We know celebrities wear designer duds on the red carpets, but when they rock it straight from the runway – do they rock it better? Check out some of these recent outfits worn by the stars and see how they chose to do up their looks:
ASHANTI IN S/S 07′ BALENCIAGA
Ashanti rocked this blue Balenciaga dress from their Spring 2007 collection along with a matching belt and yellow wedge heels on 106 & Park. Did she do the high end dress justice?
NICOLE MURPHY IN S/S 08′ STELLA MCCARTNEY
Nicole Murphy, who has been looking quite fierce lately, wore this Spring 2008 Stella McCartney suit at the premiere of ‘Step Brothers’ last week.
JADA PINKETT SMITH IN 2008 GUCCI RESORT
Jada Pinkett Smith got casual chic in this 2007 Gucci Resort jacket at Nelson Mandela’s concert earlier this month. Is that jacket hot or not off the runway?
RIHANNA IN S?S 08′ BETSEY JOHNSON
Rihanna who is a huge Betsey Johnson fan, wore the designer’s striped & pokadot dress from the Spring 2008 collection.
KELLY ROWLAND IN S/S 08′ RALPH LAUREN
Kelly Rowland glowed in this yellow Ralph Lauren Spring 2008 gown at the Black Ball earlier this month.
JENNIFER LOPEZ IN OSCAR DE LA RENTA RESORT
New mommy Jennifer Lopez wore this floral Oscar De La Renta dress while on the set for a In Style photoshoot.
I say the red carpet ladies did the damn thing!
I’m sorry. Almost everytime it looked better on the runway…
with the exception of Rihanna & Kelly.
I think the stars look better than the models because they have real features and not skinny like little rail. And IM FIIIIIRRRRSSSTTTT>>>>HAHAHAH
Ashanti…no
Nicole…definite yes
Jada, Rhianna & Kelly…yes, yes, yes
J.Lo *sigh* looks dried up or something
I hate the dress that JLO’s rocking. It makes her look old. It doesn’t compliment her body/frame.
Ashanti’s dress also looks a mess. The model’s verison is way better. Perhaps the dress was intended for a woman w/ a lot less curves? Hmmm…
Kelly Rowland just looks all wrong! The color looks nice w/ her skin tone but…it just doesn’t work for her frame.
Nicole Murphy looks sooo fiece & hawt!!!
Love Jada’s pants and shoes. The entire ensemble, looks a hot fuckin mess.
Rihanna looks….typical
only kelly rocked it better than the model and that’s only b/c her skin tone goes great with the dress.
Kelly and Rihanna look the best to me
In order of who rocked it best
Nicole murphy
Rihanna
Kelly
Ashanti
jada
JLO
I like Ashanti’s hair, but thats it, absolutely hate her.
Rihanna and them short dresses, she looks like a hoochie.
Love Kelly, that dress looks great on her. It compliments her skin tone.
Jennifer….Uh, No.
Ashanti’s dress is cute and I luv the yellow shoes
Ashanti-> naw
Nicole-> deff yea.
Jada-> Hell yea, she killed the jacket
Rihana-> yea its here typical style seems like
Kelly-> she owned dat dress.
J.Lo-> ugly dress but yea i guess. its quite boring
i forgot to add that murphy needs to drop the hat. it’s a safari outfit, adding the hat makes it very cheesy and exaggerates the safari theme
ashanti looks a messss
jlo looks chunky here. the dress does no favors
jada tries so hard to be fashionable lol. the open-toed booties would be cute with another outfit but she’s overdoing the black/white theme of the outfit
i can’t make up my mind about riri’s b/c her shoes are almost the same as the model’s shoes. i don’t like it on her or the model anyway but i like it on the model a little more b/c the bottom has more of a poof on her
Ashanti is a too curvy for that dress.
Nicole look cute, if Ashanti had her figure she would rock her dress much better.
Jada’s a hot mess!
Rihanna thighs is too big, but she looks good (thanks God I am not hearing her sing!).
Kelly skin tone is wrong for that yellow dress.
J.lo looks alright to me.
To me the stars look the best everytime, except for maybe JLO
I loved Nicole, Rihanna and Kelly !
Ashanti downgraded the high fashion appeal of the dress…
Jada’s OK…
And that dress and J.Lo just don’t get along
Miss Kelly…you did that in that yellow dress!!!!! Simply Stunning.
Nicole and Rihanna are both looking fly in there ensembles…but Ashanti, no boo!!!! not cute.
I agree with #2, except I’m diggin Nicole Murphy in that outfit. She usually looks scary, so this is an upgrade.
