Curvy Divas at the Golden Globes & Other Favorite Fashion Moments

The Golden Globes Awards were on Sunday night curvy divas, and being one of my favorite award shows, hosted by two of my favorite comediennes, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler, I had to watch!   Loving fashion as much as I do, I tuned in to see what the actresses were wearing on the red carpet.  They turned out in their finest gowns and jewelry.  It was great to see bright colors as worn by Sandra Bullock in Prabal Gurung (pictured below), Amy Adams (pictured below) in Valentino and Julie Bowen in Carolina Herrera, wore color-blocked gowns.

Julia Roberts wore Dolce & Gabbana, I loved that she wore a white button down shirt with her strapless gown. The fashion commentators hated it, but who cares?!  She loved it and rocked her style with confidence.

Kerry Washington was the best looking baby-mama on the carpet for me.  I liked her Balenciaga gown which was appropriate and flattering for her pregnancy.

Sophia Vergara wore the best statement necklace, a turquoise collar by her favorite red carpet jeweler, Lorraine Schwartz; and a Zac Posen ballgown was beautiful

This actress' look was a crowd favorite and I agree.  Lupita Nyong'o wore her dress well!

The three notable curvy divas on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, namely, Gabourey Sidibe, Melissa McCarthy and Lena Dunham, were quite varied in their styles. I like that they each took their own style risks while staying true to who they were.

Our curvy divas didn't get a lot of love from the fashion commentators, or even the viewers, which was rather sad. Being "out there"(society) in the limelight as a woman who doesn't fit the mold of what Hollywood demands can be quite a daunting task, however, these women are doing it - rock on curvy divas! 

What do you think curvy divas? Whose look did you like best?  Do you agree with what was said about what our curvy actresses wore?

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

I like reviewing my Style-looks to see how my fashion has progressed, what clothing I intend to keep during my #Showmeyourcloset make over (more on this soon) and also just in case I have to re-think my style strategy when in work-mode. There are good days when my looks are on pointe, and those moments when I wonder what the heck was I thinking with a look that I wore! That may have happened to you as well at times curvy divas?! You know, when the clothing you wore makes you go...WTF?!  This was not how I envisioned this look. I can't wait to get home to take it off!lol! Been there, done that so many times! haha

The Look: New Year's Eve the Weddington Way

Picture this curvy divas, your friend is getting married on New Year's Eve, oh the joy! Then she asks you to be her bridesmaid, and guess what else?  No, not wear that same bouffant dress from her cousin's wedding, oh the horror.  You will be able to create your very own bridesmaid style, your way!!!! Your instructions are, since you are ready for this adventure, "You have to select from the bride's choice of dresses".   All you have to do is accessorize!!!!  This beautiful champagne lace dress from Weddington Way is the one!  Picture this, I'm thinking  monochromatic & luxe femininity . H owever, do not outshine the bride, that's always a no-no! The Weddington Way Nora Dress: A perfect choice.   Gorgeous, lace styling, monochromatic, yet luxe - you could style this many ways. Weddington Way Nora Bridesmaid dress in Champagne  Our choices: Lace gloves:   What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of lux

Vintage Vogue

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....! I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below. These were my  favorite looks from a  Vogue  magazine issue from August 2006 , six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love  flipping  through the pages!  These  looks are so fresh today !!  Vogue  featured the color combination of  "The  Red  is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time!
