CL’S 2006 STYLE AWARDS
Sunday, December 31, 2006
UPGRADE OF ‘06 (FEMALE) - RIHANNA

Rihanna has upgraded herself tremendously this year. We remember when she first hit the scene as a cute little island girl. Now she’s a certified sexy young lady getting love from everyone. Already scoring a Cover Girl contract and wearing exclusive designs from Dolce & Gabbana, she’s on her way to becoming Hollywood’s next big thing.
UPGRADE OF ‘06 (MALE) - NICK CANNON

Nick Cannon may have left Nickelodeon, but he still dressed like a boy in 2005. This year, with his applauded performance in the movie ‘Bobby’ Nick not only stepped up his acting game, but his dress game as well. He definitely is following the steps of Will Smith with his career and mature look.
FASHIONISTA OF ‘06 - TRACEE ELLIS ROSS

Tracee’s graceful poise reminds me of her Mother’s same poise back during The Supremes era. Tracee won us over with her beautiful feature in Vibe Vixen magazine and the actress was all over town during the Spring/Summer fashion shows this fall. Of course, she always has to stay current with a chic and sophisticated look.
06’s RED CARPET WINNER (FEMALE) - KERRY WASHINGTON

Kerry is very underrated in the media when it comes her style, which is a bit shocking. This actress has managed to look flawless everytime she stepped out on the red carpet this year and in 2007, it will only get better.
06’s RED CARPET WINNER (MALE) - DIDDY

If there is one Black man in Hollywood who knows how to dress for an event, its definitely Diddy. His taste and selection in clothing and jewelry has always been and will continue to be on point. Combs never does too much or too little when he hits the red carpet, everything is just right.
06’s BEST DRESSED COUPLE - BEYONCE & JAY-Z

Hate them or love them, but lets face the facts: Jay-Z was named GQ man of the year, and Beyonce’s clothing line is unstoppable this season. The streets love them and Hollywood does just as much. When these two megastars hit the carpet, cameras are flashing nonstop and they both are undoubtably looking fly from head to toe.
06’s LOGO LOVER - KANYE WEST

Kanye’s fresh style will always gain attention, which should serve as a note for designers. From wearing a logo YSL tee at the 2006 VMAs to flashing a Fendi logo on his head last month, this rapper loves to flash names. Lucky for the designers he’s wearing, it generates dollars because the LRG hoodie he rocked at Stella McCartney’s show this fall is selling out everywhere.
06’s BEST NEW HAIR (FEMALE)- KELIS

We remember Kelis as the fiery red-head during Tasty era. Now with her new cd this year, she opted for a funky haircut that had girls left and right looking for a barber to shave something on the side of their heads.
06’s BEST NEW HAIR (MALE)- LUDACRIS

Another haircut that shocked some this year - Luda finally let go of those cornrows for a more cleaner look and may I say he looks very handsome with it.
06’s BEST DRESSED LEADING LADIES - SANAA LATHAN & GABRIELLE UNION

These two sistas are not only doing it big on the screens, but on the red carpets! How could we forget how gorgeous these two looked together at the Nina Ricci fashion show gala in April?
06’s GROWN & SEXY - KELLY ROWLAND

After the end of Destiny’s Child in 2005, Kelly stepped up to the plate and established herself away from being “that other girl beside Beyonce”. She has grown into a very gorgeous, sexy and fashionable young woman.
06’s HUGEST TRENDSETTER - NAS

In this case, the eighties ain’t dead. Nas has always been fly but with a new album this year, came more appearances and more rope chains. Nas definitely was a trendsetter this year by putting the 80s style back on the scene for the males to get into. I wonder if thats who Kelis consulted before getting her 80s style haircut…
06’s HIP HOP DIVA - FOXY

For Foxy to have so much drama going on around her, I wonder how she found time to find McQueen & Furstenberg dresses. However she did it, Brown made sure to stay fresh from head to toe this year everytime she hit the court room or the streets.
06’s HIP HOP DON - LIL WAYNE

I really didn’t know guys out there digged Lil Wayne’s style. It was most evident when everybody was all over the BAPE hoodie he rocked in the “Hustler Musik” video (and he had the nerve to dis Pharrell?). I will say Wayne has established his signature look this year with the chains hanging from ripped jeans. Lil Wayne even has his own homeboy shirt…go DJ.
06’s IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (FEMALE) - REMY

I hate to call something tacky or plain ugly, so I just call it different. Remy has her very own different style - from the blonde and black hair, to her outfit selections. When you see Remy Ma, you will definitely remember her.
06’s IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (MALE) - TERRENCE HOWARD

Terrence has what I like to call “Uncle Leroy” syndrome. He tries to be different with his style and thinks its the flyest thing out there while he’s going around showing everybody, but the family is just left confused. Take for instance the vest he wore at the “Idlewild” premiere and the infamous manclutch and he carried at the 2006 oscars. Yep, he really is in a league of his own.
Again this is based on popular opinion and comments, feel free to disagree because there were alot of fashion highs & lows this year. In the meantime, have a great New Year’s Eve everyone!

