My Top 2 Collections from NYFW ’23

Leave a comment

What more can I say? Christian Siriano for me is a remarkable and talented fashion designer. I have been a fan of his ever since his win in Project Runway. He understands a woman’s body, for those that don’t know- he includes plus size and for me that’s wonderful! For this collection he took me away by the floral, elegance and the presence of Audrey Hepburn.

Celebrating 20 years in fashion. This Collection must be talked about. The craftsmanship, glamour, and elegance caught my eye. I totally see all these looks down the red carpet for all future award shows.

Rihanna’s Concert – I mean The Superbowl Halftime Show

Leave a comment

I’m a little late for the party but nevertheless here is my fashion review.

Rhianna came out in a red Loewe boiler suit (jumpsuit) covered in a red body suit while adorn by a breast plate by British designer Jonathan Anderson.

Noticeably on her right shoulder you may have seen three vintage diamond brooches from Joseph Saidian & Sons. Which perfectly matched her several earrings.

She then added a layer of clothing during her performance of Umbrella. This was a red custom floor length maxi puffer coat by Alaia, which included integrated gloves. It has been said, this moment was an homage to her late friend and Fashion extraordinaire Andre Leon Talley. Her shoes were in fact sneakers, a pair of Maison Margiela and Solomon called MM6.

If you’re not familiar with him, he was an American fashion stylist, journalist, creative director and was most known as the editor at large of Vogue Magazine and judge on America’s Next Top Model.

In my opinion, she came comfortably in style.

Grammy’s 2023- Fashion Trends

Leave a comment

Sunday night was the 65th annual award show of the Grammy’s and let me just say it was very entertaining.

From Noah hosting, to Adele finally meeting the Rock to Lizzo being the ultimate humble fan and mentioning Beyonce in her acceptance speech and let me not forget Taylor Swift dancing to Bad Bunny. The night was full of fun moments!

One thing I was watching for the most was the fashion. There were 2 trends I noticed at the show that I loved the most. One was of Sparkles and the other of Ruffles. Let’s look at both trends below.

Embellishing the night, are these celebrities. But what does a little sparkle create? It gives an extra amount of glamour, makes the outfit of choice stand out. These decorative details make it more appealing to our eye and its truly amazing under the lights at the Grammy’s. Next time, you pull an outfit out of your closet that has some bedazzle on it. WEAR it!  Because you will brighten up a room day or night.

Here were two ways the celebrities were wearing ruffles at the Grammy’s.

1. On top over the shoulders -which will attract your bone structure. How is this done? The ruffles emphasizes your collarbone, jawline, and simply your shoulders.

2. Ruffles at the bottom- will accentuate your hips and balance the top half elegantly.

Also notice, J.Lo and Beyonce showing a thigh-high slit accentuating the leg. This defines confidence.

In all seriousness I thought it was canceled. Until I looked at my calendar today and I was like, “Hold up, it’s 2021. Maybe it’s up and running?”

That’s when I went full research mode. First place I went to was nyfw.com and saw the schedule. “They are back!”

NY Fashion Week has changed to more of a digital experience. Also, the name has changed.

“SAY WHAT?!” Take a deep breath, exhale. I GOT ALL THE DETAILS.

The show is now schedule to go as the “American Collections Calendar.”

But I noticed there were a few changes. The BIG designers were out of the early schedule lineup. No Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors (he will debut his collection on 4/20 via multilayered digital experience) and the list goes on.

Not only did I find that change, but I noticed no crowds of people. Just a few to none in the audience, masks are mandatory and temperature/health checks were done prior of entering.

No more racing around the shows. As many spectators were not allowed. Most audiences were booked by appointment and if so, are all in the fashion industry. In my opinion, this may have saved money to the fashion houses. This is a big plus during these tough times.

Further down my searching, I stumbled across an article that stated

“Chairman of the CFDA Tom Ford announced that New York Fashion Week was adopting the American Collections Calendar, catering to the wave of designers opting out of showing during the typical fashion week calendar or choosing to present outside of New York.”

