Who rocked it hotter: Camille Guaty vs. Keke Palmer in ADAM

Actresses Camille Guaty and Keke Palmer are the latest to wear the same dress at red carpet events. And the choice of dress was this multicolor, beaded deep V-neck dress by ADAM. Camille first wore it in April at the Los Angeles premiere of “Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past” at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California. She accessorized with strappy silver sandals and a slicked back ponytail. Keke wore the same dress, accessorized with Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels and a curly updo this past weekend at Nickelodeon’s 23rd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards. Both looked great but which actress do you think wore it better?

Star style: Rihanna and her multiple wardrobe changes

If there’s anyone that can do multiple wardrobe changes without even being on stage, it’s Rihanna. The singer was spotted around town in four, count ‘em – four different looks yesterday.

First, she was spotted leaving MTV Studios in new York City wearing this Alexander McQueen Asymmetric-Stripe Sweater Dress. She was there to tape an interview for It’s On With Alexa Chung.

Rihanna was later spotted on the streets of New York City with her BFF Melissa, in a biker chic look of a black satin biker jacket, black skinny jeans and a black leather biker hat.

That evening, she attended the the 2009 Women of the Year awards hosted by Glamour Magazine at Carnegie Hall. She looked stunning accepting her award in an ivory Stephane Rolland Couture floor length origami dress.

Then she ended the night changing into another floor-length evening gown for the after-party; this time a beautiful blush pink colored dress with a slit “up-to-there”.

Bridal bauble – the bib necklace

As a bride-to-be, I find myself following a lot of wedding traditions, but the fashionista in me wants to add a little haute couture to my wedding day look. So I’ve already purchased a gown that’s equal parts traditional and couture and now am on the hunt for some non-traditional accessories. My strapless gown begs for a bit of adornment around my neck and I feel a simple necklace just won’t do. So I’ve been considering a jeweled bib necklace. It worked for Beyonce at the Golden Globes – she wore a 200 carat diamond bib necklace by Lorraine Schwartz. Now while I am no R&B diva/red carpet fixture, I think I can still pull off the look on my wedding day. I found several haute options that are a touch more affordable than Beyonce’s billionaire-style baubles:

From left to right:
Carolee Crystal Bib Necklace, $295
Kenneth Jay Lane Large Fancy Bib Necklace, $1,040
The following are available for rent at Avelle (the new Bag, Borrow or Steal)
Miriam Haskell Pearl Choker & Earring Set
Kenneth Jay Lane Three Row Teardrop Bib Necklace

MTV Video Music Awards - haute or not on the red carpet

By now, Kanye West jumping on the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift’s win has overshadowed the entire 2009 MTV Video Music Awards show. But there’s only one thing that matters to us - and it’s not Kanye - it’s who was wearing what! There were some clear red carpet hits and some questionable misses. Amber Rose and Lady Gaga wore their usual shock and awe outfits - Amber Rose in a snakeskin print spandex leaotard and Lady Gaga in a Victorian-style dress with feathers, a gold mask and a golden neck brace. As much as I love Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez , I wasn’t 100% sold on either of their looks - Beyonce’s red ruffled Roberto Cavalli mini dress with the pouched-out tummy, and J. Lo in Louis Vuitton with an attached velvet shrug.

Do you love or hate these ladies looks?

Get up close and personal with the real ‘devil in Prada’ - Anna Wintour in “The September Issue”

It was a veritable “who’s who in fashion design” last night at the premiere of “The September Issue“. The documentary, directed by R.J. Cutler, is named after the most highly coveted and biggest (weighs over 4 pounds!) annual issue, the September issue of Vogue magazine.

Cutler delves into the work life of one of the most enigmatic fashion editors ever, Anna Wintour, and Creative director Grace Coddington, and gives us fashionistas an exclusive inside look at the industry’s proclaimed ‘bible’.

Wintour was quoted as saying: “Well, it’s very much the inside workings of the magazine - how we put an issue together, the hard work that it takes, the creativity, you know, the heartache and the successes. I think the September issue is really a benchmark for the industry so to see how it’s put together is obviously for us very special and we hope for the viewers.”

“R.J. is very discreet,” Wintour continued. “You know, obviously at the beginning we were all a little apprehensive but he was with us for nine months so at the end of it he was part of the team.”

The film opens in theaters August 28th in New York, September 11th in Los Angeles and other select cities TBD.

Haute or Not - Leighton Meester in Christopher Kane

Leighton Meester came out to attend a special advanced screening of “Spread”, hosted by Gotham and Hamptons Magazines to support Gossip Girl co-star and boyfriend Sebastian Stan. The actress wore a piece from Christopher Kane’s 2010 Resort (first-ever) pre-collection, which features amber-colored mushroom cloud prints from nuclear test explosions. (Kane took the free prints from the U.K. Ministry of Defense website.) The chemically-hued prints made their way onto a baby-doll dress, worn by Meester, that looked more like a bikini top, short sleeves and skirt all cobbled together. She paired it with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, a Louis Vuitton clutch, Cathy Waterman earrings and Jack Vartanian rings. Kane is clearly into shock and awe fashion - first his gorilla, ape and baboon dresses for Spring (Rihanna was a fan); now nuclear mushroom cloud prints. What do you think of Kane’s innovative new collection? Is it haute or not?

CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) awards 2009 - winners and losers

The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) awards are all about honoring and recognizing the most talented designers in the fashion industry, but the real fashion winners and losers at the 2009 awards were seen arriving to the event.

Two of the night’s fashion ‘winners’ were Claire Danes and Kerry Washington, who both opted for full-length gowns with plunging necklines. Claire Danes looked chic in a sleek black number designed by friend Narciso Rodriguez. Kerry Washington wore a sparkly silver frock by Doo.ri paired with a silver clutch and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Zoe Saldana kept it simple in a beautiful sheer grey off-the-shoulder Calvin Klein dress and nude T-strap sandals. Diane Kruger wowed in a red Jason Wu minidress with black embroidered shoulder details and also accessorized with T-strap sandals and a navy satin clutch. A very pregnant Heidi Klum shined in a ruched, metallic one-shouldered Michael Kors dress complemented with a metallic clutch and metallic Christian Louboutin ankle-strap pumps.

The night’s fashion ‘losers’ included Michelle Trachtenberg (Gossip Girl) who wore a silver top and too short/too tight black skirt by Behnaz Sarafpour and pulled her hair into a high ponytail. Ashley Olsen looked frumpy in an orange vintage gown that was just a bit too large. Perhaps they should have switched?

Vera Wang wore one of her own designs – a gold sequined dress with a white tank, bib necklace, netting at the hem, black tights and chunky black shoes. Can you say “accessory overload”? Kirsten Dunst wore an asymmetrical Rodarte minidress that made her look like a wrapped mummy and her clunky grey shoes would have been more appropriate with a pair of jeans. Rachel Roy also wore one of her own designs – a one-shoulder frock with a pretty print but too much going on at the waist.

Check out Women’s Wear Daily to see which designers won at the CFDA awards.
