Alicia Vikander is one of fashion's wonder girls at the moment - the industry has always been very fond of seemingly intellectual European sophisticates and Vikander is that personified. She has an understated modern and feminine way of dressing that never shouts, but is always fashion forward. The silhouette skims Vikander's petite frame perfectly and we love the elegant midi length and bare shoulders.

Cate Blanchett looks a mix of ethereal and regal in her Erdem gown. She looks like the kind of character you might meet in a Wilkie Collins or Edgar Allan Poe story, otherworldly, beautiful and strong.

Rooney Mara

Not many young actresses have such a distinct, brave sense of style as Rooney Mara, who is a sartorial princess of darkness. She has made gothica look beautiful and it's a look that really suits her pale colouring. On a different subject, her black sheer dress would look a bit much, trashy even on some, but on Mara it looks chic, prim and deadly elegant

Irish-born Saoirse Ronan is one to watch on the red carpet this awards season - an actress who is never afraid to brave it and choose something that isn't considered a 'safe' option. Case in point with her Roksanda Ilincic wide-leg trousers and T-shirt combo, which feels modern and chic.

Suki Waterhouse

Here we have Suki Waterhouse in a 90s-style slip dress and a faux fur stole. It's a glamorous look, but on Suki still has a grungy edge which we approve of. We're big fans of the dress to which would work well for day teamed with a white T-shirt and trainers.
