So, we've had gimp masks and bondage at the Brits, lace and black McQueen at the BAFTA's - it's been a rollercoaster ride withe Gaga at the healm screeching for JonBenet Ramsey and a saline drip. With all this Brit eccentricity flying about in the Fashion capital, what can we expect from our yankee counterparts? Lets remind ourselves of all this fashion extravangance...

     Lady Gaga      


Lady Gaga, you crazy thing...what shall we do with you - admire you? adore you? or simply wrap you up in tin foil and roast you for all your fashion bizarrrrrities.And lace gimp - so the seasons hottest new trend - if you cant hack another round of florals...


               Cheryl Cole


...and Cheryl Cole, even if your marriage is on the rocks, this 80's revival is not one I can agree with - bad, bad choice...


                Dizzee Rascal and Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine


Another fabulous lady red-head - oh Florence, how we do love thee...and the anatomy-influenced dress - me likey!

                          Lily Allen
   

....Cabaret, Lily Allen? Fabulous!!!

And a bit O the BAFTA's...

   The Baftas red carpet: Audrey Tatou   The Baftas red carpet: Orange British Academy Film Awards 2010 - Red Carpet Arrivals

   The Baftas red carpet: Orange British Academy Film Awards 2010 - Inside Red Carpet Arrivals   The Baftas red carpet: Carey Mulligan at the Baftas


   The Baftas red carpet: Anna Kendrick   The Baftas red carpet: Bafta Film Awards, Royal Opera House, London. 21st February 2010.


It's my bet that for the Oscar's, McQueen will be out in force, followed by a touch of Erdem - the Brit designer of the moment, followed by a dash of the favourites - Dior, Galliano et al. Let's hope we can steer clear of that all too easy Gaga overkill, and the nude and orange-tango-tan disaster combo, and we might be on the track to some fanciful fashion favourites...even if we really know that us Brits did it first, and did it best!
