2009 MTV Video Music Awards – Worst Dressed

by Profashionelle on September 14, 2009 · 0 comments

Amber Rose, Amanda Bynes, Beyoncé Knowles, Ashley Greene, Adrienne Bailon and Jennifer Lopez are the worst dressed at the MTV VMAs 2009

Amber RoseWTF? A python printed spandex jumpsuit? Really? Can you say attention whore?

Amanda BynesYawn.com OMG, Amanda Bynes must be the most predictable, unimiganitive starlet to roam the red carpet. I guess we will rather see the world go under than Amanda taking a risk or changing her dress code formula.

Beyoncé KnowlesToo Tight Beyoncé overuses the too tight, too sexy card. I’m starting to get extremely bored by all the almost non-existant clothes she’s been wearing lately. Sasha Fierce? Yeah, whatever.

Ashley GreeneColor Coordination Mishap Ashley Greene is a beautiful girl, but on this occasion she looks like a hillbilly going to prom. Black bustier, gold skirt, white clutch, printed shoes? Color harmony is burning in hell right now. Oh – and the hair does not fit either.

Adrienne BailonPyjama Party? Adrienne Bailon’s yellow printed longsleeve dress is seriously looking like something I own that I wear to bed. It would never come to my mind to wear such an atrocious, silly thing to a red carpet event. Even the kick-ass black Balmain buckle boots can’t save that dress disaster.

Jennifer LopezMaybe Next Time Jennifer Lopez’ red carpet style is always hit and miss for me. On this occasion she just can’t convince me in her tea rose Louis Vuitton strapless dress. The separate sleeves look ridiculous and the black Louboutins – though gorgeous alone – destroy the femininity of the ensemble.

FYI: I purposely did not put up Lady GaGa on this list because it’s pretty obvious that she didn’t dress to impress. The same cannot be said about the above listed celebrities.

Who was the worst dressed at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards?

Beyoncé Knowles, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, Bethenny Frankel and Teairra Mari wearing the same purple striped Hervé Léger sequin dress

Hervé Léger is a celebrity’s best friend. The body con bandage dresses seem to be especially popular with women who embrace their curves like Beyoncé or Kim Kardashian. However, there has been a massive overdisplay of Hervé Léger on the red carpet last year and now I kind of get bored by seeing celebrities in HL.

One of the few Hervé Léger dresses that still use to excite me nowadays is this purple striped sequin dress. And as you can see, Hollywood likes this dress as well.

Beyoncé Knowles was the one to rock it first back in December 2008 when she performed at the French version of Star Academy.

A few months later T.I.’s girlfriend Tameka Cottle alias “Tiny” sported the same Hervé Léger sequin dress at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Bethenny Frankel opted for the same dress at the “The Real Housewives of New York City” season 2 premiere party 3 days later.

Teairra Mari was the last to wear the sequinned dress at the 10th Annual Children Uniting Nations Academy Awards Gala.

The first was the best, Beyoncé’s got the body to pull off this dress and she’s the only one who doesn’t cheapen it.

Who wore Hervé Léger better?

66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009 – Best Dressed

by Profashionelle on January 12, 2009 · 0 comments

Olivia Wilde

Rating: ★★★★★

It was all about Olivia Wilde in her strapless lavender gown for me. She was nothing short of SPECTACULAR in that exquisite dress with a voluminous ruffled skirt and I adored the soft pastel color on her.

Even though 2009 has just begun, I am pretty sure this dress is going to be in my “Top 5 Dresses of 2009“.

Amy Adams

Rating: ★★★★★

Amy Adams was pure magic in her black strapless gown which had a voluminous skirt and leaf embellishments all over the dress. Amy opted for emerald green leaf-shaped earrings (♥ ♥ ♥) to complete her look.

It was a safe choice for Amy to wear this dress, but she looked SO, SO great in it, I couldn’t care less.

Anne Hathaway

Rating: ★★★★★

Anne Hathaway was almost equally stunning in her midnight blue strapless gown from the collection. The dress’s sparkling bodice was shining against Anne’s flawless alabaster skin and her stunning earrings got me gushing over her perfect ensemble.

Loved the red nail polish as well.

Laura Linney

Rating: ★★★★★

A striking Laura Linney outshined most of her younger colleagues on the red carpet in a yellow one-shouldered gown.

The asymmetrical dress was embellished at the waist and beautifully draped at the hips. I also loved Laura’s lovely leaf-shaped earrings (♥).

Kate Winslet

Rating: ★★★★½

Kate Winslet was my No.1 girl crush last night. She was such a stunner! I’m so glad she won both awards for “Best Supporting Actress” and “Best Actress“. Her acceptance speech was so touching, I had to dash away one or two tears of my own.

While I will admit that her black strapless Yves Saint Laurent isn’t the most exciting dress, I am convinced Kate carried it off with more elegance than everyone else who attended the Golden Globes last night. She has so much class. I ♥ you, Kate!

January Jones

Rating: ★★★★☆

January Jones channelled old Hollywood last night in her sky blue one-shouldered dress and blonde retro waves.

Her dress had pockets at the side and gold lining along the folds. Quintessential Versace and I absolutely LOVED it!

Eva Longoria

Rating: ★★★★☆

Eva Longoria turned heads in a dramatic red strapless Reem Acra gown which had a long mermaid hem and scalloped edging on the bodice. The Desperate Housewives star completed her look with silver jewelry (loooove the flower-shaped earrings) and a Daniel Swarovski clutch.

This type of dress is favored by Eva for big events such as the Golden Globes. Though being a slightly predictable choice, no one is going to blame Eva for looking so stunning in this red gown.

