HOTT FASHION?

Maybe … NOT!

Precious very well may be the film to land Mariah Carey an Oscar (thus proving that not even the worst move in the world – Glitter – can really tank a career). See what the stars wore to support their beloved indie flick.

Mariah Carey sizzled in her sleek little Zac Posen gown. From what I hear of her performance, she has every reason to beam like that.

Mary J. Blige looks a little bored in her Emilio Pucci gown.

House star Lisa Edelstein looks lovely and chic in this belted skirt and top, accessorized with a great pair of peeptoe pumps.

Olivia Wilde always looks breathtaking on the red carpet. She wore a white RM by Roland Mouret dress, which she paired with nude accessories (see Olivia Wilde’s lookbook for more of her favorites).

I’m not loving the way this dress looks on Gabourey Sidibe, but I do love that she consistently wears beautiful, bright colors on the red carpet.

Paula Patton is a severe HOTT!!!-ie in this Bottega Veneta dress. Husband Robin Thicke is a very lucky man.

Paula Abdul looks a little too much like Prince in those leather pants.

HOTT FASHION!

Must take a lot of hard work to look so good!

Precious, the little indie film that could, is finally hitting theaters this month, after more than a year of near-constant buzz about triumphant performances by Mo’Nique and a mustachioed Mariah Carey. Also starring in the film is the beautiful PAULA PATTON, who has looked nothing short of radiant at all of the film’s promotional events.

At the Los Angeles premiere over the weekend, Ms. Patton (singer Robin Thicke’s wife) wore a lovely violet corseted dress by Bottega Veneta. She paired the dress with some strappy sandals and an interesting pearl necklace and earrings set (although I’m not sure they really work with the edginess of those sandals). Patton showed off the jewels with a sleek, sophisticated low bun.

HOTT FASHION!

WOW-SERS!

In case you hadn’t already noticed the sudden proliferation of shoulder pads, 80s fashion is back in a big way?

New Wave!

The splatter prints, shocking neons, and aggressive shoulder pads of the 1980s have all found their way back onto today’s catwalks. Check out these designer collections and what makes them oh-so-80s.

Jason Wu!

This glorious Jason Wu dress is 80s-inspired in both color and shape. Who doesn’t love those shoulder ruffles?

Charlotte Ronson!

These shoulder pads are straight out of a 1986 career woman’s closet. The headband and jeweled belt are equally time-warped.

Christian Siriano!

The top half is Dynasty’s Alexis Carrington. The same cannot be said of the skirt, however fabulous.

Mara Hoffman!

The last time chunky bangles looked so good paired with shocking pink? Around 1989.

L.A.M.B. ..!

The 80s trend does not stop at the clothing. Models wore petulantly harsh neon eyeliner at the presentation for Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. line.

Gerlan Jeans!

Perhaps not so much 80s as, say, another dimension.

Diane Von Furstenberg!

Remember Harem Pants? Maybe you remember them better as Hammer Pants. Technically 1990s, but whatever. They’re back.

DKNY

Blazers were once the uniform of 1980s teenage movie villains. Now, they’re a wardrobe staple once again.

Jill Stuart

Slashed lace, draped metallics, and leggings. Yup. 80s.

Isaac Mizrahi!

Oversized, masculine, and so ’80s.

Alexandre Herchcovitch!

A crop top with puffed sleeves? I’m in heaven

Marc Jacobs!

Just sayin’.

“She’s the sunshine after the storm,” Helayel was reported as saying.

HOTT FASHION!

Work it, Girl!

NAOMI CAMPBELL walks the catwalk in the Issa fashion show during London Fashion Week at the BFT Tent, Somerset House on September 20, 2009 in London, England.

BAD-GIRL supermodel Naomi Campbell has over-powered the big-hitters of style with a demonstration of why she’s “the best walker on the catwalk”.

Designers Matthew Williamson and Antonio Berardi made their hotly anticipated return to London Fashion Week yesterday, injecting serious glamour into the event as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.

But Campbell proved, at the age of 39, that supermodel is still the most sought-after label, with a leggy display of outfits by Issa’s Daniella Helayel.

“Naomi is pure hurricane – she’s the best walker on the catwalk, she’s the sunshine after the storm,” Helayel was reported as saying. “Every time she walks, the audience screams and claps. I’m very pleased she wanted to wear three outfits, as she only wears what she likes. She is the top model in swimwear, and looks better than any 21-year-old I know.”

Williamson, a New Yorker for the past seven years, presented typically colourful and sexy dresses enhanced by intricate beading, metallic fabrics and shards of mirrors.

“It’s great that he’s coming back to London. I wish they’d all come back to London. That’s where they originated, that’s where they trained,” said Twiggy, the model who became the face of the 1960s.

Big names have boosted the six-day London Fashion Week after years of struggling for prestige against the big guns of Paris, New York and Milan.

British-Italian Berardi, who has been showing in Paris since 2005, returned home with a collection that maintained his trademark miniskirts, with dresses sculpted from the waist outwards, matched with bustiers. The designers’ return, alongside Pringle of Scotland and Burberry, has caused huge excitement – even if it is unclear whether they will stay after the celebrations end.

The Los Angeles-based swimwear and intimate apparel designer creates showstopping suits, taking her cue from ultra-feminine vintage styles and incorporating such features as a built-in corset bra in the above ‘Barbie’ swimsuit.

HOTT FASHION!

OK! Here it is! Young b*tches! … Yeah! That was uncalled for! I know! … LOL!

It’s late July, everyone is suffering in the sweltering heat and the humidity is so thick it’s suffocating. You do the charitable thing and offer to take your nieces and nephews to the community pool for a dip in what is essentially raw sewage.

What swimsuit do you take along for such an occasion? Something you won’t mind pouring gasoline over and setting ablaze after you remove it, and certainly not a piece from LA Drama Queen.

And better yet – you can actually swim in them. Though wouldn’t you be a bit reluctant to get this insanely adorable ‘Absyinthe’ suit all wet?

Elle wore an itty bitty Herve Leger ‘Camille‘ dress and Christian Louboutin peep-toe platforms to the Jaguar XJ launch party in London

HOTT FASHION!

Work it girl!

After two kids and more than 25 years in the modeling industry, ELLE MacPHERSON is still rocking some short hemlines.

In four years, Australian supermodel Elle MacPherson will be in the top ten of the 50 Sexiest Women Over 50. Yes, she’s 46, and yes, she looks like that.

Elle wore an itty bitty Herve Leger ‘Camille’ dress and Christian Louboutin peep-toe platforms to the Jaguar XJ launch party in London. With her matching clutch and tousled blond hair, she was easily the foxiest celebrity in attendance.

Elle has to maintain her famous figure (she’s still nicknamed “The Body,” after all) to keep her business going strong. Elle MacPherson’s Intimates is still selling well, after almost twenty years on the shelves.

But don’t feel too sad – did you really want to spend $1,140 on a pair of sneakers?

HOTT FASHION!

HIGH PRICE!

Sorry, Kanye West fans – the much-anticipated collection of sneakers Kanye designed for Louis Vuitton has already sold out. If you weren’t on a waiting list, you probably don’t have a pair.

It was rumored earlier this week that Louis Vuitton was pushing back the sale date on the kicks, which Kanye has named The Jaspers, The Dons, and Mr. Hudson, but it now appears that they actually were in stores today, for a brief moment in time. A salesperson at a NYC Louis Vuitton store told The Cut people had been inquiring about the shoes since January.

But don’t feel too sad – did you really want to spend $1,140 on a pair of sneakers? Because that’s how much The Jasper would have cost you.

Meanwhile, it’s been rumored that Kanye is currently interning at The Gap in New York City. Maybe there are some affordable Kanye-inspired items coming at us in the near future?

And hopefully many of you will agree! ... if not! You can kiss my cynical a**! LOL!

HOTT FASHION!

I think not!

Last night’s BET Awards were a fairly somber event in the wake of Michael Jackson’s death on Thursday. The clothes, however, were anything but somber. Thank goodness.

The GOOD!

Alicia Keys’ Jenny Packham dress is perfect for the BET Awards – it’s shiny and eye-catching, but it’s not ridic.

Zoe Saldana was gorgeous in a structured white Calvin Klein dress and Brian Atwood heels. I’m loving the gentle curls, but I have the feeling she’s hiding an interesting neckline under all that hair.

Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose (guess they’re still together) kept it simple: he in lumberjack boots, she in a white mini dress and a pair of hot pink pumps.

A leather dress in June? Whatever, Ciara looks hot in it.

Speaking of hot, check out Tatyana Ali! Someone give this girl a comeback, stat.

I have the feeling Estelle won’t be the only one wearing a white glove in the coming months.

Tyra Banks’ silky blouse and slacks look like something Michael Jackson might have worn in the early mid-90s, so she gets a pass.

I actually think Keri Hilson’s sparkly dress is pretty HOTT! – it does amazing things for her body, but her two-toned hair is just bringing her down.

Beyoncé loves her Balmain, so this isn’t particularly surprising. She’s gotta bring the fierce, right? But as Olivia puts it, “She can be fierce without being like, a crotch shot.” I bet she had trouble walking:

The BAD!

Teairra Mari went for something short and sweet, and probably can’t move for fear of flashing.

Remember Monica? Well, she’s edgy now.

Cassie, you’re so, so beautiful. But this dress screams, “Remember my nudie photos? PLEASE REMEMBER MY NUDIE PHOTOS AMERICA!“

Dresses like these make me wish reality stars could be universally banned from the red carpet. Oh boy, Omarosa.

The Ugly!

This Alexander McQueen dress should never have seen the red carpet. When the nude body stocking is visible beneath the dress, you’ve lost, Melody Thornton. But at the same time my mouth is still wondering for a bite into one of those thighs! LOL!

Lil Mama, I love you. But you’ve got to stop with this madness.

MC Lyte NO! BABY! NO!
