Alicia Keys took a vintage approach for the video for her hit single “Unthinkable”, both visually and stylistically. Her blue dress she rocked in the mom-and-pop store scene had a lot of people asking, “where can I get mine?” Well, look no further:
The dress was by ANLO: Read more…

Well, at least her clutch is. Recently, Nicki Minaj’s Spring Bling special “I Am Nicki” aired on BET and while some of her looks were definitely foot note worthy, it was one statement piece in the beginning of the special that stood out:
The ‘killa clutch’ is made with black sequins, killa silver spikes and is topped off with Read more…
Watching my favorite a-diva on stage after my Thanksgiving celebration subsided and my steak, roast beef, rice, etc. (yum!) digested, I was like… Ok! She is definitely the baddest chick in the game! Hardest working as well. I think the only person that works harder is her costume designer:
Her creative advisor and costume designer for her “I Am… Yours” tour, Thierry Mugler, shut it down with crystal embellished leotards, shard shouldered jackets, sculpted hip detail, animal prints, and rhythm ready corset’s. Whether it’s the famous “Halo” wedding gown, sheer panel leotard with matching cut-out glove, or her flame burst, cheetah printed, red light bust bearing (what’s really good with that?) one-piece, she has just as much hits in the wardrobe sector as she does in the music sector.
I have pulled some “I Am… Yours” inspired looks for all my a-diva’s!
Some time last week, Nicki Minaj hit the GQ Men Of The Year awards with her labelmate Drake, and both artists cleaned up nice. It was great seeing Drake in a suit (have we ever seen him in one before?), and it was especially great seeing the self-proclaimed black Hannah Montana in a dress:
The bandeau dress had a velvet bodice with sweetheart neckline, and sateen skirt. Loving the abstract fabric, and it hugged her body perfectly.

While at her Nokia performance in London recently, Rihanna rocked a toned down, but still edgy black mini dress with caged sleeves, everyone was wondering who designed her dress and where they could find it. I’ve got the answer for you:
Rocking her dress with fish net tights and black boots, she definitely upped the sex ante! And you can too:

To see my recommendations for what to rock this dress with…
There’s something in the water. I have noticed that Oscar winner Halle Berry, Grammy winner Rihanna, and super model/fashion icon Cindy Crawford, along with many others, have one thing in common: they love the hooded dress:
Whether you rock it with your hood pulled over your head like Rihanna, or rock it with the hood down and strategically let it fall on your shoulders like Halle & Cindy, you can get in on this trend either way.
X-Factor winner, Alexandra Burke, attended Girlguiding UK’s Big Gig recently at the Wembley Arena in London rocking this one-shoulder mesh insert dress:
She rocked this Lipsy dress with knee high suede black boots, a combination I wasn’t exactly loving by the way, but she looked fab nonetheless. To find out where to get the dress she rocked.. Read more…
When Janet Jackson hit up Giorgio Armani’s show during Milan Fashion Week, she got mixed reviews on the ‘fit she chose. While some may have said it was lacking in glamour and too understated for the event, I thought the look was perfect for her! Janet, who is over 40, went with a chic look that some would only wear in a board room. For the working people, I decided to implicate Janet’s look for you:
The 3/4 sleeve button down, argyle cardigan, pin striped slacks, crocodile bag with leather and chain straps, and while you can’t see it, she has on Christian Louboutin Altadama watersnake pumps… it’s all for you:
I did a post on these Stella McCartney vagina high boots back in August, declaring them as the must have for every bad girl immune to this recession. I am personally a huge fan of these boots, they’re killer! Our girl Rihanna seems to be a big fan of them as well, she recently rocked the perforated versions while out & about in NYC:
She rocked her vagina high’s with a fun & flirty gray dress, dark shades, plum (the color of the season) lipstick, and a new hair do. She’s been rocking the honey blonde streaks in her hair for a quick minute now, funny cause I JUST had that color seasoned with black in my hair and one of my best friends kept calling me Cruella de Vil. 
It looked hot in my hair though. She couldn’t have rocked it any more perfectly than she did, it’s young and fun, but still edgy and daring! Work it, Rih Rih!
You can purchase the boots for $1,595 here, and check out my write-up on the boots here.
