Curvy Looks at the 2015 Golden Globes

You and I both know how difficult it is to decide what to wear when you have an event to attend curvy divas.  We must consider the type of event and wear clothing that is appropriate.  Our goal is always style first, then comfort, especially depending on the weather conditions.

Do you think it is the same for actresses and celebrities too? Although they do have stylists and designers to doth on them, I'm sure they worry about what they are going to wear, and how they will look. Add to that, what we, the public, and especially those fashion critics will say about their style choices.

Tonight is one of the most glamorous moments for Hollywood film & television stars, The Golden Globe Awards. I had to check out the curvy looks on the Red Carpet.

Melissa McCarthy's style is a "DIY" (do-it-yourself) style. Do you think it is from her upcoming curvy fashion line?  She styled her gown the way she wanted it to look, and you know what.....?

I LOVE it!  I like that Melissa's look is a non-traditional look for the red carpet. The detailing on the skirt is not too overdone.  The blouson shirt also has details such as the bishop sleeves, a bow- with the right touch of glitter, and which complements the collar for a finished look. Some may think this style is totally wrong, however, her silhouette is leaner and her do-it-yourself detailing makes for greater appeal, in my opinion.  Her side-swept ponytail is the perfect hair style as well.  Her accessories are on point, including those cocktail rings!

Actress Lena Dunham is wearing a Zac Posen (hi-lo) dress.  While I like the color, what a gorgeous red it is, and the sati-sheen finish of the dress adds glamour to her look, I am however, not fond of the fit of the dress on her.  The boxy style gives an odd shape to the bodice of the dress.  I'm in love with her pointed-toe-Peter-Pan looking shoes. I would have love to see her in long, shoulder-sweeper earrings with this look.

The ever so curvy Jennifer Lopez has me going ga-ga over her smoldering looks in a Zuhair Murad gown.  She is walking and styling s-e-x-y! Oh la la. My favorite look on the red carpet!

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...
