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.

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
