Award Shows,
Celebs,
HIT or MISS,
Red Carpet Style
While I missed the red carpet coverage, I did tune into the show, which for the most part flopped this year. My highlights we’re definitely Jay-Z & Alicia Keys‘ performance of “Empire State Of Mind”, Whitney Houston’s performance of “I Didn’t Know My Strength”, Black Eyed Peas‘ performance, Rihanna’s performance, and Janet Jackson’s medley. Adam Lambert had my mouth open throughout his whole performance (whoa!) But for the most part, I was disappointed. WTF was J. Lo doing anyway? Boo! Anywho, just when I thought the red carpet would cheer me up, that slightly disappointed too:

Fergie Fer sparkled in a strapless Girogio Armani dress, giving us a little leg action. Love this edgy, but still simplistic look on her. HIT

Shakira rocked this Versace mini-dress, but kept the accessories to a minimum. I would loved to see her up the jewelry factor. Still a cute look for her though. HIT

Rihanna rocked a carefully constructed Marchesa dress. Not liking this look… at all! I usually love Rih Rih’s red carpet looks, or any looks, but this was a MISS for me. Womp.

Alicia Keys looked gorgeous(!!!) in this multi-colored, beaded detail strapless Giorgio Armani dress. She chose to match her shoes with her dress (tricky!) with these Christian Louboutin sandals. HIT

My fellow Aries, Leona Lewis, bored me- per usual. She rocked this black Vivienne Westwood dress with double hemline and pointy bustline. Not liking this. It probably could have worked on someone else. MISS

Country cute Carrie Underwood looked plain old fab in this Theia dress. I really like this look on her. HIT

Candids,
Celebs,
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?

Celebs,
Fashion Dont's
Seriously.



This is definitely too much at one time. The fringe bag, the Gucci Babouska boots, the name chain AND thick chain. You definitely don’t want to overload on trends or styles. She could have kept on just the name chain and left the other one at home if her bag & shoes would have been so dramatic. The fringe bag is just in time for Fall, but the fringe on the bag is super long and very dramatic, after choosing that accessory she should have left everything else alone and let the bag take charge of the outfit. The boots are perfect and a must cop for this season but AGAIN, it’s competing for attention with the rest of the outfit! Everything here is screaming “Look at me!” which is never good. Something should have took center stage, not everyone can be a lead… right Melody?
Ladies, learn from her mistake.
