Red Carpet: The 2010 American Music Awards  

Sunday, the 2010 American Music Awards took place and *gasp* for the first time in a looong time, I saw more good looks than bad! The celebs have definitely stepped up their style-game this time around...and I hope they keep it coming!



The Good


I thought that newlywed Katy Perry looked very pretty in a pink Badgley Mischka Couture gown. I guess we can thank Russell for that glow that she's emanating.




Kelly Osborne has really been doing an amazing job at consistently keeping her fab! Her hair and makeup gave her a soft  feminine look, and this Dior gown looked amazing on her! The only part of her look that kept her from flawlessness are those awful tattoos. Ugh.



I don't frequently wave the Keri flag, but right about now I am TEAM KERI! Keri Hilson looked gorgeous in this Sammy B gown and was accessorized perfectly.



I'm still trying to figure out what the back of this gown was doing (I pray to God that it isn't a bow and wouldn't think the folks at Marchesa would do that), but from the front view, Miley Cyrus was stunning! The 18-year old has finally transitioned into adulthood, and it suits her!



Parents-to-be, Pink and Carey Hart get my Cutest Couple award of the evening. And sorry Pink, but Carey was bringing the umph that night. He looked pretty darn hot.



This is the one and only time you will hear me say that Rihanna's fiery red 'do looks good BUT, I'm not giving her the credit. I still maintain it is a bad decision and needs to go ASAP. For the life of me, I cannot understand why she won't let it go. However, for this moment only, I'm giving the credit to Elie Saab for creating a beautiful gown that happened to match this hair, and Rihanna's hair stylists who made this hair look real for once and saved it from its usual Raggedy Annish state. This is the Rhi Rhi I miss.


Is it just me or lately has Jada Pinkett Smith managed to look like a little bronze Emmy award on every red carpet?...Oh well, this was no exception. She glowed (literally and figuratively) in this custom Emilio Pucci gown...and she certainly always knows how to accessorize.





The Bad

This gown that Christina Milian is wearing is doing everything, but IT. I just don't understand...why is there so much going on?Do I look at the embellished shoulders or the sheer cleavage or the shape that the silver material creates? Do I try to figure out if the sheer material is lace, chiffon, or both? Should I wonder if a simple shoe/boot would've fared better than that matchy embellished shoe? Well you know what? I don't know, I'm tired of thinking, my eyes are tired, and I give up! Let's just say that her hair and makeup look great...NEXT!!!


Cheryl Burke looks great from the waist up...stunning really. The gown is pretty and is a great color too. It wasn't, however, the best pick for her body type because it accentuates her wider hips and emphasizes unbalanced proportions. Oh, and I give two thumbs down for the shoes.



Now you guys know I love me some Heidi Klum, and I hate to do this, but this dress is looking a little weird to me. Perhaps its just a bad photo (I mean, we all know Heidi has an amazing body), but why does her rise (the area between the waist and crotch) look so darn LONG?! It looks like the torso of a mannequin.



"So I'm just going to go get my nails done, have lunch with a friend, and maybe stop by the AMA's..." Yeah, that's what I imagined Natasha Bedingfield saying earlier that morning. In general, nothing is wrong with this outfit...but that's just it, its an OUTFIT....at the A-M-A's. On a positive note, I'd love to wear this to work.




The Ugly

For a moment, lets just forget that the pairing of these pieces is ALL wrong; just please observe that this is...a guy.If you're a guy and want to wear women's apparel....Ok, I guess. Just please make sure you bring it.


Nicki Minaj.*sigh* So much too say, but so very little desire to bother saying it.



Phoebe Price...ditto.



Wow, somebody needs a hit song...and fast. Ke$ha is trying to steal a page from Lady GaGa's book on maintaining the spotlight. #fail




The Miscellaneous

There was nothing outstanding about Stana Katic's look. Obviously, she looks great, but her hair? Oh, that hair! It looks like it came straight out of a Pantene ad! I love it!


The Black Eyed Peas look just that...miscellaneous. I sometimes wonder if they discuss what they are wearing before they go to events or if they just go for it...




The Smith Kids. I mean, really...did you expect them to come in a gown and tux?


Taylor Swift's ensemble isn't doing anything for me (or her), but her hair and makeup look fabulous!





The Men

Ok Ne-Yo! I like! Formal brown is a tricky color to work with, but he definitely pulls this off from head to toe.


Very nice, but Trey Songz just always looks good.


Aw, isn't this cute? Boy bands, Backstreet Boys AND New Kids on the Block got together for a group photo. Why so many ill-fitted pants though?

Hating the Look: Rihanna  



Rihanna performed this past Saturday in Spain rocking a weird outfit (to say the least) and bright red hair that only Patricia Field could love.

I like when people change up their look (you hear me Bey?), but I'm hoping this hair color is gone by July 4th.

Hating the Look: Good Girls Gone Bad  

In the past few days, a few of our fashion faves have made not-so-cute decisions in their choice of spring ensembles.


Offender #1: Halle Berry
 
*deep sigh* This makes me sad. This is sooo unlike her! What are these? Skants??? A Pirt??? I don't know and don't need to because they shouldn't even exist.




Offender #2: Rihanna

I really enjoy effortless looks, but we shouldn't take the word "effortless" literally.  No one, not even a superstar could pull this outfit off. And Rihanna is NO exception.



Offender #3: Gwen Stefani

What in the sheer h***?! While I must admit that I don't always enjoy her looks, she usually does much better than this.

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: 2009 Glamour Women of the Year Awards  

On Monday evening, Glamour hosted its 2009 Women of the Year Awards. So you know what that means...

Here is my take on the fashion:

The Good

Ms. Rihanna killed it in this Stephane Rolland gown.



Serena Williams looked vibrant and beautiful in this red Pamella Roland gown.



Katharine McPhee caused quite a stir with the blonde hairstyle, but this great BODYAMR gown stole my attention.




The Bad

I LOVE Stella McCartney, but this look leaves much to be desired. Besides, even she confessed to a fashion faux-pas saying her dress was a little too short.



Same for Kerry Washington. Love her bunches, but this Fendi dress isn't doing much for her.


I think it may be a combination of the color of this gown with her hair and complexion, but this Stella McCartney only served to age and wash out Amy Poehler.



Why are the people I love doing this to me??? Zoe Kravitz underwhelmed me as well.




The Ugly

Marisa Mayer, VP of Search and Experience at Google is a brilliant woman, but this Oscar de la Renta color and texture medley was NOT a brilliant wardrobe decision.




The Miscellaneous

So, I'm not eating up this look from Jason Wu, but Iman always looks stunning. Life can be so unfair sometimes.