Actually, if you pay attention…in the early part of ‘06 , all Weezy was rockin’ was BAPE…before the whole lil’ Pharrell and Clipse situation. Once Lil’ Wayne started collaborating with Dipset more you can notice he gradually adopted there style…i.e. Jim Jones and Juelz Santana, who have been doin’ the whole belt chains, showgirl belts, smedium shirts and ripped jeans thing for awhile.

Please, y’all know Rhianna didn’t step her game up, she stepped beyonce’s leftover game up. At least in the first pick she looked exactly like what she is, a cutsey island girl. Then this bleeting sheep singer decides I’ll get all beyonce barbie style, swagger bitting from the roota to the toota, hair is exactly like beyoce’s and all. I mean if we look back at the gazillion looks beyonce has worn on the red carpet, We probably would find theses exact dress/hair combonations over and over again. Get the title for stepping up when you stop peaking over the fence at Jay’s girl to see how she does so you can steal some of the shine she seems to be getting in the fashion media.

OMG, Rihanna is cute but is that 3rd dress painted on? LOL She looks nice along w/ basically everyone else…no comment on Remy Ma and a few others. I’ll leave this year by saying that JayZ and Beyonce are very cute together. There, I said it, I’m leaving 06 on a good note.

AND THAT WHOLE STYLE IS WHAT LIL WAYNE IS WEARING NOW, HE GOT THAT FROM JIM JONES. EVEN FAT JOE SAID WHEN HE GOES TO THE SOUTH EVERYONE DRESSES LIKE THEY FROM HARLEM CAUSE OF THE DIP SET INFLUENCE.

@Bajan
you real slow if you didint know that lol
and i brung up beyonce i wasnt trying to diss rhianna i was just saying that the way she changed her style of clothing seems like she is trying to copy beyonce because her style is no longer original like it was when she first came out thats just my opinion but hey i dont know
but anyway everyone look nice except i dont like them cuts in kelis’s hair but she is a fab chick and beyonce and jay-z is a cute couple beyonce is just georgous and it’s something about jay-z’s swagger and sanaa and gabrielle are very beautiful women and so is kelly rowland and………….surprisingly enough so is foxy lol and luda is sexy and kerry washington and tracee elis ross is beautiful as well cant say much about the rest but let’s just say if i did it wouldn’t be to nice lol
Peace out signing out til’ 2007 lol
EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND IF YOU ARE GOING OUT TONIGHT HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE(don’t drink and drive)

I agree Rihanna has been upgraded, to Beyonce’s fake clone. LOL. I like her better as the isand girl.
Bee and Jay always look so nice.
Nas and Kelis always do their thing, too.
Nick Cannon looks much better now, than when he was rocking Will Smith’s Fresh Prince rejects, LOLKanye just makes me sick with his wack ass.

I like his music - but Nas’ style is not a good look.
He’s a little too old for the style he’s rocking. At almost 35, he needs to upgrade - and even “dressed up”, he needs a better look. And Busta started up the fat gold chains earlier this year.
Nick Cannon definitely shining, esp. in that last photo. Good look.
33.
argghhh!!!
Sunday, December 31, 2006 /
In defense of Rihanna, what styles could she rock that don’t look mainstream??? Please everything people wear from Hollywood to all of us (Concrete Loopers) are wearing the same damn thing; how many of us can say that we are not sitting in front of the computer w/o jeans, sweats, shorts, and some type of shirt? I do agree with the list overall…Remy definitely needs some help but if she wasn’t different would people talk about her and therefore generate some publicity???
Have a Wonderful and Safe New Year’s Eve to all!

Beyanna's enemy!
Sunday, December 31, 2006 /
I agree that it was actually jim jones doing that style b4 weezy but what can u say?
And to all those people still bringing up Beyanna comparisons STFU!
Bey wish she could deliver the way Rihanna does on the red carpet.
Rihanna is supermodel material.
Beyonce is a pretty plain girl.
Beyonce wears old, huge, stank easily shown lacefronts that are constantly showing.
Rhianna let’s her hair breathe w/ simple sew-ins
rhianna flawless, not giving a fuck!
beyonce insecure, stuck on following her man
Mr. Knowles wish he could get his baby as many promotions when his daughter came out as rihanna has on her first try.
Besides, the only thing rihanna would find is dirty blond lacefronts, tina knowles hand me downs, more horrible tina undesirable fashion, and a large sum of cellulite cream!