Rumer Willis

Rating: ★★★★☆

Miss Golden Globe 2009 Rumer Willis opted for an eggplant Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2009 strapless gown which she accessorized with a black jeweled belt and looked absolutely enchanting in it.

Salma Hayek

Rating: ★★★★☆

Salma Hayek sure knows how to dress her assets. The racy actress strut the red carpet in a figure-hugging ivory Bottega Veneta dress and accessorized with Boucheron jewelry and a grey Bottega Veneta woven box clutch.

Evan Rachel Wood

Rating: ★★★★☆

Evan Rachel Wood looked absolutely svelte in a sparkling black tiered gown which had a plunging neckline and floral appliqué at the waist.

A great look for Evan. Maybe next time we’ll get to see a little more color on her.

Jennifer Morrison

Jennifer Morrison in a blue Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall 2009 gown at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2009

Rating: ★★★★☆

Jennifer Morrison opted for some color on the red carpet and donned a cobalt blue strapless ruched dress. The actress completed her look with an elegant updo and beautiful matching Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

This dress was one of my favorites of Oscar De La Renta‘s Pre-Fall 2009 collection and it’s great to see someone like Jennifer pulling it off effortlessly.

America Ferrera

Rating: ★★★★☆

Kudos to America Ferrera for NOT wearing black. She was also one of the few who did not opt for floor-length gowns. Instead America went for an asymmetrical taupe knee-length dress from the collection which she accessorized with silver jewelry and matching peep-toe pumps. Gorgeous!

Mary-Louise Parker

Rating: ★★★★☆

Mary-Louise Parkerfelt blue” last night and opted for a cobalt blue strapless dress which had asymmetrical tiers cascading down from the bodice with a floaty chiffon train at the bottom. The actress completed her look with a Mary Norton clutch and Chopard jewelry.

I wasn’t too fond of the blue eyeshadow though.

Drew Barrymore

Rating: ★★★★☆

Drew Barrymore was delicate in her dusty blue John Galliano off-the-shoulder gown. Most people weren’t discussing her dress though, but her big messy hair. Personally I didn’t really like it, but apart from that Drew looked to good to not being on the “Best Dressed”-list. But I am still not sold on the red clutch, too.

Melissa George

Kate Beckinsale

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Kate Beckinsale is starting to annoy me with her really booooring dress choices. Yes, she looked great in that white strapless dress from J.Mendel (again!), but her dresses are all the same. Strapless, figure-hugging and often white. And those ruby red chandelier earrings didn’t do anything for me either. Start reading some fashion blogs, Kate!

Beyoncé Knowles

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Beyoncé Knowles in was also very predictable. The singer left her alter ego Sasha Fierce at home and turned to her old bling bling “Look, here I am!“-self with a faible for too-tight-to-stand-straight-in-it type of dresses. I liked her more when she tried the risky route (think Gareth Pugh).

Beyoncé’s necklace was to die for though, so she hits the last place on “Best Dressed“.

Celebrities wearing satin dresses in jewel colors

There is a distinct trend we’ve spied. A lot of the ladies in good ol’ Hollywood were storming the red carpets in beautiful satin gowns colored in the most fascinating jewel tones recently. Canary diamond, emerald green, ruby and sapphire – perfect shades for perfect red carpet moments.

In the picture above you can see a few of the celebs who were sporting the luxury look. Here’s what they were wearing:

  • Brittany Snow turned heads in this stunning canary yellow Catherine Malandrino Spring 2007 dress
  • Beyoncé squeezed herself in a stunning emerald green fishtail dress from the collection.
  • Rihanna was hot in pink showing massive cleavage in this racy strapless floor-length gown
  • Hayden Panettiere was wearing Roberto Cavalli and clear Louis Vuitton wedges

Here is our take on satin items colored in beautiful jewel tones. Beautiful, aren’t they? Need. Credit Card. NOW!

    Movies Rock 2007 – Celebrity Red Carpet Fashion

    by Profashionelle on December 5, 2007 · 0 comments

    Carrie Underwood

    Carrie Underwood - Movies Rock 2007

    Country singer Carrie Underwood was the lady in red at Condé Nast’s first annual Movies Rock event. She wore a grecian inspired red v-front gown by designer with a gold studded waist and matching golden accessoires. Stunning. Bold, but it definitely pays off.

    Beyoncé Knowles

    Beyoncé Knowles - Movies Rock 2007

    What a surprise! Beyoncé squeezed in a tight dress. I wish she would stop wearing dresses that are 2 sizes too small for her frame. Wearing clothes that aren’t your size actually make you look fatter than the other way round, don’t you see?

    Come on, B, we know you’re bootylicious and all, but you can barely stand straight in this dress.

    Don’t get me wrong: I like the dress (especially the color – emerald green), but the combination is a total no go.

    Jennifer Lopez

    Jennifer Lopez - Movies Rock 2007

    A very pregnant Jennifer Lopez was showing off her baby bump in a snow white one-shouldered dress from the collection. Gorgeous.

    Emmy Rossum

    Emmy Rossum - Movies Rock 2007

    Though I’m somewhat tired of seeing Emmy Rossum sporting pink dresses, this red carpet getup consisting of a modified dress from the Fall 2007 collection, a silver metallic clutch and peep-toes is totally working for Emmy.

    Now if she would sex it up from time to time. Emmy would’ve looked so sexy if the dress was red and not pink.

    Nicole Scherzinger

    Nicole Scherzinger - Movies Rock 2007

    Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger kept it sexy and classic in a black strapless bandeau dress and “Castillana” peep-toe pumps by Christian Louboutin. Yummy!

    Charlize Theron

    Charlize Theron - Movies Rock 2007

    Charlize Theron would probably still rock the red carpet if she was wearing a dirty potato-sack, but of course sporting this gorgeous white maxi dress is a plus making her looking all perfect.
