FRANCK SORBIERS

Now, this is one of a kind. According to  http://patternbank.com/ , the designer used stunning visual effects to narrate a medieval French fairytale on the runway at Paris last month. The Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 collection retold the 17th century story, Donkeyskin, a widowed king set on marrying his own daughter, who escapes his clutches by demanding a series of impossible gowns, the colour of the sky, moon or sun. “The collection is a bridge between the past, the present and what the future could be,” explained Franck, who had teamed up with software giant intel for the high-tech side of the project.

BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS 2012: WHO'S THE BEST DRESSED? YOU DECIDE.

 has been held at MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas on 20th May 2012. Well-known celebrities parade the red carpet with their individual fashion statements - some are listed in the Best Dressed while some, unfortunate, in the Worst Dressed list. Well, lets have a look which do you vote as the Best Dressed of the nite?

Carrie Underwood

Modern-day-Cinderella with an M&M sweets purse? I don't know whether this pic was taken with the wrong angle or what, but this Oscar de la Renta dress made her legs looked short. And the way she poses her legs is a bit rough. Haha...

Alicia Keys (L)

Alicia show off her curves in a body-hugging Azzedine Alaia Couture gown.

Monica(R)

White maxi with side split, oversized purse &.....leopard print heels?

Julie Bowen
This black drap by Doo.Ri is simple, yet nice. I like the center sequined fabric which livens up the boring black drap.

Lisa Marie Presley
Ms. Presley's white skirt here remind me of her dad's 70's rocking-white-bell-bottoms.

Natasha Bedingfield

This turquoise bejewelled dress doesn't really matches her. It makes her shoulders looked broader. I think she would look better if she tied up her hair into a sleek pony tail.

Usher
LeT mE SaY YEah YeaH YEAH!! UsH Ush USHER!! Yeah, Usher in blue.

Linkin Park
"One thing I don't know why, it doesn't really matter how hard you try", just put on denim jackets & nerdy glasses, & all button-up shirts, all my life~ Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington.



John Legend
Smart & clean-cut Mr. Legend arrived at the red carpet in matching grey blazer & shoes.

Chrissy Teigen
John Legend's model fiancée, wore a metallic red Georges Chakra Couture dress.

Taylor Swift

Floor-sweeping goddess dress for Taylor - as usual. Dress by famous Lebanese designer Elie Saab.

Jordin Spark

In a Diane Von Furstenberg lacey-pink number. Quite simple though.

Brandy
Brandy in a Herve Leger by Max Axaria number, Christian Louboutin's sky-high golden heels & a big afro.




Zooey Deschanel
Cute Zooey sparkles the red carpet in a little cute sleeveless Moschino dress & moon-shaped earrings. But the black tights....she would look much more elegant without it.

Julianne Hough

Another sparkling silver drap. I think someone might have set a "Bling Bling" theme for the celebrities as there are so many of them wore sparkling outfits to the awards?!!

And the WINNER is.....

Katy Perry

I vote her as the Best Dressed because of her 50's Hollywood look is the most glamourous among all the sparkling girls. Notice: Even her hair is dyed in dark lavender to give the perfect match with her twinkle-twinkle-little-star-waterfall-flowing-dress (by Blumarine). Not many celebrities will be able to pull that off.

Katy is the star of the nite!
