I’m not gonna focus on the best and worst because you can find that anywhere and half the time those sites are wrong! (#theworldaccordingtokazzle anyways) So forget about Sandra Bullock’s horrendous dress or Angelina Jolie’s spaghetti arms, let’s just focus on the Red Carpet looks that gave us life!

J. Lo looked STUNNING in Zuhair Murad. Who else is looking this good in their 40’s?

Rooney Mara is already a classic. Her style is signature - structured garments, bare of accessories, and a red lip. I love her in Givenchy.

Rose Bryne is the definition of sexy chic in this black sequin Vivienne Westwood number.

Rose’s Bridesmaid co-star, Ellie Kemper also shined Oscar night in this Armani Prive dress. I love how it matches her hair — it works so well!

Another sparkle favorite is Kelly Osbourne in Badgley Mischka. I’m feeling that purple hair. The whole look is so youthful, fun, and trendy!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Michelle Williams is a classic beauty in this coral Louis Vuitton dress.

Milla Jovovich is EVERYTHING that is Hollywood glamour. Only Elie Saab of course!

Clooney’s latest smash  Stacy Keibler looked like the Oscar trophy in this gorgeous Marchesa dress. What sold me was the rose at the hip!

Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji. This dress truly complements her figure. She’s been faithful to Tadashi all award season and we see why! Find what works and stick with it!

Gwyneth Paltrow just slays them. Without any effort, she just slays. No sequin, no ruffles, nope. Just a simple white Tom Ford dress with a cape, clean makeup and she still slays them all. The QUEEN of effortless chic!

Here a few beauty looks that caught the eye:

Penelope Cruz looked so charming. The classic hair, light makeup, and beautiful jewels made her look like the ultimate movie star.

Loved Viola Davis’ natural hair! The brown hair color almost blends into her skin making her glow even more!

Diddy looked good too. I loved his hair!

E! spoke with celebrity stylists and some fresh faced starlets for their insight of what was on the Red Carpet. FYI: I only care what the professionals thought — they kept it real. Celebrity stylist, Jessica Paster was right on point with her review of Melissa McCarthy’s ensemble. It’s not flattering to her figure. There’s just too much fabric.

I’m gonna say it: People who said she looked nice only said so for empathy, because she is the “big girl”. They did the same with Gabourey Sidibe when she was the mega star and wore unflattering dresses. Fashion should be fair and square! 

Oh and can we talk about….

LMAO!!

You know what’s better than the Golden Globes award show? The Red Carpet show….and Housewives of Atlanta…and Kourtney and Kim Take NY. The stars wowed everyone with elegant gowns, classic makeup looks, and simple and beautiful hairdos. I truly can not name anyone (worth mentioning anyways) who looked completely horrible. There were some questionable looks, yes, but overall it was a beautiful Red Carpet. Let’s break em’ down:

Belles of the Ball

Angelina Jolie does it in Atelier Versace

Claire Danes in J Mendel

Charlize Theron in Dior…of course!

Dianna Agron in Giles

Emma Stone in Lanvin

Lea Michele knows you live for her! Gagging you in Marchesa (she’s been quite a Marchesa girl now hasn’t she?)

Maria Menounos  is giving everything in the bright yellow bodycon! Love it!

Currently swooning over Michelle Williams (just saw My Week with Marilyn). She looks super adorable in Jason Wu

YES MAM! Sofia Vergara shows off her coveted curves in Vera Wang.

Tilda Swinton can do no wrong. She will not follow the trend or crowd and you will love it. You are now loving her in Haider Ackermann. 

Jane Fonda is a bad B. 74? Are you even looking like this at 24? 

“Memorable” Looks

You can’t review Madge, you just can’t! This Reem Arcra dress is indeed memorable. Very grunge. I see sparkle garbage can, but that’s just me. 

Missi Pyle in this yellow dress….hmm. I hated it at first but now I think she looks like a cute chickadee! 

This Gucci dress is AMAZING but not so much on Salma Hayek. Of course she’s still hot but nothing fits her better than body hugging gowns. She’s a bit too busty for this. With such a small waist she looks like she would topple over!

Sarah, where is your Prinze to save you? This Monique Lhuillier dress is so pretty but not for you! It’s a bit much for the red carpet. The color also does not compliment her skin tone. It’s not terrible but it could’ve been better. 

In the Nude

Flesh tones and pale pinks seemed to be the trend last night!

Elle Macpherson in Zac Posen

Giuliana Rancic in Basil Soda

Jessica Biel in Elie Saab

Mary J. Blige in Michael Kors

Fine Men 

Ricky Gervais dressed in dark red — all he needed were horns.

Jason Stackhouse Ryan Kwanten wore a velvet suit. You gotta love a man who tries to step outside the norm!

Last night was one of the most amazing nights I’ve had in a while! I attended an exclusive showing of the latest collections from Alexander McQueen and furniture designer, Barlas Baylar of Hudson Furniture. What’s funny is I just learned about the furniture designer about a couple weeks ago when I spotted his signature chandeliers in a boutique. What are the odds that I would be attending his swanky soiree only soon after! 

