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?

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

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.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
