Award Show Fashion: 48th Golden Horse Awards

Over the weekend, Taiwan held the 48th Golden Horse Awards, their version of the Oscars. And the ladies dressed just as fashionable as their Hollywood counterparts. I must say these ladies are a bit more modest about showing their cleave than some of the HK celebs...

Tang Wei looked more like princess than that Kate girl in this light pink Valentino from the Resort 2012 collection.  Wei has never disappointed me before in her red carpet outfits, let's hope she continues to 'wow' us!

Ella Chen looked ultra femme in a pleated charcoal Andrew Gn dress from F/W 2011. I am always shocked when she wears dresses because I'm so used to seeing her as a tomboy.

Vivian Hsu is always one to beat on the red carpet, she showed up in a sequined Salvatore Ferragamo featuring a v-neck and a high slit. She always gets the best dresses and sponsored the nicest bling!

Carina Lau wore a form fitting gradient Atelier Versace gown from S/S 2011, working it like a true diva

Angelica Lee was a vixen in this body hugging strapless red satin dress

 Aoi Miyazaki beaded dress seemed a bit overwhelming for her thin frame

Hao Lei picked a Fan Qi Hui original design, she just needed some neck bling to make a simple look stand out more, otherwise it's a great teal color.

Jiang Wenli wore a Naeem Khan floral embroidered black dress that was both age appropriate and chic

Kara Hui chose a stand out chartreuse dress with tiered chiffon ruffles

Bowie Tseng also opted for a strapless chartreuse colored gown but with a jewel encrusted sweetheart neckline, I must say it looks a bit ill fitting in the bust area

Pink Yang wore a dress by Shiatzy Chen, I like the peep of ivory colored ruffles under the sheer black fabric

Qin Hailu tulle dress was not a favorite of mine, the puff sleeve looked to '80's prom for me 

Michelle Chen opted for a blush dress with rosettes and petals strewn about, it was both youthful and sweet

Tanaka Chie kept it simple and classy in a maroon Xia Zi Li original

Shu Qi in Giorgio Armani; looks like she's a clown on stilts with these large flared bell bottoms, instead of elongating her legs it just swallowed them up. I did however like the blazer which was actually backless

Rene Liu wore a white Lanvin that was just tragic...it was frumpy, shapeless and made her look like a paper towel roll



Award Show Fashion: 46th Taiwan Golden Bell Award

The 46th Golden Bell Awards aka Taiwan's version of the Emmy's brought the best in television together for a fancy night out.  I must say I was very impressed this time around.

The usually tomboyish Ella (from girl group S.H.E) looked feminine and stunning in this royal purple dress, held up by a thick gold chain.

A very pregnant Amanda Zhu was glowing in this gorgeous red one shouldered gown

Kimi Xia looked ready to walk down an aisle more than red carpet but still pulled off the look nicely in this white lace applique dress

Ji Pei Hui slicked back her hair to put focus on her sheer modern day qi pao

Sonia Sui showed a little more than leg on the red carpet in this high slit black dress..I guess it's a good thing she waxed -_-

Teng Xin was the big winner of the night, although the same could not be said about her dress, kind of makes her look like she has a third boob... 

Xiong Jia Jie also chose a black satin dress but with a peep of fuschia

Megan Lai took the safe route and opted for a simple black strapless dress

TV host Matilda Tao matched her shoes to her light brown strapless dress

Pink Yang  brought some texture to the mix with this one shouldered number

Amber An's halter dress looked sensational against her skin tone

Rainie Yang skipped the red carpet but worked it backstage in this navy dress paired with black leather gloves

Miss Ko stood out on the red carpet in this bright canary dress with jeweled embellishments

TV Host Janet channeled a South East Asian look for the red carpet

Penny Tseng picked a red off the shoulder dress and a messy updo to top it off

Qi Qin's red dress with a sweetheart neckline looked amazingly fitting for the occassion and her body

Li Jing's neck accessory really throws this look off, if (s)he's trying to hide her adam's apple, there are much better alternatives than a gold neck stretcher

Xiu Qin looks like a dragon lady with those gloves, did I miss the memo on gloves + evening dresses being cool again?

 Cindy Yen was trying way too hard to look sexy, I much prefer a curvier girl in a bandage dress than her to be honest

Effie Yuan in a ballerina explosion, way too much going on, lose the ruffle tulle skirt and maybe it could work 

Award Show Fashion: Next Magazine Entertainment Awards

I find myself caring more about what was worn, than what was won sometimes while watching award shows or ceremonies. Here's what I thought of the ladies at Taiwan's Next Magazine Entertainment Awards:

Best dress of the night was worn by Rainie Yang in a diamond pattern deep-v dress

S.H.E's Ella made a statement with her multi zippered jacket

Jolin Tsai's skintight dress was not a favorite of mine but I'm sure some photogs got a nosebleed from looking at it

Nothing ever looks bad on model Tia Li

Unfortunetly, Elva Hsiao gets my vote for the worst dress of the evening, this unflattering cream dress was further ruined by the exposed black bra, this type of dress is meant for pasties
