Check Mate...

The hottest celebrity trend on the red carpet right now has to be the Louis Vuitton 60s inspired checkered prints. 

Jessica alba showed the checkered look can be pulled off by curvier figures in monochrome and midi length at the Golden Globes afterparty. Kerry Washington on the other hand opted for a figure skimming version catered to slimline figures at the Django Unchained premiere.

Kirsten Dunst donned a floor length version. I like it on Kirsten but personally that's way to much print for me. I would stick to midi and mini versions.

My faves have to be the mini dress worn by Miroslava Duma and Miranda Kerr. I also love the matching jacket Miroslava added to her look.

Kristen Stewart was one of the first celebs to rock the checkered look in a playsuit at the Breaking Dawn Part II photocall last year in Tokyo.

 This is a tricky trend to try at home but I've seen some more subtle checkered pieces from Topshop and River Island.

The Best and Worst of the Golden Globes...

The Golden Globes; an awards ceremony second only to the Oscars'!

We saw the anticipated return of Adele, a 'coming out' speech from Jodie Foster and a very special guest: Hilary Clinton's husband!! Here's my list of the best and worst dressed.

THE BEST...

Now I know a lot of people are trying to give this one to the original Jennifer in Ben Affleck's life but I have to disagree... The best dressed has to go to the usually plain Jennifer Garner in this sequinned Vivienne Westwood gown. She just looks so stunning

Taylor Swift used the red carpet event to once again remind her ex of what had been lost in this backless Donna Karan Couture gown. The front is a little boring which is acceptable because the back is just gorgeous. Eggplant is such a great colour on her too.

Yummy Mummy Adele made her red carpet comeback in Burberry channeling 60s ladylike and demure glamour in slimming black, while Yummy Mummy to be Kristen Bell glowed in her adorable Jenny Packman gown. Awww.

Striking gold again this year was 15 year old Ariel Winter in this sweet Valentino Resort dress paired with sparkly Benjamin Adams pumps (right). Simple makeup with a bright lip and THAT headband made Ariel look age appropriate and the envy of all prom queen wannabes. 

The Latina Lovelies were without a doubt striking in their gowns! While J.Lo opted for super sexy in this Zuhair Murad sheer dress which fit like second skin, Jessica Alba stuck with cute in this coral Oscar de la Renta number.

THE WORST...

Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera and Halle Berry in Versace were hands down the worst choices of the night. There are no words.

And surprisingly, two stars who opted for unflattering attire were Sophia Bush in Lisa Ho and Kerry Washington in Miu Miu. Sophia's gown seemed to drown her, making her look frumpy, whilst Kerry seemed to make no effort with hair, makeup or accessories and killed an otherwise gorgeous dress.
