WHEN DID SHE ROCK IT BETTER? SANAA LATHAN EDITION
Tuesday, February 27, 2007

Hey peeps, it looks like we got another edition of “When Did She Rock It Better.” This time it’s Sanaa Lathan rocking the same exact outfit to two different events.
First she rocked it back in August at Cynthia Garrett’s “Love Conquers All” Jewelry Collection, and then she wore it again last week at Russell Simmons’ Green Initiative Launch luncheon.

She could have at least worn a different necklace. The first time was better.

Umm, I’m not too crazy about the outfit at all…but she definately rocked it better in the first pic.
On another note, I can’t understand why Celebs wear the same outfit twice…ESPECIALLY to public events. It’s just so tacky to me. ugh

SHE ROCKED IT BETTER AT THE FIRST PICTURE, MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT BACKGROUND AND HER HAIRDO…

I like her hair on the first pic better.
However, it’s the same dress on the same person. There’s not a whole lot of comparing to be done.

She prob just forgot she wore it… I don’t remember what I wore on one day back in August last year…
She looked cute both times I think, but the first pic was cuter to me, just the pose and everything, but her hair looked better in the second pic…

yes
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 /
when celebs recycle outfits they recycle the whole thing i guess, she could have changed the shoe or somethin
the only difference is the bracelet, hair and lipstick, all minor
if i had to choose i’d go with the right

August of ‘06 she rocked it best.. Feb ‘07 looks like she didnt take it to the dry cleaners.. Maybe she should be on a funcky celebrity post… The boots are hot (even if she did borrow them from Auntie Viv).

Sanaa Lathan could wrap a towel around her beautiful brown body, and I would still be impressed.
Sanaa Lathan is a very stunning woman.
Whatever she wears would just be icing on top of the cake…

Celebrities owe it to the fashion community to never wear the same $#!T twice! You make enough money to wear it once and donate it to the women in battered shelters or girls in the TLDOA = Teen Lap Dancer Of America! lol
But seriously, what is the dress code for celebrities who pay thousands for some of those outfits? I know SANAA LATHAN didn’t pay much for that Kamono, so she could have worn some pants with her favorite boots!
What is the cool off period for repeats? Six months seems too soon, but if she waited a year it would go out of style! Who is her wardrobe consultant? These WCs and bodyguards ain’t doing they job! First Diddy’s son gets turned out and now this!
Random….

i think i prefer the one on the left because of the hair. the neckline and the necklace are enough distraction, so the hair pulled back seems to fit a little better.

You know, I was thinking:
I think woman should walk around in just their bra & panties..
Here’s why:
Woman spend WAY to much time worrying about what they wear, and If they are going to wear the same otfit twice…
Ladies, Just walk around in bra & panties…
Our BIG girls can rock spandex & a baby girl top…and the will problem will be solved !!!!
Men could care less what a woman has on, unless that man is Andre Leon Talley

it would have been better, if she didnt have her arm covering the dress in the second one.
its the FIRST/LEFT one she rocked it better in.

In the first picture she looked classy. In the second picture she looked like she hadn’t worked in a while, that’s why she had to rock the same outfit!

No Sanaa… just NO! And with the same boots no less. You could’ve tried to switch it up. At least try to fool somebody. Oh well. You still my girl, but… DAMN! Well, at least she wore them months apart. What celebrities should do is donate their clothes to auction… that way situations like this won’t happen again. Cause you know knee-grows gonna clown you. (wink… wink)
Wait a minute, I got sidetracked. What was your question? Oh, when did she rock it better? Sanaa rarely takes bad pictures. I think she looks good in both, but I’m gonna go with the first one.
Let this be a lesson Sanaa. I don’t wanna have to have this conversation with you again. Now… go sat down!

i don’t have a problem with the same outfit twice…my problem is her thinkin the boots look nice with the dress both time! celebs are human they are entitled to repeat an outfit.

I don’t see a problem with them rocking a outfit more than once, but at least switch it up a little.
I like the first one better with her hair up, you can see her face better. She is so pretty.

Okay is this another joke?
I’m with you #37. I mean I wear outfits more than once. Is something wrong with that? Just because celebs have $ that means they are not supposed to be seen in the same outfit twice? Shiiiiiiit, if I was a celeb you’ll sholl talk about me. Because I don’t give a rat’s a$$. I’ll tell you’ll just like this “I got money in the bank, shawty what ya drank” LOL

the boots just don’t look right w/the dress. i guess it’s ok to rock the dress twice (though i don’t condone it. celebs have enough money to go to SPECIAL events with different clothes. you wanna go to the store in the same pair of jeans all the time , fine but a special event calls for new clothes) but at least switch something up. she could’ve changed the boots for instance

Who ever said celebrities are normal people need to visit Hollywood! I don’t know your definition of normal, but:
I don’t walk around all day with a fake smile on my face from too much plactic surgery!
I would never leave my children to be raised by the security team!
When I suspect the pappazazzi is watching, I leave nothing to chance!
I don’t take lethal doses of prescription drugs and alcohol to get camera ready!
When you are celebrity, you’re not supose to live like normal people! Why chose to go into a profession and then violate its unwritten rules? If you’re a politician, you don’t get drunk in public. If you’re a preacher, you don’t cuss people out from the pulpit and tell them where to go! Even if they need it! If you are a realitor, you don’t show up driving a hoopty! If you work in close quarters, you don’t show up smelling funky!
There are rules of the game that you follow in any profession! And, this chick knows better! There are stores that sell dresses like the one she was wearing for $12. She should have 100s of those dresses! Buy it, wear it, give it away or burn it! I have never seen Oprah wearing the same outfir! I’m sure she does, but I can’t remember when! Hell, even Aretha knows how to keep her tires rotated!

I know I would drink her bath water too. Then I would pour the water into my denture cup and then put my teeth in and suck the mess outta that bath water!!.
Looking at her, just gives me hernias!! I saw her at the award show and I almost broke my hip trying to get to the TV.
What were we talking about again?
THIS STUPID DEMENTIA!!!

That dress is ok but not good enough to wear twice. The hair in the 2nd pic looks better. I think she paid alot of money for the dress though bcuz that style had just come out in August. But now she could buy that same dress for like $80 bucks. She should give that dress up to a lil cousin or close friend.

it doesn’t matter which 1 looks better!!! YOU SHOULD NEVER WEAR THE SAME THING 2WCE TO ANY EVENT!! if she liked it that much she should have worn it the mall or to the movies..not another EVENT!!(expecially when your $$$) there’s just no excuse(PERIOD)..IMO

She rocked it the same but just changed her hair. She always looks cute though. I don’t know why yall think celebs only wear outfits once. Evening gowns to events like the Grammys, yes, but other than that why the hell not wear it just like you wear anything else? It’s SO not that serious! She wore the dress to a friggin jewelry show and a Russel Simmons event…those ain’t major!

Celebs go to parties so much whether it be for promoting, support, fun, or business that I could definitely understand them losing track of what outfit they wore 8 months before. They’re regualr people who just live their lives. No matter how rich you are, no one’s going to spend money just to make sure that they appease the public by wearing a completely different outfit to every public event they attend. I’m just sayin…
I think she looks better the second time…I’m really feelin the curly hair on her!
