Ester Dean is usually behind the scenes penning songs for Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and many more, but she took some time in the spotlight at the 60th Annual BMI Pop Awards in Beverly Hills. She won “Songwriter of the Year” in a $765 Alexander Wang Engineered Intarsia Top:
Her top features a sheer layering top with an intarsia pattern and a striped hem and cuffs.
It was styled with all-white on the runway. You might recognize those pumps because our very own Claire owns them!
Not sure what is going on with Ester’s harem pant situation, but the sweater is definitely hot! Her look would have been rounded out nicely with a pair of black skinnies or even a black pencil skirt.
If you’re up for the splurge, you can get her top at www.nordstrom.com.

Alex writes, “I love this sleeveless trench Rihanna tweeted the other day!” “I know it probably costs a grip but who is the designer? Are there any cheaper alternatives that will give me a similar look? Thanks so much!”
How cute are Rihanna and her momma?? At any rate, Rihanna stepped out for a somewhat casual Mother’s Day in a full on Alexander Wang outfit, balancing $143 T by Alexander Wang cotton knit sweatpants with the brand’s Spring 2010 sleeveless trench coat vest.
Because Rihanna’s trench is an archived piece, it’s no longer available for purchase, though it debuted back in 2009 as the Spring 2010 runway show’s first look, modeled by Mirte Maas.
Her pants, similar to these, feature ribbed cuffs and a covered elastic waistband.
She completed the look with a graphic t-shirt, dark sunglasses, and her favorite Manolo Blahnik sandals.

Thursday, Betsey’s entire design team was sent off with a celebration of champagne and, of course, cupcakes. Six weeks ago, several freelancers as well as full-time employees were let go. (ELLE)
• Baby gift e-tailer My1stYears.com has written an open letter to Posh Spice’s youngest, Harper Beckham, begging the nine-month-old to use her still-developing faculties, and sign on as a child model for the brand. Emily Standford, an employee of My1stYears, writes, “From what we have seen of you since your first public appearance less than a year ago, we know you have implacable style and taste. You were therefore the immediate first choice for our campaign. Due to child labour laws we cannot negotiate a contract or salary directly with you, that is why your Mummy and Daddy have been copied in on this letter. We are happy to speak with them about your fee; however, we are prepared to pay you a significant amount to be the face of our new range.” (Telegraph)
• Finally, after a slew of photo and video teasers, Rihanna has released her music video for “Where Have You Been,” and her dancing ain’t half bad. Nor is that Emilio Pucci beaded body suit she’s wiping the floor with. (Rihanna VEVO)
Hey!
So yesterday morning I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Wendy Williams Show!
Wendy typically talks to bloggers and other members of the press as part of her ‘Aftershow,’ and I was granted the wonderful opportunity to chat with the media maven about her favorite stores, shoe brands for women with larger feet, and her experience playing ‘Gail’ in Think Like a Man.
Take a look:
The reality starlet and Think Like a Man star invited Anna Wintour to take in a game at Madison Square Garden.
Of course she blessed the occasion by sporting a flurry of her favorite labels. She slipped on a black zip jacket and what appears to be a $165 Elizabeth And James Lindy Twist Back Tank and $360 Helmut Lang Drawstring Pants:
She accessorized with the super popular $795 Christian Louboutin Unbout Illusion pumps in neon yellow, dark shades, and a $780 Alexander Wang Jane Shoulder Bag.
Her oversized, V-neck jersey Elizabeth and James tank features an extended front hem and a draped, sheer silk-chiffon back overlay.
Helmut Lang’s pants have a drawstring waist, slash pockets, and a zippered ankle.
Her now sold out pumps are a favorite of Beyonce, Rita Ora, and more, thanks to its fluorescent patent leather and clear PVC upper.
Alexander Wang’s washed leather top zip shoulder bag has side zip pouches, an outer zip pocket, and polished nickel-tone hardware throughout.
If you’re not yet suffering from label overload, get her look here:
