Fashion Critical rates the best and the not so best looks on the red carpet

THE Logies red carpet had a bit of everything, including the beautiful, the baffling and the borderline weird. Fashion Critical cast a judgmental eye over it.

Logies 2018: Best & Worst Dressed

THE 2018 Logies was packed with surprises. One of the biggest bombshells was that I actually tuned in for at least 40 minutes of the ceremony. A record 40 minutes more than the past five years gone by. I was also surprised by the volume of ice cream I ate during this time period. After my third helping, I transitioned from a dessert spoon to a teaspoon, hoping the ice cream would last longer. It didn’t.

I was also surprised by some of my best and worst red-carpet choices. Some of my old favourites disappointed (I’m looking at you Asher), while a few dark horses came through with the goods. Without further ado, let’s dissect my faves and not so faves from last night’s 2018 Logies red carpet.

I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING

Shelley Craft you actual goddess. I am falling over dead for this. RIP me. Thanks for coming. I can’t even. Slay me. You get the picture. I am loving for this in every way. It is absolute perfection. The colour, the cut, the styling. Absolutely brilliant. *Insert praise emoji*

Shelley Craft blows my socks off with this absolute dish of a dress.

Equally dazzling is Sylvia Jeffries in this dark, sparkling number. This would not be out of place at the Oscars. I’ll bet baby Stefanovic was BESIDE himself standing next to his Mrs all night in this get up.

Sylvia Jeffries dazzles. Extra points for nail colour.

What’s the point in even trying when former Miss World Australia Erin Holland turns up looking like this? This is EPIC. And the cut out back was to die for as well. Honestly, I feel like she’s trolling us. Who could even BE this hot in real life?

This is a total style departure for Amanda Keller and I am LIVING FOR IT! Totally glamorous and flattering on her figure. She looks STUNNING. Even despite a baby fraggle sacrificing itself for her sleeves. My only complaint would be that she needs a slightly higher heel or a slightly shorter hem.

Amanda Keller: Yaaaassss kween!!

Andy Lee’s girlfriend Rebecca Harding is a VISION in this ensemble. The entire look is award-winning. Considering she probably spent eleventy three hours getting ready for this event, ya reckon Andy could have washed his hair? Gender inequality in grooming is a real thing, you guys.

AW, HELL NO

I don’t know who this is but this dress will haunt me in my dreams. It is almost amazing, but that sheer corset? WHAT EVEN THE HELL IS THAT? And the boning of said corset region gave her a muffin top, despite being 61 feet tall and having the body of a super model. By the power of Bert Newton, why?

I don’t know much, but I sure as heck know that the future bachelorette of ‘Straya should have been given a better dress than THIS to wear. The tribe has spoken, you have not received a rose. This is the tablecloth that grandmother rejects.

Ali (I don’t know her last name)’s dress choice disappoints me deeply.

Go directly to (farshun) jail. DO NOT pass GO. Do NOT collect $200. Obvs didn’t get my memo yesterday about not wearing RIDICULOUS voluminous dresses to the Logies. This is not Cannes. This is not the Met Gala. You are only a short distance from Jupiter’s Casino. Let’s get some perspective.

I do not know this person’s name but this dress is a no for me. Picture: AAP

Oh Leila. Good on you for throwing caution to the wind and trying something different. You actually look pretty smoking, though I think the crazy dress and the crazy hair together might have taken things too far. Also, if you unravel this dress, you can conveniently use it to bedazzle an entire living room for New Year’s Eve! Hip, hip, hooray!

Leila McKinnon let’s her hair down and bedazzles herself to smithereens in this golden frock.

That’s all for now folks. You can check out my full album of outfit reviews on Facebook.

And a few extra observations on my Insta. Ciao! *waves dramatically*