–Via Nylon (https://www.nylon.com/fashion/fashion-month-fall-2021-schedule)

So what does this mean?

Let me break it down, designers are now able to show later in the season and not have to show their collections in NYC. They can show outside like Europe or Asia. It does not matter the location or the date they showcase. That’s something new. Oh, and let me mention, some or all designers have opted for a virtual show.

This of course has to do with COVID-19. Precautions are being met by following all CDC regulations and of the city.

What does that mean to the viewers?

CFDA has now implemented a digital platform to help designers bring their collections together called CFDA Runway360. Meaning, you can get to watch all the designers, wherever you are at and at any time. Not to mention, everything is there for the designer. What is inside the website? It has a brief description of the collection, the looks, BTS (if possible), a profile of the designer and past collections.

Go check it out.

In my honest opinion, I actually love this! I am more in tune of watching zoom meetings and interviews of the industry. I am more engaged of doing my research, not that I have not done it before. But I feel like we are taking a step at the right direction.

The council/industry is giving designers flexible time that is due as I feel like shows in the past may have been rushed due to a deadline, whereas now they have the rights to choose when they want to showcase their collection.

What do you think? Do you see Fashion Week all over the world changing? Do you like it or not? I would love to know your view. Comment below.

The 2020 Grammy Awards

Leave a comment

Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys in Atelier Versace – Dang, her body in this dress reminds me of a Italian statue. Wow, so beautiful. This one shoulder column dress had a high slit thigh action. I love how the silver/metal mesh looked on the stage and the detail on that shoulder was hand embroidered with large Swarovski crystals. It was divine for her entrance. She had 5 outfits for the night, including this one. Overall, this dress was my favorite one of them all. Did you know this dress took almost 600 hours to complete?

GWEN

Gwen Stefani in Dolce & Gabbana – Guys, she is in love! She took her boyfriend’s last name Shelton, literal. As to wear a strapless SHELL encrusted bell mini dress. This is too cute! Now that I know the little joke between them lets be serious now for one fashion minute. Doesn’t she look stunning? She wore it perfectly with the over the knee boots and that’s taking a risk. You may ask why? Seriously, not everyone can pull this look off. But she sure did and can I get a YEEHAW!

Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello in Atelier Versace – This was a custom blush pink bustier dress. It had beautiful detail work with the embroidered pearls that were shown on her neck, chest, waist and the wrist. There were Swarovski crystals decorated translucently within the dress. I loved the silk chiffon chemisier that was layered over, it was perfect. Now the performance, the song she sang was “First Man” it brought tears to my eyes. The way  she sang to her father that was at the front row was felt through all my bones. It was beautifully written and all my emotions were everywhere. You must hear it if you haven’t yet.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato in Christian Siriano – One word, breathtaking. Welcome back. She looks angelic in this white sparkle sequins gown. I could not look a way because it was well tailored. It had blazer like elements on the bodice but kept it her style with a diamond encrusted corset. We are listening Demi and you have our attention.

ARIANA GRANDE

Ariana Grande in Givenchy Haute Couture – I adore this strapless emerald ball gown on her. The over sized earrings and the matching colored gloves made the outfit come to life. It reminded me of vintage 1960’s style. I love that she kept her high ombre blonde pony tail and her makeup neutral which was the best choice. This was the last look of her night because she had a total of 5 changes.

Danielle Jonas

Danielle Jonas in J’Aton Couture – Can I please get this dress in my closet? How stunning is this grey embellished – floor length strapless gown? The thigh high slit was the perfect detail on the classic look.

JANINA GAVANKAR

Janina Gavankar in Romona Keveza – She wore a red dress to the red carpet and it was amazing. She reminds me of a bond girl, if she hasn’t played one she should. This one sleeve  red chiffon gown dress was effortlessly elegant. I like how it had an asymmetrical design and the detail of a wrap style is what caught my attention because it included a knee high slit. My eyes were drawn from left to right and all around.

