Khloe Kardashian Covers YRB Magazine

It looks like Khloe is making a little noise on the cover YRB magazine. No longer does the 26-year-old want to stand in the shadows of her sister Kim. I noticed Khloe trying to stand out when she showed up to the People's Choice Awards with red hair. I initially hated it but the color looks great now! I don't know how much they photo shopped the pics but her body looks amazing! Check out the pics below.

Lady in Red

Two nights ago the lovely and always fabulous Michelle Obama wore a red Alexander McQueen dress to the state dinner for President Hu Jintao of China. Mrs. Obama's sense of style has been likened to the late but oh so fabulous Jackie Kennedy Onasis. I'm really happy that Mrs. Obama doesn't hide behind frumpy clothes, she has a great shape, nice arms and she likes to show them off! Like her or not, our FLOTUS is fabulous! As you can see in the pictures below, Mrs. Obama wears red well!

What other FLOTUS has been on the cover of glamour?

Happy Birthday to our Fashionable First Lady Michelle Obama

Today is the birthday of our Fabulously Fashionable First Lady Michelle Obama. Oh how I love her. Join me in wishing her a very Happy Birthday! We love you. :)

Golden Globe Awards 2011 Fashion Faux Pas

So once again I didn't watch the awards but I did check out the fashions and I WAS NOT impressed. Who the hell dressed these celebs. I can say that I HATED most of the dresses on the red carpet. My list of looks I loved is much shorter than the list I hated. There was one dress that I can say I hated the most but I'll save that for last. Eva Longoria (pictured above) was my favorite. She looked AMAZING in Zac Posen. I can hear my mother's voice as I write this "who made you a fashion critic" lol. She thinks I'm too critical.

Katherine Zeta Jones (my next fav) in Monique Lhuillier was stunning

 

Megan Fox is amazing in Armani Prive

And now for the looks that I didn't care for.....

Emma Stone in Jenny Packham this was just a bad color choice. Looks like a second layer of skin




Julianne Moore in Lanvin I just don't like it



Sandra Bullock, why is your dress so frumpy and your bangs so long?

Tina Fey should just start wearing jeans and shoot her stylist. She gets it wrong constantly. What's up with the hair?

And finally, the biggest FAIL of the night goes to

Michelle Willams in what they say is Valentino (must be from the college days) Who thought this was a good idea? But, the hair is nice.

Looks We Love: Lala Vasquez Anthony

Also at the Critics Choice Award was Lala Vasquez Anthony and she LOOKED STUNNING! I've always thought she was a beautiful woman but she looked amazing at the awards. Her ring is beautiful!

Looks We Love: Keri Hilson

Keri Hilson looked stunning at the Critics Choice Award. I don't know who her dress and shoes are by but as soon as I find out I'll update. I love Ms. Keri Baby (as she calls herself) she's absolutely gorgeous and happens to be an artist that I actually listen to.

Nikki Minaj Cover V Magazine

Now I'm the first to admit that I'm no Nikki Minaj fan but I have to give credit where it's due, I LOVE her spread in V. I think Nikki is a beautiful woman but we rarely get to see it because she's wearing clown hair and crazy make-up. Although she's wearing weird make-up in several of these pictures you can still see her true beauty. I must admit that after seeing her special on MTV I have a new respect for her!

She looks GORGEOUS right here!

I don't get it but ok

This is a really pretty pic of her as well

2011 People's Choice Awards

First things first, Happy New Decade. 5 days into a new decade and I haven't wished you well, shame on me! Hope you all had a great holiday season!

I didn't make it through the entire awards show yesterday, honestly, I wasn't that interested. I did stay long enough to see some of the fashions and I noticed that a lot of the women wore short dresses! Here are some of my favs.

Emma Roberts

The Kardashians and Khloe

Kristen Stewart

Maggie

Mila Kunis

Selena Gomez

Taylor Swift

 On another note, I thought the dress  that the stylist put Queen Latifah in was all wrong for her body type. She looked like a linebacker and also like she had a bullet proof vest underneath.
