Best Dressed Award
Rihanna looked sensational in her vibrant floral and turquoise tulle Christian Dior Couture gown at the 2011 Brit Awards in London last night.

It was my favorite look from the runway as I love the colour combination.

Rihanna knows how to balance the contrast between her feminine dress and her edgy attitude.

She added smoky eyes and bronze lippy to her look and kept her trademark red tresses sleek straight.

J’Adore.

Aqua blue Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels and a Solange Azagury-Partridge rings completed her look.

Best Beehive Award
Coco Rocha was at the 2011 Elle Style Awards which were held in London on Monday night.

She was there to receive her ‘Best Model’ Award. This comes a few months after Marie Claire named her the model of the year for 2010.

The Canadian model looked ever-so regal wearing an Alexander McQueen Resort 2011 dress.

The cream lace dress was unfortunately paired with some questionable white shoes.

White shoes are like Kryptonite to me. It’s the one thing I can not stand. I dislike black pumps, but I hate white shoes in any form.

Still On The Right Track Award

Alexa Chung walked the red carpet at the 2011 Elle Style Awards which was held in London last night.

She opted for a YSL Spring 2011 ensemble.

The look included a short sleeved blouse paired with a ruffled skirt. Both pieces had the YSL distinctive black fingerprint motif.

Black suede YSL heels and a black clutch completed her look.

This is a good look for Alexa. She seems to be on a roll.

I’m sure she made the effort because she was the host of this event.
