GTM: Giggling to Myself  



This photo and article posted on NY Mag's The Cut made me giggle to myself this morning, and I thought I'd share. Here is Jean Paul Gaultier photographed with Chris Brown after his boxing-inspired runway show yesterday in Paris. 



{The show}, in which the models were made up to appear battered and bloody. Gaultier walked the runway for the finale, jolly as ever, in the same makeup, appearing as though he'd just taken a few swift hits to the face. And who should pose beside him after the show but Chris Brown? Of course, Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault last year. And surely the photos of Rihanna that surfaced after the Grammys are not too distant a memory for many. So, this is one hell of an awkward photo op — the birth of awkward, if you will.


*tapping his shoulder* Um Chris? Where are you people and why didn't they keep you from making this poor choice of a photo op??? Its too soon...WAY too soon. SMH and GTM

Red Carpet: 2010 Golden Globes  

Sunday night marked the 67th Golden Globe Award Ceremony and the celebs were out on the red carpet...getting completely rained on. So while I will take the poor weather into consideration for looks and hair that seemed to have fallen flat, I still think weather preparedness is key and won't cut them too much slack ;-)

The Good

I think Fergie looked gorgeous. I love that she's not afraid to go with hard looks, but can just as easily pull off soft looks as well.





I don't know if Lindsay Lohan went to the actual award ceremony, but I really love this gown she wore to one of the parties.



Olivia Wilde's gown photographed much better than it looked live. I guess this is smart though because the picture lasts much longer than the moment.



Toni Collette, looked like the true winner she was that night. BTW, if you have not yet seen The United States of Tara, you really should check it out...she's such an amazing actress!



Paula Patton is well on her way to being a shining example of prenatal fabulosity.


 
The Red Dress - every awards has one. This time around, the winner for me is Maria Menounos.



The Bad

I really didn't like Sofia Vergara's gown. I liked the colors, but the dress itself looked stiff and uncomfortable.



Nicole Kidman is such an elegant woman she can never really look "bad," but if I saw this dress and all of its bows on a hanger, you couldn't give it to me for free.



Who knew Mad Men co-star Christina Hendricks had such a voluptuous figure? I sure didn't, but I do know one thing, its too much puff and frills in this picture and the color does nothing for her complexion. I would've put this dress in The Ugly, but my favorite Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano designed constructed it so not only am I biased, but I don't hold him 100% accountable. She admitted he let her give her input on color and design which made it a "bad" decision. Stick to your craft Christina...


I like Cameron Diaz...but not this dress.



What the heck is that thing protruding from Drew Barrymore's hip? Unless she's trying to hide a colostomy bag under there, it is serving no true purpose, but to take away from her look.



Penelope Cruz and her multi-fabric dress....what can I say? Her hair looks nice...



Frump-a-dump-dump. Jenna Fisher could've done better than this.



Not only is the dress pretty fugly, but did you forget your shoes Elizabeth?



The Ugly

The bodice of AnnaLynne McCord's gown looks like two hands are grabbing her breasts...hated it.



Who is responsible for this?! Julianne Moore's gown looks like it was designed and constructed in my high school fashion class...sorry Balenciaga.



Jessica Lowndes...nope. Its all wrong...ALL WRONG.



Don't even look at the dress...I didn't. Why not you ask? Because those tights are scaring me!



The Miscellaneous

Live, Sandra Bullock's dress looked better than bad (the color was much prettier than it looks in photographs as well), but I think her hair and makeup looked radiant!



I'm assuming Ashley Tisdale didn't go the ceremony and wore this just for the party. If this is truly the case, I think she looks supercute!



I personally don't like Jennifer Morrison's gown (it makes me crave cake with heavy icing), but my boyfriend thought I should give it honorable mention. Why? Not because HE likes it either. She said in her interview that she didn't buy this dress for the awards, but her boyfriend had bought this for her a while back. I think she's just trying to get that ring on her finger... The dress does look much better photographed than live though.



I don't particularly like Anna Kendrick's dress, but I LOVE her! She did such a great job in Up in the Air, and from her interviews seems like she has a great personality. You should keep your eye on this one!



This dress is sooo weird! Zoe Saldana looked great while presenting, but it photographs hideously!




I wouldn't wear this dress, but I can appreciate it. Besides, Diane Kruger is my girl and is always fabulous.



I don't like the dress itself, but alas, life is unfair and as a result, Halle Berry looks hot in anything.

Emma Watson: Designer  



*deep sigh* It really bugs me when celebs don't keep it real with us. The latest offender??? Emma Watson. Although she said last July when she became the face of Burberry, that she had NO interest in having a clothing nor perfume line click here, she has been acting as creative advisor for her own eco-friendly line for British retailer, People Tree called The Emma Watson for People Tree collection.

The entire collection, which includes a full range of separates for men and women, is 100% organic cotton and made entirely by hand by Fair Trade groups. "I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren't many options out there," said Watson in a statement.




The Emma Watson for People Tree collection will be available next month at peopletree.co.uk

Hating the Look: Kelis  



Now, I love me some Kelis and she's looking great post-baby, but I am HATING this look! Too much multi-colored fur, leather, and studs.

Is it just me or are you thinking Cruella DeVille too???

Week In Denim  

....well perhaps I should've named this post "WeekS in Denim," as holiday time brings holiday parties which give us a poor denim scene. However, I've managed to find a few looks:

Alexandra Burke looked casually cute as she worked some cutoffs while traveling to Barbados.




Wow, now this is a rarity...Mariah in jeans???


While I'm sure the opening for the new Vegas nightclub Vanity was hot, Megan Good's lingerie-inspired look was not.




I HATE Zoe Kravitz' Mad Hatter hat...