It was rainy last night yet the the evening was lovely. My friend and I were greeted with a glass of wine and bruschetta — yes I was so ready. **Note - Key to my heart is fashion, food, and liquor. The event was held at both designer’s meatpacking showrooms — Alexander Mcqueen downstairs and Hudson Furniture store upstairs (this is where the new collection was held). Naturally, we began our night downstairs at the McQueen store. The fashion was drop dead amazing of course. It was my first time viewing the Fall/winter collection up close. It was EVERYTHING.

I entered a raffle for this clutch. I need it.

So as we are making our way upstairs, LIFE was given. Kelly Cut-Throat Cutrone, my spiritual mentor, my business guru, my motha, my love passes me and by then I’m already a bit buzzed so confidence came out and I say “HEY KELLY!”. She  was super cool and said “Hey kids!”. From there I decided that this woman will be my friend by the end of the night. Stay tuned for the ending of this story.

Anyway I go upstairs and view the amazing McQueen Resort 2012 collection and Barlas Baylar’s lastest collection. It was all I wanted and more. 

So I see Kelly Cutrone again and this time she comes to me! When I say a third of my LIFE was given…If Beyonce would have came in next I wouldn’t be here ya’ll. Because my life would have been complete. Anywho, Kelly and I were really talking it up. She’s so amazing! I didn’t take a pic with her because the conversation was going so well I didn’t want to turn into a fan — I told you guys I’m trying to be here friend! LISTEN.

THEN she says Willow Smith was in the building. So of course I found her.

She is soooo adorable!

Other faces I saw was Rosci Diaz and Sherlen Archibald. 

The night was full of fashion, fun, drinks, and surprises! I definitely didn’t know what was in store that day.  I hope you all enjoyed my story and the flicks!

For a more refined cover of this story, read my firstVIEW article!

You can hate and say they are famous for nothing but these sisters are predicted to become billionaires by next year! Yeah, get in.

-The Kardashian Kollection at Sears will bring in between $200 to $300 million in its 1st year, and they’re expanding

-Kardashian perfumes bring in about $50 million per year, and they’re coming out with more!

-Other profitable business include K-Dash QVC clothing line, Kim’s Belle Noel jewelry collection, Australian handbag line, and a nail polish line with OPI, which will launch on Black Friday 

[via PerezHilton]

That’s only a few of their many businesses! I have to say I have a high level of respect for the Kardashians. Sure, Kim K made her debut in not the most dignified way but she took something terrible and turned it into something wonderful. The way I see it is, hey if people are gonna sit and point and talk about you you might as well give them something to talk about, and watch, and buy. When life gives ya lemons….

I am happy for the Kardashian fam! On their way to wealth! 

Let this be a lesson: Ex-boyfriends,  videotapes, E!, and big asses can change lives. 

I broke it down to the Good, the Bad, and the ugly because that’s the best way I could describe what was on that carpet. Fortunately there was more good than anything else. Let’s get into it!

The Good

Selena Gomez had everyone going bonkers over this lacey black dress! If anyone knows the designer of this dress let me know ASAP!

Justina Bieber looked amazing. She has so much funk and swag, check the shoes!

Beyonce surprised everyone when she revealed her adorable baby bump! She wore a red Lanvin caftan dress. 

Zoe Saldana looked effortlessly sexy in this Barbar Bui dress.

Katy Perry looked absolutely adorable wearing an Asian inspired Atelier Versace dress.

Kelly Rowland gets better and better each appearance! Loving this look.

Unlike her female co-stars, Jersey Shore’s Sammi looked stunning!

Adele looks classic in Barbara Tfank.

Tyga always reminds me of that flashy uncle that everyone has, the one that smells like 3 different types of cologne and always got a pinky ring on. He looked fab though!

Kat Deluna looked so cute for her first VMA. She’s wearing a dress from designer (and dear friend of mine :-]) Jose Duran.

The Bad

There is nothing right about a man wearing a bedazzled sweater. Was not feeling this look Neyo.

Miley Cyrus just never gets it right. She looks 15+ years her age in this Roberto Cavalli dress.

Jojo would’ve looked great in this Marco Marco dress if the sides of the dress weren’t so big. 

Britney Spears just doesn’t put effort in anymore. 

The Ugly (Not for the faint of heart)

Deena looked TACKY. If tacky had a symbol, this would be it. She looked like Rainbow Brite gone wrong! And if you look closely, you will see she even had neon green eye contacts. Ugh! 

Snooki looks like a Las Vegas casino tramp. I know that was harsh, but that’s the only way I could describe it.

Man…I really think Sammi was the Cinderella of the night and the other Jersey Shore girls were the ugly stepsisters. JWoWW looked like a drag mother with that makeup and dress.

Nicki Minaj’s Harajuki inspired outfit looked like an explosion of anime, candy, and bad choices. 

