Lily Allen in vintage Norrell & a neon weave at the BRIT Awards: tacky or hot?

wenn21106494

The BRIT Awards were held last night, and the photo situation is not that great. The biggest name (in my opinion) in attendance was Beyonce, and she didn’t walk the red carpet, because why would she? So I’m including some fashion photos at the end of the post, but I’m not going to bust my butt about it because I know everyone will just yell “WHO?” You can see the full list of BRIT Award winners here – Lorde picked up an award, as did David Bowie, Ellie Goulding, Arctic Monkeys and Bastille (I really like Bastille, their lead singer has a great voice). David Bowie didn’t show up to collect his award, but he still made news – in his acceptance speech (given by Kate Moss), he said “And Scotland stay with us.” As in, Bowie does not want Scotland to be independent. Huh.

Our lead lady is Lily Allen, who is back on the red carpet stroll in a big way these days. She shows up to the opening of an envelope, doesn’t she? Well, she wore a vintage Norrell dress from 1965, and she paired it with a Chanel clutch that matched her neon weave. The bangs trauma from the ELLE Style Awards have been replaced with newer, longer clip-in bangs.

And here’s Beyonce’s performance of “XO”. This is what everyone was talking about from the show, but I kind of think it’s a mediocre performance of what is one of her best songs in years. She would have benefited from having a live band, I think.

I’m including photos below of One Direction, Kylie and Danni Minogue (in William Wilde and J’Aton Couture), Daisy Lowe (in Sister by Sibling, attempting The Jolie Leg), Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (she looks amazing in that Saint Laurent), Iggy Azalea (in Elie Saab, looking almost sophisticated), Jessie J (in Julien Macdonald, oh, honey, NO), Rita Ora and her boyfriend Calvin Harris (they both look surprisingly good, she’s in Prada), Pharrell Williams (just say NO to high-waters), Ellie Goulding (in Vivienne Westwood, disaster), and Tom Daley.

    Who is that woman with the lilac lipstick??????

  2. yennefer says:

    This whole event looks like an alien convention.

  3. Patricia says:

    The bangs are over Lily they need to end! Enough!! Years and years of these bangs. She is trying to switch it up here and there but she still looks dated, boring and juvenile with those things. I’ve reached the end of my rope with her bangs!

    Elie Goulding is wearing a Home Ec Class Final D grade project!!… No sis

    Jessie J Insistence in Uglyfying herself is something straight out of maggie Gyllenhall Playbook.. Christ

    what is lily ‘s secret to lose weight so quickly ???? she wasn’t that skinny in her “hard” video (i’m not sure if hard is the title of the song or if it ‘s bitch lol)

    • curegirl0421 says:

      It’s “Hard out Here” – and I think she’s just been working out. She had taken a break from the public eye for a while after her babies were born and is just more active now. She’s young enough that it still works! And she really wasn’t that big in the video, it was just a reeeeeally unflattering skirt, some over-fisheye filming, and I’m sorry even Keira Knightly looks chunky in a squat. hahaha

    Proof that Rosie could make animal print tinfoil look good.

    Also? Unless we all stand together against pale lipstick, it will never go away people. We have got to be strong and fight this. It’s almost eliminated! Stay brave and keep it classy, ladies.

  7. ALJsMom says:

    Has Lily Allen done something to her nose or is it just the pictures? I noticed it in the BAFTA photos too.

  8. Sunlily says:

    All this NO gathered in one place can’t be good for one’s heart.
    Jessie J, gurrll what are you doing? There’s no way someone told you you look good. IF they did, they deserve to go directly to hell. Do not pass go, damn sure better not collect the $200, go directly to hell. Why would you allow yourself to look so cheap?

  9. MonicaQ says:

    Elle honey, I’d rather hear one more “Lights” remix than look at that dress. Good god.

  10. Anna says:

    Beyoncé was definitely lip singing. Embarrassing performance.

  11. AmandaPanda says:

    God, I was there and it was not good – it’s never great when you’re trying to keep artists out of the way of the cameras 😮

  12. Baskingshark says:

    Why would anyone think that blue lipstick looks good? She looks like negative Ronald McDonald.

  13. TrixC says:

    Lily looks great. Rosie Huntington-whatever has a scary neck.

  14. Vanessa says:

    Rita Ora and Calvin Harris are a good looking couple.

  15. Inky says:

    The Brits were absolutely dire this year. I was just flicking through the channels looking for something to watch and figured the Brits would be a good choice. Ugh, no. James Corden was terrible, I was sat cringing at every word he said. The performances were very blah, and the presentation of the awards seemed amateur at best. The whole event just came across as very cheap, back when I was a teen (oh those halycon days), the Brits were must watch. Then again, that was through the eyes of youth, so maybe it has always been this way.

  16. Sambo says:

    So sick of UK talent, makes me so ashamed to be a brit to see Z-listers on tv 24/7. The Brit Awards were horrible, James Corden is hosting because??? Just made it so tacky and extremely cheap like they planned it an hour before the show. Bunch of nobodies. Why is Tom Daley there also? Ugh. Stop trying to make him happen. Lilly & Jessie J look like absolute trollops , god I hope the UK steps up (doubt it though). Loved Disclosure’s performance!
