I know, I
know. It’s incredibly outdated. Almost a year ago has past. But my dear, dear, dear *cue widening of eyes* friend Jahan
proclaimed, “You love fashion, right? Write a review on these dresses. I want
to know what you think.” Which is absolutely unfair. I do love to dress up and
make sensible choices in my outfits, I follow fashion blogs (even though they
are actually street style), sure, but...but...what exactly do I know about haute couture and red carpet fashion?
“It will
be an epic fail,” I lamented. “The only thing I can describe a dress with is
‘pretty’.”
“Just
write,” she demanded.
Therefore,
here are my personal favourites from Best Dressed of the Year Critics’ Choice 2014:
1. Lily
Collins in Elie Saab Couture for the ‘Love, Rosie’ Rome Film Festival Premiere
I say Lily Collins looks like a daydream here. I mean, come on. Biggest
hair trend right now on a dress?
Genius. Plus, her hair is a nod to Old Hollywood. And she totally rocked that
tiny belt.
2. Cate
Blanchett in Armani Privé for the Chopard Party 2014
Cate Blanchett, of course, looks ethereal as always. And look at the
smirk. It’s a smirk that absolutely says, “I know I look divine. I know you
think I look divine.” I love this colour on her.
3. Lupita Nyong’o in
Gucci for the 2014 SAG Awards
Lupita
would NEVER be not on anybody’s list. Here she is in a fun yet elegant piece by
Gucci, no excessive accessorising needed. The dress speaks for itself. Her
smile is just as dazzling. And look at that figure!
4. Emily
Blunt in Prada for the ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ New York Premiere
I am so sorry I had to laugh at this one. I mean the dress is just
perfect on her. It says very posh and feisty. Now if only she’d worn this at
the premiere for The Devil Wears Prada,
she would be the real devil in Prada. Meow.
5. Lily
Aldridge in Rosie Assoulin for the 2014 amfAR New York Gala
Lily, Lily. You have made a metaphor of yourself! This chic number looks
like it drew inspiration from a Lily-of-the-Valley. If she wore something
green, like swapping that necklace of hers for one, she would look like the
actual flower. I love that it’s pure white and no embellishments were added to
it. The design works overtime.
6. Lea
Seydoux in Prada for ‘La Belle et la Bete’ Premiere
This
looks like something a Disney would—and should!—wear. Just stunning.
And there you have it, folks.
Gods, how did I do? If you guys want me to review anything else, I’m up for it.
Just...don’t have high standards for it.
*cue widening of eyes* You did just fiiiiine...guess who is gonna be setting you more reviews!! *cackles*
