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.

2009 Costume Institute Gala Benefit  

Actors, artists, and fashion industry people were dressed to impress at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala on Monday for “The Model As Muse” exhibit.

Quite naturally, there were some that impressed, and some that depressed...

Here are looks I really liked:

Here is Eva Herzigova in Dolce & Gabbana and Chopart...loving those shoes!


Kate Moss looked very elegant in and with Marc Jacobs *doing my back exercises as I type*:


Kate Beckinsale looked very elegant as well. I love LOVE navy!


Iman NEVER disappoints:


Claudia Schiffer looked bad...in a good way. I do wish she would've done something more with her hair though:


Gisele Bundchen wore a cute sassy number:


Heidi Klum (who's on baby #4) looked absolutely radiant! Nobody wears pregnancy and post-pregnancy like Heidi!:


Of course, Victoria Beckham was there stylin' and profilin':


And my favorite look was Lily Donaldson. Her dress and shoes were ON POINT!:


And then, there are the looks, I didn't like at all:

Kirsten Dunst looked like an ol' lady:


I didn't like it when Beyonce did this sculpted dress, so I certainly don't feel Emma Roberts in it:



Mary-Kate and Ashley looked identically whack:



Leighton Meister...WTF were you thinking?!


And Madonna...ok, so when we say that some celebs can get away with "anything," we don't mean anything:


Then we had what looked like a casting call for a Bram Stoker film:






And here are some randoms that I wanted to throw in:

My girl, Diane Kruger in Chanel Haute Couture:


Ciara in Emilio Pucci...I'm sure she's wearing some thigh-high boots under that gown:



Amber and Kanye are still hanging in there. She looks great...somebody got a tan, but um, Kanye? Where are your socks?

Weekend in Denim  

This weekend gave us a variety of denim looks from the celebs:

Vanessa Simmons looked cute and casual rocking a slim cut rolled up jean reminiscent of the Boyfriend Jean while kicking it in Miami.


Brandy had a well um interesting look while dining at Katsuya in L.A.

This is a great jean for slender women and/or women who want to bring attention to their hips. If you have a tummy and/or larger hips that you want to minimize, don't go near these.

Rihanna is one of the first to break out her Bermuda shorts while on her way into the studio to start recording.


Keri Hilson was here doing a radio interview this weekend in Chicago...I actually saw the concert and she did pretty good. The label didn't allow her to have a stage set of her own, but she CAN sing. This pic has me wondering if she can dress though...


The winner???

IMAN! She is like the Eighth World Wonder! She is 53 years old and is still undeniably one of the hottest chicks out there AND is setting a good example for women everywhere: bootcuts are the universally flattering style for everybody type.
