Lily Collins in green dark McQueen at Glamour UK event: beautiful or busted?

Here are more photos from last night’s Glamour Magazine Women of the Year Awards. You can see Glamour UK’s coverage of their event here, including lots of stuff about nominations and who was wearing what. As I said in the other post, Glamour UK got a really good turnout this year. Probably because they gave out some awards to the Americans, and the Yanks showed up. Let’s just go right to the fashion, shall we? Let’s start with Lily Collins, wearing Alexander McQueen. Lily won some kind of “breakthrough” award, and I think she probably has a bright future ahead of her. Personally, she doesn’t strike me as a big-time Fashion Girl, and much like so many of her generational peers, she’s still learning about how to dress for red carpets. I think this McQueen was a bad choice, and she looks so uncomfortable in it too. Something nice: rich, dark green is a good color for her, and I like her makeup.

Here’s Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen. I didn’t know Posen designed these kinds of busty tube dresses, but there you go. Sofia looks pretty… but this isn’t groundbreaking or anything. She’s a beautiful woman with an amazing body and for the most part, she knows what looks good on her.

Lily Allen, making a rare red carpet appearance since she gave birth to her daughter last November. Her skin looks amazing. Hate the coat.

Jessica Alba in Alexander McQueen. Too-dark makeup, and I feel like her hair is a shade too dark too. I really dislike the dress – it doesn’t suit her at all. It just seems like one of those dresses which doesn’t do anything for whomever is wearing it.

Jessie J in Julien Macdonald. At least she’s not flashing her biscuits? She’s a pretty girl with a nice figure – it shouldn’t be this hard to figure things out. The makeup is too “Middleton” and the booties are awful. Try the dress with black sling-back, open-toe heels, less eye makeup and brighter lips. And fluff up with hair.

Kylie Minogue in Stella McCartney. Much like Lea Michele in the other fashion post, it feels like Kylie is at a completely different event. Too dressy. And what does Stella McCartney have against smart tailoring? Look at what’s happening in Kylie’s midsection.

    I think Lily Collins and Sofia look fabulous! I love Lily’s dress.

    I like Lily’s dress solely for that green color.

    • gg says:

      I adore dark green damask on the right person. She is wonderful in that color. The cut of the dress? meh. Should be a long slimline gown I think, not a circle skirt.

  3. gee says:

    I LOVE Lily Allen. I’m so happy you covered her!

  4. INeedANap says:

    I’ve seen that weird frowny-face neckline a few times in the last month…please God tell me that isn’t going to become a trend! It’s so unflattering and strange, and it looks strangling.

  5. I.want.shoes says:

    Lily Collin’s dress is super nice but it looks like it would fit better on someone taller. I like the neckline- it helps avoid giving the dress a prom look but on her, it looks like it comes right up under her chin.

    Everyone else looks like crap.

  6. Eve says:

    I think the one wearing a too dark makeup is precisely Lily Collins (not Alba).

    That lipstick’s dark shade of red ages her, in my opinion. I don’t think that’s even red anymore…more like burgundy.

  7. Ryan says:

    Ugh! Minogue is too beautiful for that hideous dress.

  8. Ri says:

    Jessica is perfection! I just love that dress! Love the make up, but the hair would’ve looked nicer with romantic curls

  9. fluffybunny says:

    Lily and Sofia <3

  10. GoodCapon says:

    Lily, my grandmother called – she wants her curtains back!

    The ladies all look beautiful, Jessica Alba as the frontrunner.

  11. Perry Rhinitis says:

    Before I scrolled down, I thought Kylie was wearing a short dress.

  12. MBGB says:

    When Lily is finished wearing that dress, it will make a nice Christmas tree skirt. Yuk.

  13. juicyjackie says:

    I must have terribly dress sense as I think they all look awesome.

  14. StopItLuke says:

    I think the best dressed is Kylie even though it’s a bit OTT but whatever… It’s Kylie, she’s a (nice) Diva lol

    Also nice to see Lily Allen out and about, I love how she’s just been living her private life privately but I do want some new music from her soon :/

  15. Crystal says:

    Lily is so pretty. Her eyebrows were laid for the gods.

  16. Kaye says:

    For you Game of Thrones fans, Lily Allen is sister to Alfie Allen aka Theon Greyjoy.

  17. marie says:

    someone did lily collins’ eyebrows and now she looks like jennifer connolly. that’s not a bad thing.

  18. Brittany says:

    Lily Collins: Christmas tree skirt
    Jessica Alba: lingerie teddy with a long skirt

  19. Dredz says:

    She should be playing Liz Taylor instead of Blohan

  20. UniqJaz says:

    Lilly Collins has nice Calves !

  21. Mi says:

    The colour of Lily Collins dress is to die for, the dress itself not so great atleast not on her. I think it would have looked better if it was slim and not so “poofy” I guess. But the girl herself just looks gorgeous the makeup and hair is perfection.
    Sofia Vergara on the other hand looks cheap or rather the dress looks cheap, in black or red or just any other single colour it would have look good.

  22. LittleDeadGirl says:

    Lily looks the best out of all of them. Sophia looks cheap in that dress.

  23. Ally says:

    Other than the celebrity father, I feel like Lily Collins is Camilla Belle 2.0. A petite, striking, yet forgettable brunette.

  24. ZenB!tch says:

    I just saw Mirror Mirror. It disturbed me. She looks 12 (literally) and the Prince looked like one of those men from Dynasty. He looked like a better match for Julia.

    She’s pretty in an odd way but totally not sexy and totally not adult looking.
