NEWS: Destiny's Child Releases New Album

Ok so I don't usually do this but umm....Destiny's Child is back y'all! I never really post about music news on LoveBrownSugar but I couldn't hardly contain my excitement. Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams are joining forces once again to produce new music!

When I saw Beyonce's Facebook page announce that for the first time in 8 years, the group that made her would be releasing new music, I nearly fell out Baptist-church style. I tootsie rolled. I raised the roof. I did the butterfly. It was a moment. See screenshot below:

I've been a dedicated Destiny's Child fan since childhood. I grew up on their music. As in, as a Junior High School kid I skipped class to head to the FYE store in midtown NYC for their "Survivor" album signing. Waited on line for 7 hours and then proceeded to cry when Beyonce shook my hand. Yeah, that dedicated...

The album is set for release on January 29th, 2013. It's available now for pre-order at Amazon HERE. The album's title is "Love Songs".

I mean, I can't wait. I'm still tootsie-rolling. 

Is anyone else a DC Fan like myself? Will you be ordering?

Little Black Dresses & More at Kelly Rowland Album Release

Last night at the Standard Hotel, Kelly Rowland celebrated her album release for her newly released project Here I Am.  Kelly and her Destiny's Child former bandmates Beyonce and Michelle Williams showed up decked in little black outfits for the Moet-sponsored event. Kelly wore a Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2011 cutout dress with metallic platforms.

Queen Bey was in attendance as well in a belted Lanvin jumper.

Michelle Williams went a little more conservative in a tailored v-neck little black dress with Louboutin studded heels.

Overall, Kelly Rowland has my vote for best dressed. She looked stunning!

Her makeup was gorge as well! Love the blue liner under the eye, it gives her look such a nice pop of color.

It-girl Tika Sumpter was in the building as well, breaking away from the "little black dress" mold in a firey hot pink Myne LA dress!

Which look was your fave? Soundoff below!

Fashion Countdown: 83rd Annual Oscar Awards

 You guys have heard it all before, and if you follow me on Twitter you probably already know who my fashion faves were from the Oscars. Just in case you don't, here they are! My top 10 best & worst from the 83rd Annual Academy Awards red carpet...

LoveBrownSugar Fashion Countdown: Tony Awards

The Tony Awards premiered last night on CBS and above hearing my favorite actor's name being called for Best Actor (Denzel Washington won a Tony for "Fences"), I thoroughly enjoyed the red carpet moments. Here's a countdown with a few of my favorites -  chime in if you agree/disagree!

6. Lucy Liu

Although I'm absolutely in love with this Marchesa gown, I'm not sure this was the best pick for Lucy. The fabric, the shape and the draping make for an incredible gown. However, I think the light color washes her out a bit...

5. Paula Abdul

I must say, I'm normally disappointed by Paula Abdul's outfit choices but I do think this one in particular worked for her. The mermaid silhouette looks great on her dancer's body and I love the intricate detailing that went into the train. It almost looks like one of those convertible pieces that can be ripped off at the bottom convert to a cocktail piece.

4. Michelle Williams

Michelle rocked out with all black everything for the Tony Awards. Normally, I would say this was a snoozer because of the simple silhouette but I do love the high slits and the fact that it has a train. And those shoes are POW! Diamonds are forever, clearly. I still need to make it over to Broadway and catch her in her recurring role in Chicago. Sooner or later...

3. Lea Michelle

I absolutely love the color on this piece. Lea Michelle rocked this Zac Posen to the tee. Excellent lip color choice as the red clearly compliments the banana-colored yellow in the gown. It's so refreshing and elegant to see starlets rock a strapless piece with a well placed updo or chignon. Love!

2. Jada Pinkett

So maybe I'm a little biased. She's one of my favorite leading ladies in Hollywood and I just spent my Saturday and Sunday nights watching her offspring on the big screen. (Sidenote: I loved the Karate Kid remake with her son Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan - it was awesome hence why I went to see it twice) I thought she looked stunning in this red mini Marchesa gown. The signature pleats and the rich color had me at hello.

1. Scarlett Johansonn

 Not only is this girl a knockout, she's always at the top of my best dressed list! It was love at first sight with this sparkly Elie Saab number fit for Emeral City. From the sparkle, to the rich color and the double-strapped construction, this look was ON POINT! And the hair and makeup definitely take it there. 

What do you guys think of my Top 6? Any celebs I miss? Soundoff below!
