THIS WEEK’S WHAT THEY WORE
Wednesday, February 13, 2008

- Lil Mama stepped up her game at Clive Davis’ Grammy party over the weekend wearing this blue Chanel gown. I’m happy to see her step into a more grown up look…
- Ashanti wore this short Elie Saab creation at a Grammys afterparty paired with Christian Louboutin pumps…
- Actress Thandie Newton looked incredibly chic in this Alexander McQueen gown at the Orange British Academy Film Awards…

Whitney Houston really showed off at the Clive Davis Grammy party as well. She wore an Elie Saab gown on the red carpet and switched into a Herve Leroux dress for the ceremony to show her great figure. Work it Whitney…

And speaking of Herve Leroux, also known as Herve Leger - of course there was plenty of those on the red carpet recently. Kim Kardashian must’ve worn her 10th creation, and Pussycat Doll Melody Thorton also wore a great Leger design (excuse her hairstyle)…

Thought some may be sick of her now, Rihanna definitely stepped out in style all last week. Here are some of my personal favorite looks from her as of recent. See more recent looks from the singer at People.com…
WHAT THEY WORE ON THEIR FEET

One shoe I saw a lot of on the red carpet was the YSL Tribute pump. You can cop this shoe at YSL.com…

Another star rocks shoes from Balenciaga’s Fall 07 line. Tracy Ellis Ross wore these open toed boots at the NAACP Nominee Luncheon. They are a few thousand dollars cheaper than the ones Beyonce rocked…

And speaking of open toed boots, they are a popular pick this season. Here Solange and Keri Hilson rock the boot trend at a Pre-Grammy party. Which ones do you like better?

Those open toed bootie things are not cute to me. I have just never liked the “boot” with a mini deal…just me I guess.
Lol…I am old fashioned, too, I guess….but I don’t wear my shoes without those little stocking footies if I don’t wear hose…damn these people’s shoes and feet must be sweaty as hell…

Rihanna is killing it! She is on point most of the time. She has a great stylist.
Amerie has a great sense of style also.
Whitney looks great. I’m looking forward to the new album.
Those open toe boots Tracee has on are absolutely fabulous.
Solange boots are cute, but she ruined it by wearing a black dress with black accesories. That’s very tacky.

WHOA! Lil Mama looks AMAZING! That dress is of THE hotness.
Ashanti looks great!
I’m not feeling Thandie’s gown…sorry. It wouldve been hot without the lace sleeve.
Whitney looks good in the Elie gown.
Does Kim own the same dress in every color? She wears the same thing every red carpet she’s on.
Melody looks a hot mess. That dress makes her proportions look WHACKED.
Rhi-Rhi looks hot all 3 times.
WHOA! Get it Golden…that outfit looks good on YOU
Those opened toed boots are of the tacky. Keri looks AWESOME though..from the ankle up.

Love Keri Hilson’s look! Solange…..I like this better than the actual award ceremony dress, but that’s not saying much. Ashanti looks pretty, except for that lipgloss. The dress is wearing Lil Mama, but she gets a “good job” for the effort of trying to wear something refined and classic. Usually love Tracy, but not feeling any of it. Rihanna, feeling ALL of it, especially the grey– she looks flawless. Janet looks great– like Golden’s skirt, not feeling Amerie’s anything, but I think the haircut will grow on me if she wears some curls or bumps it– too flat. Whitney looks beautiful in the first, and I don’t like the dress in the second, but she still looks good. YAY! Kim– I am tired of her in the Herve!! I know she likes them but she just is starting to look the same in everything. Hair always down. Tight wrap dress, same makeup. She’s a pretty girl with a nice shape— switch it UP! The “doll” …. redo! Thandie is beautiful, but I don’t like the dress or all the weave. I really love her natural hair.

Anyway…… As I was saying, Ashanti is MURDAH!
I’m Glad Lil Mama is looking a tab bit better these days,
Ri Ri stays fly, although I don’t know if she has her own personal style or if she just wears what her stylist gives her.
I so have those YSL shoes in Black I love them, I so have them on in my myspace defaullt pic.
Im feeling the opend toe Belenciaga boots, n the one Keri Hilson wore.

I’m not feelin’ lil Mama’s back to the future Alvin Ailey Dancer get up!
Ashanti and Whitney Houston’s Elie Saab gowns are nice. I would have liked Whitney’s a lil longer and I would have worn a more “sparkly” shoe with Ashanti’s dress.
Kim K. looks really nice in her dress, this makes how many of those dresses she has……1, 2,………………..still counting…….115, 116……ah hell I’ve lost count. Nonetheless she looks nice.
I thought Melody was Ashanti at first, then my eyes scrolled up to that Chia Pet on her head and then I thought…..”Toto, are we still in 1997?” LOL The dress is cute tho’.
Rihanna’s hair is cute in the last pic.
Those YSL shoes are sooooo ‘block strollin’, club night out, stripper hot’, especially on Amerie. She is killin’ it in those shoes.
Now the open toe shoe/boot I am not feelin. Tracee Ellis Ross’s look like some slave shoes that they cut the toe out of just so they could fit.
Solange’s and Keri’s just look flat out Rainbow cheap!

