InStyle magazine hosted their annual Women of Style Awards last night in Sydney, drawing a fabulously dressed crowd to Eveleigh's CarriageWorks. Designer Carla Zampatti was honoured with the Fashion Award, and an absentee Nicole Kidman was awarded the Hall of Fame gong. We, as usual, were just as interested in scoping out the what the A-list crowd wore to this style-driven event as who-won-what. Lindy Klim wowed in a sculptural Toni Maticevski number, The Voice alumn' Emma Birdsall went the retro route in a brocade Carla Zampatti number, Samara Weaving showed off her killer figure in a sheer-spliced LBD and Kate Waterhouse kept it casual in a relaxed Lanvin top + pant combo.

Oh Snap! The AACTA Awards Red Carpet is Giving Us Dress Déjà Vu
We couldn't help but notice that some of the stellar celebrity dresses from last night's AACTA Awards in Sydney looked mighty familiar to us. We're all for recycling a fabulous frock, don't get us wrong now, and hey! If it's good enough for Kate Middleton, it's certainly good enough for Sydney's A-list attendees. From Jessica Mauboy's second Steven Khalil gown for the evening, to Jessica McNamee's sophisticated Carl Kapp sheath to the Dior dress that is making its third red carpet appearance — we want to get your take on who wore it best. Go on, you know you've got an opinion.
2012 ARIA Awards: Who Wore What
Bold, bright colour, graphic prints and pale and pretty looks were the top three trends we noticed on the ARIA Awards red carpet. Ricki-Lee Coulter, DJ Havana Brown and Sarah De Bono opted for stand-out colour, while punchy prints were the way forward for Nicki Minaj (in Camilla), Kimbra, Jesinta Campbell and Ruby Rose (via a custom-designed Romance Was Born frock). Then there was the pale and interesting brigade; Taylor Swift's romantic Elie Saab gown and Samantha Jade's sculptural number adding a little elegance to the black carpet. We can't pick a favourite (yet), so we're rounding up all the celebrity looks so that you can make an informed decision. Step inside and see who wore what to the 2012 ARIA Awards.

Tweets of the week: Guy, Nicole, Ellen, Justin & More!
This has been a bit of a bumper week when it comes to celebrities on social media! First we introduced you to all the best people to follow on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, then we brought you our Top 10 total round up and now? Well now we're winding down with a collection of the best tweets of the week. From Guy Sebastian lamenting a lost opportunity with beauty giant Chanel, to Alexa Chung taking issue with children's game pass the parcel, we were highly amused, often bemused and once or twice, a little confused, when we caught up with all the best stars on Twitter. Keen to know more? One of our favourite male actors is new to the Twittersphere — and you'll never guess who he credits with convincing him to join — Nicole Richie is making a case for under-eye bags and Ellen DeGeneres has some rather unusual carry-on luggage . . . But there's heaps more, still. You'd better clicking and reading!
Myer Launches Spring/Summer 2013 With Stylish Australian Stars
Lots of Australian stars made their way to the Hordern Pavilion for Myer’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection launch last night. Runway star and Myer ambassador Jennifer Hawkins glittered in gold sass & bide on the black carpet, keeping her appearance short and sweet so she could get ready for the catwalk. Kris Smith looked smart in a suit — and showed off some facial hair — before revealing his shirtless physique to model upcoming men’s Summer fashion. Laura Dundovic and Laura Csortan matched in metallics, wearing Jayson Brunsdon and Manning Cartell respectively, while Jesinta Campbell was glowing in floral Manning Cartell and excited to talk about her recent trip to LA, Vegas and Mexico, telling us, “It was so much fun. It was funny — there was a write-up the other day about the tan, and they said how fake it looked and how shocking it was. And I said, ‘Let me tell you, Mexico does not come in a can!’” TV stars were also well represented, with The Voice’s Emma Birdsall, Sarah De Bono and Darren Percival, MasterChef’s Andy Allen and Ben Milbourne, and Sunrise’s Melissa Doyle and David Koch attending.

See Katy Perry's Celeb-Filled Guest List in Sydney!
Katy Perry is in town, did you know? Pop was front and centre on the red carpet on Saturday night for the Australian premiere of Katy Perry: Part of Me, quizzing the pop star of her Aussie fans. We have some serious time for Ms Perry's crucifix-embellished Versace cocktail frock and ever-popular Un Bout Louboutins, but think that the celeb-filled red carpet deserves a little attention, too. Ricki-Lee Coulter looked sexy in slick strides by one of our favourite local labels Watson X Watson which she teamed with a Viktor & Rolf shirt and Isabel Marant heels, Ruby Rose got cute in a cartoon-ish ensemble and The Voice's Emma Birdsall worked her signature retro style in an elegant LBD by LP33. Snoop who wore what on Katy's pink carpet. . .