This girl bothers me.  Kreyshawn was giving you hood couture wearing your local gift shop’s Looney Tunes dress and a synthetic wig. Girl, goodbye.

Get more life and giggles from a special Sincerely A Bitch review done by moi!  :-)

Pre-Show

The Jersey Shore got another check

The cast did Black Carpet Interviews wearing the finest garments! 

Justina Beiber and her girlfriend get freaky

That snake conversation made me feel very uncomfortable.

Tyler the Creator, America. America, Tyler the Creator. Yes this is your kids’ role model…

Beyonce is PREGNANT

The Show

Lady Gaga

Unfortunately Lady Gaga could not attend last night’s VMAs :-(. So she got her special friend “Jo Calderone” to perform and accept her awards on behalf of her (-_-). “Jo” did an amazing performance nonetheless. She, err he, is truly one of the most creative spirits I’ve ever come across. The theatrics were not weird to me, it was ingenious! Way to really get into character!

Otis

The inventors of swag, Kanye and Jay-Z hit the stage for a surprise performance of Otis. The stage had flames, lights, and….stage crashers? Did anyone catch the two guys who ran up on stage? Ha! Hilarious. The performance was dopelicious, swagalicious, and all that good stuff.

Chris Brown

Chris Brown lip-synched. Yes, I know he was doing crazy, fast-paced dances but he still lip-synched. Not even to a live performance recording but to his album track! #shameonyou

Jessie J

Jessie J had a minor disability last night but she said “eff that! I am gonna perform, I am gonna slay these covers, I am gonna teach you my songs, and you will listen and you will love”. #YASS! She performed from that chair with her crutches and all way better than some of these artists who can actually move their legs on the stage.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears was majorly hyped up in the promos of the award show. I so thought she would perform. Wouldn’t that make sense? Anywho, as she does best nowadays, she sat down with a confused look on her face. She received a rushed tribute done by children in women’s lingerie costumes, got hit on by Jo Calderone, and recited her heartfelt, grateful, thank you speech….from a teleprompter.  And that’s not all the woman of the hour did. This honoree and Jo Calderone presented a true tribute to the next performer, BEYONCE. MTV def went to the nearest public school and gathered those performers for a speedy tribute to make room for Queen B (a last minute addition to the show). Now that’s power.

Beyonce

Beyonce wanted us “to feel the love growing inside of her” (her words!). It was an amazing LIVE (Rih Rih, Britney, and now CHRIS, take note!) performance. Beyonce is now 2 people and she still has enough breath to sing live. She performed one of my favorite songs, “Love on Top”. At the end she revealed her growing belly and Jay and Kanye went crazy! It was a beautiful sight; you could just feel their joy!

Lil Wayne

Little Wayne hopped around the stage wearing leggings. Yeah, that’s all.

The stars must be aligned! Our favorite music divas have been gracing the pages of magazines rocking amazing celestial prints (courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana).

Beyonce shines on the cover of Instyle’s September issue wearing this stunning Dolce & Gabbana star studded dress. It’s glam, bam, sexy, and sassy! Who else but Bey?

Beyonce’s BFF Kelly Rowland has also been quite the star spangled diva. Ms. Rowland is featured in the latest issue of Grazia wearing another Dolce & Gabbana dress. (Man, D&G dresses em’ as they see em’…like stars!)

Lily Allen gets uber sexy on the cover of Elle UK’s August Issue. The LDN rocker twinkles in this Dolce & Gabbana lace-cutout star dress!

Sidenote…seems as if the D&G star power is also spreading off the pages…

Fergie Ferg looks adorable at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards!

Starrylicious!

Swarovski Award for Menswear winner Robert Geller, Swarovski Award for Accessory Design winner Eddie Borgo, and Swarovski Award for Womenswear winner Prabal Gurung. 

Fashion Icon winner. Lady Gaga…OF COURSE…in custom Mugler….OF COURSE.

Accessory Designer of the Year Alexander Wang, with Iris Apfel.

Mi no gusta Mary J Blige, mi no gusta!

Keri…..pick a image and stick to it. First you are a tomboy, then a “vixen”, then a 50’s girl, now a girly girl? I would do a rant post on how you confuse everyone with your inconsistency but….too much work. shrugs

Everyone loved this D&G on Ms Selena Gomez…its ok to me. Love the shoes though!

Beyonce debuts life-changing powerpoint presentation. There is no time for me to discuss this awesome awesomeness. She gave me so much, so much LIFE. 

Beyonce thanks the little people Destiny’s Child and professes her love to Jay-Z. This was just an emotional moment. I am happy for her success. She deserves it! 

This tweet gave me the ultimate tickle!

Cee-Lo Green defies the laws of physics, gravity, and all sense as we know it. 

Nicki Minaj made funny faces, had barbie clones, antics, you know the usual.

Britney decided to show up and lip sync for a minute. 

Honestly I stopped watching after a while…I mean Beyonce after left, what else was there to watch? I waited for Nicki then I was out!
