Grammys 2016 Best Dressed List

Red Carpet

When it comes to awards shows, the Grammys red carpet is generally go-big-or-go-home, which does lead to a lot of celebrities making the worst dressed lists than the best, I think it's because they think wearing their stage wardrobes is the best way to go, it is not. This year's Grammys 2016 was no different, there was a lot of skin on show, not just Taylor Swift, and I love that the commentators were justifying it because California is having a winter heat wave, that doesn't excuse some of the looks.

Cover Loving: Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue

Cover Loving, Red Carpet

One of my favourite covers of the year has to be the Vanity Fair Hollywood issue, I love seeing which stars have made the cut, the poses, the amazing fashion, and, of course, seeing who stands out. Last year didn't wow me, OK it was great seeing Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck in bed together, but this year's is more glamorous and I love it. For the 20th anniversary cover of the Hollywood issue, Julia Roberts shows off her fabulous legs surrounded by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba, and a very dapper looking George Clooney. But the really cover doesn't really wow until you see ...
