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.

The next look, a white Versace Tuxedo pantsuit, was a knock-out for Miley Cyrus, in my opinion. After the tumulteous year of having her looks and style in not so great reviews she wore this edgy look well.  By not wearing a shirt, she received a lot of misses from some reviewers but I said, "You go Miley"!

Rihanna's look was definitely her.  It was definitely a combination of syles with the lace see-through fishtail skirt and a bandeau bra top.  And yes, the Doubie styled hair I did an entire article dedicated to that look!

My favorite look of the night was Jordin Sparks! Her black and gold leather top dress with gladiator heels, hair and makeup were perfect!

Jennifer Hudson rocked it in a bright hued (Tangerine) dress from Dior. Her hi-lo dress was an asymmetrical cut.

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...