Okay - Solange looks a hot mess!! I am not feeling Lil Mama’s outfit either and Thandie - eh…She just doesn’t do it for me…Ashanti looks nice. She has really stepped up her game for the good and Rih Rih ALWAYS looks nice. Her stylist deserves a raise.. Mama Whitney is back and I am loving it. Only a true Diva would rock one dress on the carpet and then switch on the inside of the gala. Work it out, mama! I’m not a fan of Kim, but she does look good in this dress. And those boots are FIRE! I would rock those..

But the boots are interesting

I’m sad that I don’t like Tracee’s outfit
Gotta give a shout out to Janet, even though they’re just focusing on the shoes
That’s it. haha

The top 3 dresses are just plain hideous.
All of Rihanna’s outfits are all cute. The Herve dresses are ok.
Everything else…………………………..
Oh, and Solange needs to fire her stylist ASAP. She looks like a cracked out Raggedy Ann doll, or ……a clown.

Lil Mama looks like she’s been playing in her grandma’s closet. That dress it too matronly. She needs to find a stylist to help her dress her age. (Maybe Rhianna could loan hers out).

Ashanti’s shoes are nice, Thandie Newton looks great as always…
Golden looks great in black and white, doesn’t she? Actually, they all do…and I’ve noticed in Tyra’s little silver overlay photos the black girls always look the most striking.
I love both Whitney’s dresses and the Pussy Cat Doll’s dress is nice too.
Tracee Ellis Ross’s shoes are hot, but like Thandie and unlike most other African American stars, she is a woman of great taste and distinction.
Solange’s look isn’t that bad, it’s just that she’s making the mistaking of riding her sister’s coattail…she can’t do that when she pales in comparison the way she does. Plus, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen have worn that shoe to death. She copies them a lot, I’ve noticed that. The shoe is a good contrast with the dress, though..
Keri’s style should be more mature. The jacket, bright colored dress, and bootie is too young. The Pussy Cat Doll’s dress with that bootie and sans jacket and accessories would have been hot.

Those open toed booties remind me of some shoes I had back in 1997, but they were white snake skin print. Don’t think they are cute anymore.

Lil Mama looks like the flying nun in that dress. It doesn’t suit her at all- she’s too rough.
Thandie can look chic wrapped in toilet paper! That dress is original- McQueen rocks.
Kim is overdoing it now with the tight dresses. C’mon- we get it! You have a small waist and huge butt- both surgically enhanced.
Why does Whitney insist on the drugstore brand granny hose?
Those peep toe pumps are cute, but already played out.

Tracee should’ve worn those boots with a swanky Denim Skirt….a Swanky top (same color as the boots) some bangle braclettes - Hoop earrings - and the whole fit would ROCK, in my opinion…

Rihanna really shouldn’t have cut her hair so short lol her face needs coverage…she shouldn’t go any shorter than chin length. Her sylist does pull some cute looks, but I’d like to see more of “her” in her clothes.
Ms. Newton IS fashion. She looks amazing & she’s self-styled. You guys should give her more shine, especially in these fashion pieces. She’s always at some event in London. I mean she actually has style, not a stylist.
The fit of that Chanel on Lil Mama is awful lol She needs a tailor. yeah, those YSL’s are amazing. Whitney doesn’t look good AT ALL lol she still look like she’s on that ish.
Those booties can work on the right person, b/c on Keri I like it. But on Solange it looks cheap and messy lol.

I reluctantly admit that I do like Rihanna’s style - she dresses really well. She looks nice in all of those shots.
Before I leave this earth, I will own a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes (and will probably be filing for divorce concurrently LOL) - the one’s Ashanti have on are really nice.

All the shoes if fly as hell but honestly what difference does it make comparing who has the best style when their stylists tell them what to wear and then take back the clothes at the end of the night cause they dont own that shit, with the exception of Golden, I’ve seen her wear those more than once so she probably own hers but everybody else looking that hoe up in the club always wearing her best friends clothes. I’m just saying…

Those Herve Lerge dresses are so horrible lol. You guys here seem to love them, but I think it looks so cheap. Maybe if someone fly wore one like Thandie, Tracee or Kelis, but that PSC chick and Kim look so tacky and whorish.

THE ONE THAT WAS THE BEST WAS THE ONE THAT CHRISTINA MILIAN WORE. I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR THAT ONE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF A KIND!!! EVERYONE LOOKS NICE EXCEPT THAT DAMN HAM GOLDEN BROOKS. HER NAME SHOULD BE TARNISHED CAUSE THE HELL IF SHE IS GOLDEN ON ANY LEVEL…I JUST DONT GET HER!!!.

Most of them look nice. I’m not feeling Lil Mama or Thandies’s dresses. Whitney looks like she may still be on that stuff. She’s just much to skinny and i’ve seen her look thicker than that just a few months ago. And it may just be the dress but is Amerie pregnant? I seen pics of her a few days ago at another event and I she looked like she had a ‘glow’.
