MET Gala Snippets

I'm pulled a Rickey Lake, I took a looooong break but now I'm coming back. Its a lot going on in celeb world so naturally I have a lot to say. So sue me *shrug*.

Let's get down to business. All the who's who of celebrityville came out last night for Anna Wintour's Gala at the MET honoring Alexander McQueen. Now I know this is supposed to be a "costume" party-but some people went above and beyond.

Exhibit A: Andre Leon Talley....I can't--not now, not ever with this outfit. Grown ass man in somebody's overgrown choir robe!!! Anna get ya boy please!


W-T-F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!As I look at this all I picture "Oh when the saints go marching in"...He thought he was marching up to the pearly gates...SMH...

Serena Williams...*sigh* You really tried it with this Touch by an Angel look. Who's fairy godmother were you trying be?!?! Lookin like Glenda the black witch from Wizard of Oz. You're doing too much. The Royal wedding was last week-enough with the hat.

Eva honey my grandmother wants her drapes back!

Fergie you're giving me Bride of Star Trek. And by the look on your face, even you can't believe you walked out like this. This would've actually been a good look minus the life-size shoulder pads.

This was not Chanel Iman's best look. Boring and a tad bit on the older side for someone so young. She definitely needed something more youthful looking. Off to sip high-tea w/ the queen perhaps?

Zoe, girl I love you but this just wasn't it. *yawns* at this outfit. From the side this looked like a frock. Wonder if she's prego? Doubt it but just sayin

Rosario Dawson- the only thing I really liked about this dress was the back. And the hair ....the messy ponytail look isn't working AT ALL!

I see nobody decided to pull Cassie to the side and go over the dresscode for a Gala. Cassie girl I know you're still young but anytime you see the word Gala on an invite leave your club attire at home. You're way underdressed for this event.

Kerry looked radiant. Lovin the fresh spring look.

Baaaag Laddyyyy (in my Erykah Badu voice)...Remember Cicely Tyson's character in "Eve's Bayou"??? Well Naomi damn sure nailed it last night! Naomi you scare me in this outfit.

This dress was EVERYTHING on Rih-Rih. The hair would've looked better swept up or long curls vs the long braid. She should've switched hairstylist with Ciara because hers wasn't working for me either.

Ciara was by far had one of my fav looks of the night minus the hair and the cuff. Neither worked with this gown. Makeup is flawless!

Solange was my choice for BEST dressed of the night. I loved everything about this look. The hair, the makeup, the dress!!! She slays hands down!

Happy couples A. Keys & Swiss Beatz and Melo & Lala. Still looking like they're in that honeymoon phase....loves them!

And for this very reason is why I chose Solange over Lady Bey for Best Dressed. I can only imagine how tight this Lil Mermaid gown must've been. Dress was stunning but she lost brownie points by not being able to walk in it. It was like watching Oprah in her Christian Louboutins. Just sit, don't move and look purty.

STUNNING

Okay Let's Talk...

WHEW! It's been a minute since I updated. OK, so I came across this picture of Rihanna and you know it's fine that her fashion sense is definitely out of the box, but let's talk about this hat.

Is someone's grandmom missing the hat below?!! Ugh..some things from the 80's need to STAY IN THE 80'S! What's your opinion??

FASHION DESIGNER ALEXANDER MCQUEEN DIES!!!

The fashion world is mourning the loss of one of its greatest designer; Alexaner McQueen. The 40-year-old designer was found dead in central London today. His death is not being treated as suspicious. The designer recently lost his mother on February 2. McQueen dressed notable stars such as Rhianna, Janet Jackson, Sarah Jessica Parker and many more. His death comes just a week before London Fashion week is scheduled to begin. More details to come.

Rihanna and The Grammy's

Ok, so here's the thing- we all know what happened last year before the Grammy's-the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident. It's obvious that they have both moved on, but as a woman, I'm sure as this event gets closer you can't help but wonder does she think back to that night...even if she has moved on.

Rihanna's performance on Oprah

So Rihanna is one of the many starts that will be performing this Friday for "Hope for Haiti". Here she is her performance from today's Oprah's show where she sung a Bob Marley song. Quite appropriate for the occasion I must say.

RHIANNA & MAXWELL PERFORM ON OPRAH TOMORROW

Lady O is finally having her take on the situation in Haiti. She's bringing Maxwell and Grammy award-winner and trendsetter Rihanna to perform tomorrow. Wonder what hits each artist will perform??? I'm doubt Oprah and Rihanna will get to do some couch time since the show is geared towards Haiti.

Oprah's also going to talk to Wyclef about what he's witnessed while in Haiti.

RIHANNA'S NEW SONG!

CHECK IT OUT!!! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

check out www.Rihannanow.com to hear the song!

By the way- her lyrics are talking about taking a chance ( a risk). In no way is she, in my opinion, promoting violence. Once upon a time, people used to look into a meaning of a song. Once upon a time, lyrics didn't have to tell us what we should feel. I think Rih did a good job of expressing where she is at her point in life right now. The girl obviously has some choices to make. Think with your head, Rih. Think with your head.

Or try the You Tube video below (I mean what would we do without Youtube??)

If You Were Waiting

"The Wait is Ova" It's been reported that Nov. 23, Rih Rih will be releasing her album. "The Wait is Ova" may not be the title of the album. Much Luck to you, girl.

Rihanna on TWITTER???

So it's been said that Rihanna is on Twitter. @Rihanna ...she hasn't posted anything yet. Just letting you know..in case you're interseted. Below are a couple of shots of a photo shoot done in Berlin~

Luv the coat, but I'm just asking..didn't Beyonce wear this same coat but a different color a few days ago? "I'm just sayin' no disrespect" ;)
