So Fashion Rocks was on last night and like any budding fashionista, I had my eyes glued to the “tube”. Celebs came out full throttle and some were hits on the red carpet, others I could have done without.
Beyonce kept it cute and simple in Costume National LDB. Ciara stunned the red carpet in an Elie Saab Fall 2008 asymmetric gown that fit like a glove. Can’t say I’m loving the hair though. Leona Lewis looked cute in a black and white Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009 mini dress, I’m not sure about the tights though. Ashanti tried in a modified pink embellished mini dress by Marchesa…it’s just not working for me on her body. I think she should have chosen something else, not because she modified the dress, because I’m not a fan of the original either, it just didn’t work for me. Leighton Meeister looked fab in a goddess Missoni gown, I loooooove it! Hey Anna (the true Devil Wears Prada) and Valentino (looking a litte too tan)…I cant really say too much about them because they have it all honey, they have it all. Oh Paula...As for the show, I really enjoyed it, I loved how they went through the decades of fashion and played songs pertaining to that era. When the Jackson 5 came one….I couldn’t contain myself!!
So.....Rihanna=fabulous!!!
Rihanna, killed it on the red carpet in a Monique Luhillier Fall 2008 black gown, love the little touch of jewel embellishment at the waist. She is definetely staking her claim in red carpet divas. And how about her interpretation of Madonna’s “Vogue”, Princess RiRi you better go girl!! Her body is amazing!! A little upset by the costume choice, it was very Cher in Vegas…no likey. But you know you were in your house singing “Vogue…c’mon”.
As for Beyonce...
So Beyonce is normally my girl, but last night I couldn’t understand her choices in costumes or hair. Like why was the Etta James wig being worn during the Stand Up For Cancer performance? Not cute Beyonce...not cute. As for the gold jumpsuit, not a good look in my opinion. Imean I am a fan of Jean Paul Gautier, but that jumpsuit just wasn’t right…it aint right yall. But she will redeem herself yall, because she is always fab every other time.
However, I was disappointed in a few things last night, a few things really had me puzzled. Some red carpet choices left me in the dark, I'm really not understanding the choices.
I normally applaud Solange for her bold choices in fashion, but this ensemble was not a good choice. I'm not feeling the peacock feathers, I just cant. And her performance was...ok I guess. I’m rooting for Solange, I really am, but I just dont know. But let me stop because she can slap me with her wallet and knock me out and step on me in her Jimmy Choos. Go head Solange...do your thing.
But Lil Mama and Vivica Fox, I really have no words. I really tried to be a Lil' Mama fan, but I cant. I just can't get with her, and she tries yall. She does. And can someone explain to me what happened to Vivica? Is she really a glam god? I'm not a fan of her look.
Overall I did enjoy the show, the fashions, the lights, the music!! I would have died to be there, even if it was in the nosebleed seats. So next year I need to be in there. Should I stalk the offices of Conde Nast? How do you think that would pan out? Me, a budding fashionista of color standing outside the offices of Conde Nast soliciting for tickets to next year’s Fashion Rocks? I don’t think it would turn out well. But a girl can dream can’t she?
