Fierce or Foolish: Kerry Washington at Django Unchained Premiere

I recently ran across this picture of Kerry Washington at the Django Unchained premiere red carpet. She rocked an Altuzzura top and a floral J Mendel skirt from their Resort 2013 collection.

She finished off the look with a simple pair of black platform pumps.

For beauty, she rocked slicked back pony with a side-swept bang, her signature smokey eye and an orangey-red lip.

Thoughts on her look? I love the leather bustier top and the skirt but I would've liked to see lighter heels. Like a swarovski-encrusted strappy stilleto or an ankle wrap moment. I also think a cocktail ring or statement bracelet was in order. Other than that, love the look!

Thoughts? Fierce or Foolish?

Fierce or Foolish: Ashanti at Red Carpet Premiere

 Ashanti showed up to the premiere of "Tourist" last night donning a fur stole, full leather ensemble and snakeskin stilettos. Hmm, I'm not a fan. I might have to give this one a foolish. What do you guys think?

Fierce or Foolish: Jennifer Lopez in Lanvin

J.Lo showed up to the London premiere of "The Backup Plan" in this ensemble the other day. At first glance, I thought it was absolutely foolish. I though it looked like a garbage bag cinched at the waist. But  upon closer inspection, I began to appreciate the intricacy that went into the entire look...

I think her makeup looks amazing, and her statement necklace is on point. But this dress...I'm sorry but I vote foolish. I was also a little weary of this beehive on top of her head...

What do you guys think of J.Lo's look? Fierce or Foolish?

AFI Fest 2009 "Precious Screening"

This past weekend, the AFI Fest 2009 held a private screening of the new Tyler Perry film "Precious" based off the novel "PUSH" by Sapphire. There were some notable fashions of course.

Couples of the night:

Mariah looked absolutely stunning in this floor-length black gown. The neckline and silhouette are SOOOO flattering - love it! And Nick looks ok too...

Paula Patton's dress accentuates her great firgure so it's a definite win. Love the piping up top. And Robin Thicke just always looks great. That's my boo!

LOVE Mo'Nique's make-up and how it compliments her dress. She's glowing inside and out, it seems. Ran into her at the BET offices last month and she looked absolutely AMAZING. She walked up to me like "How you doing, sister?" And of course all I could do was smile. Simply beautiful.

On to the some [single] ladies:

Garcelle Beauvais looks ravishing yet age-appropriate in this great red one-shoulder dress. It seems red on the red carpet is no longer a fashion faux-pas. I see it all the time now!

Is it me or does something seem off about this outfit? Leather high-waisted pants - ok that could rock with maybe a different top and a few key accessories. But a leather-piped blazer and silk shirt is a bit too much for me. What do you guys think?

Movie Premiere Fashions: Good Hair & Law-Abiding Citizen

There have been a number of notable movie premieres over the past week including Good Hair (which I cannot wait to see tomorrow!) and Law-Abiding Citizen. Along with notable movie premieres come notable celebrity fashions. Here are a few of my faves:

Nia Long, Good Hair Premiere

I thought Nia's hair and makeup were amazing. She was actually glowing. I need to find somebody to teach me how to do this for myself!

And I loved her sparkly blouse, appropriately paired with shorts...very cute.

Eve, Good Hair premiere

I haven't seen Eve out in a while so I was pleasantly surprised to see her in some pics. Although I love the embroidery on this piece, I hate how drab the color is. I would've loved to see the same style in a brighter color or at least a glossier material.

Raven Simone, Good Hair Premiere

Considering Raven's previous fashion choices, I am VERY proud of her for this. She picked a flattering color and cut and she looks trendy.

Melyssa Ford, Good Hair Premiere

I love the color and the cut of this dress. The side draping makes it elegant but still sexy and body-conscious. I think I could've done without the chunky belt though. It takes away from the construction of the dress. I might've opted for a short necklace instead.

Gabrielle Union, Good Hair Premiere

As beautiful as Gabrielle Union is, I was slightly disappointed with her ensenble. Its kinda...regular. I think the jacket is cute. I think the dress is cute too. I think they would've been better off worn separately. That printed dress under there is screaming to be worn alone.

No complaints on the following ensembles from the LawAbiding Citizine Premiere:

Sanaa Lathan, Law-Abiding Citizen Premiere

I really admire the monochramatic look when it's done right. This ensemble looks flawless on Sanaa. Again we see the body-conscious draping in Sanaa's skirt. I like the bell sleeves on her top also.

Regina Hall, Law Abiding Citizen Premiere

I couldn't pull of this micr-mini dress but she looks great in it. I like that it's flapper style without being over the top.

Eva Marcille, Law Abiding Citizen Premiere

Eva is right on trend with these pieces! The military jacket is so unconventional. I love how she's rocking the neutral color when everyone usually flocks to black and navy blue for their military look. And i NEED those over-the-knee WEDGE boots in my life. LOVE!
