Fashion Hits: Inaugural Celebratios

Forget the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Grammys - President Obama's inaugural celebrations are shaping up to be the hottest fashion ticket of 09.

Michelle Obama has embraced her new role as the first lady of style - dazzling us in that gorgeous Jason Wu gown that's sure to go down in the history books.



Hollywood A-listers keen to jump on the bandwagon of the momentous event showed off their fashion credentials at the various parties. Standout looks include Keri Washington in a metallic gown at the Creative Coalition Gala.



J-Lo rocked the party in a mint green Marchesa gown at the Western Inaugural Ball.



Beyonce serenaded the first couple while looking fabulous in an Armani Prive gown.



Demi Moore attended an MTV inauguration party in Donna Karan and of course finished off her outfit with the best accessory a girl could hope for a tux'd up Ashton Kutcher.



And Anne Hathaway wowed us in a red Dior floor sweeper and looks glowing and fresh now that she's out of that skeletor phase ... ribs and bones so not a good look. Although in the circumstances we'll let her off.

As we move closer to spring the bronzed look used to brighten up dull winter skin has to go to make way for something altogether fresher. A look I like to call 'faux natural' personified by Kate Bosworth and Kerry Washington. These two always look flawless and you'd be hard pressed to point out that they're wearing make up but you know they must be as no one look that great naturally. Beaming fresh skin, lovely doe eyes and glossy hair all merge together in one truly gorgeous package.
The key to this look is creamy textures. So soft liquid foundation with the lightest dusting of sheer translucent powder on top and cream blusher. The blusher especially just wakes up the face and just gives skin a touchable softness.

Here are three of the best:

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge, Nars the Multiple, Daniel Sandler watercolour liquid blushers.
