Kelly Rowland played host at the “Hotel Noir” Exclusive Launch Event for GREY GOOSE Cherry Noir in New York City. The crowd was full of tastemakers in the fashion, music, and entertainment industries.
Let’s see what the ladies and gents were wearing shall we?
Kelly Rowland was the lady of the evening, and looked the part in a red halter gown. She accessorized with white ankle-strap sandals–perhaps not the best pairing with such an elegant gown.
Cobalt was Jessica White’s shade of choice and she wore an interesting off the shoulder dress with a cutout neckline. Though I do like the 80′s feel of the dress and the color definitely works for her, the neckline looks a bit unfinished. The face is giving me Naomi, though. Am I alone?
Estelle mixed textures in a white blazer, lace blouse, shorts, MCM clutch, and printed booties. I normally love her bold style, but this look has entirely too much going on!
Vashtie Kola paired a printed vintage dress and vintage boots with a Genevieve Jones clutch. Though she could have opted for more delicate footwear, you have to take Vashtie’s style into account: she hardly ever wears dresses! Rita Ora might have taken a few fashion nods from her as Vashtie has been doing the Jordans and tomboy-inspired look for years.
Dee and Ricky stopped by the event. They always go for eccentric looks and keep it fresh. Their new pieces are letter plush brooches, hence Dee’s alphabet-laden look.
Kenny Burns rarely misses a hot party and he looked fresh in a checkered shirt, bow tie, vest, and trousers. Burgundy velvet loafers finished off his look, though my choice would have been to keep it pared down with a black pair.
Last, but not least was Angie Martinez who kept it simple in $198 Rag & Bone Tuxedo Stripe Skinny Jeans and $625 Christian Louboutin Pigalle Pumps. Cute!
What do you think? Who had your favorite looks?
May 24, 2012 2:34 pm
All bad! Kelly’s look would have been great with a black heel. The others didn’t do so well either. Vashtie look like she came straight out of the 70′s.
May 24, 2012 2:36 pm
why is Estelle so tacky? WHY?
May 24, 2012 2:37 pm
jessica white… white as in ashy.
May 24, 2012 2:45 pm
I love Va$htie’s look. Since she hardly does wear dresses, and always favors a more “tomboyish” shoe, I think this look is very appropriate for her. Angie looks great, too.
May 24, 2012 2:47 pm
sigh. Idk where to start so I will just end.
May 24, 2012 3:41 pm
Estelle and Jessica rarely get it right *sigh*
May 24, 2012 3:42 pm
Jessica White always looks a mess.
May 24, 2012 3:54 pm
Kelly takes it!!!!
One thing I noticed, instead of looking at the good thing and we tend to just look at the bad one like (J.White) smh
May 24, 2012 4:13 pm
I’m so confused by Jessica White. She’s a supermodel, she’s gorgeous, why does she look so bad when she goes anywhere? Seriously.
Vashtie would have looked edgier in her signature curls.
That’s all I got since Kelly’s shoes are making me weep.
May 24, 2012 4:14 pm
Love Kelly’s outfit except for the shoes
May 24, 2012 4:14 pm
Estelle doing way too much as usual. Kelly always manages to eff up what would be a hot look, and I’m not even gonna bother with the rest.
May 24, 2012 4:20 pm
It bugs the hell out of me when prints are not lined symmetrically. I know petty, but that ish drives me crazy.
May 24, 2012 4:45 pm
Not feeling none of these looks. Kelly’s shoe choice were bad and Jessica White, she never gets it for me AND she’s a model too (not runway but I guess that explains it)…I mean c’mon.
May 24, 2012 5:18 pm
Jessica White is serving the kids Lark Voorhies makeup yaaas lmao:

May 24, 2012 5:25 pm
Why Jessica, wh!>???? somebody please help her, smh I can’t deal.
