WHEN DID SHE ROCK IT BETTER?: ASHANTI
Wednesday, August 1, 2007

Here’s another edition for you guys this week. We posted candids of Ashanti in NY over the weekend wearing this colorful patterned dress. She also wore it back in May in the Bahamas while attending Cove Atlantis’ Disco Concert Cap Off. Two different scenarios, one dress - when did she rock it better?
Thanks to CL reader Cindy for sending this to us!

I preferred it in May, she gave a very vintage feel reminiscent of DC3’s Independent Women video circa 2000…BUT, let the record show
I don’t particularly care for the dress

She can’t rock the same outfit on camera. She “famous”….they can wear it again in the comfort of their own home but not out on the town..Twice!

The second picture. She looks real cute there. The hairstyle works with the outfit. Some styles just don’t match with certain clothes knamean…

She NEVER rocked it better. That dress loooks like a patio table cover from the sixties. Now if only it came with a hood that she could zip up!
LOL. Just kidding…

The second pic is much cuter; the make-up and hair coordinate well with the dress.

Lea

@ ladyloza, I totally agree. There is no way I’m gonna be a celebrity; spend like $800 dollars on a dress and only wear it once, no matter how rich I am. That just isn’t practical; at least not in my book.

Homegirl must be running a little low on funds. She must REALLY like that dress. Even I wouldn’t wear it that often.

Why do people find it so outthere for celebs to wear the same clothes twice wdf
yalll all know yall g0t days where yall wear da same damn things more than twice
money dont fall from the tree where i am from im not saying i wear my shit over over and over but damn its clothes if im rockin the same thing i tend to switch it up something most of these celebs do just because your a celeb dont make you any less human
and if you wanna wear the same damn thing then hell wear it so it doesnt matter which looks better to me cl0thes is fkn clothes leave it at that

She didn’t wear the same dress to an event wok king on the red carper she was just wok king on vehicle and a photographer took her some pick. I don’t no why some of you are tripping Ashanti never wear the same dress on the red carpet

oh just saw #5’s comment, I think it’s the lighting. Pic 1- candid off the street, Pic 2 on the red carpet- there’s more camera flashes and lighting.

It’s one thing to wear the same dress like a couple years a part but to be a celebrity n wear it jus two months within each other….thats tacky

Definitely July cuz she looks a hot mess back in May. Her hair & makeup artist’s need to be fired after that one.

57.
Princess

I think she rocked it better the second time around but they say 3 times is a charm so I guess when she is wearing the outfit every two months so say we check back again in Sept when she wears it again before the summer ends. I’m sorry but Ashanti is a has been.. Aww poor baby! SHE IS WACK!!!!! BITCH GO AHEAD AND HAND ME OVER TO THE SIDE! I want to go to the amusement park and ride on the rollercoaster!!
*SINGING* I aint got take my panties off, just move them to the side, i want to ride on that rollercoaster, come on and let me ride… HAHAHAHA.. naw im just joking.

I wouldn’t look at either of them separately and think WTF? So I’m going to have to say it’s a tie. Ashanti never disappoints in her dressing.

Ashanti looks a hot ass mess in both! That outfit is straight up ugly. WTF is up wih her boy looking body? I personally think she wore it twice because she is low on money, just like Mya and Meagan Good. Plus she hasn’t been styling in the latest fashion for a while now. Some people think it’s not cool to wear same article of clothing and some people do. Who cares everybody got a different opinion. Some of ya’ll need to realize that.

@ all the haters. She’s gorgeous no matter what she’s wearing. With that face it doesn’t even matter whether she’s a has been, a broke broke or has a boy body (which she definitely doesn’t ).

Damn some of yall act like she is the only celeb who rocks the same shit twice. Beyonce did it B4 and so did Megan Good. That does NOT mean she is broke. Dumb asses. Anyway I say the 2nd pic cause I like her shoes and the pink headband.
Luv u shanti!

First pic looks like she’s hanging out on the town and the paparazzi happened to snap a shot. Second pic is a themed red carpet event where there are millions of cameras flashing and that makes her skin and the dress look brighter. She looks good in both. It must be great being a celebrity and having millions of people, including myself critique, judge, and make assupmtions about their financial and personal lives.lol Obviously it just comes with their careers.
@ # 10 not tryna bash you are nething but be realistic. Everyone wears articles of clothing more than once. It’s just called accessorizing and switching up outfits with different peices. We all need to go to hell for wearing our clothes more than once…C’mon yall let’s keep it real!!!

People hate on Ashanti but in all actuality she is a very nice down to earth woman…i met her on 2 occasions and both times she was mad chill…as for the outfits…i don’t like how she looks in either…the dress looks better with heels however, black peeptoe pumps would have been fine…too much goin on with the bangles…loop earings are fine with the curls to the side…long hair looks good on her but you dont want to cover the front of the dress like that… eye makeup should be colorful but a lil more subtle…
