The secret to wearing sequins and not looking like a cabaret singer is in the tailoring: stick to contemporary cuts that don’t have boxy, undefined shapes, and examine how the sequins are applied to the piece (chances are you want to stay away if they’re not incorporated with another material like silk or jersey, or if there’s no variation and the fabric looks more like a sequin carpet).
Enjoy getting your shine on 😉

Who wins the chic award this week?
Kelly’s recording career may be over, but the former Destiny’s Child has landed on her feet as a judge and co-host of Bravo’s new Reality Program The Fashion Show:
She, along with Isaac Mizrahi and Fern Mallis of IMG will judge 15 competitors as they cut, sew, and backstab their way to a $125,000 prize and a chance to sell their clothes at retail stores.
Hmmm…sounds like a recast Project Runway. And the judges for Proj Run made sense. Heidi Klum: Fashion Model. Tim Gunn: Professor at Parsons. Nina Garcia: Elle (now Marie Claire) Magazine. Michael Kors: Iconic American Fashion Designer.
Isaac and Fern make sense but what in the world does Kelly have to do with fashion? She’s stylish enough, but hmm…will have to see about this one!

Earlier this week, Canadian rapper/actor Maestro Fresh Wes was spotted on the red carpet at the Juno Awards (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammys).
While I like the pin-stripe suit and the fact that the blazer button rule was adhered to, something about the fit of his suit and the shoes make me go hmm…Â I think he could have been more dapper with minor adjustments.
What do you guys think?

Hey!
So if you’re a veteran Fashion Bomb reader, you may remember a video I shot one Fashion Week where I interviewed a young designer named LaQuan Smith:
Well, Mr. Smith is still producing his line LaQueue, which includes sequined tube dresses, vinyl jump suits, ruffled tops, and metallic separates made for the girl who wants to stand out:
Perfect for the party circuit, his frocks and tops are favored by friends like Aubrey O’Day:

They’re on this side of the pond for the G20 summit, and Michelle wore her signature pearls along with a J.Crew Constellation Cardigan and Dazzling Dots Pencil Skirt:
Her better half went for a classic look, donning a navy suit and striped tie.
I heart them.
