RIHANNA Rocks 3 Different Looks for BRIT AWARDS Performances

rihanna brit performance 13

It's been just 2 days after the amazingly well-dressed Grammys (with the disappointing results, of course) and RIHANNA was already in London's O2 Arena receiving a Brit Award for Best International Female Artist!

These are the 3 looks she had on while performing; the middle dress is by Oscar de la Renta. It's a very beautiful gown. Rihanna always works up the crowd with her interesting and sensual looks that often lands her on any "Best Dressed" list. Werk it, RIHANNA.

 Rihanna tweeted:
“Came wit a Grammy, left wit a Brit!!! Yea, I’m feelin myself a lil bit rt now, lol! UK massive stand up! I love u #weLOUD.”

Rihanna 2011 BRIT Awards

This tropical look is so HOTT! A very good play on colors. It's very bright, but surprisingly easy on the eyes. The red hair is incorporated very well into the outfit... it seems to tone down any LOUDNESS the dress might give off to some people.

Despite BEY & JAY Separation Rumors, Beyonce is looking MADD HOTT in those shoes!!

DRAMA!!!! BEYONCE SPENDS VALENTINES DAY . . . WITH SOLANGE, KELLY, AND MICHELLE . . . OH . .  AND SHE IS NOT WEARING HER WEDDING RING!!! (PICS)

Beyonce is working hard on releasing an album this year, and while she's doing that, rumors are flying around that Bey and Jay are separating. I'm not even gettin' into this 'cuz these rumors mean...

OMG Beyonce, what sexy Louboutins you have!

Those things definitely caught my eyes and it definitely stood out from the all black ensemble she was wearing (Is it just me or does the top half of Beyonce look like Lady GaGa, minus the butt in above pic?)

Sneaker of the Day: PUMA x UNDEFEATED CLYDE

PUMA x Undefeated Clydes

This is a nice classic that I found on Highsnobiety, it's a revival of the old Clyde sneakers. PUMA did a great job, from what I see, redesigning the sneakers by keeping the soles but removing the PUMA designs from the top end of the sneakers and just infusing as much of the Clyde influence as possible.

This is a project that is reportedly will be ongoing for years, so this phase of colors (black, dark green, gray, white) will drop on April 10, 2011.


The Suave CRISTIANO RONALDO In Head-to-Toe Gucci


Soccer star CRISTIANO RONALDO was looking on-point today, very sharp, and you can't tell me any different. If it's any different, it would be better adjectives than I have. He was spotted in the area of David Letterman's "LATE SHOW" dressed in Gucci, his favorite label.

The brown bomber leather jacket, by Gucci, is for $3,775. The belt is quite popular along fashionistas, celebs, and just anybody who wants to cop one. It's for $295. Last but not least is the crocodile trim Gucci sneakers for $675. I posted about these sneakers a couple of weeks ago.



This is a very nice look on Cristiano. I mean, I knew he was cool like that... but I ain't never seen him in this way. He's like David Beckham in a way... but in all his own ISH.

Those who criticized...wouldn't know style if it hit them in the nose.
Sure, it may be one too many Gucci items, but I can tell you that there's nothin' wrong with the pieces.

CHRIS BROWN's Very Artistic 2011 Album Cover: F.A.M.E.


CHRIS BROWN should have been at the Grammys yesterday; this whole Rihanna thing is keeping him away. Word on the street is that Rihanna is asking the judge to bring Chris's restraining order to a Level One.

But anyway, check out Chris's newest album cover for the album "F.A.M.E." that will drop March 22nd. I'm a big fan of interesting street art. This album cover could become an instant street art classic. I like the colors and the charcoal and chalk drawing of Chris Brown. The intricate details of the artist(s) who designed the album cover had to be extremely talented. I like how there are mini pics of Chris made up into borders, kind of telling a story.

I give it TWO THUMBS UP.
See pic of Chris Brown's tattoos that include the name "F.A.M.E."

So many people were beautiful, and so many people were beastly. Hence, my post is called "Beauty and the Beast." I wonder if the worst dressed dress like this on purpose; they probably do, summing up the idea that they'll get attention either way... 

I'll just post just a few pics to keep stirring the pot on the craze of Grammys fashion.

 ...And the BEAST...

JADEN SMITH's Hott Look w/ Justin Bieber and Usher At 2011 Grammys


I have to give a FIST BUMP to Jaden Smith for performing with Justin Bieber and Usher, lookin' all swagg-ful in cornrows and RISQUE LEOPARD PANTS. I'm tellin' you, leopard is the STYLE for men of this year. It's not for me but maybe I'll try a teeny-tiny leopard piece. See more JADEN SMITH PICS and the performance from the 2011 Grammys below:


Lady Gaga and Jaden - she actually hugged and kissed him!



Dat's HOTT...

OMARION: Nice Clothing Pieces, Subpar Execution Into An Outfit

What could have made Omarion look better? Change sweater and shirt color to BLACK, keep the
bowtie, smaller neck jewelry, acne medicine. VOILA!!!!!

Despite what some people thought about Omarion's outfit at the pre-Grammy and the Afterparty as being 'horrible,' 'eye-gouging,' and other quite derogatory words, I do have to give OMARION credit for at least picking out nice individual pieces, like these below that he wore. The Fendi belt is for $410 and the Christian Louboutin Rantus Orlato for $695.
But the execution in putting these pieces all together seemed to ruin the whole look. Simply put: LESS IS MORE. Whenever anyone tries to put on too many colors and try to look flashy, the actual look is 'TACKY,' which was how Omarion looked. Omarion could have done away by wearing more darker pieces (preferably black), allowing JUST THE TWO BELOW PIECES to 'bling' through.

Whenever you have a colorful accessory, NEVER add more than one more colorful piece to your look.

USHER and OMARION Spot-On/Just My Style At Grammys After-Party


Perfect. Bravo!! Bravo!! There's nothing I would change about Usher's outfit. The 2 Grammys he picked up were a nice touch, as well. The 'OMG' singer did an excellent job with his mentee Justin Bieber and friend Jaden Smith at the Grammys last night.

The one thing about Usher's outfit that caught my eyes were his Vivienne Westwood Seditionary boots for $673. I can really say OMG! I. LOVE. THEM. PERIOD.


It takes a fashionista eye to recognize the sheer uniqueness and high caliber of class these boots have. OHHHH... these belong in the Smithsonian *LoL*

Check out more pics, and check out OMARION below with a colorful Fendi belt for $410. He also had Christian Louboutin Rantus Orlato sneakers for $695 (More pics to come) I liked that, too. He's coming into his own pretty good. *Fist bump to Omarion*
