WHO ROCK’D IT BETTER: ASHANTI vs. CHRISSY TEIGEN in A.L.C.

ashanti-chrissy-a-l-c

Spring is quickly turning into summer, and one of the first trends in celebrity fashion to emerge out of the season, is the popularity of the color mint. Jeans, blouses, shoes — the color is everywhere right now, and two ladies who agree with the color trend are Ashanti, and Chrissy Teigen, the model girlfriend of John Legend.

Both ladies were seen wearing a mint colored ‘Zoe’ blazer from A.L.C. and they each had their own unique take on the look. Ashanti paired her blazer with shades, a pink shirt, Rag & Bone denim leggings, and nude patent leather Christian Louboutin ‘Highness’ platform pumps.

Chrissy went for a more minimal look, pairing her blazer with a basic white tee, skinny black pants, a black leather bag, and black and gold sandals.

You can get Ashanti and Chrissy’s A.L.C. ‘Zoe’ blazer from Forward for $695, or you can try this similar option from The Limited for $82.60. The question though, is who rock’d it better?

FASHION ROUNDUP: 2012 METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA

Don’t call it a comeback. Since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, Beyoncé’s style has been more relaxed and casual than what we were used to seeing from her pre-baby. At this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, aka the MET Gala, Sasha Fierce was in full diva effect.

Beyoncé walked the red carpet in a Givenchy Haute Couture feather hemmed gown. The highly detailed dress featured a sheer beaded lace overlay, and the aforementioned feather hemline that transitioned in color from an inky black to a deep violet.

As intricate and dramatic Beyoncé’s MET Gala look was, little sis Solange opted for a far more minimal look that was equally as stunning. The singer/actress/DJ, who’s always at the forefront of what’s hot in fashion, donned a yellow strapless Rachel Roy dress that was as simple as it was statement making.

Her gown featured a small train and a very on trend peplum. Solange accessorized with Sergio Rossi heels, a gold-beaded Edie Parker ‘Flavia’ clutch, and a head full of curls… Continue

FASHION ROUNDUP: 2012 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER

Michelle Obama is arguably the most stylish First Lady the White House has seen since Jackie Kennedy, and as such she’s made many a best dressed list. She’s no stranger to putting together a fabulous, but I have to say this is hands down my favorite Michelle Obama look we’ve seen so far.

At the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Mrs. O had everything perfectly styled. Her hair, makeup, and gorgeous Naeem Khan Fall 2011 gown come together to create quite the fetching look.

Kerry Washington is a celeb who’s considered one of Hollywood’s fashion elite. She’s known for her impeccable sense of style and for bringing an air of sophistication to any outfit she dons, sophistication that definitely wasn’t lacking in her Correspondents’ Dinner look.

Kerry opted to go minimal, yet timeless in a coral Calvin Klein long-sleeved dress, soft makeup, and a simple ponytail to complete her look. She accessorized with Dean Harris earrings, and a Roger Vivier snakeskin clutch.

WHAT THEY ROCK’D: BEYONCE / TIA MOWRY / USHER / VICTOR CRUZ

Just when we notice Beyoncé and her love for her favorite pair of Linda Farrow for The Row round frame shades, she goes and switches it up on us, taking to the streets of NYC wearing a pair of Roberto Cavalli ‘Cat’s Eye’ sunglasses. She kept up the animal print theme, matching her glasses with a pair of Charlotte Olympia ‘Kitty’ leopard flats.

If you prefer Bey’s leopard frames to her round Linda Farrow ones, get the Cavalli lenses from Nordstrom for $430. Or you could try this near identical pair from ASOS that cost only $22Continue