Dis list is on point for da most part
i just think dat Kelis and Nas should have won for best dressed couple. Jay and Bee are alright, just a lil too boring for me.
Kelis definatly had da hair cut of da year, i know she had me runnin to da salon and gettin designs edged in my hair, lol.
I dont think RiRi is trying to be anything close to Beyonce. Damn everytime a bitch steps out lookin nice, they automatically want to be like beyonce. IT’S NOT DAT SERIOUS YALL. For 07′ I want all da Beyonce stans to realize dat Bey aint da only bitch in a game that can look nice and who has a good stlist
Remy… you know what yall, im gone say somthing on Remy’s behalf… she hasn’t always been soo bad. I dont know what happened. It’s like she shot da video of concieted and said “fuck it im just gone look a hot ass mess from now on”. I think she just needs a stylist. So Remy if your reading dis im available, holla at ya girl.

Y’all need to get over the Beyonce thing, cant you see she fighting hard to keep in the limelight. Daddy Knowles is doing everything possible to keep his precious fresh, even string here along with Jigga.
Come on you really believe Jayz and B are a long lasting couple, they going to break up by next Thanksgiving guaranteed.
Do your thing Rihanna and all the other upcoming stars. Live for the moment.

**Some of yall’s insecurities about yourself really show in the comments you make. I say love yourself and you might be able to love others the same.
I agree with everything cept Nas being a trendsetter. He dresses regular to me. I think Andre 3000 or even Big Boi would have been a better choice.
Kelis was a good choice cause I was definitely feeling the new hairstyle. (not the new blonde though)
Beyonce is beautiful as always. Such a beautiful personality and beautiful attire goes a looong way. Shawn Carter upgraded himself too.
Rhianna defintiely upgraded because she looks like a young woman now.
Everybody else looks good.

I kind of agree with this list.
*Rihanna– Has definitely made a style transformation. She went from 17 to 25 in a matter of a year.
*Nick Cannon– Yes, he definitely needed to change his style. The crazy bright colors and the oh-so-wrong, over-accessorized outfits needed a serious upgrade.
*Tracey Ellis Ross– She definitely has class. I love her style.
*Kerry Washington– I really like her, she’s one of my favorite actresses. However, her red carpet outfits have to grow on me though, because sometimes the patterns and colors are a bit out there. But, I still like the fact she’s unique and doesn’t really follow trends.
*Diddy– Pass.
*Bee and HOV– Yeah, they’re a cute and stylish couple. I’ll give them that.
*Kanye– This dude knows that he’s a designer label whore. It’s all about Louis Vuitton and whoever else’s stick he wants to ride. But, he is the king of using/sampling other people’s creations, so to expect anything less from him would be idiotic.
*Kelis– Hmm, I pretty much only like the hairstyle she had in the “Bossy” video. I mean, it did suit her well–but that’s about it.
*Ludacris– NO!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, yes, the dude did need to make a change; he couldn’t rock cornrows forever. But, he could have at least found somebody that could’ve given him the proper fade for goodness sake. Sheesh!!
*Gabrielle and Sanaa– I actually like Sanaa’s stlye better. Yes, Gabrielle is a beautiful chick and knows how to rock a nice dress, but Sanaa’s look just always seems to be more on point, to me.
*Kelly– Yes, Kelly definitely has style. She always had the best look, to me, in Destiny’s Child. Her hair and outfits always just made more sense. Too bad she doesn’t get as much attention as you know who.
*Nas– Umm, I’m not sure who he’s setting trends for, but, okay, since there’s not too many other rappers that you could compare him to, then, sure, he could be looked at as a trendsetter.
*Foxy– Hip Hop Diva? Style diva? Um, okay, I guess, she is. I mean, I don’t laugh at her as much as some of the other female rappers. So, yeah, she tends to have a better fashion sense then most in her category.
*Lil Wayne– Pass.
*Remy– LOL!! You are definitely on point with this title. She is so in a league of her own. The chick just doesn’t have a clue. Like they say, “Ignorance is Bliss.” And she seems to be in a state of bliss all of THEE time.
*Terrence Howard– Dude is pretty strange, but he is sooooooooo fine. Man, he’s a cutie. And very sexy. So, because of these things, I’ll let the clutch and the vest slide. But, hopefully, this behavior is just a phase.

