Who Wore it Better? Kerry vs. Rihanna in Louis Vuitton

Who doesn’t love a little Louis V? Rihanna and Kerry Washington both seem to be fans of the line’s Fall 2009 skirt:

Rihanna wore the piece in raspberry for the Third Annual OKMS Gala, and Kerry chose cream for an event in Cannes.

I like Rihanna’s pop of color, but Kerry’s shoe choice is a much better look in my book.

Let them Eat Cupcakes: Swedish Photogs Bake Fashion Inspired Desserts

Swedish photog Therese Aldgård and prop stylist Lisa Edsälv decided to bake and photograph cupcakes in designer style. Apparently it took them three days to fashion these yummy creations inspired by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Betsey Johnson, Agent Provocateur, and Christian Louboutin:

We all saw Sheree with her Louis Vuitton cake, but for some reason this idea seems a tad more classy. Don’t you think?

I’m drooling just looking at them!

Look for Less : Beyonce’s Cream Military Style Balmain Jacket

Beyonce continues to show her allegiance to Balmain, wearing a white cream military style jacket from the line for a London outing with hubby Jay-Z:

While I like Beyonce’s other more Michael Jackson-esque Military Jacket, this ones seems more versatile. And it’s a bit cheaper at $3,564!

Real Style : Gibus

Hey Guys!

So this weekend, I hit up a party for a French rapper called Disiz:

It was at a cool club called Gibus (www.gibus.fr) by Place de la Republique. I didn’t have my camera with me (shame!), but did get a few friends to snap some Real Style. Check it:

Kanye West’s presence is felt even overseas…

These girls were so sweet! I liked young lady on the left’s jumper and hair, and the exotic print skirt on the right.

gibus-vogue

I spied lots of oversized t-shirts, but appreciate this guy’s nod to Vogue!

Can’t go wrong with sunglasses inside and a cute swept up do…

And guys seem to love logo t’s and baseball hats…even if they’re not from the States!

Lastly, these girls represented in sunglasses and fun t’s. Cute looks for a great night!

What do you think of Parisian club style?

Hot! or Hmm…: Zoe Saldana, Kerry Washington, Carine Roitfeld, Kim Kardashian

Hey y’all,
It’s Memorial Day weekend so the fashionable are in far-flung exotic locales, from Antibes to Atlantic City. Although no one seems to have taken a vacation from fashion, the pickings for Hot or Hmm are a bit slim since everyone seems to be kicking back and enjoying the first unofficial weekend of summer. Let’s take a look at who did come out, shall we?

zoe_saldana_amfar_gala

Zoe Saldana continued her quest to dominate the global red carpet in Antibes at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, where the Bomb fave donned a complicated, nude colored frock with black and gold, high-heeled sandals. Her simple accessories and hairstyle throw her dramatic features into stark relief, and while it’s hard for the stunning Zoe to look all the way bad, the voluminous drape of fabric on the left side of the dress seems to swallow the effect of the outfit instead of making a statement, Hmm…

Also at the amfAR gala, Kerry Washington sported a close-fitting, floor-length gown with an intricate deco print in what appears to be silver brocade. Love her gold clutch and loos, romantic waves but something about the cut of this dress is a little staid and dowdy, even though I love the print. I’d really like to see Kerry take more fashion risks, Hmm…

kim_kardashian_the_pool_harrahs

The weekend wouldn’t be complete without a Kim Kardashian sighting, this time visiting of The Pool club at Harrah’s. The silhouette of this dress makes Kim appear a bit fuller than what she really is, and even though I think the fabric is interesting and love her chunky bangles, it’s a tad awkward, Hmm…

carine_roitfeld_dolce_and_gabbana_dinner

Finally, fashion editrix extraordinaire Carine Roitfeld had a rare Hmm moment at the Dolce & Gabbana dinner for the Cannes Film Festival. Her asymmetrical, one-shoulder wrap, hot pants, sheer hose, and gladiator heels might each work separately but, together, not so much.
Thoughts?

Swagger Mondays: Yann

Today Swagger brings us a picture of Yann, a consummate Parisian fashionisto:

yann-1

Homeboy is working some very *ahem* tailored Cheap Monday jeans, leather boots, a vintage jacket, and a Dolce & Gabbana polka dot silk scarf. Lots of hot accessories, but I think the best part of this look is his confidence.  The thumbs in the pockets and slightly off kilter stance communicate a certain pride that makes this ensemble special.
