AN ACQUIRED TASTE


WHO: Leona Lewis
WHAT: Midriff baring Fashion Statements
WHEN: May 23rd, 2011
WHERE: BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra’s Hackney weekend at Hackney Empire, London, England.
FASHIONWIDGET’S VERDICT: Again with the bare midriff look. The scalloped hem is interesting but the look is much too busy for my personal taste. See our past feature on Leona for more details.

MATERNITY SPICE


WHO: Victoria ‘Posh Spice’ Beckham
WHAT: Simon Fuller’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremony
WHEN: May 23rd, 2011
WHERE: Hollywood, California
FASHIONWIDGET’S VERDICT: *Please DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS LOOK unless you are the fashionista seen above.* We do not advocate pregnancy in pumps but Victoria makes it look wicked good. We believe that the maternity gown she is wearing is one of her own designs from the current season. Perhaps she brought her son, Brooklyn along for support in case she slipped in those seven-inch-custom-made Christian Louboutin pumps. We get it Posh, your fashion does not take a break for anything but please endeavour to wear some flats at some point during your pregnancy. B-
