Full Length and Fabulous

In keeping with my celebration of dresses and with the disappointing news that the Golden Globes are too be cancelled announced, here are some of my favourite red carpet - worthy dresses from the spring/summer shows, to fill that empty void.

I love these floaty Grecian - esque dresses. The frothy, pink colour of this Marchesa dress is soft, feminine and dreamlike whereas the rich aubergine of this Gianfranco Ferre is sophisticated and regal in a slightly Arabian princess way. Keira Knightley would be the perfect candidate for these flowing gowns.

I love this Nina Ricci princess dress. Again it is Goddess - like, with it's flowing, gossamer - like skirt and feminine sweetheart neckline. This Dior is a particularly glamorous number. Red satin screams attention and seduction. Angelina Jolie would be the perfect lady in red, in this Dior.

The attention to detail is what captured my attention with these two dresses. This Zac Posen is delicate and fragile and the epitome of gracefulness. The Galliano may just appear to be a regular black satin evening gown, but with closer inspection it is a intricately detailed and gorgeously structured dress. With it's unusual details, this take on a classic would be fabulous on Kirsten Dunst.

This Marchesa may not be full - length but it sure is fabulous. I love the rich, sumptuous layers and the '50s - princess feel. This dress looks quite Reese Witherspoon but I'd love to see Sienna in it too. Again this Dior is all about the glamour. The fringing and beading continues the '20s trend and the black and sparkle add extra drama. Cameron Diaz with her tall stature could steal any show in this.The texture and colours of these two dresses are certainly show - stopping. Silver and black shimmer in this Nina Ricci dress with it's unusual yet elegant, flowing tail. This Zac Posen is of the most wonderful, delicate shades and reminds me of nothing more then a Monet painting.

This mauve Gianfranco Ferre stole my heart! Again another Grecian Goddess dress with it's flowing shape and gold waist belt. Keira could certainly pull this off too but maybe even Mischa Barton or Mary Kate Olsen. This McQueen probably isn't red - carpet appropriate but I just love the feathered wing detail. Utterly strange and wonderful.

The deep blue of this Zac Posen is modern yet the shape is elegant and sophisticated. The colour just jumped out at me and I'm sure would guarantee all eyes on you. This Nina Ricca is adorable - the ultimate princess dress!
