Where do I even begin? Oh, I know, beige is boring! While many of the beige dresses were actually pretty, they washed out everyone who wore them. Where was all the color? Poor Jessica Simpson. I’m thinking it’s about time she fires Rachel Zoe. She’s not at a cocktail party; this is one of the biggest fashion events of the year.
Thank goodness for Janet Jackson, she at least brought some color to the evening. Although, I have come to realize that I’m just not a fan of belted dresses.
Francisco Costa sealed the deal for Calvin Klein Monday night. With Natalia Vodianova on one arm and Scarlett Johansson the other, Costa beat out Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler’s Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough to capture the Womenswear Designer of the Year award in what erupted into a celebratory stampede of cheers, standing ovations, and for the Brazilian-born designer himself, a slight shed of tears.
While Costa’s award garnered a large chunk of the evening’s bravo, there were other categories to contend with. Thom Browne won the Menswear Designer of the Year award and Tom Binns was honored with the Accessory Designer of the Year award.
Swarovski’s Perry Ellis awards, presented by Alicia Keys and John Legend, went to Doo-Ri Chung for women’s wear; the Trovata foursome of Jeff Halmos, Josia Lamberto-Egan, Sam Shipley and John Whitledge for men’s wear, and Devi Kroell for accessories.

I opened up the simpson pic because I wanted to see what the commentator was talking about (it not being a cocktail party)…
…is it just me, or can you actually sort of see her nipple?!

I think someone needs to tell Scarlet that she looks INCREDIBLE as a brunette. WOW! I never thought she was that hot, but she looks 100 times better with the dark hair.

Hmm last I checked Jessica Simpson’s stylist was Jessica Paster. The infamous coke-snorting stylist. Maybe she fired Paster and hired Zoe? I dunno

Evidently your not aware that the designers picked the dresses they wanted the stars to wear. It was not their stylist.

“Doofus”…that’s the first thing I saw was a itty bitty peek at a nipple in that Jessica Simpson picture….put those things away already Jess!

All those people look the same.
Same skin, same smile, same haircut, same fake boobs….HIDEOUS!

Couldn’t agree more about beige. So boring. Suppose it’s the safe choice for a night out. Mind you if you have a great tan it can sometimes look great.
Cheers

Beige is for blondes. Think Grace Kelly. Everyone else looks washed out and dull.I have had black (natural) and ice white blonde hair and black is sexy, sexy sexy!
Cheers
