Considering my last blog, many of the stars were very on trend boasting long flowing gowns in nudes and pastels. Keri Hilso
n looked gorgeous in a Dolce & Gabbana fishtail dress, with a small amount of embellishment and minimal jewellery, her look was classic and sophisticated (see 
far right). She was joined by Katy Perry in a beautiful Zac Posen backless nude gown with gold sequins and flowers, (see right), who was also showing off her new engagement ring, courtesy of Russell Brand.Carrie Underwood looked stunning in both of her gowns on the red carpet and off. Her first was an asymmetrical white Edition by Georges Chakra dress combined perfectly with an amazing Swarovski clutch, and then for her Michael Jackson tribute performance she changed into a dazzling Reem Acra gown which became available on www.gilt .com but sold out almost instantly. Joining her onstage, Celine Dion wore one of my favourite dresses of the night which got missed by many as she didn’t walk the red carpet. Her Aquilano.Rimondi dress made her look 10 years younger as she showed everyone that she’s still got it!
Glee star Lea Michele definitely deserves a mention in her Romona Keveza dress. Combined with subtle make-up and chic smoky eyes, Lea looked a million miles away from her on screen, temperamental
teenager role (see right). As usual Beyonce looked truly amazing in four (yes four!) different dresses and Lady Gaga proved that she really doesn’t know the meaning of “Too far” (see below....enough said.).
So inspired by the Grammys, here at 4couture.com we’ve been looking out for some gorgeous gowns just in case you have that special occasion to go to and fancy having a bit of celeb style for yourself. Malene Birger’s new SS10 collection is absolutely
lovely and this dress (see right) is sure to turn heads. You can pick one up at http://www.my-wardrobe.com/by-malene-birger/jessie-sequinned-dress-287204. Slightly more understated but just as elegant, topshop have this complete bargain of a dress which we just love! (see below left) http://tiny.cc/V9BB9. And we thought we’d have a quick peek at the designer gowns which are out there at a higher price range. Marchesa have this Carrie Underwood style, silk chiffon, crystal embellished dress which is so beautiful and available at http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/77503 (see below centre). Lastly, if you’re looking for luxury, Browns Fashion have just got in this gold and silver lamé Oscar de la Renta gown which in our opinion is worth every single penny, (see below right) http://tiny.cc/3XhDh.
So The Grammy Awards were definitely a hit for the American girls this year in terms of both awards and fashion, with some stunning dresses on show. Next year let’s see the Brit girls stepping it up a notch and making some headlines and fashion statements.
Let me know what you think of this year’s dresses, and who was your Grammy’s 2010 ‘Best Dressed’ via Twitter at www.twitter.com/4couture.

When you first start growing out of your normal clothes it’s so tempting to rush out and buy loads of new clothes but stop and consider- at 5 months you really have no idea how you will look at 8 months! Better to start with basics and add to your wardrobe as you go. My maternity saver, boring as it is, was vests from Topshop. They may look boring but are the essential with the longer length protecting your modesty all the way up to delivery day! Also from Topshop I can’t fault the skinny jeans. They even come in a size 6! 
Revolve magazine has a really strong lookbook (example below) and is of course an online fashion store....credit card you have been warned. Get inspired and blow the budget at
