2015 Red Carpet Review: the best dresses of the year

From Emma Stone to Jennifer Lawrence here are the best red carpet dresses from 2015

Whilst many of us are still foraging around for left over Quality Streets, a very select group of people are gearing up for the biggest red carpet events of the year; awards season.

No sausage rolls on the diet plans of these A-listers as the first major event of the year is on January 10th - the Golden Globes, quickly followed by the Screen Actors Guild awards, the BAFTAs and then the Academy Awards in February.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, here's a look back at some of the best gowns from 2015:

The year began well with seasoned red carpet dresser Diane Kruger in a silver gown by Brit designer Emilia Wickstead at the Golden Globes- simple and elegant.

Emma Stone mixed things up at the same event choosing a jumpsuit by Lanvin rather than a more traditional red carpet gown.

Beyonce dared to bare at the Met Gala in a revealing embellished gown from Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci.

Onto Cannes Film Festival where it was Sienna Miller's year, as a judge at the prestigious film event she had ample opportunity for red carpet appearances, one of her best was in a soft blue tulle skirted gown by Gucci.
