Last night’s Brit Awards event was a star studded girlie night, with Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Florence, Pixie Lott, Alicia Keys and Cheryl Cole all rocking up for the ceremony. The boys barely got a look in, not that we’re complaining… It meant there were lots of gorgeous outfits for us to enjoy!

The Brits are one of our fave fashion events of the year, with celebs daring to bring out their rock star side and let their hair down. This year, sequins and lace detailing for LBDs set the tone for the evening. Celebs wore their hemlines high and shoes higher, teamed with on-trend tights to ward off the February chill without compromising their fashionista style credibility. Here’s how to steal the Brits star style:

Alicia Keys rocked in sequins, structured shoulders and peep-toe ankle cuff shoes.

And we were glad to see the lovely Cheryl Cole putting on a brave face for her performance. She was also rocking a huge trend for SS10 – Macs. Finally, star style that keeps out the cold! Hurrah.

We’ve just heard the news that Ugly Betty has been cancelled after four brilliant seasons… Sob! The world of fashion TV will never be the same again.

Good to see that even this bombshell hasn’t derailed our favourite quirky, colourful character’s sense of style. America Ferrera wraps up to beat the January chill with a nod to nautical colours and detailing with her red shoes, blue tights and cute navy buttoned coat. We love the way she adds trademark kookiness by mixing it up with a statement handbag.

Ugly Betty is in its fourth season in America but has yet to air in the UK, we can’t wait for our fix of new Mode action but we’ll be sad to see Betty leave our screens for good. At least we still have a while to steal her style!

Last night’s Brit awards launch party was just as much about the outfits as it was about the music. A sharp contrast to the Glamour of the Golden Globes, this party was all about being edgy, sassy and letting your inner rock chick shine through.

The nominations were star-studded, with La Roux, Florence and the Machine and Pixie Lott being just a few of our fave fashionistas in the running for a Brit award. But it was host Fearne Cotton who stole the show for us. Fearne made an on-trend style statement in a bright blue belted tunic, the perfect transitional season outfit. She teamed it with sheer patterned tights and shoe boots to toughen up the girlie tunic and her patterned tights added a quirky touch.

So, thanks to the lovely Fearne, tunics are officially our new style crush – versatile enough to dress down with pumps and leggings for the day time, or match with a statement belt and fab heels for evenings. Why not try out your favourite tunic outfits in our Look Book? Just browse the site and select ‘add to Look Book’ on the items you’d like to match together.

The Golden Globes saw the Hollywood A-list out in force last night, gracing the red carpet in their finery. Of course we were excited to see who’d won what, but we were more excited about who wore what!

Chloe Sevigny tried a trend that’s set to be big in 2010 – gorgeous feminine details, ruffles and sheer fabric. Drew Barrymore looked amazing in another huge look for spring – nudes.

We couldn’t listen to another word about the cold and the snow, so we were thrilled to see Davina McCall show up in the nick of time to spring to the rescue with Celebrity Big Brother 7 and Got To Dance. Now we’re all happily gossiping away about the housemates (poor Basshunter getting dumped!) and trying out the moves we’ve seen on Got To Dance without a second thought about the weather.

But it’s not just the January TV fix that has us tuning in, we love her style, too. Davina McCall is the original yummy mummy, pairing sleek black staples with on-trend key pieces to give her style an edge whilst still being super-wearable.