Tracee Ellis Ross does that style thing sooo freakin classy. Classy but sexy. Her clothes are great and she is underrated for it. Love the recognition on this site.
I’m not a Rhainna fan but, she looks really pretty in the blue dress. Although, her first style fit her so well. It just went with her look. Now, whether u accept it or not, her style is biting Beyonce like no other. When people accuse other people, it’s normally not true, they are just being stansic, but, she really is. Look at her pose.
Kelis is out of this world fashionable. She should quit music and start a line. Like, she is soooo fly. I love it. Her hair is CRAAAAAAAZY. She pulls it off great.
Nick Cannon…wtf did that come from??? He looks graet. I never realized his grown man transformation until now!!
People can hate on Diddy but, he can dress his ass off. I love it. I think he dresses better that Jay Z. Bringing me to my next point, Nas and Kelis are my best dressed couple. They always look like they have jumped out of a Vogue fashion spread.
Never realized how pretty Kelly was. She looks good. Sanaa and Gabrielle!!! They need a damn cover girl contract. Somebody!!! They are, to me, the prettiest black girls in the biz. Luda is SEXY!!! Luv ya baby!!!

@33 I cosign with you.
Rihanna looks hot can we leave it at that? Beyonce is not the beginning and the end. I am just happy Rihanna came in the game and shook things up a bit. In my opinion she was the hardest working female artist out there this year.
She was everywhere and looked fly almost all the time. You know how the music business is. Rihanna is trying to appeal to a broader cross section than with her debut album. The image does go with that effort.
Beyonce always looked a bit grown to me even when she just came out so why isn’t anyone saying bad things about her or referring to her back then?
Rihanna is 18 but she is a mature young lady let her do the damn thing!
At the end of the day, I like them both, but Rihanna I give the nod for being a non-US artist and “mashing” up the place the way she is. If this keeps up, she will hit again in ‘07 with the album One.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

I agree with the list for the most part. Remy is most certainly in a legue of her own.
The only thing i have a problem with is lil waynes spot. ewww lil is ugly and needs some kinda help. He really thinks hes the hottest shyt out. His “kissing on my daddy* ass needs to really go somewhere.
Im glad to see sanaa and gabrielle on the list.
Ri ri did her thing this year.(big up to all my west indians)
Aww both nas and kelis mad the list. They are just so freaking cute 2gether. lol
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!

Rihanna looks HOT! She really has made a very big improvement in her wardrobe this year.
Sanaa is my favorite. She’s always beautiful and classy. So is Gabrielle.
Diddy, Nick Cannon, and Kanye are WACK.
Remy Ma is a HAM.
I love Tracee’s style.

Rihanna: I don’t know, but she seems like a Beyonce clone to me. It’s like she doesn’t really have her own individual style…she’s started to look too much like Beyonce to me on the red carpet and the stage. She definitely did an upgrade though.
Tracee Ellis Ross/Kerry Washington: They are two of the best dressed and stylish actresses out there. I LOVE Tracee’s outfits on Girlfriends.
Terrence Howard: LOL @ the “Uncle Leroy” comment. I think we all have one in the family. Although I will have to say in Terrence’s defense, for the most part he does pretty good on the red carpet(Dolce & Gabbana suits), but every now and then he’ll mess it up with a “manclutch”, a broach, that vest, or that electric blue suit/black beret outfit he wore to a NYC fashion show.

Beyonce is not the beginning and the end……….Exactly! WHy can’t Rhianna be glamorous and look classy with out her biting beyonce. BEYONCE STANS are extremelly blind and delirious….Rhianna looks classy and couture that does not mean shes biting beyonce. Why does beyonce have to be the standard for everything another rnb chick does or wears. The dresses rhianna is wearing I have not see Beyonce wear and if you ask me Rhianna look 10x better than beyonce!

-Rhianna looks better with bangs, if it wasn’t for her huge forehead she would be almost flawless. The blue dress is way to tight.
-Nick cannan, whatever.
-Tracee Ellis Ross always looks beautifal and classy, she has a diva for a mother.
-Kerry Washington is a beautiful woman but her dresses are ugly.
-Diddy is the king of style.
-Bee and jay always looks nice, but those nice suits aint doing nothing for his ugly face. Beyonce how do you do it gurl? Yuck!
-Kan”gay” West, Whatever.
-Kelis, ummm, shes weird. Like her style only in the ‘Bossy’ video.
-Luda, I like his Africa chain.
-Sanaa and Gabriele are just gorgeous but there dresses look like table clothes.

I agree with the whole list. And yes Bey and Jay do look good when they dress but I kind of get like a prom dress feel from Beyonce in all her dresses now. And you can find those anywhere, unlike say a Keri Washington dress which is really unique. I think that’s how RhiRhi gets stuck in the Bey catagory(not to mention a tiny resemblance to her). Hell you can buy a short white dress like Rhi’s a prom dress store. Bey’s dreses are jus not the most unique to me. She jus looks amazing in them.

