PA PhotosWowing at the Grammys, retro queen Katy Perry drags classic Hollywood glamour kicking and screaming into the new millennium with a gorgeous, pale pink dress by Lebanese designer Basil Soda, which she matches with a soft pink lipstick and glitzy jewels from Jacob&Co.
PA PhotosBack in the limelight after a stint away, Marisa Tomei has been steadily accumulating a selection of statement-making red carpet gowns. This sunny yellow Elie Saab dress, with an intricate fold detail at the back and on one shoulder, is certainly one such piece.
PA PhotosWith ultra-pale skin and blonde hair, it would have been a big mistake for Laura Linney to choose a punchy orange for the Golden Globes. However the soft peach colour of the one-shoulder number she opted for is completely flattering and gives her complexion a radiant glow.
PA PhotosLike Laura Linney, Amy Adams is fearless in her approach to colour. Working the strapless look with maximum effect at the Golden Globes, Amy shows off her pale complexion with a rich purple dress; avoiding a colour clash by pulling her red hair back into a neat up ‘do.
PA PhotosShe may be the newest Hollywood A-lister of the pack, yet Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto still manages to work the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards like a veteran. Mesmerising in an elegant halterneck gown from Marchesa, the lilac-blue colour sits perfectly with Freida’s skin tone reflecting her glitzy yet discreet jewellery.
PA PhotosWorking a much stronger tone of blue than Freida Pinto, Kate Winslet shows off her enviable curves in figure-flattering, halter detail dress by Narciso Rodriguez. Usually a faithful LBD wearer this really is some departure for English Rose Kate, but her confident pose says she pulls off the hue with flying colours.
PA PhotosApple by name, erm...apple by nature? Choosing an attractive green colour that looks almost good enough to eat, Christina Applegate doesn’t have to work hard to stand out at the Screen Actors Guild Awards; the loose, almost ill-fitting shape and ‘20s-inspired jewellery give her ensemble a deliciously decadent look.
PA PhotosCompletely stealing the spotlight at the Golden Globes, Eva Longoria chooses a stunning, floor-sweeping Reem Acra dress in a vibrant red for a dramatic, positively pulse-racing entrance. Stunning!
