Sheer For Day Or Night? Emily Blunt Does It Right…

I’ll Have What She’s Having: Work wonders in a sheer & maxi combination Actress Emily Blunt looked radiant in a decadent art-deco inspired beaded Gucci dress at a recent LACMA event in Los Angeles while donning an ingenious combination of a sheer panel paired with a dramatic maxi length.  And while heavy beading, a fitted shape and a sheer panel below the knee reads as too many ideas for one dress on paper, her Gucci number works thanks to a simple, non-revealing tank cut top half and tonal black bead work. But Blunt looking va-va-voom in a dress on the red carpet is not the only thing we'd like to point out here since it also brings light to making

Celebrity Beauty- Amber Heard Updates Hollywood Glamour in Jean Paul Gaultier and Bright Pink Lipstick

Celebrity Style Bust- Rihanna, the girl of too many things but one good Givenchy Antigona bag

I'll Have What She's Having (from the waist up): Rihanna manages to ruin a few very good pieces with some dang tacky tights and a girdle for a dress. There, I said it! Givenchy large size Antigona bag in black nappa leather, as worn by Rihanna. Available at Barney's Rihanna was sporting some super chic fashion elements on her 3AM return to her hotel after her concert in Paris. There's the well-proportioned floppy fedora (unlike that over-sized Kim Kardashian monstrosity), the covetable cropped jacket, and the to-die-for Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci “Antigona” bag... all in classic black. But, what is going on with those nasty sheer thigh highs, and the peachy body con skirt in the color of an old

Kim Kardashian manages to take a perfectly fine– and loose-fitting– dress and make it look cheesy

With all the insane streams of money coming her way, Kim K still manages to look cheap. We get celebrity style pr tip sheets of almost every celebrity and celebutard that you can imagine wearing something or another.  Usually they end upon the trash, but this time I couldn't bear not to share this Kim Kardashian "celebrity style" alert as it's so tacky that I've got to hope no one out there wants to make it stick. We all know that  the Kardashian klan own a batch of boutiques, but did she have to wear the entire accessory department all at once?

Lady Gaga Dumps the Crazy Costumes and Wears Tom Ford

I'll Have What She's Having: This is HIGH F-A-S-H-I-O-N, but is it right for Lady Gaga? It seems that Lady Gaga got the memo that the constant ridiculous costumes distract from her music. Its redundancy in trying to push the envelope becomes, well, boring. Then, there is fashion, and there is HIGH fashion. At an appearance for MTV News last night, Lady Gaga wore an off the runway, Tom Ford chalk white guipure lace dress with 3D detail. The dress has the exaggerated aristocratic elegance of a dress that the model Dovima would have been photographed wearing in the 1950's. And, I love it! The dress as seen on TomFord.com But on Lady Gaga, not so much. Let's not forget