What about Garcell (I know I spelled it wrong). She is always on point. And Mary J., as clean as she is from head to toe (at events of course), should have been somewhere on the list.
And where is Ms. Jay?
I personally like Will & Jada’s style together. Sometimes Jay-Z looks like a pimp.

Hey Tianna great job on the list.
I agree with all of your choices.
Bey and Jay are always doing the damn thing. I remember those pics of them walking in NY had the whole city watching em. Bey had on some killer pumps and jay was stylish too. I think the pic is in the logo sumwhere lol.
Tracee Eliss Ross. What can I say, I think she is the most fashion forward black star out there. She always looks amazing. Whoever dress’s her, or whether its herself need some serious praise cuz she look great. I also think she is an incredible actress who need to be getting a recurring role on greys anatomy or desperate housewives.
Dang, I couldnt figure out why all of a sudden my clothes started getting a lot more punk rock. Now I realize that its just the trend. Cuz Wayne and Kanye and even Nas throwback to 80’s is definately doing it.
Rihanna has been looking good.
That Kelis haircut is running rampant on FAMU’s campus lol. Girls shaving left and right, just like Tianna said.
And I think im the only one who get Remy style, But I like it.

I will say I agree with MOST of the list: Rihanna looks like a grown ass woman, Kelly Rowland looks sexy and sophisticated, Kanye is always doing his own thing, Kelis has her own flavour and doesn’t need to jock SWSNBN to get some attention, Hov and B always look nice but they are getting a bit boring, and Remy Ma is and always will be a HOT ASS MESS!!!
Now 4 the people that REALLY SHOULD BE ON THE LIST:
1. Where is Nelly? he ALWAYS looks fly, I think he should have been on the list instead of Nas, who just looks like a Busta Rhymes clone.
2. Where is Andre 3000? he is definetly a trendsetter rocking fedoras, and straw hats and suspenders? tell me who else in the rap game can rock suspenders and still look on point?
3. I also did not see Alicia Keys on the list and she has definetly improved her look since she first came out in 01, I know she has not been doing a lot in terms of music but the few times that I did see her on the red carpet ( at the 06 Grammys), On Oprah, at industry events she looked solid.
4. Where’s my boy T.I.? he can rock a sweatshirt and Timbs or a three piece suit and still look good, even though he has a boyish face!

DIDDY: I HAVE TO GIVE IT UP…THIS MAN CAN DRESS his ass off! (can’t dance or rap worth a shit but can DRESS his ass off)!
KELLIS: I LOVE HER HAIR LIKE THIS. (but the blonde I cant get with, I like the BLACK)
LUDICRIS: I liked the BRAIDS. He looks good but, I cant get use to this haircut on him.
GABRIEL & SANAA: WOW. (these girls know how to dress up)!!!

I don’t know how anybody can honestly look at RiRi’s pic in the blue dress and say ANYTHING negative. You all know you’re some damn haters!
IMO RiRi and Bey have similar figures and features so of course they’re going to wear similar clothes. Why should RiRi stay in baggy jeans?
So RiRi can’t wear mini skirts, high stiletos, long weaves and tight clothes b/c bey wears them? And besides, it’s not ‘Bey’s’ style. The hookers on the corners been sporting that for decades.
You Bey fans are the biggest hypocrites. And yall are always so quick to call somebody a hater. I know that I am not a hater b/c I don’t have a problem with saying that a pretty woman is pretty, like I have said about Bey. BUT YOU GUYS can’t even admit that RiRi is pretty too? Now that’s what you call a HATER.

I soo agree with #61,66 and 83 comments finally real people that makes sense. I think Rihanna has stepped it up dramatically and she is not trying to be like Beyonce.Nick is still corny as hell but he looks nice.Kerry Washington looks nice.Tracee looks okay sometimes.Kayne West looks faggoty all the time.Bey and Jay are the most oddest looking couple to me.Kelis is weird but she can pull it off.I have seen alot of chicks that tried her new hairstyle but it is not for everybody.Luda looks waay better with braids.Sannaa and Gab looks great but Sanaa pulls it off better.Kelly looks classy and has a kickass voice it is just a damn shame she does not get enough credit for her skills.Nas looks crazy but he still cute as hell to me.Foxy need to sit the fuck down.Remy question why? Terrance is so fine but why the purse.

Yo Foxy Brown looks so dayum pretty. I never noticed how pretty she is.