ASHANTI-NO, I THINK SHE TOO THICK FOR THAT DRESS
KELLY-BEAUTIFUL
RIHANNA-TYPICAL
NICOLE-THAT OUTFIT IS THE SHIT
J.LO-BITCH U NEED A TAN, AND TO LOOSE ABOUT 15 POUNDS FOR THAT DRESS TO LOOK RIGHT
JADA-CUTE!
Ashanti really needs to go to hell with them shoes…
The outfits all look better on the runway except for Kelly’s and Nicole Murphy’s….
Nicole Murphy – BLAZIN!!!
Jada Pinket – HMMM
Rhianna – CUTE
Jennifer Lopez – DISAPPOINTING

Unfortuantely, most of these looks favor the slimmer girls. So Nicole, Rhianna, Kelly and Jada pull off the looks well.
Ashanti’s dress looks cheap and plastic. Not that hot of a dress anyways. I love the model’s added touch with the black gloves with the yellow Ralph Lauren dress.
OMG! Tianna, I LOVE this post!! As I recreate/steal star’s styles for myself.
They take it from the runway, and I take it from them, LOL. Here we go:
Ashanti = NO
Nicole = YES, she did it better
Jada = YES
Rihanna = YES, she did it better
Kelly = YES, the yellow goes alot better with a darker skintone
J-Lo = NO
jjadas jack dont look good on the runway
The stars wins it 4-2 with this one
Ashanti–the dress makes her look chunky
Nicole Murphy–KILLED that outfit…you go girl!
Jada–rocked her outfit too
Rhi Rhi–rocked her fit better than the model too
Kelly–did damage in that dress. I looks so good against her skin.
J-Lo–sorry boo, that dress is not working for you.
Ashanti looks cute, so what if she looks too thick, she is a REAL woman. She is not a starving runway model. On the other hand, did she burn all of her pants? Since she has been back on the scene she hardly ever wears pants (not talking about short shorts).
Ashanti doesn’t look cute in that fugly dress, she downgraded it, Nicole looks fierce she killed it, Jada looks ok, rhiana looks good in her dress, Kelly’s formal looks good against her skin, and J-Lo has really fallen off, she doesn’t look good in that dress at all!!!
Im gonna say no to Ashanti & J-Lo……..
As for everyone else they don’t look better or worse than the models as they all have slim frames it works for them.
@ Number 13: How can you say Rihanna has thick thighs?! Shes slim! If she has thick thighs then I must be obese! (which I am defo not!) Lol
Ashanti’s shoes were cute and that’s about it. Nicole Murphy has been killing it lately. She looks great. Rhianna…FAB! Kelly’s skin is beautiful in that yellow.
Nicole looks very nice in that fit….I think she looks the best
You can’t really compare regular girls to 5′ 10″ thin models, it just isn’t fair lol. Nicole M. is tall and thin like a model so I think her look is the only one that’s better than the model. Kelly R., Rihanna and Ashanti look nice though. That Balenciaga dress is SERIOUS.
J.Lo’s dress is too small, it’s squeezing her fat and she’s busting out the top of it. Once she hit 35 her looks went to hell lol She’s been such a frump for the last couple of years.
I hate to say it but there is a reason why models are slim, you’re meant to focus on the clothes, not the body.- some runway outfits are just not made for curvy women like Ashanti, then again, i’ve seen plenty of posts where she’s wearing clothes from the runway where she looks fab. (the dress she’s wearing isnt that hot anyway…yep blame the dress. )
Jada, Kelly and Nicole and Rihanna fare just as well if not better than the models tho’.
#13 u must be looking thru bottle coke glasses. How in the hell are rihanna’s thighs ‘thick’
She could’ve wore better SHOES
Ashanti should’ve wore some futuristice like SHOE
N.Murphy looks just like the model version but she should of MINUSED THE HAT
Jada wore the Jacekt Well
J.Lo still needs to loose weight but she looks kind of Cute in the dress
Rhi ROCKED the dress. I love Besty Johnson my DAMN SELF!
J-Lo Looks a hot mess.
I say the stars did as good as the runway girls, except with Ashanti that dress is just ugly period.
The stars look way better in the gear than the models. Except Ashanti’s fugly outfit
Rihanna looks better than the model. She should model for Betsey Johnson. That seems like her style.
Nicole Murphy looks just as good as the model.
Jada has too much black and white going on in that outfit. Could be the shoes idk. I’m giving that one to the model.
Kelly looks better than the model.
Ashanti doesn’t look better than the model. Idk that dress just doesn’t seem to fit her personal style or personality idk.
J-Lo looks a hot ass mess.
