After the show, it’s the after party… Vanity Fair held their annual Oscar party in Hollywood and anyone who’s anyone came out to celebrate with the winners:
Jennifer Lopez and her hubster Marc Anthony of course hit the after party, and J. Lo switched it up to a black fitted gown with feather sleeve detail. Loving this look on her!
Oscar winner Sandra Bullock hit the red carpet with her husband Jesse James showing off her statue. It’s about time she got noticed for her work!
Cameron Diaz switched it up to a shorter, more sophisticated and mature look in this one shoulder glittering number. It’s a good look for her.
Jennifer Hudson came out in a simple flowing gown, in what seemed to be the color of the night- blue. Love this shade of blue, especially on her!
Father/daughter duo Zoe & Lenny Kravitz stuck together for the after party. Loving this duo, true rockstars!
Amber Rose’s relevancy is getting higher and higher every day! She came out to the exclusive A-list event and walked the carpet in this purple satin Origami bust gown. I love how she can go from sex symbol, to tomboy chic, to red-carpet glamazon!
Forest Whitaker hit the carpet with his gorgeous wife Keisha Whitaker. LOVING this look on Keisha! Stunning.

amfAR, the foundation for AIDS research, held their first ever charity event in Milan at La Premanente, co-hosted by Janet Jackson. The fashion elite took a break from the shows to support the effort to end the global AIDS epidemic:
Janet Jackson hit the carpet with Donatella Versace, both of course wearing Versace designs. Janet looked amazing in this blue wrap gown, and Donatella rocked a look straight off her S/S 2010 runway.
Burlesque queen, Dita Von Teese, rocked a pink and black satin rouched dress by Dolce & Gabbana. Typical retro look for Dita. She looks fab.
Model Chanel Iman rocked a beautiful black satin and sheer gown by Versace. Absolutely love this look for Chanel, and the hints of sheer seems to be really big for the upcoming season. One of the best dressed for the night.
Iconic Canadian model Linda Evangalista seemed to be unsettled about which fabric of choice to wear. Satin, velvet, fur, oh my! Dare I say it, she pulled this look off! Loving the vintage 40’s finger waves, and the bold red lipstick.
Kanye West & Amber Rose came matching in all black everything. I would have loved to see the two up the ante, because I know they definitely know how to bring it! And it looks like someone has a new piercing:
I am loving this “made for Barbie” shade of lipstick too! She rocks pink lips well, seems to be her fave shade.

Party & Bullshit,
Who ROCKED It? I called it about a month ago, these perforated thigh high Stella McCartney boots were going to take this season by storm! Rihanna was the first celebrity publicy seen rocking these boots a couple weeks ago, then Pussycat Dolls’ Melody Thornton rocked it a couple nights ago while celebrating her 26th birthday at Beso’s in LA:
Rihanna rocked it with a gray long sleeve dress, with white & light grey layers underneath, dark shades and plum lipstick, while Melody kept the look simple in a burgundy dress, and croc leather belt around the waist, not drawing any attention away from the boot. There’s no denying these boots are haute! So…
Who ROCKED it?

Candids,
Celebs,
Party & Bullshit,
What Not To Do Okay, so you guys know how big of a fan I am of Rihanna’s style, but that doesn’t mean she can do no wrong in my eyes. She recently hit up a 4th of July party in Las Vegas thrown by her “big brother” Jay-Z wearing sequenced pants, a black blazer with pasties underneath her blazer:
Why is this wrong? Well, it’s just too much. I understand it’s her “thing”, but pasties on your nipples with your breast on display for the world to see. NO! I guess cleavage bearing corsets weren’t enough. It’s one thing to be proud of your teta’s and wanting to show them off to the world (personally, I LOVE my boobies! And my cleavage game is mean, if I do say so myself), but there are ways to go about it.

Chanel Iman hosted a cocktail party for the designers of Bensoni in NYC a couple nights ago, looking just flawless:
This red mini dress with ruffled sleeves, black clutch & black embellished gladiator sandals was just fabulous!

So, Christmas is here and it seemed like just yesterday you were scouring the sale racks for a good dress to wear to be around the family. But… there is another celebration around the corner. NEW YEAR’S!! But what to wear? I have the best dresses for less…. because after Christmas, you may not have much left to spend on yourself:
For my fresh, sophisticated girls:
ASOS Draped Tafetta Dress $58.73, ASOS
ASOS Chiffon Corsage Babydoll Dress $55.80, ASOS
ASOS Lace Dress $58.73, ASOS
For my funky fresh girls:
Lipsy Harlequin Print Layered Skirt Prom Dress $88.10, ASOS
I can’t say I’m a personal fan of this dress, but I have a couple friends that would die for this! It all depends on your style.
Miss Milne Lightning Dress$102.78, ASOS
ASOS Stripe Short Sleeve Prom Dress $55.80, ASOS
You can wear this dress as seen here with thick black opaque tights (especially if you’re on the East Coast), and a thin black spiked belt around the waist. As for the shoes, if you’re that bold & funky– hot pink pumps!
For my fun, party starting girls:
All SaintsEmbellished One Shoulder Silk Dress $264.27, ASOS
Maggie by Margo Leopard Print Mini Dress $96.90, ASOS
Maggie by Margo Butterfly Slouch Dress $92.49, ASOS
It makes no sense to not bring in the New Year in style.
Rihanna first wore this Mara Hoffman dress from her Fall 2008 collection back in February to Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Party in Beverly Hills, then Kourtney Kardashian rocked a shorter version of it to the Victoria’s Secret fashion Show that went down this weekend in Miami:

This busy dress is quite hard to pull off, and Rihanna noticed that, keeping accessories to a minimum. Kourtney, not so much. The red Chanel clutch, the yellow soles on her YSL pumps, the drop earrings and purple eyeshadow all competed for attention. My vote goes to Rihanna on this one but…
Who ROCKED It?

Candids,
Celebs,
Party & Bullshit Rihanna of course is in L.A. for tonight’s VMA’s (and you will have live coverage!) and she was caught at her rehearsals with T.I. They are going to perform their single “Live Your Life” from T.I.’s upcoming album, Paper Trail:
But before she flew out to L.A., she was in NYC for the Fashion Rocks event, and you know this chic was not leaving town without hitting up a club:
Looks like Chris Brown had a lot of fun! Yuck, sweaty guys.

V & A is still in Las Vegas for the MAGIC show to promote their Pastry Footwear line (which did $25 million in sales in 2007)… but of course they are partying it up too. After all, it’s Vegas!
I see Angela has on those Pierre Hardy shoes that everyone seems to be copping out on, and which I have my eye on. I’m coming for you Pierre!
Fab looks for both girls. Here they are at their booth at the MAGIC Convention:
I feel like such a proud parent right now. *tear tear*
