Hot! or Hmm…: Jennifer Lopez, Chrisette Michele, Santigold, and more!

The fashionable were all over the style map this weekend, preening in everything from ultra-sexy evening gowns to “Grease”-inspired getups to demure tea party frocks. So who wore what (and how well did they wear it)?

jennifer_lopez_40th_birthday

Can y’all believe Jennifer Lopez is 40 years old? The multi-hyphenate celebrated the big b-day with hubby Marc Anthony in NYC in a cut-out goddess number with plunging neckline and braided embellishments that matched her braided up ‘do. We know that “body-bearing” is one of Jenny’s favorite silhouettes but I give it to her for showing the world how to be 40 and fab–quite hawte! BTW, um, doesn’t Marc look like he can’t wait to get his wife home, mm-Hmmm…;-)

eva_mendes_vida_macys_launch

Actress Eva Mendes added “designer” to her resumé with the launch of her new line of home goods, Vida, at Macys in NYC this weekend. The Latina stunner graced the red carpet in a prim floral A-line number with nude platform sandals and a turquoise ring to add a pop of color. It’s a lovely frock, and maybe we’re used to seeing Eva rocking the bombshell look, but this feels a bit safe and a little boring–is it just me? Hmm…

naomie_harris_cartier_international_polo_day

British thesp Naomie Harris wore a lady-like ivory and black lace-trimmed Dolce & Gabbana number to Cartier’s International Polo Day in England. Peep-toe D’Orsay pumps and a black leather clutch make for subtle yet elegant accessories. I think the wind was blowing her hair out of order so we’ll overlook the messy locks. Overall, quite chic and hot for the new-to-the-Bomb diva!

santigold_paleo_festival

Haven’t seen singer-songwriter Santigold on the scene in a minute but she popped up at Switzerland’s Paleo Festival in her typical offbeat style. Garbed in a zany printed onesie, gold Jeremy Scott Adidas Originals, and doorknockers, she reminds us that her aesthetic is in the realm of Erykah’s, Lady Gaga’s, and Macy Gray’s, where clothing is more of a performance art. It’s…interesting. I’m a sneaker head so I dig the kicks but as for the onesie…who knows? Maybe she’s ahead of the curve and onesies are the next “It” item (hey, if the Snuggie made it)…

chrisette_michele_106__park_taping

Finally, cutie Chrisette Michele taped “106 & Park” late last week and channeled Rizzo mixed with a little biker chic for a look that was playfully edgy. Boyfriend jeans, corset-like booties, and a tough LBJ (Little Black Jacket) are softened by Chrisette’s old-school pin curl ‘do. Very cute look for the talented R&B artist!

Splurge of the Day: Jimmy Choo Karina Studded Shoe Boots

When studded shoes made their way onto the runways, there was no looking back. These Jimmy Choo’s are fierce and flawless examples:

At $1,095 they’re quite the splurge, but they’re bound to be classics.  Pair these with a flowy summer frock and a black leather jacket for a chic and edgy look. You can probably give Rih Rih a run for her money…sans le haircut.

Jourdan has made quite a splash in her short career, being named British Fashion Awards’ 2008 Model of the Year, stomping for Prada after a 10 year black model drought, and gracing the cover of Italian Vogue’s historic All Black issue.

Do you think this signals the end of her career?

Rip the Runway: Alexander Wang vs Bebe

For such a relative newcomer to the fashion scene, it’s a little surprising that Alexander Wang has had so many mass-produced dresses “inspired” by pieces from his collections. Celebrities like Lala and Kim Kardashian flock to his frocks, so it’s not hard to believe that he’s being imitated.

aw-vs-bebe

Bebe’s Sweetheart Mesh Bodice Dress comes close to Alexander Wang’s with a slit at the bottom and mesh material at the top.  Without a doubt, Bebe’s is much more R-word friendly.  But which one would you rather rock on a hot night out with the girls?
