Manstyle: Tuxedos at the Oscars

The 86th Academy Awards aka The Oscars, also popularly trended on Twitter as Oscars2014 and other aliases, hosted by one of my favorite entertainer, Ellen DeGeneres, has fast become one of my favorite award shows so far this year. Did you watch curvy divas?  I even watched the stars appearances on the Red Carpet before the show.  While everyone will be focusing on who wore the best gown, my focus is who wore the best tuxedo! Let me preface that in searching for the perfect photos of these gorgeous men in tuxedos, I found two blogs with the same focus, featuring the stylish well-dressed men from the Oscars (you know what they say about great minds....)!  The first blogger's name is Marco Paulo Silva and his blog Royal Fashionist, and the second, celebrity gossip blog, The YBF. 

All in all the men on the red carpet turned out in their finest and were on par with the women on Oscar night. Without further ado, here are a few good men and the looks they wore:

The men who wore white or off white tuxedos, on the left, a winner that night, Matthew McConaughey, wore what we Jamaicans call, "a three-piece suit" because he had a vest underneath.  The vest in black added some contrast to Matthew's style, nicely done in my opinion.

Center-stage is Ryan Seacrest who was on the Red Carpet Live for E TV that night.   I loved his butter-cream off white tuxedo jacket. That was quite a stylish look.

Far right is actor Jared Leto who was also a winner that night, wore a white tuxedo as well, with an added contrast, a red bow tie. That's quite a fashionable flair!

Other mentions, Kevin Spacey in blue tuxedo looked quite fashionable as well.  Go to Marcos' website to read his views and see other photographs. Here


Rapper and entertainment mogul (in my head that is his title) Pharrell Williams wore a bermuda shorts tuxedo.  Can you say..."Wow"! I love his fashion dare which has made for quite a discussion amongst the fashion-talking-heads out there!  Some liked it, many did not. Personally I loved it!  Believe it or not, the bermuda shorts is quite a popular way of dressing for many people in Europe and the Caribbean; and not just in Bermuda!  To read about the origin of the bermuda shorts, go here.

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...
