Kerry Washington has always been one of my favourite red carpet goers. She always manages to look incredibly chic and fresh but recently she's been on the down low. Last night, though, she made a welcomed return to the red carpet at the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
For the occasion, she chose this floor length shimmering sequin Vivienne Westwood couture gown with a subtle drape and it works. The metallic works beautifully against her skin and he simple drop down earrings and pulled back hair finish the look off perfectly.
President Barack Obama knows how to throw a good party and deliver a good red carpet and the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which took place over the weekend was no different. Along with the usual mix of politicians came fashion folk like Tory Burch and Rachel Zoe, models like Kate Upton and Irina Shayk and major actresses like Kerry Washington and Claire Danes. As you know, Kim Kardashian never misses a photo-op was made an appearance with mother Kris Jenner making Obama joke, 'Why is she famous anyway?' during his speech.
Yesterday was all about celebrating inspirational women for Glamour as the magazine hosted their 21st Annual Women of the Year awards.
Hosted by editor Cindi Lieve, the magazine celebrated the achievements of women in fields ranging from design to researching ovarian cancer. Jennifer Lopez, Lea Michele and Chelsea Handler were amongst the big names being honoured this year buts awards were also given to women like 22 year-old Withelma "T" Ortiz-Macey, a former child prostitute who has quickly become one of the biggest campaigners against sex trafficking, and feminists like Gloria Steinem.
Oprah Winfrey sure knows how to throw a party. On Wednesday she hosted a huge event for an evening with Ralph Lauren at New York's Lincoln Centre and as you would expect, the guest list reads like a whose who of the entertainment and fashion industry.
Guests include Diane von Furstenberg, Jessica Alba, Naomi Watts, Uma Thurman and Prabal Gurung. The best looks of the night came from Kerry Washington who looked beautiful in a black gown with gold halter neck detail and 20s hair and Camilla Belle in a figure hugging black gown with sheer detail along the neckline.
This weekend saw Mary J Blige, Queen Latifah and Elle's Robbie Myers host the second annual Mary J. Blige honors concert held at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.
