Rihanna hit up Glamour Magazine’s 2009 Women Of The Year ceremony yesterday night at Carnegie Hall in NYC, where she was honored the “Back-On-Top Superstar” award, rocking this uber fab, carefully constructed Stephane Rolland gown.. and it had pockets!
Not sure how I feel about this look. What do you guys think? Did she hit it out the park? Or is this a strike?

Celebs,
HIT or MISS,
Red Carpet Style Ashanti hit the red carpet for Vh1’s Hip-Hop Honor’s last night, where anybody who is anybody in the urban music scene was there, in this very… umm… “not quite her” get-up:
She rocked a gray, mini Brian Reyes dress, Louis Vuitton thigh high boots, and Gemela Amor shades by Coco & Breezy (those girls are dopeness magnified!) The look would probably look good on Amber Rose, but this isn’t Ashanti’s style. Not sure how I feel about it, so…

Yesterday evening the stars came out to the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, and while I was looking forward to the glitz and the glam I was sure would take place, I was a tad disappointed. They brought it, but they didn’t bring it all the way home:
The self styled Blake Lively stunned in a sexy red Versace dress, with a plunging neckline and open back. She completed the look with Christian Louboutin shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Blake has stated time & time again that she doesn’t have a stylist, and while she usually misses, leading me to write letters to her fan club begging her to get one, she brought it on this one. HIT
Seal played it safe in a Costume National suit, as usual, letting his wife Heidi Klum own the spotlight in a belly hugging Marchesa dress, Christian Louboutin shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Heidi is my personal red carpet favorite, and her choosing to do a body hugging dress as opposed to the usual maternity dress that covers the belly, was a HIT!
Kim Kardashian and a very pregnant Kourtney Kardashian hit the carpet together, both with completely different looks. Kim rocked an asymmetrical white Ina Soltani dress, Gucci shoes, Swarovski clutch and Siera earrings. Kourtney rocked an extremely boring midnight blue BCBG dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Super Gem jewels. Kim gets a HIT, but for the lack of glam on Kourtney’s part, she gets a MISS.

Award Shows,
Celebs,
HIT or MISS,
Red Carpet Style The BET Awards is the first award show to air since the passing of Michael Jackson. So, as you may know, emotion was everywhere and Michael inspirations and impersonations were everywhere on the red carpet:
Beyonce rocked a mini sequenced Balmain dress from the Spring 2009 collection, and some very interestingly cool shoes. While the show was airing, and she was accepting her award for ‘Best Female R&B Artist’ I was like “what is that shaking on her shoe?” But, as usual, Bey looked great. HIT.
Keri Hilson came out rocking an interesting colorful stars (and other shapes) dress. I’m guessing this one is from her stylist Brea Stinson’s line B. Star. Surprisingly, I love her look! HIT

The biggest night in fashion went down in NYC Monday night, The Met Costume Institute Gala, and as usual, it didn’t fail to sizzle and leave mouths open! The looks were nothing short of dramatic, and while some people passed with flying colors, others failed to make the grade:
Chanel Iman sizzled in a flirty Zac Posen animal print gown. While her accessories shined too, it made sure to not outshine the real star- the dress. HIT
Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr turned heads in this sexy, revealing fringe Jil Sander’s dress. Usually, I’m all for the extremely dramatic floor length, poof sleeve, 3 foot train dresses for an event like this, but Miranda worked it out in this little black dress. HIT
They usually funky Agyness Deyn went retro Hollywood glam in this silver Burberry gown. While she kept it simple in this shiny silver dress, and minimal accessories, her hair & make-up stole the show. The Costume Institute Gala is all about taking risks, and because Agyness stepped out of the box, compared to her usual style, it’s a HIT!
The biggest surprise of the night, and the person everyone was on the look out for- Rihanna, turned heads in her Dolce & Gabbana feminine tuxedo suit with exaggerated shoulders. While this was a MISS for most people, I think it was perfect! Had this been the Grammy’s, she would have got a MISS from me. But for crying out loud, this is the COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA! She kept that in mind, so she gets a HIT.

HIT or MISS,
Red Carpet Style Christina Milian appeared at her exclusive listening party at Zune in L.A. recently rocking this cut out Louis Vuitton dress with metallic finish and Jimmy Choo sandals:
Although I do like her half up-do, I am on the fence about the outfit. I love the shoes, and at some glances the dress too- then I glance back and I’m like, eehh. I don’t know, so…

HIT or MISS 
Rihanna was publicly spotted for the first time since her Grammy-morning altercation last month. She was seen coming out of her black SUV earlier today. Not sure what she’s in town for, most likely to meet with her label to discuss new album details. How ever, those shoes are NOT cute, and I’m not sure how I feel about mixing patent, sheer and ashy “washed way too many times” cotton. Nonetheless, it’s good to see her back! My only questions is…..
HIT or MISS?

The 51st Annual Grammy Awards went down last night at the Staples Center. While the red carpet this year was a tad blah and boring to me, I have to bring it to you regardless:
Jennifer Hudson made her appearance in a RM by Roland Mouret trenet high neck dress and Christian Louboutin pumps. She looked fabulous, and the dress looked amazing on her. However, wasn’t feeling the pumps with this dress. Fab chick none the less. HIT
My fellow Aries, Leona Lewis, showed up in a nude Randi Rahm gown. Not really feeling the hair or the fit of the dress. Chick has a great body and she always seem to effortlessly lead us to believe otherwise. MISS.
Best dressed of the night, Miley Cyrus, hit the carpet in a Max Azria original. As she puts it, “he bedazzled it just for me”. Miley accessorized her look with a Max Azria Atelier bag, BCBG heels, and jewels from Mimi So and Atelier Swarovski. HIT

The 15th Annual SAG Awards went down tonight (Januaray 25th), and with this year being the biggest year in movies, the stars pulled out their Sunday’s Best (literally):
Eva Longoria Parker brought along the hubby Tony Parker. Eva looked stunning in a peach chiffon Jenny Packham gown and H. Stern jewels. Loves it. HIT
Ugly Betty star America Ferrera wore a nude Vera Wang gown and Fred Leighton jewelry. The dress was risky but she pulled it off. HIT
SAG (and Oscar) nominee for Best Supporting Actress, Taraji P. Henson wore a simple white Herve Leroux gown. Pretty simple, especially being that she was a nominee. I just want to see Taraji come harder, way harder. But still not bad. HIT (but barely)

Celebs,
HIT or MISS,
Red Carpet Style Meagan Good hit up Karu & Y in Miami to ring in the New Year’s in this get up:
For one, she seems to really love her Report Signature shoes, and for two– love the hair! It seems to me that Miss Meagan is trying to become some sort of symbol of fashion by playing with fashion in many wrong ways. Mixing fabrics that should not mixed, layering too many articles of clothing at once and she seems to not know how to “switch it up”. *sigh*
Anywhoooo… HIT or MISS?
