Ask LBS: White Lace Dresses

A recent wardrobe query came through my inbox that I thought would be helpful for those of you attending events this summer like summer cocktails, weddings and the like. The white trend is big this season, and lace is always a huge hit. 

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?

Paula Abdul - Fierce or Foolish?
