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.

Me 'n My 'Fro: On Being Natural - How it began

I mentioned the first article I wrote   about my hair that I would share with you my hair journey curvy divas. For the next couple of Wednesdays, that is what I will do on this blog.  If you are black aka African American as we say here in the United States (technically, I'm Caribbean-American), you know the ins and outs of our hair journeys. The success, when you rock your hair and look fierce; the woes, when you just give up and put on a hat!lol! And even wear a hat, just because you wanna rock that new hat!   I have always had what some called "a head full of hair", so much that the authenticity of my hair came into question quite a couple of times.  My mom loved to style our hair (my sisters and me) and would always have her girls looking beautiful in ribbons and hair clips where ever we went!   There are two incidents I remember distinctly, as a child, and as an adult.  Once in Primary school (that is Elementary here in the USA), a teach...

Found: The TShirt Dress

I found myself at the Mall of Millenia, a high-end mall the other day, Amanda and I went on a little adventure at which I was very excited. This mall is a bit farther away from us so we don't get there as often. It was about time I visited H&M...oh my love for that store has increased!!!  While I was there, I wanted to grab a handful of clothing and run to the fitting room, but I had a hard time finding my size.  Where were the larger sizes for us curvy girls??!!  I thought there was a sectioned for plus size-didn't see if one and couldn't find sizes for me. Jersey Maxi Dress w/raw edges at arms & slit It was a busy place so I couldn't ask anyone who worked there (I saw so few employees), but the store was pretty busy... however after looking around, I saw a dress I liked, a large was the largest size, I picked one in each color, a black and a grey;  it was a tee-shirt style, cotton-jersey material; with a round neckline and a slit that had me won...