I dont know why her and Naomi remind me of the same person at times. But foxy’s skin complexion is so purrty. Brownbones stand up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lolz

Quit hating on Beyonce peoples! Rihanna may have stepped up her game a little but that STILL doesn’t mean that she’s talented. Tianna is a Bey stan so she’ll say anything great about beyonce or anybody who is trying to be Beyonce, which in this case is Rihanna. I cought her performance tonight before going out and I must say this officially……..sex sells cuz the performace left me asking where the hell Ciara’s ass was when they needed her! o well I can tell nobody takes this chick’s “singing” seriously so its okay for her to BOMB like Cassie I guess. anywhoo……..HAPPY NEW YEAR concrete loop!

I agree with this however, Bee & Jay are best dressed couple, but not because of House of done wrong.
9 times out of 10 when she is dressed for big affairs she is NEVER wearing HOD. She is not even seen in HOD shoes. And she stays with a LV purse. I’ve only seen her wear one of her bags on 1 occasion. She wears a lot of Ellie Saab and other Fab desingers.
Wearing HOD in videos does not count. That’s just a 5 minute comercial for that horrible clothing line.
Bee is fab, HOD is not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it real peoople.
P.S Where is T.I? He should definitly be on this list.

Rihanna looks good, she changed alot not just the way she dress but also her body. I guess she did alot of working out!!!
She cant sing 4 shit though!!! We all should admit that, especially the rihanna fans. She proved me right when that song unfaithful came out.
Anywas can we please stop that shit with rihanna and beyonce!! They both making money whether you like them or not!! You lot act as if they are your mothers, sisters etc
Your kissing their ass too much. The more you talk about them the more famous they get!! And the more famous they are, the more money they make.

This skin is always glowing and flawless, not to mention the fact that all of these woman are over 30 and can STILL play a highschooler role like Gaby did in Bring It On….she must have been like 28 or 29?! I didn’t know Gaby was 34!!!! She looks great
And Mathiew REALLY let Kelly Step her game up in ‘05-’06!!! Or maybe she just said F-U, cuz she is TIRED of dressing like Punky Brewster with all of the weird colors and clothing, JUST SO she don’t take away from a “certain” lead singers ‘thunder’ because it is OBVIOUS that Kelly is JUST AS beautiful as Bey and the Knowles’ know that!!!
Her skin is ALWAYS glowing, her figure is GREAT and easy to dress unlike Beyonce’s body type but she is not TOO skinny like Michelle.
I am also glad they allowed her to wear some weave just like everyone else in the group! I was wondering how much longer Tina would make her wear her short hair!!! The curly black weave really looks good o

No offense to the Rihanna dislikers but….
In defense of Rihanna (no I am not a fan AT ALL)…the connection you are all failing to make is….
JAY-Z is Rihanna’s BOSS, and she will wear what HE APPROVES and ONLY THAT because she signed her OWN image and own personal sense of style away when signed for DEF JAM ON THE SPOT WITH WHO…… NONE OTHER THAN BEYONCE’S BOYFRIEND…..JAY-Z!!!
Keep up now…..
It is NO COINCIDENCE THAT RIHANNA IS LOOKING LIKE BEYONCE AND IT IS ALSO NOT HER PERSONAL CHOICE!!!!
Now, Jay-Z believes Beyonce is the “hottest chick in the game” and to a degree, eventhough I am not a fan of hers at all, I have to agree with him because she is the IT girl right now for black music culture so Jay-Z is OF COURSE is going to dress Rihanna like the “hottest” so that he can make the MOST money off of her, because it is ALL BUSINESS, not personal. He is taking VERY GOOD tips from Mathiew Knowles in how to make an artist a sucess WHICH HE SHOULD because he is a very sucessful man.
JAY-Z/the lables hire the image consultants that dress Rihanna, NOT RIHANNA!!! All of these services are VERY expensive like publicist, image consultant, wardrobe specialists, the whole glam squad is payed by Jay-Z/Island Def Jam!!!!
Rihanna has VERY LITTLE say in what her image is!!! She is an 18 year old girl with NO experience so OTHER PEOPLE are molding her career and image, which they should, or else she will not be sucessful,and record lables don’t hire people to be un-sucessfu, right?!!!
You guys are SO FUNNY, you make everything so PERSONAL and in Hollywood, it’s just BUSINESS and TRICKERY in hopes of getting our money, which usually works.

