Emmy Awards - Top 3 Best Dressed!

I was able to catch some of the Emmy Awards Live on the Red Carpet on E! last night. I loved their new idea of the Mani-Cam (a mini red carpet for the celebs perfectly manicured fingers)...
Here are my top three best dressed, not in any order...


Heidi Klum
Heidi looked effortlessly stunning in a sea-foam thigh-high slit gown. Her sunkissed skin and minimal make up complimented the dress perfectly. I like the fact we can see her cleavage but it isn't too in-your-face. I'm glad she didn't do anything too complicated with her hair and accessories as she already looks classy enough. Love the colour and she really rocked the high slit!

Sofia Vegara
This is one of the dresses that really stood out for me on the night. The dress has really shown off Sofia's curvy figure. Its a very unusual but exciting colour and the material almost reminds me of a mermaids tail. It was a good idea to keep her hair down her back instead of over the shoulders which would have made the front look messy and take away the attention from the lovely reverse halter. She kept it simple with silver earrings and a matching bracelet which brought out the silvery tones in the dress. The dress did unfortunately give way and split but was quickly pinned back together, just after she tweeted the revealing picture of the broken zip which was positioned on her bum!

Claire Danes
I absolutely LOVE this dress. Its plain and simple yet so elegant. You might take one look at it and think "boring", but if you look at it in detail the material picks up the light nicely and has a really luxurious look about it. It sits on her chest nicely and tucks in at her waist creating pleats which give her the right amount of curve. It very rare for blondes to pull off yellow however he blonde has made her look fresh and fun. I also love how a subtle smokey eye has been used which is again rare for blondes to do. In a way, the whole look is daring but Claire has done it well.

Tulisa ft Tyga - Live It Up (Single/Video Review)

"We should pop more champagne this year, than we did last year."
Creative lyrics Tulisa. Although that's as bad as the lyrics get to be fair. The verses are sort of slow and whiny and make you impatient for the hook. The hook is definitely and probably the only part of the song that will help it sell. And maybe the fact that US Rapper Tyga features.

This is Tulisa's second single on her album "Tulisa", set to be released on the 9th September. Its got a very different style and almost reggae sound compared to the first single Young but I suppose it sticks to the theme of "Celebration". The video is set on a beach in Hawaii (that looks like it could do with a bit more sunlight) complete with Hawaiian dancers and bikini bodies.

There is one thing that bugs me the most about this video; the stylist should be sacked. Tulisa's opening black stringy outfit doesnt flatter her in any way, shape or form. They tried to make her look sexy but instead its verging on tacky. As for those high-waisted, cotton looking cheapo shorts. Awful! A pair of worn denim shorts would have fitted the scene much better. The only outfit I approve of is the flower print leggings and pink crop top.

The night-time setting is a slight improvement with the fire jugglers especially when Tyga steps on the scene and gives the visuals and song some oomph. Except the dancers he has beneath him are slighty cringy and old school but not as annoying as Tulisa's dancing and chav hands waving about.

Overall the summery fun track and video has a good vibe but I don't think it's to The Female Boss' full potential and it will become more irritating than it will catchy.
