Red Carpet Rundown-The MET Gala 2013 Punk: Chaos to Couture

By 1 Comment

Last night was the historic MET Gala and this year they celebrated PUNK, from Chaos to Couture. The star studded event is always a major highlight in the entertainment industry. This is when your favorite stars pull out all of the stops because this is one of the hottest red carpets to walk. So I will give you the run down on my favorite and not so favorite looks of the night.

I can’t say that I had an absolutely favorite look but these are my Top 4 looks in no particular order

King Bey slayed the red carpet in Givenchy. The train was what made this dress! It commands attention.

Katie Holmes version of punk was really regal and angelic. I loved her train as well and the back of the dress was amazing. (Thinking of wedding dress ideas lol)

Sarah Jessica Parker is a littly quirky but it works for her. Only she could pull off a head piece like this.

Jennifer Lopez really does anything wrong in my eyes. This Michael Kors gown fits her like a glove.

Solange, Kerry Washington, Cameron Diaz had the blues and they all look amazing.

Madonna, Nicole Richie, Miley Cyrus These ladies embodied the theme of Punk: Chaos to Couture There were mixed reviews about Nicole Richie but she slayed this theme.

Lala Anthony, alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj Lala was my favorite in this bunch. I loved the sleek look of the Zac Posen dress. Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj were a little underwhelming.

Lala was my favorite in this group. I love the color of the Zac Posen dress. Alicia Keys and Nicki weren’t terrible but a little underwhelming.

 Kim Kardashian was bashed up and down social media yesterday. I felt bad for her. I tried to find the most flattering picture, but this was clearly a poor choice. She has not been winning in the fashion department during this pregnancy.

Style Files: Beyonce for H&M Summer 2013

By Leave a Comment

Beyonce has been under a lot of fire lately because of her latest single “Bow Down/I Been On” but that has not stopped her hustle! H&M just released one of the first images of their collaboration with Beyonce for their Summer 2013 Campaign.

According to Vogue the pieces are inspired by Beyonce’s individual style. Beyonce gave her input from a design aspect as well. The advertisements come just in time for Beyonce’s World Tour. The campaign’s theme is “Beyonce as Mrs. Carter in H&M.”

Beyonce states “I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.”

The campaign features swimwear and beachwear pieces – including a bikini from the H&M for Water collection, which raises money for WaterAid according to Vogue.

We will aslo get new music from this campaign! They shot a television commercial which will feature one of Bey’s new songs, hopefully off of her new album, called “Standing On The Sun” which will probably be the song of the summer!

I will definitely be on the lookout for the official lookbook. You guys know I STAN for Beyonce!

Rock It or Drop It: The White Shoes Trend

By Leave a Comment

When I think of white shoes, I think of the Mary Janes my mother used to make me wear when going to church on Easter or just on a nice spring day. I think of the little girls with the frilly lace socks and bows in their hair. Whenever I would see a grown woman with white shoes I would stare in amazement. I don’t know why but they just look awkward to me. I t may be the tile of shoe that I particularly see, but this was just something I could never get on board with.

Well for the spring season it appears that these are the new must haves. Now just because tons of celebs rock white shoes it doesn’t mean that you have to run out and buy a pair. Just because it is of the moment doesn’t mean that it is for you. Here are a few pics of some celebs rocking this trend.

I think I am too traumatized to even go near a white shoe but some celebs have been changing the minds of many, check them out.

Picture Perfect: Ciara for Annex Magazine

By Leave a Comment

Ciara is gearing up for the release of her new album “One Woman Army.” In between rehearsals, trips to Paris, recording and boo loving with Future, she is also turning heads with her new cover for Annex Magazine. Her new single “Body Party” which happened to be written by Future is my new jam! It samples one of my all time favorite songs “My Boo” from Ghost Town DJs. Take a look at the double cover below.

Ciara would definitely kill the modeling game. Why do you think she was the muse for Givenchy? I love the contrast between both covers. One is definitely more “Avant Garde” and the other is more refreshing.

What do you think about Ciara’s covers for Annex Magazine?
