PA PhotosUsing the ‘golden’ part of the Golden Globe Awards as style inspiration, Megan Fox shows off her much-celebrated assets in a diamante embellished gold dress from Ralph Lauren, which she teams with a multitude of gold and turquoise bangles for a casual touch.
PA PhotosHighlighting her new ‘do with a smouldering combination of black and gold, Jessica Alba’s Miu Miu dress is exactly the kind of piece every girl needs to get her instantly in the party mood.
PA PhotosWith a new fringe on display like Jessica Alba, Kerry Washington goes for maximum impact with a slinky sequined Jasmine Di Milo dress with a provocative front panel. Proving that sequins are not all about girlish glamour, the dark colour and close placement give Kerry’s dress a tough, warrior-style look.

With tattoos on show, traffic-stopping red nails and glossy bed hair, Fearne works her gold and silver, stud embellished mini dress from French Connection with practised rock-chic attitude.
PA PhotosReworking the classic shift dress for evening, Hayden Panettiere settles on dazzling dark sequins for a simple, yet still glamorous look which she amps up with smoky eye make-up and a disco-ready silver clutch.
PA PhotosWhile boyfriend Ashton keeps things relatively casual, Demi Moore does the work for both of them in a winning, silver sequined dress matched with a silk clutch and embellished silver platform heels from Christian Louboutin. We love how the black paillettes stop Demi’s dress from being too OTT, while simultaneously matching her glossy dark hair.