To add to what I mentioned @ 103…..
You guys also seem to forget how TACKY Beyonce was in Destiney’s Child with her homemade smocks on and such designed by Tina Knowles BEFORE she met Jay-Z who introduced her to something called an IMAGE CONSULTANT lol.
I know I do!!! I used to sit at home at awards ceramonies and PRAY that she was wearing something Haut Couture instead of her mamas Not Cuture because she is such a beautiful woman and I always knew she could do better if she just could become her OWN woman (still waiting lol)!!!
I used to be SO EMBARRACED to see her come out in some of the things her mother used to convince her to wear!!! She was NOT representing fashion to the fullest like Mary J Blije ALWAYS has done @ first!!!
How easily we forget, what we want to forget…
Her mother’s style should only be worn as STAGE wardrobe because everything she designes is so costumish IMO!!!
Bottom Line….nothing is origional in Hollywood, and aint nothin’ new under the sun so just RELAX, sorry to burst your bubbles LOL

I loved Rihanna when she first came out because she was different and I loved the baha-beauty thing she had going on. As soon as she started working with Jay-Z more the more she looked like Beyonce. It’s sickening and I hate how she is the first one to dis Beyonce when she is nothing but a pathetic clone of her, from performances to dresses and hair styles. She dissed Beyonce at the award show where she won over Mary and Beyonce, she said “Tough category mary”, as if Beyonce is no competitition to her when she took her style completely, she a lil’Beyonce or trying to be but she lacks the one thing that makes Beyonce fierce, TALENT. But overall Rihanna looked good this year but it was not original and its sad tht someone else who you claim to despise, you had to recycle their style to upgrade yourself.

Rihanna’s hot right now to the masses, so of course a cosmetic endorsement will be thrown her way.
That’s the point of endorsements, these big companies don’t just hand them out to any fool on the street.
You gotta have mass appeal.
If you don’t, you get nada.
But, I agree that people like Sanaa and Tracey need one, they are beautiful and classy ladies.
Even so, I am glad that Angela Bassett and Queen Latifah have cosmetic ad campaigns with Covergirl and Revlon.

And im going to be totally honest but ..Beyonce can sing better than Rihanna and you people know it so why are people constantly comparing the two?

RiRi, hands-down, is doing her thing. I agree with the entire list, except Foxy & Remy Ma… Remy needs to be buried (perhaps Shawna coulda won that title?) & Foxy should face a similar fate. For HipHopDiva- I think Mariah should have won, HANDS-DOWN.

@soulchild, u cant tell rihanna to sit down cause she aint. rihanna is in no way bitin off beyonce’s style. beyonce and rihanna r both beautiful women, both TALENTED, and have so many accomplishments.
let’s face it PIPI, rihanna is only 18 just arrive to the music industry and has tons of endorsements. beyonce now start to get endorsements. when she was 18, did she have endorsements like rihanna now at her age? no, NIKE, COVERGIRL were around, why rihanna had to come all de way from de caribbean to be the FIRST ENTERTAINER IN DE WORLD TO GET A NIKE CONTRACT. why has rihanna gotten a COVERGIRL CONTRACT while bey is with L’OREAL. WAS BEYONCE DEAD AT THE TIME AND NOW SHE HAS RESURRECTED? explain that to me. no other artistes IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC INDUSTRY HAS ACHIEVED WAT RIHANNA HAS ACHIEVED IN A SHORT SHORT SHORT SHORT SPACE OF TIME. britney was it back then but not now. I LOVE BEY BUT CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN TO RIHANNA FOR HAVIN STUCK IN THE GAME CAUSE IT IS NOT EASY BEING AN ENTERTAINER. bey is a veteran much longer than rihanna, so we cant compare their longevity in the game.
and fuh de haters, why wanna backside aint got a RECORD CONTRACT? if wanna could sing better.
i am a hardcore RIHANNA FAN cause she is my COMPATRIOT and i support her 100%, btw, there is another bajan named shontelle who just got a record deal. LOOK OUT FUH DE BAJANS CAUSE WE COMIN IN DROVES, PACKS, FLOCKS, ETC.

@#126- I know, LOL, and I can’t help myself & I don’t try to.
Anyhoooo…. @ Bajan- Rihanna will NEVER be Beyonce, as adorable as she is & as successful as she is. Yes, she is doing well for herself. But one must consider that Beyonce is a trendsetter, a way maker. Beyonce came from Htown with her daddy as her manager and commenced to sell 60million records WORLDWIDE. She made it okay to have a booty in Hollywood. She sang 3 DIFFERENT songs @ a MAJOR awards ceremony, one in a different language. She has paved the way in ways that wasn’t feasible for Black artists. She is in a league of her own.
Rihanna, on the other hand, has the benifit of being pretty, young & and having a good makeup and management team. She has essentially became a product of good promotions- she’s a “before & after”. Her sound is unique for the times, but her voice is thin.
NOW- I love her (now), and think she’s gorgeous, but if it wasn’t for a marketing team (and JayZ)that basically HAS patterned her image after Beyonce’s, she woulda been another NinaSky or something. Her people saw what worked (with Be) and are doing the same things. Be had to figure a lotta stuff out on her own.
Beyonce and Destiny’s Child had a pattern, too. (Diana Ross & the Supremes, ect.) But don’t get it twisted. Don’t forget where you come from, because although I know you’re an ISLANDER specifically, to the Caucasion set, we are all the same- BLACK.
I’m not just saying this cuz I love Be- I’m saying it because it’s the truth.

