Best Dressed 2013

Awards season is almost upon us and a tidal wave of red carpet fashion is about to hit. It's without doubt my favourite time of the year, and for me there's nothing better than when everything I love collides over the next few months. It's this combination of film and fashion that inspired me to begin doing Best Dressed lists, focusing primarily on my favourite awards.

Since I started I've become much more aware of what styles I like and which I really don't, which designers I covet, and who I know will always display sartorial excellence. Although I don't do blog posts on them all I'm always glued to reports on premieres, festivals and talk shows not only because of the films and the gossip, but also to scope out the fashion.

It only seems fitting to round off 2013 with a selection of the looks that I've simply adored and the people who just seem to constantly get it right fashion-wise over the last twelve months.

BFI Screen Talk with Marion Cotillard

It was just by sheer luck that I logged into Twitter on Friday when the BFI tweeted that a limited number of tickets had become available for a Screen Talk with Marion Cotillard on the 14th October, as part of the London Film Festival. Prior to this, I’d resigned myself to the fact that I wasn’t going to attend the festival in any way and would have to content myself to watching the entire event unfold over the Internet from the comfort of my room. Well, I’m all about the Impulse Buy these days and within minutes I’d bought myself a ticket and smugly watched as the event sold out.
