The great and the good of classical music were out in force last night, as the nominees for this year’s Classical Brit Awards were announced at London’s Mayfair Hotel.

And while we know it is all about the music, t5m couldn’t resist sizing up all the outfits on show and deliberating over which dress we would quite like to wear if we were ever to grace the red carpet of a glittering awards ceremony. Would it be Katherine Jenkins’ black and white lace asymmetric gown with peep-toe shoes and Bardot-worthy hair? Or, New Zealand’s premier soprano Hayley Westenra’s knee-length flirty pastel dress with adorable silver sandals?

And of course, special mention should go to Britain’s Got Talent prodigy Faryl Smith, who at the tender of age of 13 was snapped up with a £2.3million record deal, making her one of the fastest rising stars in opera and definitely one to keep your eye on. Faryl looked ever inch the star last night, with her midnight-blue prom dress and metallic pumps, and a very impressive blow dry.

But ultimately, the prize for best dressed star has to be the one and only Myleene Klass, who flew the patriotic flag wearing a voluminous, wet-look Vivienne Westwood wrap-dress, incredible Stephen Jones Union-Jack  mini-top hat and vertiginous Yves Saint Laurent Tribute heels. Injecting some fun and energy into the proceedings, the evening’s host Myleene was by far the most fashion-forward of the bunch, opting out of the high-maintenance, uber-groomed preserve of many red carpet stars and go for something far more chic and daring.

While not everyone appreciated Myleene’s outfit, we all think she looked fab and cannot wait to see what Ms. Klass will be wearing on the 14th May!
