RiRi looking hot as usual for Terry Richardson!
Happy New Year! (A day late…)
Wishing everyone a very happy New Year! I can hardly believe its already 2012. Crazy, the Y2K felt like it was yesterday.
Happiness, health, success and love to all of you!

Lady Gaga was joined by Sugarland for a performance of “You & I” at the Grammy Nominations concert last night!
Pretty cool. I love how Sugarland likes to collaborate with people int he pop world. At least years ACM Awards Jennifer joined Rihanna for “California King Bed”.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala - FASHION!
Last night was The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala which honoured late & brilliant designer Alexander McQueen.
Let’s start by saying this, The Met is all about coming out in something different & something that makes people think. This is fashion. The Met isn’t another Oscars or Golden Globes, or at least I don’t see it that way.
Anyone who wore something safe, or tried to just be ‘pretty’ is on my shit list - and there were a lot of them.
(Usually, I’d comment on a lot of looks but as work is super busy, i’ll just be showing two of my favourites and two of my least favourites.)
Here are my two BEST looks of the night:
Ginnifer Goodwin
Firstly, the colour! The green is just beautiful. The haircut is perfect for her face & is styled just right along with the make-up. The hint of navy with the shoes (which are great) and the bag just help to set this look apart from the rest.
Christina Ricci
I’m probably going to get a bit of flack for picking Christina Ricci as one of my best dressed stars. You know what? She went out there and did something different, something very dramatic and it works.
She understands anyone can put on a classic shimmery dress and look pretty but she went outside the box. She looks like something straight out of a Tim Burton movie & I adored it.
The only thing I would have done different is the hair. It should have been dyed to match the dark in her dress.
HONERABLE MENTIONS:
Taylor Swift
Jennifer Lopez
Here are my two WORST looks of the night:
Rihanna
I’m usually all about Rihanna’s off the wall style, fashion choices and even her wigs & weaves. This just DOES NOT WORK.
The dress is boring. The make-up is too heavy and the hair, oh man that hair! It’s just unflattering, looks stupidly fake & makes this look a big mess. Rihanna, you rocked The Met a few years ago in your menswear inspired look, what happened.
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart has a great body, I wish she would show it off more.
This dress was not so bad from the back (if you haven’t seen it, google it!) but I just don’t love the design, pattern or cut from the front. I really want Kristen to get herself into fashion. She could have a long future ahead of her in Hollywood but this sulking, tired, old look isn’t going to help.
DISHONERABLE MENTIONS:
Beyonce
Christina Hendricks
Check out the commercial for Rihanna’s new perfume, Reb’l Fleur.
I think this idea’s already been done. She looks gorgeous and it’s shot beautifully, it’s just not terribly exciting.
Thoughts?
Check out Rihanna’s new video for her single “S&M”.
I’m not one who loves Rihanna’s music - but I do love her style & fashion risks.
I do however hate the fact she put Perez Hilton in her video.
What do you think of the video?
Rihanna feat. Drake - “What’s My Name”
When I first heard this song, I couldn’t help but laugh while eating Pho.
Then, I saw the video and now it’s stuck in my head, like an ear worm. Sometimes a video can make a song, what a cool vibe.
Rihanna - Rock Star
In the black-and-white video directed by Melina Matsoukis, Rihanna can be seen donning the signature top hat and long curly wig of her collaborator, Guns N’ Roses’ legendary guitarist Slash. Additionally, the 22-year-old singer is also seen rocking out with former Blink-182’s drummer Travis Barker.
Barker actually was not the only rocker Rihanna planned to feature in this video. The “Rude Boy” hitmaker has also invited Nikki Sixx, but the Motley Crue bassist declined to take part. He tweeted on April 8, “Rihanna just asked me to be in her video for ‘Rockstar’. I respectfully said no. What do you guys think?”
I must say, the song is a little boring, but she looks amazing, and for some reason I will always love Rihanna! So good work!
