Estelle was spotted in London during Fashion Week in this awful stonewashed side-zip denim dress. I don't care how you try to accessorize that thing, it is U-G-L-Y. This looks like a thrifting trip gone terribly wrong.

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.


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.






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




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!

Singer, Estelle hasn't been in the world of music very long to establish her popularity or fashion icon-worthiness, but she is considering launching her own shoe line. "I love accessories," she said after having codesigned a bag with Jonathan Kelsey for Belvedere Vodka. The Belvie bag (pictured above), which retails for $1400, has a secret pocket to hold a bottle of vodka...*crickets* Unless you're an alcholic or totally classless, I don't think that this is a desirable feature for your bag.

Check out her shoe game and decide if you think she should be signing off of on shoe designs:
















Hmmm....personally I'm underwhelmed, but wish her the best of luck in her endeavors.

Womp, womp, wooommmp...it was a very SLOW weekend in denim *awww*, but I did notice that many were wearing the new sandal trend - the cage sandal.

Ciara rocked the most popular of the bunch by Yves Saint Laurent:


Beyonce had on a silver pair...looking cute Bey!


Kim Kardashian had on a super-cute version by Giuseppe Zanotti (Please ignore all of the celebrity distraction in the background of this pic. I don't know what was going on with this hodge-podge of celebrity action so I've decided to just ignore it):


And Estelle wore some too...I'm not sure of the designer, but if you know, please share:

My suggestion is to follow Kim's lead on this trend. If you're going to wear these, please go with a bold polish...otherwise, it kinda looks like you just threw them on. These sandals make a bold statement so no pussyfooting here...GO BOLD or GO HOME!!!


Although they didn't do anything too special with their jeans, Ciara and Christina Milian didn't let us down on the jean front:
