Star Awards 2009

It was "ajollyaffair" with Joanne Peh walking away with the coveted title of "Best Actress" at last night's annual Star Awards, giving the Walking Nonya Kueh no chance of commenting on her dress.

Unlike in Hong Kong or Taiwan, the tv industry here is so compact and "monopolised" that the faces you see on most programme shows have recurring hosts and actors, probably a reason why there wasn't the grandeur of any typical red carpet shows yesterday. Even if there were, it will probably be quite painful to watch, if what they wore last night were their best.

There was nothing really stunning about the outfits these celebrities were wearing, probably "best-dressed" were Quan Yi Feng in her last outfit and Joanne Peh in her first outfit (why in the world did she change?), and they got into the list just because their dresses were not informally short, like other skanks.

Best Actress and Best Actor winners

The men were all clad in classic 3-piece suit, and Chen Han Wei shone the brightest with his contrastingly piped shirt and white semi-formal shoes. There was this particular Taiwanese star, Ethan Ruan Jin Tian, who we thought really rocked the outfit in a greyish-blue suit.

Best Actor spotted with Special Award winner, Huang Biren

Over to hairstyles, thick bangs were seen all over the ladies crop, with Queen of Caldecott Hill, Fann Wong, and Hong Kong hottest star, Myoli Wu, both spotted in similar hairdos.

Belinda wins best programme host for info-ed, and worst-dressed Felicia Chin gets into top 10.

As for worst-dressed...

It has got to be Felicia Chin and Gurmit Singh (this is not a joke), it's really atrocious.

Grammys fashion - red carpet : Blue is the new Black

The exact color that got me into trouble while working for this famous local designer,
cobalt blue is the "in" thing this season.

At the recent Grammy Awards RC, stars were spotted strutting down the red carpet in all shades of blue.

Zac Posen and Giorgio Armani did well in their score cards.

Sultry singer and 4 award nominee, Rihanna, attended the event in a cobalt blue tulle and organza-like dress from Zac Posen. The dress complements her new short crop so well, we almost forgot about the Chopard bracelet!

No one, no one, can pull off a Giorgio Armani Privé sapphire duchess satin gown as well as Miss Alicia Keys. High bun and Chinese collar were indeed conservative, yet the mini trail added a touch of elegance to this rnb singer's midnight blue outfit.

Not exactly blue, but we simply love this dress!

Very flowy and glamourous. English singer and songwriter, Natasha bedingfield wore this purple Reem Acra gown with matching belt around the empire line; giving some edge to the heavily draped gown. We know where you can find pretty dresses like this!

Not exactly my favourite, but this Elie Saab number is much adorned by other fashion critics.
Clad in this pale blue tulle and silver beaded haute couture gown, Beyonce "wow" the crowd down the red carpet. At least she's in the right hue!

Like a modern goddess, Nelly Furtado was clad in a crystal bright blue Arthur Mendonca draped gown. The sweetheart neckline and drapes accentuates the rapper's womanly curves.

This best new artist nominee, Taylor Swift, matched her borrowed Jimmy Choo's with a lilac-blue medieval-inspired gown by Sandi Spika. The silk bustier with beaded A-line skirt enhances her figure.



As for the men?


Stick to black.
