Glamour Awards

Yes, it was the Glamour Awards on Tuesday night and sorry it has taken so long to post a blog about it. 

As you know, I love Glamour magazine and in the ideal dream world that I think about most days, I would be a features and entertainment writer like Scarlett Russell. I loved her recent work in July 2011s edition (with Adele as the beautiful cover star)! She interviewed some of the Women of the Year winners including:

Entrepreneur: Kim Kardashian

Editor's Special Award: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Comedy Actress: Miranda Hart

Film Actress: Gemma Arterton

Pandora Breakthrough: Ellie Goulding

and

Band: The Saturdays

Look at all those fabulous people that she interviewed and wrote a piece on as a job for the UKs top selling women's magazine! What a life! I'd love to ask her all about it or shadow her for a day. 

Anyway, back to the Glamour Awards...

Of course all the stars looked uber-sexy and glammed up for this huge event! It would be amazing to attend and I would definitely buy some designer dress to wear to the occasion.

The Glamour Awards were also sponsored by one of my favourite things... Pandora. I love my Pandora to pieces and I only need one more charm to complete the bracelet! My friends all chipped in and bought me it as a special gift for my 18th birthday. 

Then, I was given four charms in total from my best friend and parents. It was a beautiful start and I carried on building it. 

Every charm has a specific meaning behind it which is why I love the Memories collection so much as it gives you exactly that.

Prima Ballerina

I was surfing on Twitter and link by link I came across images of Black Swan on Glamourmagazine.co.uk showcasing the two dresses, the two characters and the two personalities of Nina (Natalie Portman).

The White Swan

The Black Swan 

These beautiful pieces were created by costume designer, Amy Westcott. 

Both pieces distinctly represent each side of Nina's personality; the white dress determines her purity at the beginning of the film whereas the black dress represents what she has become. 

The film itself is a roller coaster of emotion, including lesbian fantasies, phantom dreams, self destruction and a dire passion for dance. 

It is confusing and unpredictable and the end is definitely worth the wait, ending on a high and then plummeting to the ground.

When Black Swan came to the cinemas in January, fashion pages glorified the dancing theme, putting ballerina-esque pieces on its pages and designers filled the runways with floaty chiffon in neutral colours, nude, light pinks and white making every woman look like a Prima Ballerina. 

Hair was twisted into a bun yet again, tight, messy, playful, all the different kinds that fashion has seen over many years. It is a simple up-do used to keep your hair off your face in an elegant and sophisticated way. 

And finally Black Swan even inspired Adidas Shoes for children.

It goes to show that any little girl can be a swan if they wanted to.
