Brandy attended the premiere of the Michael Jackson ‘The Immortal’ World Tour decked out in her finest spring gear, including a $1,300 sheer silk blouse from Burberry. Featuring leather epaulettes, the shirt’s high-end price tag probably has something to do with the hand-threaded wood beads found at its shoulder.
Burberry offers a lower priced epaulette detailed shirt sans the silk, and sans the wooden beads for $275. Or try this even better priced $40 convertible military pocket shirt from Express.
Actress Meagan Good premiered her new film Dysfunctional Friends, and she brought the glam factor to the event catching all eyes in a red jersey BCBG dress. The long sleeved, v-neck frock featured figure flattering draping at the hips, and a keyhole opening at the back. It’s a perfect date night ensemble, cocktail dress, or party look.
Get Meagan’s dress from Felice Fabric for $138, or get the same look with this $80 Lauren by Ralph Lauren dress available at Dillard’s.
