Who ROCKED It?
I guess this Atelier Versace Fall 2009 dress is the dress that doesn’t quit, huh?


Rihanna first rocked the dress when she did the September cover of Vogue Italia in 2009, then Beyonce wore it while shutting down the 52nd annual Grammy’s stage earlier this year and rocked it with Guiseppe Zanotti booties, and even after all of that, Steve Harvey’s wife Marjorie Harvey wore it recently while attending the 8th annual Hoodie Awards. Rihanna’s look was more high-fashion editorial, as she rocked it with a detachable sleeve, where Beyonce made the look more daring and edgy, and Marjorie gave the dress some class with satin ribbon tie sandals. This Atelier Versace leather mini-dress, with cut out detail is definitely a statement maker, but who made the best statement in it?

Looks like Bey Sting is making sure Dereon and House of Dereon remains(?) relevant to all the fashion givers and takers, as she stars in the ad campaign for both ranges. Starring as a 1960’s pin-up girl in one, and a futuristic biker chick in the next, she definitely looked amazing in the flicks. Here is the Juniors line, Dereon:



She said she wanted a look that was “Marilyn Monroe meets Angelina Jolie.” Are y’all feeling it? Read more…

Looks like Beyonce & Dereon is still going strong! They have released the new scan of her ad campaign for the upcoming Fall season, and looked daring and edgy. Sasha Fierce would approve:

I actually like this dress (and the whole look), but we all know how those Dereon clothes really look! Hot ad though!

Fragrance
To all the people dying to put their hands in more fire, Beyonce is releasing her 2nd fragrance. Or perhaps this is a sub fragrance to Heat? Hmm…


The super brand and her itty bitty waist will be releasing Heat Ultimate Elixir. Since Heat was one of the best selling celebrity fragrances of 2009- selling 70,000 bottles in its first day and topping $3 million in sales in a month- its only right she does it again. With spicy-floral scents Red Vanilla Orchid, Osmanthus petals, Cedarwood, Amber, Vanilla and Tonka Bean, the elixir is concentrated into a more intense, limited edition perfume.
The fragrance will be available at department stores Sept. 20. Make your money Bey Sting, don’t let it make you… *snaps in a circle 3-times*

Performances/Concerts
Couture is one of those styles of clothing seemingly too extravagant for anything other than runway and editorial, but their is another level of fashion grandiose even more grandiose than couture- stage costumes:

For years, international (and not so international) stars have hit the stage in mostly custom gear, trying to out do the last look every time they hit the stage. But with mega stars like Beyonce setting the tone, and new comers like Lady Gaga stealing the throne (hey, that rhymed!) stars are having more reasons than one to raise the bar. Read more…

It looks like celebrities in Hollywood and abroad haven fallen in love with a new hue. Experimenting with all kinds of colors, lengths, and weave types, it sames like for once several stars are on the same page at once:

Although Mya is the last known celeb that tried out the shade, but her celeb friends (or not) has been on this ban wagon for the last several weeks from their usual dark loc’s:


Cassie and Keri Hilson has both went blonde, and even Beyonce has dyed her hair higher a lighter shade of blonde. Is this a pattern that you think we will be seeing more of? And who will be the next to go blonde? Kelly Rowland? Read more…

I recently received some lipstick to review from Lime Crime Makeup, and one of the colors they sent me (and mostly because I requested it) was a black shade the endearingly call Styletto.

The black lipstick has became increasingly popular recently, with fans like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rachel McAdams, Solange Knowles, and many more:

Shoegasm
Bonjour! My Shoegasm posts are usually laced with French intro’s because I am obsessed with that language, just in case you were wondering. For the GodKnowsHowMany-th edition I chose these Gianmarco Lorenzi platforms, which are also a favorite of Bey Sting:



Over 6 inches of heel, balanced with nearly 2.5 inches of platform offers up a 3.5 inch heel, not bad for a pair like these! Fuschia and turquoise suede slingback platform peep-toe sandals, a large yellow cut-out platform and a yellow high heel with a scooped-out detail at the top makes this the perfect weapon for a Summer time ‘fit. I recommend a pop of color with an all white look, but you can always crush it against a yellow or even red! You can really play with a shoe like this, Beyonce did! As usual, Shoegasm is for drooling purposes only, but you can snag this pair if you must for $581.

Making waves for several years now, Boxing Kitten, has been spotted on several celebrities. West African-inspired Ankara fabric collection has been worn by Beyonce Knowles, Solange Knowles, Alicia Keys, Fergie, famed choreographer Fatima Robinson, and one of my favorite video directors Melinda:





With a vibrant, hard to miss aesthetic, this line is definitely one to watch for! While every other designer switches up their whole style every season, with no set style to have any mass recognition, Boxing Kitten can pretty much be spotted off the back– literally! Read more…