J- No No The Looks She Going For Is Making Her Look Cheap. Nicole Blew The Model Off The Run Way So Hard I Heard Her Bones Crack. Nicole Like I Got This B*****! Kelly And Rhi Almost Had It They Out Did The Models But Only By An Inch. Jada Shoes Are Okay But They Not Working In Her Favor, They Make Her Look Like A Kid Playing In Her Momma Heels. Ashant Should Have Got The Dress In Blue, Black Is So Adams Family, The Dress Has Enough Happenig No Belt Needed, The Yellow Shoes Are Cute. And With That Said I Forgot To Say All Except Nicole, Jada Jacket, And Kelly Dress Is Ugly To Begin With.
1.Ashanti looks dumb, tacky and cheap as always!
2. Nicole murphy looks nice but i still think she has had numerous cosmetic procedures because her face never moves.
3. Jada looks okay
4. Rihanna looks okay….nothin special
5. Kelly always looks beatiful. Always was the prettiest member of DC3
6. J-Lo looks un-recognizable. She needs to lose that dammn baby weight. and that red lipsick just took her people back 100 years, she looks horrible. She looks like she’s about to go to a Quincinera!
Everyone looks ok except JLO.
Ashanti – Cute shoes, dress NO!
Nicole – Rocked the outfit, lose the hat!
Jada – Looks a bit messy but love the shoes
Kelly – I’ll give her a pass. Thought she had breast and/or butt implants, hmm, didn’t help this outfit!
JLo – That’s a no, no!
They all look good except for JLo (just because she looks so pale and washed out). She is usually fab, but we all have our “off” days. Women of color look good in certain colors because of our skin tone. I love to see sistas wearing red, yellow, or certain shades of purple. Be blessed!
I THOUGHT THE CELEBRITIES LOOKED BETTER THAN THE MODELS EXCEPT JENNIFER LOPEZ. SHE LOOKED KINDA FRUMPY. I LIKE THE VERSION ASHANTI HAD ON, BUT SHE DIDN’T LOOK RIGHT IN IT. KINDA FRUMPY TOO.

Ashanti’s dress is suppose to be HIGH fashion not ghetto fabulous. She’s too curvy for the dress. and the shoes don’t work either. I’m srry Ashanti, you failed this one.
Nicole did it best outta everyone!
I’m still debating Jada’s but I dig the jacket. I just think she’s coulda worn it with differen’t bottoms.
Rihanna’s dress is not that hott but I think I like it better on her than the model.
Ah i love the dress on Kelly! her skin tone compliments the dress like crazy!
Ugh Jen, why? you look old and really PALE!
I am sorry but I like thedress on the haute couture model! Not ashanti
And before anybody says they all use the same concepts, that isn’t true. Because they often write about the same people, most bloggers come up with different ways of presenting the clothes. But you know this if you frequent fashion blogs. Whatever. It’s just really lame to straight up steal a concept, slap it on your blog, and then use different people/images as if you’re trying to disguise the lift.
rihanna, kelly and murphy look fabulous
I like everyone except Jada. Ashanti’s shoes I don’t like, should’ve been strappy sandals. J-Lo’s dress is too tight.
Kelly, Rihanna,Jada and Nicole looked as nice or better than the runway. The dress Ashanti is wearing makes her look fat.
Oops! I forgot about JLo. That dress akes her look fat also.
To #9, they put her in short dresses and etc. because all she has is long legs. She has no body lol so she doesn’t really look good in form fitting clothes. So I don’t blame her because all she is is an image. (not referring to #9) Also Kelly and Jada look “okay” but I’ve seen better clothing. JLo’s dress looks right for her. She’s a damn mother and wife… what do you expect? Plus she’s on the set of her Elle shoot (they’re CLASSY). The dress may not do much for her figure but she’s married therefore she doesn’t need to compete and/or look like a video vixen hoe. She has everything she wants (job, family, love). Some of you should get on the “grown” look instead of running around looking like 80s baby rejects!
I think all the stars look great.
Rihanna looks great, so glad she doesn’t have to name her thighs stumpy and dumpy like some tree stump legged celebrity who wears lacefront weaves lol
@13 Rihanna do not have popeye’s chicken eatin thunder thighs like your idol beyonce. so just stop it.
Ashanti, eddie’s ex, jada all had to ruin these nice pieces. Ashanti needs to stop wearing belts on every outfit. she can get a corset if she is trying to reduce her waist. She just does not know how to dress properly. Jada switches up on us. I am not a fan of her style either.
Kelly, nicole,and rihanna….maybe jada,pulled off…kelly because they yellow looks greak against her skin and the dress is fitted against her body,nicole because she has the model body,same for rihanna, jada…she alllllmost pulled off but it just isnt age appropiate to me (just my opinion) or maybe not even that it just dont look like her style but she looks nice
ashanti-hell to the naw,and i’m ususally a fan of what she wears
j-lo ummmm no,it looks normal on her
I agree the stars look a lil better,they’re not all skinny as hell……
