2012 People's Choice Awards Best Dressed

There were two main trends on the People's Choice Awards red carpet, colour and no colour. And there were stand outs in both categories. Starting with my favourites - the colour shots, we have Ginnifer Goodwin in Roksanda Ilinic. POW. What about Jennifer Lawrence in Viktor + Rolf? A slightly braver and more daring choice, but it works. And Kirsten Bell in dressed-down classic red Valentino - but in lace and leather. Another cute girl who mixed things up a bit was winner Emma Stone, who went with a Gucci trouser suit with an emerald green jacket. And sticking with green, we see an Elie Saab hit the carpet on another winner, Nina Dobrev. Of the colour looks, I have to say that my fave is the utter simplicity of the Roksanda Ilinic pink dress.

But there was also some pale stunners on the red carpet last night. Jennifer Morrison absolutely wowed me in this white Oscar de la Renta macrame dress. Mylie Cyrus was all grown up and unexpectedly chic and interesting in newer designer David Korma, complete with drapes, cut ots and day-glo perspex detailing. And Big Bang Theory's Kelly Cuoco was utterly sublime (if slightly over dressed) in a Badgley Mischka floor sweeper. Oscar de la Renta takes the pale win, but can't compete with the vibrance of the pink for the over-all best dressed prize.
Well, that's what I think. How about you? Your winners please.

PPS: simple is better than complicated - this was the big take-home from this red carpet. The girls that went over-the-top landed up looking too try-hard. A simple, chic cocktail dress is hitting the perfect note for People's Choice. Leave the ball gowns for the Oscars.
