Week In Denim  

Ok, so maybe I should say the past "weekS" in denim, but whose counting?!

Lil Kim looked very uncomfortable and...pale. I just want to take a deep breath for her.

Rihanna

Alicia Keys looked laid back and cute arriving in London for the Haiti benefit concert in a pair of her favorite jeans.

Brandy, who will soon be back on tv for a reality show featuring her and her brother, stepped out wearing a pair of cute skinny jeans.

Um, I can't even look past her fab abs to see her jeans..

Dakota Fanning is sporting a more mature style these days.

Hayden Panetierre looked chic and elegant.

Kelly Rowland looks great in these black wax-wash jeans.

From head to toe, I LOVE Kim's look!

Ordinarily, I would think that the pants and boots are too detailed to be combined, but paired with a plain tee, this is a really cute look. 

Red Carpet: 2009 AMAs  

The American Music Awards took place this past Sunday November 22nd, and the stars did not disappoint! Here we go...:

The Good

Great choice for Rihanna! This gown is a definite stand-out and provides great buzz for her new album, Rated R, which was released yesterday.





Another consistent red carpet do-gooder is Jennifer Lopez. She never has to go overboard with a "Heeyyy, look at me!" gown,  but ALWAYS looks fab. BOTH of her looks were FAB...especially the white Gucci gown.






This was a really nice as well as unexpected look for Alicia Keys. She's showing a little more skin than usual, and she's looking great while doing so!




I think that Sofia Vergara'sbody does more for the gown than the gown does for her body, but life is unfair like that sometimes





Carrie Underwood looked great from head-to-toe. I'm really loving the color of that gown!




The Bad

For her man A-Rod to just have won the World Series, I would've expected Kate Hudson to look on top of the world. Here, she just looks a little frump-a-dump-dump.




The color, the fit, the style of Nicole Kidman's dress is just ugh. What a waste of such a tall, elegant, and beautiful frame.




I think that Demi Lovato missed the mark here. The color of this dress does nothing for her complexion and hair color, and those nude shoes make me think that she's going to bust out into a broadway dance performance.




Frump-a-dump-dump #2 - Kelly Clarkson. I love her, but the fit of this gown is a big disappointment.




The Ugly

Leono Lewis is a gorgeous woman, but the symmetry of this dress (particularly the pointed bodice) and those clogs look kinda scary.





The Miscellaneous

I can't decide how I feel about Shakira's dress. I mean, its cute, but kinda lacks that umph and it looks a little too tight in the bust...in this photo anyway.






If Selena Gomez had chosen different shoes, she definitely would've made it to The Good list.

Red Carpet - B.E.T. Awards 2009  



Last night's BET Awards were interesting to say the least. It is the first time that I have looked forward to them, watched then in their entirety, and was completely entertained from start to finish. While I think they could've done better, considering they took on the challenge of totally revamping the show in 3 days to honor Michael Jackson, I think the deserve beaucoup kudos.

So, here we go with the Red Carpet rundown...

The Good

Adrienne Bailon looked really striking in a short billowy mini... I love the color too!

 Taraji looked great in this one-armed slinky dress.


You know, usually Sherri Shepherd doesn't match her clothing with her body proportions very well, but she looked great last night!


Tatyana looked radiant, but I don't care if you're a size 2, if your silhouette isn't looking very smooth, Spanx should be your friend.

 
You know I'm just a sucker for a jumper, and Toccara is working this one!
 

Zoe Saldana looked her usual chic self.

Miss Alicia Keys wore two similar style dresses, but I like the second one much better. Her hair looks great too!




Beyonce looked really good too. Her shoes were interesting though. I wouldn't wear them, but I can appreciate them.





KeKe Palmer is such a cutie. She is the quintessential role-model for our young girls. I am willing to bet money that we will never see her Britney, stumbling out of the club drunk, or out looking like a little trollop.

And here is the Red Carpet nightmare of the evening: Amber Rose and Amerie wore the same Alexander McQueeen dress. Oh noooooooooo!!!!


 
Obviously Amerie has a more styled look, and I LOVE thosoe Alexander McQueen booties that Amerie is wearing, BUT I'm sorry, Amber's body is too fly for someone with small curves too compete. 


The Bad

Here is Chaka Kahn and Monica rocking the Heat Stroke Chic look...


Ciara didn't impress me with either of her looks. Especially the three color blacks she's wearing in the second picture.


This summer denim dress and church usher glove is not doing it for me.


Keri Hilson's skin looks AMAZING! The dress? Not so much. Its way too busy.
 


The Ugly

Cassie, who's usually on my Best Dressed list, disappointed me. The hair, the dress, the loose-fitting boots, the over-accessorizing...need I go on???


*deep sigh* Oh, Lil Mama....

Whoa Melody!!!! Why would you want to give the illusion that your booty is hanging out? This is neither cute nor sexy! I'm still not 100% sure that her booty is NOT hanging out...

Ne-Yo's girlfriend, Tennille really is a cute girl, but you wouldn't know it from seeing her last night...


The Miscellaneous

 While not impressive enough to make The Good list, I thought that Kim Coles looked really nice.



I really like Tyra's outfit...for the workplace, not an awards show.

Queen Latifah, who usually keeps a low-maintenance look, looked really glamorous last night, and I liked it! I really, really liked it!
