Hey,
Voting is go sooo well for the Contest! I love how the poll gives results right after you vote; and how the system’s set up so overzealous supporters can’t vote more than once. Genius! Voting ends tomorrow morning!
Until then, I’m gonna take a quick break from ‘Real Style’ to talk about a hot red carpet trend: embellishments.
Stars have truly been shining lately, donning frocks and tops decorated with stones, sequins, gromments, and crystals. Let’s take a look:
Ciara…
Kelly Rowland…
..looks scintillating in a midnight blue strapless dress peppered with black crystals at the 2007 European Music Awards in Germany.
Kerry Washington…

…is simply divine in this silver stoned number at the ACE awards last night in NYC (and I’m lovin her Christian Louboutin Bling Bling Peep-Toe Pumps…too bad they’re $1,325!)
And Alicia Keys…
…shines in a floor length gray sequined gown.
If you want a more casual embellished look, Cassie does it well…
… wearing jeans with a simple yet chic stone decorated top at the MTV awards.
And Toccara gets in on the trend….
..with a chocolate brown sequined tank.
