#9: Emeli Sande

Where: the Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year Awards in London, England.

Why: We’re digging the singer’s lovely floral frock. The soft painterly pattern juxtaposed with bright green trim and pony haired booties adds a funky touch. Get the look!

#7: Corinne Bailey Rae

Where: The Barclaycard Mercury Prize at The Roundhouse in London, England.

Why: The songstress has nailed this sweet and chic style, and it works perfectly for her. We simply adore this oversized petal colllar shift dress with sheer hem, and the thigh-highs channeling sexy school girl. Get the look!

#4: Alexandra Burke

Where: The Pride Of Britain awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England.

Why: We love to see fab separates done well on the carpet, and Burke gets a thumbs up from us. Instead of the traditional gown, this Brit beauty opted for a see-through pussy bow blouse and dramatic maxi skirt for a pretty Parisian feel. Get the look!

#3: Halle Berry

Where: The premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures’ Cloud Atlas in Oktyabr cinema hall in Moscow, Russia.

What: Nothing says va-va-va-voom like a little leather and Halle is braving the brisk Moscow weather to show off this Catherine Malandrino number, and we’re certainly thankful. Get the look!

#2: Lianne La Havas

Where: The Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize 2012 at The Roundhouse in London, England.

Why: This Brit newbie has sharpened up her vintage grunge style for the red carpet and we love it! A sleek long sleeve gown couldn’t have been a better choice –– it’s a polished look for her without trying too hard. Get the look!
