Oscar Winning Dresses

So there we have it - the Oscars 2014 have flown by in a whirl of silk chiffon, but now's the time to debate who was best dressed...

Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong'o, Cate Blanchett, Amy Adams



























Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong'o not only won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively, but they were also responsible for two of the best fashion moments of the night. Lupita is fast becoming one to watch on the red carpet, and her pale blue Prada princess dress definitely did not disappoint. Meanwhile, Cate collected her Oscar in a beautiful embellished gown by Armani Prive, Amy Adams looked sleek and sophisticated in her Gucci column dress and Jennifer Lawrence looked stunning in her red peplum gown - but you have to worry when this is the second year in a row she has tripped over a Dior dress. Boy I hope they're paying her well!

On a final note, the Oscars can't go by without a comment on Pharrell Williams' legs. He pushed the boundaries of awards ceremony's formal dress code by wearing Lanvin shorts with his tux jacket. I love the fact that I've seen male friends turned away from swanky cocktail bars for wearing tailored shorts, but it's fine for Pharrell to rock up to the Oscars with his legs out.

Tres Chic, Camilla

You really couldn't miss the fact that the Duchess of Cornwall was in Paris last week - not when it was advertised right across her clutch bag!





















Camilla was in the french capital to undertake her first solo royal engagements, which along with charity events included time to visit the Dior store and admire the vintage gowns.

I love the quirky addition to Camilla's outfit - it would be the perfect accessory for my own trip to Paris later this summer. I'm not sure where the raffia bag is from, but there is a secondhand one with pink trim for sale on the Friendly Fashion website. Apparently the Duchess loves nothing more than bidding for bargains on ebay, so maybe I'll try there too...
