Best Looks from the Red Carpet + Backstage at the 2012 BET Awards in Los Angeles

Beyonce + Nicki Minaj

Mariah + Monica + Cissy Houston + LaLa

Eva Pigford + Selita Ebanks + Toccara Jones

Lola Munroe + Angela Bassett + Kerry Washington

From what I saw, the afore-mentioned celebrities were the only ones who represented for fashion at the 2012 BET Awards, which took place in Los Angeles last evening. The men had it easy (don’t they always?) All they had to do was show up in jeans and a t-shirt or a suit. The women? Hmm! Boy, did they try to make all kinds of fashion statements in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colours and lengths all night long, with performers changing into as many as two or three outfits through the course of the night. For the most part they were okay fashion statements. Kerry Washington, who is one of my favourite fashionistas played it too safe in a beige bustier and black pencil skirt. I was pleasantly surprised by Toccara Jones who looked pretty stylish in print, Selita Ebanks knocked it out of the ballpark in a semi-see-through floor length Falguni & Shane Peacock (she’s definitely becoming a fashion favourite), Beyonce shined in a thigh-high slit sleek yellow dress paired with a statement silver belt, Kim Kardashian and Eva Pigford also impressed in sizzling white numbers. Angela Bassett kept in classy in an appropriately short lacy lbd paired with peep-toe pumps and her stylishly signature pixie haircut. I really loved Lola Munroe’s one-shouldered fitted gown by Gerardo Reyes but couldn’t understand the necklace on her head which threatened to unbalance her nearly perfect look.

Sidewalk Style: Kim Kardashian Gets Peplum-ed in Paris

Parisian Style?

Kim K.

Fashionwidget’s Verdict: Kim Kardashian is very stylish but this look begs the question. Beige can be a very cruel colour on curvy girls as there is nowhere to hide unless you are wearing a beige ball gown. Perhaps, a body sculpting silhouette would have been more flattering (and not to mention forgiving) on the well-endowed Kardashian. The doggy-collar chain in on-trend but I’m not sure I like it with this ensemble and I also would have preferred colourful strappy heels instead of playing it safe in typical noir.

Fashion Winners: Nina Dobrev, Kim K & Jessie J “Angelegging” Fashionistas at amFAR 2012

Not familiar with the term “angelegging” head to google or wikipedia. I just found out this morning that the powers that be had coined a term for it, hehehe. Hint: it has something to do with Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at a certain award show earlier this year. 😉

Fashionwidget’s Top 3 Best Dressed Divas on Day 9 of Cannes:

1. Actress Nina Dobrev in Elie Saab, this woman can do no wrong.

2. TV Starlet Kim Kardashian in Elie Saab, it’s Kim K, come on.

3. Singer Jessie J in Louis Heal, finally she gets it right.

Breaking Cannes: No sign of Angelina Jolie at the ‘Killing Them Softly’ photo-ops, Kim Kardashian arrives in Nice, France.

I have to admit, seeing Angelina Jolie walk the red carpet with her fiance Brad Pitt was a secret wish of mine for this year’s festivities at Cannes. That wish now seems to be fading fast as all the day-7 pictures start to trickle in and Brad is seen flying solo at every single photo-op. In other news, back in black…Kim Kardashian has finally left London and has landed in Nice for the Cannes film festival. It isn’t clear as yet when exactly she will be walking the red carpet but judging from her airport style, she will be bringing the glamour. Stay tuned.

Kim Kardashian’s UK Tour Style Report Card – May 2012

This is a woman who is very aware of her curvy figure and for the most part, dresses to flatter it. For her brand promotional tour in the UK this week, Kim packed everything from Stella McCartney to D&G and not to mention her rumoured new boyfriend Kanye West, taking the sidewalks & red carpets of London by storm. Call her what you want but there is no denying that she is a fashionable starlet and a world-class beauty to boot. Her only faux-pas was when she dared to wear that black cut-out-net Stella McCartney mini dress that (not only has been worn to death by everyone from Nicole Kidman to Leann Rimes to Brooklyn Decker) it also looked ill-fitted on her.
