On the red carpet: Kerry Washington, Carey Mulligan, Emmy Rossum and Rita Ora

Celebs on the red carpet this week...

Kerry Washington

Why choose between trousers and a train when both look so good? Kerry Washington was fabulous in Atelier Versace at the Tony Awards in New York.

This crystal-studded silver suit is fit for a superhero. Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a glossy bob completed the look.

Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan dresses with exceptional modesty for a young actress and usually in block colours.

This Giambattista Valli dress, with its sunflower print and unseasonably expansive cut, was a compromise for the flamboyant Tony Awards.

Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum was lovely in Paule Ka at the celebration for Shameless’ centenary episode in Hollywood.

The A-line sundress cut is classic but could perhaps do with one more fitting.

Rita Ora

Prada womenswear is sometimes termed “clothing that women like and men do not understand”.

I don’t think Rita Ora is playing to either gender with her look for the Capital Summertime Ball in London.

The CeeBeebies crowd, maybe, or Fraggle Rock.
