British singer Corinne Bailey Rae looks so chic at the InStyle Best of British Talent BAFTA party. (try saying that three times fast.) On her way into the soiree she poses with fellow Brit Will Young who won the first season of “Pop Idol”, the UK’s version of American Idol.

She is wearing an Alexander McQueen dress which is so appropriate since he is the British designer still fresh on our minds after passing away a year ago. The long-sleeve black satin dress is detailed with gold embroidery at the top.  She exudes elegance without trying too hard. Her hair is so beautiful in those natural curls. The makeup is flawless. I love the gold eye shadow that perfectly fits with the dress and makes her face light up. The natural lip is a nice simple touch. The dress stands out so I like how she keeps makeup and accessories simple.

Glad to see Corinne Bailey Rae attending events. She is definitely one of Britain’s best. At the moment I’m loving her rendition of Bob Marley’s “Is this love”. Looking forward to more good music from her.
