WHO: Alicia Keys
WHERE & WHEN: 55th Grammy Awards on February 10, 2013.
WEARING: Azzedine Alaïa dress, Jimmy Choo shoes & Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Alicia Keys flaunted her curves on the Grammys red carpet in a Azzedine Alaïa shiny black leather crop top paired with a full-length wool-crepe skirt with a pleated hem.  While many could argue that she broke the issued dress code rules, I say she just stayed on the edge.  I actually loved this outfit on her.  Alicia complimented the style with black and diamond snake earrings with a matching ring by Lorraine Schwartz, before completing her look with a tightly swept up-do and shiny ruby lips.

She was one of my favorites of the night!

WHO: Rihanna
WHERE & WHEN: 55th Annual Grammy Awards on February 10, 2013.
WEARING: Azzedine Alaïa dress, Manolo Blahnik shoes & Neil Lane jewelry.

MY VERDICT: Rihanna looked red-hot in her custom Azzedine Alaïa gown!  Here I was expecting her to break out something really edgy that pushed the envelope, but I should know to never expect what she’s going to do—because she’ll do the opposite.  The “Stay” singer took a more glamorous approach to the Grammy red carpet in the gorgeous sheer paprika silk gown with paneling at the bodice.  I can tell that she made an attempt to stay within the dress code guidelines by covering up, but the fabric was still too thin at the bust and it left little to the imagination.  She coordinated her lipstick and nail polish with the color of her gown, before finishing the look with some beautiful cascading curls and kohl cat-eye liner to further intensify her bright eyes.

In my opinion, dress code violation or not, Riri was still one of the best dressed women of the night.

WHO: Alicia Keys
WHERE & WHEN: NFL Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans on February 3, 2013.
WEARING: Azzedine Alaïa dress, Marina B jewelry

MY VERDICT: Alicia looked beautiful in red when she took to her piano to perform at NFL Super Bowl XLVII. The “Girl On Fire” singer certainly fit the title of her song in a sleeveless wool crepe, full length body-hugging gown by Azzedine Alaïa, which featured a pleated accordion hem and a square neckline that allowed for Alicia’s necklace to stand out.

She wore a funky gold “Kar” collar from Marina B Jewelry. | continue reading..

WHO: Dakota Fanning
WHERE & WHEN: “Very Good Girls” 2013 Sundance Film Festival Premiere on January 22, 2013.
WEARING: Miu Miu top, Louis Vuitton skirt, Azzedine Alaïa shoes & Cartier jewelry.

MY VERDICT: It was so great to see Dakota back out on the red (err–brown) carpet!  We haven’t seen a lot of her at major events lately as she’s been going to school and filming movies, but she was able to make it out to Sundance this year to support her film “Very Good Girls” and wore a very good outfit.  I adore her navy ribbed crewneck Miu Miu crop top that she so wisely paired with a Louis Vuitton short black skirt with navy baroque embroidery, which comes from the brand spanking new Pre-Fall 2013 collection.

It’s such a pretty skirt, but the top, sheer black tights and mesh inset Azzedine Alaïa hidden platform booties definitely toughened it up to a cool youthful look with some edge.  | continue reading..

As if she didn’t get enough bold get-ups on the catwalk, Victoria’s Secret Angel Doutzen Kroes hit the pink carpet at the official after party for the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last night wearing a playful printed dress.

The 27-year-old Dutch model wore a Balmain strapless fit-and-flare mini from the Resort 2013 collection; a black and white dress featuring intense stripes, diamond and baroque patterns. | continue reading..

Rihanna celebrated her Halloween last night by sporting new longer locks when she hit the red carpet at the Greystone Manor Supperclub for the 012 West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval, where she was named this year’s “Carnaval Queen”!

The “Birthday Cake” singer kept it pretty tame for the one night where you can pretty much get away with wearing anything by selecting a knit Dolce & Gabbana dress. | continue reading..

Little surprises us when it comes to Lady Gaga’s extensive outlandish wardrobe, I mean, at this point — what won’t she wear? With the said, I was pleasantly surprised when the 26-year-old “Born This Way” singer hit the black carpet for the UK launch of her “FAME” fragrance at Harrods in London on Sunday.

Gaga arrived for the event looking very nice in a relativity simple black gown. She showed off her curves in a sleeveless wool floor-length dress from Azzedine Alaïa, which featured pin-tucking down the center and a pleated flutter hem. | continue reading..

Gwen Stefani was looking pretty fierce last week when she joined her band No Doubt for a press conference and photocall in London to support their latest album “Push and Shove” — which is IN STORES NOW!

The 42-year-old singer rocked her signature rebellious style in a black and metallic polka dot crop top from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Norma Kamali underneath a strong-shouldered black single-button blazer. Gwen partnered them with a cool pair of Y-3 trousers that billow above the knee and taper into a skinny leg the rest of the way with asymmetric zipper detail. | continue reading..

Nicole Kidman was on her game yesterday when she attended the launch of OMEGA House in London, England wearing a killer blue dress and even sexier heels.

The Australian actress rocked a sleeveless Azzedine Alaïa knit dress with a fabulous flared skirt which hit Nic perfectly mid thigh.

I love the rich color against her porcelain skin, but I really adore the edge she gave the feminine style with the pairing of these black floral, laser cutout, “Kahikalow” open toe ankle boots by Manolo Blahnik with lace-up closure. | continue reading..

Diane Kruger looked absolutely breathtaking when she attended at the special New York City screening of her new movie “Farewell, My Queen”, held at the Museum of Modern Art tonight.
