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!

Honorary mention goes to Kerry Washington and Sienna Miller, their dresses are amazing!  To see what Kerry and Sienna wore, and for more style looks on the red carpet, go to Marie Southard Ospina's article on bustle.com, Golden Globe Dresses at the 2015 Awards are Glam and Chic.

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.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
