Grammy Looks - My Favorite Dresses

Did you watch the Grammy Awards last night curvy divas?  It was fantastic!  Part of the magic of the Grammys is watching the stars walk the Red Carpet and they did not disappoint.  There were a few looks I liked a lot, however, two looks were my favorite of the night!

The first look, this diva can be a handful with her personal life, but her music is still rocking!  I love dancing to it and enjoy watching her videos!  Who am I talking about curvy divas?  Well, it's Rihanna of course!

The color was a bright red, so apt for her personality!  The fact that their was this "memo" that went out telling people how not to dress, she definitely skirted around it by wearing this sheer number which although it covered up nicely, showed enough skin!  

Yahoo Music reviewer gave graded her dress an A for this dress and I agree!

The second dress which I also liked was worn by Adele! The Y! Music writer (Yahoo music) did a dis-service to Adele and called her dress frumpy!!!!  Frumpy?!!! Just because it's a floral patterned?  Just because it's not showing any skin?  Just because...really?

Her grade was a D and I disagree!  Not everyone has to show their body parts, and dress in sheer and revealing clothing.  I particularly love the color combination of her dress. For someone who has just recently had a baby, she looks really good, in my opinion!  What would have made this dress frumpy is if it were a long gown.  That would have been over the top, however, it is tea or cocktail length!

The color brightens her face, her shoes are a match (cool) and without even trying too hard, she's showing off her curves! 

If I were to update this look more, personally, I would have worn four-inch black heels with an envelope purse  and large hoops. My hair would be in a sleek high pony tail! But that's just me! (and even then someone might just not like it!) So this goes without saying curvy divas, if you love it, and you're confident with yourself, go for it and rock your look!  Adele sure did!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
