Perfect skin, envy-worthy brows, and perfect lashes: what every woman wants and exactly what we saw all over last night’s MMVA red carpet. Each red carpet makeup look started with a perfect canvas: flawless complexion and defined features (a.k.a serious contouring). If you’re not a makeup guru or tutorial enthusiast, contouring is about using makeup to enhance, or defined features in order to achieve overall skin perfection.

With perfected skin MMVA 2014 attendees played up a different version of the typical smoky eye/ pale lip combo. Unlike the traditional application, this lighter version places emphasis on larger-than-life lashes (instead of heavy shadow) to achieve sultry eyes. Even more eye-emphasis was achieved with full natural brow shapes, in darkened tones. Red carpet Lips were muted with pales tones varying from concealer-esque to soft corals and light pinks.

You know the Much Music Video Awards are in town when Queen Street shuts down for Toronto’s biggest music party of the summer. With a standout lineup of international musicians and Kendall and Kylie Jenner flub-less hosting, there was no doubt MMVA 2014 is becoming a must-watch music award show in the industry. Between the pajama-clad Marianas Trench literally rolling onto the red carpet and Ed Sheeran handing out free food, Toronto’s hottest show was bigger and better than ever.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner proved they were the front-runners of last night’s best-dressed list with the two changing into three eye-catching outfits for the two-hour show. However, leave it to the Kardashians Jenners to know how to get heads turning on the red carpet. While the younger of the two siblings was dressed in a bedazzling orange mini dress, Kendall upped Angelina Jolie’s infamous right leg at the 2012 Oscars, shocking the fans in a Fausto Puglisi dress with slits that went well past her thighs, exposing hip bone. Thanks to the beautiful weather and possibly rolls of double-sided tape, there were no wardrobe malfunctions.

With many celebrities dressed to the nines in metallic numbers on the red carpet, this week A-list stars needed no assistance from photographers’ flashing bulbs to shine. Bringing you oodles of wardrobe inspiration for those who have invitations to glam events this upcoming weekend, we round up our top 10 best-dressed celebs from this past week.

Net-A-Porter hosted an intimate dinner reception earlier this week in honour of Victoria Beckham to celebrate the launch of the Victoria, Victoria Beckham Fall 2014 collection and collab with contemporary art photographer Todd Hido. Hosted in New York City, some of fashion’s elite came to show their support for the designer, who looked ah-mazing in a form-fitting black dress from her Spring 2013 collection, including socialite Olivia Palermo, model and street style star Hanne Gaby Odiele, Tabitha Simmons and Garance Doré.

Fresh from dancing to music in the desert, Coachella regulars (Kate Bosworth, Poppy Delevingne and Emmy Rossum to name a few) switched out of their festival wear and glammed it up in Los Angeles at the launch party for Jimmy Choo’s new CHOO.08 brand. Hosted by the creative director Sandra Choi, the glam event had Solange Knowles working the DJ booth and a very enviable guest list, to boot. Mad Men leading ladies January Jones and Christina Hendricks both made an appearance, but it was young star Kiernan Shipka who led the pack, sartorially speaking, in a pretty spring dress.

Elsewhere in red carpet land, some of our favourite stars have been busy promoting films all over the world. Emma Stone—whose amazing hair we documented earlier this week—is currently wearing glam dress after glam dress in Europe with IRL beau Andrew Garfield to promote The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And down under, the royals aren’t the only ones getting attention: Kate Upton, Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann are all making waves while promoting The Other Woman in Sydney.

The Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night in L.A. drawing the stars of our favourite highly addictive shows. From Kerry to Carrie and beyond, the red carpet was lined with gown after gown of the most feminine pinks, vibrant blues and fresh off the runway pieces.

Making a simple but bold statement with fall’s pink trend, Rose Byrne showed clean lines in a petal pink Calvin Klein cropped two-piece as did January Jones in a textured Spring 2014 Givenchy strapless gown by Riccardo Tisci. Sisters Zooey and Emily Deschanel wore similarly hued gowns by J.Mendel and Houghton as they presented an award onstage. Blue was also popular for Tina Fey and Allison Williams, who worked cobalt blue in Narsico Rodriguez and Ralph Lauren respectively.

Our Emmys 2013 standouts include the ever-smoldering Sofia Vergara whose mind-blowing curves left us with body envy. The Modern Family star sizzled in a crimson Vera Wang gown and emerald Lorraine Schwartz earrings. Claire Danes, who walked away with a coveted Emmy for Best Actress in a Drama, was delicate in an off white Armani Privé Fall 2013 gown.

Accompanying the glamour came an evening chock full of surprises, laughs and unforgettable acceptance speeches. Memorable moments include the host Neil Patrick Harris’s mid-show musical number, Michael Douglas’s Liberace-esque speech and the funny and casually dressed Will Ferrell. With the best leading ladies in primetime television satisfying our sartorial needs on the red carpet and dapper gents as far as the eye could see at the Emmys 2013, glamour was definitely in the air!

Last night, Max Mara and W Magazine co-hosted a cocktail party at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles in honour of the True Grit star, Hailee Steinfeld. As the winner of the 2013 Max Mara’s Face Of The Future Award, the former Academy Award nominee follows the footsteps of past recipients Chloe Moretz, Katie Holmes, Zoe Saldana and Emily Blunt in recognition of “outstanding performances and their embodiment of style and grace” within the entertainment industry.

Though it seems like the guest of honour didn’t receive the memo to dress colourfully, Steinfeld looked stunning in a structured Sportmax grey cotton and neoprene sleeveless dress. Adding a pop of colour to her ensemble, she matched her outfit with a pair of fun black and neon yellow strappy heels. She completed her effortless look with her hair side swept into a low ponytail and coral statement lips.
