The Eastwood name has been making headlines these past few days for all the wrong reasons. Clint Eastwood's daughter Francesca is currently under fire for destroying and burning a 100K Hermes Birkin all

Classy and Fabulous

BEST DRESSED

Jessica Alba looked absolutely radiant, elegant, gorgeous...and the list goes on. The actress wore this Michael Kors gown to perfection. Her retro waves and bold lipstick completed the look. She never fails to impress on the red carpet!

Karolina Kurkova sizzled in this Gold Rachel Zoe gown fit for the fashion queen. She looked like a golden statue. Her look was completed with a matching turban and simple accessories. Definitely one of my favorites.

Fashion Faux Pas

It may seem like I took a dislike to Beyonce today but its really not the case. I love Bey, when she's in her element. She's one of the greatest artists out there and with more training and time, she could become a phenomenal actress like her fellow Dream Girls costar Jennifer Hudson. I'm disliking the amounts of people who are too busy kissing her behind because of her fame and glory and do not acknowledge the truth about what she does/wear. My prime target is every blogger/magazine/tv commentator out there who placed our highness on their Best Dressed list for last night's Met Gala. I get that the gown was supposed to make a statement but what it conveyed was that Beyonce tried a bit too hard. The glowing start always steals the show wherever she goes, she didn't have to go all out in this sheer number by Givenchy. Her body was too exposed for my liking and there was just too much going on with the dress. I did like that she chose to keep her hair and makeup simple because had it been dramatic...only God knows. She should have taken a clue or two from her stylish sister Solange  and kept it simple. Less is ALWAYS more...

Solange should give Beyonce a tip or two..she was my Best Dressed pick for the night.

Queen Bey's "Journalism Award"

A while ago I read Beyonce's "Eat Play Love" article. I was surprised at how open the usually private triple threat was about her upbringing and her life in general. She spoke about the woman who inspired her to be a strong and focused black woman; her mother. I can attest to that because i grew up watching my mom go about her daily duties while raising eight kids. She spoke about Destiny's Child's struggles to make it in the music industries and how hard she has worked to maintain her status in the business.

The long descriptive article seemed more like a journal entry to me than anything else, which explains my surprise when I found out that Beyonce was being awarded a journalism award by the New York Association of Black Journalists. I'm sure that almost every journalist, blogger...etc's jaws dropped when they first heard the news. I do not think Beyonce is skilled enough to receive an award for her journal entry in Essence magazine. I found a very interesting and truthful article by Dr. Boyce Watkins i thought I should share with all my readers. Dr. Watkins excellently criticized the NYABJ for they're ill fated choice.

Similarities

Charlize Theron in Dior, Oscars 2010











I wasn't a huge fan of this design when it was sported by the gorgeous Charlize Theron at the Oscars. In fact, it had found its way on numerous Worst Dressed lists. It comes as a surprise to me that the great Zac Pozen designed a gown that is almost an exact replica of Charlize's Dior gown. The colors are similar, the rushing at the back and the two blonde beauties showcasing the frocks.

The one who took my breath away...

To kick off my return to blogging, I thought I would start off with the ever so graceful and gorgeous actress Carey Mulligan at the Costume Institute Gala tonight. 

Carey has become a red carpet veteran. She looks absolutely flawless in this gold prada number. Her soft but dramatic makeup and her oh so perfect hair do complete her flawless look.