Lizzo

Lizzo in White Atelier Versace with Lorraine Schwartz Necklace. Then changed to Christian Siriano for a performance of “Cuz I Love You” .

When she walked the red carpet in the white Atelier Versace my mouth dropped. She look stunning in this floor length embellished gown. I liked that I saw her in this old Hollywood glamour style. Yes, darling! The sweetheart neckline was adorn in Lorraine Schwartz necklaces. The knee high slit and the faux fur shawl were great detail for the overall look.

Onto the other outfit change, when she came out in the black embellished off the shoulder ball gown of Christian Siriano; I couldn’t contain my “YOU GO GIRL!” She looked flawless. I loved that the gown was adorn in crystals, so when the light hit her it shimmered through the TV, it was beautiful and the orchestra playing in the background it looked like a painting. It was breath taking.

SAWEETIE

Saweetie in Moschino – SEXY, SEXY AND DID I SAY SEXY?! Off the run way, this asymmetrical metallic dress hugged all the right curves.

Screen Actors Guild Awards 2020

Leave a comment

The 26th SAG Awards aired on January 19, 2020. Here are my nominations of Best Dressed of the ceremony.

ZOEY

ZOEY KRAVTIZ- in Oscar de la Renta with Tiffany Co. Jewelry. This outfit reminds me of Jackie Kennedy, she wore a similar peachy dress back in the day. Yet the style and pose remind me of Audrey Hepburn. This is a different style from what I normally see Zoe wear in award shows and I am LOVING IT, hoping it remains! The petite bow at the waistline is charming and the gloves reminds me of her character in Little Big Lies. I like how the entire outfit evoked old school glamour.

JENNIFER

Jennifer Lopez- in Georges Hobeika with Harry Winston jewelry. WOW is an understatement. She wore this black satin off the shoulder column gown. When she turned around there was a floor length bow train to make a statement. To complete the look she wore a diamond necklace, drop earrings and a diamond bracelet. Guess how much is it all worth? 9 million dollars! Let me take a breath on that one. *sigh*  She rocked it out!

SCARLETT

Scarlett Johansson- in Armani Prive. My oh, My! How radiant did she look?! This emerald gown at a glance looks like it was strapless but quiet the contrary, turn around it had diamond straps.  I admit, when I first saw her from the back I said to myself, “What! She has tattoos?” I went to Google to zoom in another picture and to my surprise she does. She has roses and a lamb on her back. But back to this stunning ensemble, the plunging v-neck is always stunning on her and she paired it well with a bright red lip for a pop of color and did an sleek back up do.

JOEY

Joey King- in Jason Wu with Akillis Jewelry. I like this edgy lingerie look on Joey. I like that the dress left little to the imagination with sheer lining. It felt sultry yet elegant for the awards. The structured bodice hugged her body beautifully. I noticed that there were crystals/diamonds that covered translucency all over and it was divine. The wet hairstyle slick back (which I am noticing as a trend) showed off the dangled earrings.

REESE

Reese Witherspoon- in Celine and Harry Winston Jewelry. Can I say, Sleek and snatched. To my fellow Legally Blonde fans, you know I was talking about the famous quote, “Bend and Snatch” But for this look Reese, wore a column dress with a high slit that showcased leg action. I like that the strapless black satin dress had sequin embellishments all over. One detailed that was AH-MAZING (as Rachel Zoe would say) is that one crossover belt shoulder. Overall, this to me feels like a new look for her and its refreshing.

JENNIFER G

Jennifer Garner- in Dolce & Gabbana with Harry Winston Jewelry. I always view Jennifer Garner as the character in 13 going to 30, her aurora is beautiful. Like, this is a mom I would like to be friends with. I like that she went for a red garment on the grey carpet. The gown graced with a fitted bodice and a pleated flared floor length hemline skirt. This look together is sweet and simplicity at it’s finest.

