Black and Gold

One immediately spotted trend of the night was basic black getting kicked up a notch with bold, metallic gold accents. Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna, and Alicia Keys were all at the forefront of this look, with Rihanna and Alicia even wearing the same pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

BFF of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Gwyneth took to the Grammy stage wearing a black gown from Stella McCartney. The dress was accessorized with a wide gold belt.

Rihanna had all heads turning on the red carpet in a custom Giorgio Armani dress that she collaborated on with Armani himself, saying the designer was beginning to trust her design skills. She also said the inspiration for her look came from Michelle Pfeiffer’s character in the movie Scarface. She matched her new gold hair, with a gold clutch, and gold wrist cuff.

Alicia Keys also wore black and gold, accessorizing her black Alexandre Vauthier knee length dress with an oversized gold statement necklace. A stylish pompadour hairstyle and Christian Louboutin ‘Bis Un Bout’ clear PVC ankle-strap pumps completed her look.

MAG FEATURE: LAURIEANN GIBSON TALKS HAIR, STYLE & DANCE IN ‘BE’

Choreographer to the stars Laurieann Gibson is featured in a spread for BE magazine. In the beauty publication’s latest issue, the “Boom Kack” dancer reminisced on the Making the Band days, shared how her hair & style influence the beat of her step and who she thinks is a dancer with the best natural style:

On the impact of the Making the Band days on her career:
When Puff called me at the time I was trying to put together a dance DVD to get to the next level. He said, “If you want me to do that, you have to do this.” The only component was that it had to be a girl group. Even when I shot it, I didn’t even realize I was on TV. I was just making a Number 1 band. I was shocked. It was only later that I understood my gift. Then Danity Cane became Number 1. It was unfortunate when they imploded and the reality of “the biz” got to them.

On the influence of her style on her dancing:
They are synonymous. For me every morning when I wake up, my outfit will dictate my day… It completely dictates the outcome of your physical movement. The outside is the inside. It becomes the beat of your step. For me, when working with new artists, the way I come in, my swagger, dictates all of the opinion… my outfits reflect the emotion. I’m not someone who puts on an outfit and I’m nothing like it. Continue

TV BLURBS: MARIAH CAREY TO JOIN ‘X-FACTOR’ JUDGE PANEL / LAURIEANN GIBSON TO BRING DANCE SHOW TO BET / BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES PREVIEW

Well not exactly. Executive producer Simon Cowell has confirmed that Mariah Carey will officially be a part of the singing competition’s judging panel. The former American Idol judge shared that the mother-to-be will be participating in the live X-Factor shows some way or another:

“I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows,” Cowell confirmed to host Jackie Brown. “I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with. She’ll be involved in some form. I literally adore her. I love her to bits.” [Source]

That would definitely be a good look! In case you missed it, we interviewed Mr. Cowell a few weeks ago. Peep the interview here.

LaurieAnn Gibson Working on 2nd Reality TV Dance Show

Dancer/choreographer Laurieann Gibson is taking her boomkack dancing shoes and second TV show to another network. Although she just premiered her current reality TV show, Dance Scene the creative director is working on a new show – Born To Dance, a reality dance competition show that is set to debut on BET on August 2, 2011. The show follows the experience of 10 passionate and aspiring dancers as they work towards being a part of Gibson’s dance team. In an interview with Billboard.com, the Toronto-native had a bit to say about the meaning of her upcoming show:

“It’s a survival story of youth and how much they need real art,” Gibson says. “There’s real hope and inspiration there. We’re very conscious about not saying, ‘You’re fired.’ There’s so much rejection in the dance world. My show isn’t about winning a trophy and then being let go. We’re trying to find the one girl who can be a part of my team.”

Gibson has choreographed Lady Gaga’s upcoming music video for her single, “Judas”, which is set to drop any day now…
