Can you believe that 2012 is quickly coming to an end? I feel like there is so much more in store for 2012! Well, while I deal with this realization, you can check out our list of the Best Dressed Fashionistas of 2012. These ladies have impeccable style and had an amazing 2012 either in film, TV, music, or other forms of entertainment. The only issue I had was ranking them in order, so this list will not be based on umber, just style in general. There is no “Number 1” each lady is ranked equally. So here goes our list of Best Dressed of 2012!

Rihanna should be no surprise when it comes to best dressed lists. She is the style chameleon. Whenever there is a new album or a new movie in the works we know because her hairstyle changes. She softened up her look this year with blonde luxurious locks and then the adorable pixie cut. Although her antics have gone to an all new high, her style continues to stay at the steady pace of amazing. She makes things like pajamas wearable in the street. I’m sure the shenanigans will continue in 2013 as long as her style continues to evolve. Pictures2

Solange is the only repeat from the 2011 list. Although she released new music late in the year, she had an amazing year. She had great campaigns with Carol’s Daughter, Madewell, and she was also spotted out and about  DJing at various events. We expect nothing but the best from Solange in 2013

Brandy has come a long way from being Moesha. This year with the release of Two Eleven (her birthday) and she made a huge comeback. Brandy embodied the entire package from great hair, to great makeup, and even better outfits. She has evolved from the girl with the braids to the sophisticated woman with some edge. She knows when to keep it classy and when to spice it up a bit.

Ciara is getting ready to release her upcoming album “One Woman Army” and this year she was in full promo mode. No longer labeled as Kim Kardashian’s friend, Ciara brought it back to the music this year and she did it with style. Her killer legs had many women going to the gym! Her style continues to evolve. She follows her own rules and looks great doing it.

Who made your best dressed list?

This past weekend was the taping of BET’s Black Girl Rock at the Paradise Theatre in New York City. Despite some of the rachetness that BET produces, this is one of the more quality productions from the network. Founded by Beverly Bond, Black Girls Rock set out to provide young women of color with positive images of themselves, contrary to what the media portrays. Black Girls Rock introduces these young women to the arts and is dedicated to helping young women of color develop a healthy self-esteem and recognize their self worth by changing their perspective on life.

Here are a few photos of what to expect when the show airs on BET November 4, 2012

Happy Monday Guys!

To kick off the week we are going to re-cap the Red Carpet at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.

My favorite part of award shows is definitely the Red Carpet – I love to see what all the Celebs are wearing!

This MTV Awards show definitely did not disappoint in the fashion aspect!

Since the MTV Awards are less formal then the Oscars and Grammy’s, celebrities were able to showcase some non-traditional, funkier dresses and I absolutely loved it!

The trend was definitely mini-dresses – from peplum’s to metallics and eccentric prints these ladies looked HOT!

Check out some of the Celebs below!

 

Ciara looked stunning in this red mini dress.  I love how she paired the dress with “nude” shoes.

Charlize Theron kept it classy and chic in a red peplum dress.  This is a great look for her.

I absolutely loved Christina Ricci’s dress by Christian Siriano — the custom dress is decorated in watches!

Crystal Reed opted for an Issa London dress.  I know it is a little different, but I adore this dress….it’s very unique and the cut is tailored and looks amazing on her. (Not a big fan of the black boots paired with the dress)

Elizabeth Banks killed it in this Elie Saab jumpsuit. I love everything about this look – from the simple hair to the shoes she looks fabulous!

Emma Stone looked darling in her nude and black paired ensemble.  This Martin Grant peplum dress is very unique, I love the cut on her.

Emma Watson took the edgy route with a dress from the label Brood by Serkan Sarier.  I really like this dress and love how she was styled….it just works for me!

Holland Roden killed it in her Red and Nude Combo.  Skin, Makeup, Hair, Dress, Shoes all work together beautifully. She looks stunning.

Janelle Monae stuck to her usual black & white attire.  She looks nice but this is a look we’ve seen countless times.  However, I do love her makeup and hair.  She’s such a pretty girl!

Julieanne Hough opted for a black and nude lace peplum dress with cut-outs.  I love the dress, however I think she should have wore her hair up.  Overall, she looks cute!

Kat Graham looked stunning in a draped Maria Lucia Hohan gown. Kat always looks beautiful and the dress fits her perfectly.  I also would have liked to see her hair up or styled in a different way.  Nonetheless, she still looks beautiful!

Kristen Stewart went for something different and chose a colorful, metallic Guishem dress.  I ADORE this dress and I loved everything about her look.  One of my favorite looks.

Mila Kunis strutted the red carpet in a colorful sheer and metallic Fendi dress.  She looks HOT! I love the dress!

Not A huge fan of Romeo Miller but I must admit he is looking quite sexy here….lol.  His deep-v shirt and blazer are doing it for me!

I don’t have much to say about Wiz (I love his music??!) but his girl Amber Rose looked amazing in a mint green sheer mini dress.  Amber’s fashion choices are a bit risque and tend to show a lot of skin but she always pulls it off and although this dress is showing quite a bit, I think she actually looks rather classy this time.  I love that she downplayed the dress with nude shoes and light makeup! Bravo Amber!

Who was your favorite?

 

Last week Ciara was spotted at a New York Knicks games. Since the resignation of D’Antoni the Knicks have been on a roll winning 5 of their last 6 games. So of course celebrity row was in full effect. Ciara took a different spin on her look for this game. She usually rocks out in some sky high Louboutins, but she went ultra casual yet chic. She rocked a sweatshirt from TopMan trousers from TopShop and hidden wedge heel sneakers frm Giuseppe Zanotti.

The sweatshirt and trousers are relatively inexpensive with the top being $55 and the pants being $76 but you will definitely splurge on the $995 sneakers. Here is the complete look with links to purchase the items

Solange has been killing it even more since she signed with Next Model Management. She has been taking Milan by storm, especially in this green lace dress.

Kelly Rowland kept it simple with a pair of skinny jeans and white blouse. She made her look pop with the peach peep-toes as she performed during Dwayne Wade’s 30th Birthday Bash

Ciara reappeared on the socialite scene after her foot injury at the Knicks game in leather pants and a Rag & Bone leather sleeve denim jacket.

Lala and Kiyan were taking cooking classes and her pink Christian Louboutin Daffodils are TDF which is why they are sold out everywhere.

These ladies brightened up my mid-week lol.