CAMILA

Camila Mendes- in Ralph & Russo with Swarovski Jewelry. Camila to me has always been glamorous in my eyes because of her character in Riverdale. This look is exactly what I  envision her in. She looks gorgeous with this off the shoulder gown . I love the light pink color which in pictures looks like a nude hue. The plunging neckline made this look but most of all the crystal and beaded embroidery detail on it were to die for. Not to mention the sheer cape that almost looked like it wasn’t there until she moved it around. *Sigh* Just one word, perfection.

SOPHIE

Sophie Turner- in Louis Vuitton. How gorgeous does she look?! She definitely made my jaw drop. The hot pink color makes her hair and eyes pop, I like that she kept the makeup simple. Now let’s talk about the dress. Doesn’t this remind you of Barbie with a hint of old Hollywood glamour? I love the sweetheart neckline shape of this strapless gown. I can see a bit of corset inspired on the bodice, I like how there is a belted waist and that high slit was perfect. She paired it well with silver heels.

MILLIE

Millie Bobby Brown- in Louis Vuitton I can’t believe that she is only 15 years old and she is making fashion statements like this that I absolutely approve as a mom and love. She wore a long fitted jacket that had a v-neckline adorn with a diamond necklace. The puffed up shoulders and the belted waist gave a dramatic look  but clean detail. I like how the blazer extended down like a high low dress and was perfectly paired with straight leg pants. Topped with white pointed heels making the entire outfit monochromatic.

AMANDA

Amanda Brugel- in Sebastian Gunawan Watch out Martha’s in the Handmaid’s Tale, Amanda shut it down in this glamour green embroidered gown. I want this dress in my closet. I love the draped sleeves, the plunging neckline, and the hair slicked back. But most of all is the back of the dress which is actually held like a halter top. You may be asking how? It’s deceiving to the eye from the front but if you zoom to the side of the neck you can see a string across and because I stalked her IG and found the picture of the back, which I wish she would’ve turned around and took professional pictures like this for the press because I wouldn’t have known.

Critics Choice Awards 2020

Leave a comment

25th Critics Choice Awards

The 25th annual of the Critics Choice Awards was aired on January 12, 2020. I have finally watched it and here are my top 4 picks of The Best Dressed.

J.LO

J.Lo in Georges Hobeika – Grace and Elegance is what J.lo brings this look to life. The champagne hue looks so well on the blue carpet. The silhouette hugged all her curves to perfection. The back of the dress had a sheer mesh and the neckline and waist were studded in jewelry, which I adored! She paired the look with Harry Winston’s chandelier drop earrings and a matching Jimmy Choo clutch.

ZENDAYA

Zendaya in Tom Ford – She brought the warrior queen to this look. I personally love the monochromatic/futuristic feel. The high neck , sleeveless and asymmetrical top is a fashion forward in my little black book of fashion. She paired it well with the maxi skirt and braided hair. The hue of fuchsia was perfect on her skin tone, I love how she accentuated the color in her eyes and nails.

ANNABELLE WALLIS

 

Annabelle Wallis in Moschino – I love the plunging v-neck line in the sequins dress. The shoulders were draped showing a slit of skin. As Annabelle turned around you were able to see the exposure of her back which was beautiful.

ANNE HATHAWAY

Anne Hathaway in Atelier Versace – Hello, there mama of two. This was the first time she had walked a carpet after giving birth to her 2nd child. And she looks stunning! She gave me a retro feel. What I love about this shimmery gold gown is the billowing sleeves and the plunged v-neckline that made it sexy. Correct me if I am wrong, I barely see her doing something so risky as this or could that be my mom brain failing me again? Oh well. Overall, she had a glow with her natural makeup and loose hair, which was mesmerizing.

