioned between the Oscars and the Teen Choice Awards sit the VMA's.  MTV are renowned for their highly publicized events and this one really brings out the fun in the outfits worn by the stars in attendance.  Here are my best and worst:

Best Dressed

Taylor Swift:  Proving that Herve Leger isn't a brand permanently tainted by the likes of River Island and Tulisa copycats, the country singer wowed in her navy bandage dress with a super plunging neckline.  Her curls

Allison Williams:  The 'Girls' actress chose a demure white number by Valentino.  The lace a mini length makes it a perfect transeasonal option and show of her perfect pins whilst her updo keeps the overall look effortlessly chic.

Ellie Goulding:  Admittedly she isn't my favourite singer but I can't deny my love for this Amato couture dress perfectly teamed with a pair of Brian Atwood courts.  The thigh high split is very Angelina and keeping her hair au naturale and without effort somehow manages to make her look even more endearing.

Worst Dressed

Katy Perry:  I don't know what it is about this girl.  She is so stunning yet insists on wearing some of the worst outfits known to man.  This Emanuel Ungaro number has to be one of her worst to date, mainly due to the fact that it has none of the playful over the top-ness she usually displays with her purple hair and all.

Lil Kim: There are no words.  None at all.

Erin Wasson:  Where to start.  Firstly, the hairstyle is inappropriate for a narcs meeting let alone any form of a red carpet.  The outfit?  Sheer can be nice by way of panelling, clearly something designer Alexandre Vauthier has never heard of.