The endoresement game is very different than it was even 5 years sgo, much because the music and esp. hip hop is so different and so much more prominent worldwide. Check any and every mainstream commercial - they are using a hip-hop, rap beat or hip-hop, rap or RnB artist. It is about business - and please believe Jay- Z and Matthew Knowles are good businessmen. Jay-Z changed the endorsement game - the first rapper with a sneaker deal, and almost all of the ad industry is jocking him to endorse their products.
Both Rihanna and Beyonce are very talented, but are most fortunate to have good business people working it out for them. You know there are other more or as talented singers and entertainers, but if you don’t have the right team - you don’t get too far.
It’s show business, with the emphasis on BUSINESS.

@#128-”She made it okay to have a booty in Hollywood”
No, Jennifer Lopez made it okay to have a “booty” in Hollywood. Beyonce(along with most other black women) had a “booty” for years, but until JLo came along and made it a “trend” and acceptable…Hollywood thought having a booty meant you were too fat!!!

I’m bout to get real ghetto on some of ya’ll:
FIRST OF ALL: who the hell ever said Beyonce was the goddess of the fashion world? She just got that bad ass body together, for crying out loud. Why ya’ll hating that designers have found a new body to play with? I’m happy Rhianna stepped her game up…she’s not gonna stay young and dumb (not knocking how she looked when she first came out) forever!
SECOND OF ALL: Clearly a comment should’ve been made about Keyshia Cole stepping on the scene and showing Remy how the hair should look!
FINALLY: I’M SAD MY BOO T.I. ISN’T ON HERE!

Now, I watched Rhianna some celebration and couldnt help but think wtf??? It’s like Beyonce w/o the talent! LOL—that girl sux, musically….it was like watching a little girl pretending to be Beyonce.
Jayonce was a dead giveaway for best-dressed couple since there arent many to choose from…Im SICK OF THEM!!!
Everyone else, I agree with!

Okay..so i like the list but i need to make some changes…
ASHANTI & NELLY are the cutest couple. I would much rather see them together than jay-z and beyonce, to me, their not a real couple it seems like an image thing, i.e. he’s the hottest, she’s the hottest( NOT THE BEST, JUST THE MOST RECOGNIZED)
Replace Luda with Nelly
Replace Lil Wayne with Jim Jones
Ashanti shoulda got an award. SHE ALWAYS LOOK GOOD

@128—plz…Beyonce is a gimmick…the biggest gimmick that ever lived…it just so happens that she has some talent…its not the other way around.
She is built on sex appeal. Did you see how mundane she looked in DG previews (or the movie if you saw it?) That IS HER…all the blonde weaves, heavy makeup and sex appeal is a marketing strategy named “Sasha”…all a gimmick that she effortlessly and flawlessly executes…which will inevitably be her greatest downfall

kelis’s hair design & hair itself is extra fresh not a lot of girls can pull that off!

foxy brown needs to stick to straight hair real talk

128 - I love you just said it all plan and simple!
Althought Jlo came out with booty first there where alot of rumours that it wasn’t even real.. although i think it is.. BUT i think Beyonce came out with booty for BLACK people..
Bajan - your even worst then the B stans! I think the only reason why your madly in love with Rihanna is because she’s Bajan like you are..hmm so if she was American would she still like her all the same?

I agree with veesky. Lil Wayne stole the BAPE style from Pharrell, then he decided to bite Dipset with the whole thermal shirt with tight jeans and chain look. I bet if he had a falling out with Dipset, he would be trying to claim that he put their look on the map. He’s a lame. He even tried to steal Jay’s swagger plus he had and got Trina looking like a bootleg wanna-be Beyonce.

I just have a couple of thoughts…..well as far as the trendsetting award, what trend did nas set?….If its the big Dookie chains, Pharrell was the FIRST i seen do that back at the 2005 MTV awards. 2. Kanye CANNOT dress he just has confidence in the bullsh*t he wears so people think whatever he has on must be hot. 3. Lil wayne is an amazing rapper but his Clownage is at an all time high right now..he clearly dissed Pharrell and claims he doesn’t know who he is yet is giving him more money by wearing Ice Cream…what a Goon! And finaally, where the hell is Nicole Richie on this list?!?!?