Golden Globe Awards 2020

Golden Globes Best Dressed 2020

A little late but better than ever. You know, #momlife when I finally had time to watch the DVR. Here are my choices for Best Dressed from The Golden Globe Awards 2020.

Taylor Swift in Etro

talor swift

When she came on the red carpet I absolutely loved this floral over sized gown. I saw it from the back (I personally love that pose) and when she turned around and I saw the peekaboo triangle on her stomach I was floored. This is was perfect for Taylor and her style. Her jewelry was minimal and I loved how effortlessly her hair looked pushed back upward.

Scarlett Johansson in Vera Wang

scarlett johansson

How happy did Scarlett Johansson looked on this night, am I right? She looked divine. She wore this custom frock dressed by Vera Wang. I loved the v-neck plunge line which made her look oh, so sexy and the dramatic bow train. Red is a hard color to wear especially on a red carpet but she nailed it. Her statement necklace and jewelry were from BVGLARI which paired well with the strapless dress. Am I see a trend with hair? It was slicked back into a bun and I love it!

Phoebe Walter Bridge in Ralph & Russo

phoebe walter

So I am not much of a suit unless you can pull it off. And phoebe did just that! She wore a two piece tweed suit and what drove my attention was the metallic thread that shined, it looked like the seamstress took their time on it. The plunged v-neck line made this outfit sexy where her hair let down made it look edgy as well. I also loved, the detailed pin on the shoulder. I was totally getting, Mick Jagger vibes. Rock On!

Renee Zellweger in Armani

renee zellweger

OH.M.GEE! This strapless elegant dressed made me wonder as soon as it hit the carpet, “How did they keep it wrinkle free?” haha, you should’ve seen my jaw hit the floor. It was beautifully made by Armani Prive. Such minimal dress but yet the slit that showed her toned leg made it look sexy. The diamond detail on the border of the dress were the perfect touch.

Reese Witherspoon in Roland Mouret

reese witherspoon

Hello Glamour. This asymmetric gown was just gorgeous on Reese. I wonder as the night went how her dress was. I always love to wear white but when I do I get dirty, never fails! Overall, the slick back hair over the ears and the Tiffiani & co. jewelry made it look effortless.

Anna de Armas in Ralph & Russo

ana de armas

Can I point out how Anna is channeling Audrey Hepburn? The strapless deep blue ball gown was embellished in sequins, which was perfect for the flashlights. What I loved most about this dress was the hidden pockets that you could not tell it had. Who doesn’t love pockets on a dress, right? Adorned in Tiffany jewelry with a pop of a red lip made the outfit come to life.

Zoey Deutch in Fendi

zoey deutch

Can you believe this is a jumpsuit and not a dress?! I repeat, this is not a dress. It got me fooled and I LOVE IT! It looks so flattering on her and the puffy sleeves don’t make this look costumey, it’s more of a statement and the way the dress is constructed is well made. She is truly a sunshine because the color scheme of yellow works well with her skin tone paired with her auburn hair and hues of blues with the jewelry was on point. The hair pulled back behind her ears make it look clean with minimal makeup and a touch a light pink lipstick. The deep plunged neck line made her titanic jewelry look by, Harry Winston look extraordinaire. Best look of the night by far!

Jeannie Mai in Elisabetta Franchi

jeannie mai

What caught my attention from the TV was the beaded bodice. Then I noticed it was a jumpsuit, which did not make her look shorter, not sure why I assume Jeannie is shorter than me. But hey, that’s what I imagine. The look actually made her look taller and I love that she added a red lipstick for the pop of color.

Renee Bargh in Tony Maticevski

Renee Bargh

I liked the one- shoulder asymmetric neckline gown completed by a flowy cape from behind. The slit showed her tone leg and the belt was cinched at the waist. In the middle of the chest was a cut opening which was not too revealing. The one thing I would’ve changed is the spikes on the belt, I would’ve liked a more slicked/cleaned belt.  Overall this look was perfect for the globes.