May 24, 2012 5:52 pm
oh jihan…. lol i saw that photo and didnt know how to react, literally grasping for words…
just look at the photo of Claire showing J.White how you work colbalt. hell, showing her how to work a dress.
May 24, 2012 5:52 pm
Why are Estelle’s knees ashy girl lotion up or better yet put some vaseline on it works better on us black folk!
May 24, 2012 6:53 pm
Angie looks like a pirate
May 24, 2012 7:57 pm
-1′
May 24, 2012 8:02 pm
I know Estelle does her own thing,but there is a way to be original and look good too. She should find a stylist who can do that. She needs to ask Cassie and Rihanna bout that.
May 24, 2012 8:06 pm
So we’re just gonna act like Jessica White’s not rocking Rudy Huxtable bangs? We’re gonna let her get away with that? Ok.
May 24, 2012 8:50 pm
Vashtie Kola is gorgeous!!!
May 24, 2012 9:50 pm
All of them are bad. Don’t get me started on Estelle and Jessica White. You see guys sometimes, it has noting to do with money or expensive things. You can be a label addict and have all the money in the world or even a great stylist and the outfit simply was not meant for you. You have to carry an outfit and not the opposite.
May 24, 2012 9:52 pm
Kelly definitely stole the show!
May 24, 2012 9:59 pm
Kelly looks amazing….sans the shoes, smh….
May 24, 2012 10:32 pm
Estelle looks confused and needs a stylist ASAP! love her music tho!
May 24, 2012 11:15 pm
Kelly looks great minus those tragic white shoes. Estelle, my belle what the hell are you wearing? Jessica White looks like she’s wearing a Halloween costume. I can’t with the rest of these fools.
May 25, 2012 12:05 am
@Jihan…..Lark has a skin disorder..its not bad makeup..please you guys should leave her alone. her case isn’t from “bleaching” or bad makeup or botched plastic surgery,its internal..something internal is wrong with her and thus affecting her skin…its likely to be lupus or something within that area. as for Jessica White, her case is bad makeup, bad stylist, bad fashion taste, bad contacts, and bad weave
May 25, 2012 5:33 am
Kelly is simply beautiful! Love the whole outfit and her face is pretty as hell! Sans faute :)
May 25, 2012 7:23 am
Yes Brittany yes she does! a tacky ashy mess.
May 25, 2012 7:54 am
Jessica White is so gorgeous but she always looks a hot mess. I like Estelle’s outfit minus the shoes.
May 25, 2012 8:25 am
Nothing inspired me at all with these look.
May 25, 2012 9:13 am
WHY WHY Estelle cant get it together, I have not YET seen a mind blowing look from her, and I thought she be cooling it with June Ambrose? … *sigh
May 25, 2012 9:49 am
I want to laugh right now what the heck is JW wearing oh my geez horrendous
May 25, 2012 10:18 am
All of them look a hot mess!
May 25, 2012 10:53 am
Vashtie Kola! Everybody else….no comment.
May 25, 2012 12:02 pm
You’re right…Jessica is giving me a bit of Naomi in the face ONLY.
May 25, 2012 1:06 pm
Angie Martinez looks great as usual and Jessica White looks great. Not feeling the rest of them.
May 26, 2012 8:45 pm
The best dressed here is definitely Kelly is dress is gorgeous but those white shoes took it from an perfect 10 to somewhere in the 7 range; the two pieces battle for attention.
May 29, 2012 4:03 am
Estelle is fu**ing cool. What do you Americans know? At least she looks black and hasn’t got a self hating shitt* weave on her head! Kelly looks good too.
You would think from these pics that all black women in america are light skin and have long [cough laugh laugh] hair.
You guys have really been brainwashed to think your nappy, short hair ain’t good enough. So sad that you could be leading the way yet you fall into such ugly stereotypes

Estelle is a damn mess. Lord Jesus please do something for her..
Jessica White made me laugh.
But I love Vashtie Kola’s outfit. It’s different..
