Style on the Go…

Joy Bryant,Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles attend the 40/40 Club Hosts Jay-Zs Exclusive After Party at The 40/40 Club in New York on May 6, 2008.
Paula Patton at the 2nd annual Allure magazine "Most Alluring Bodies" exhibit on May 7, 2008 at Skylight Studios in New York.
Rashida Jones at Stella McCartney’s screening of Peter Sellers’ “The Party” on May 6, 2008.
Ashanti onstage during the MTV Networks Upfront at the Nokia Theater on May 8, 2008 in New York City.

Joy Bryant looked nothing short of stunning at Jay Z’s recent bash at his 40/40 club. Though the dress is a little Fredericks of Hollywood, she somewhere makes it work! After 13 years of wearing makeup, I still can’t get my eyes to look that neat and defined. Liquid eyeliner just burns my eyes! I'm also still looking for a natural lipstick color - suggestions welcome :)

Paula Patton is wearing my favorite color and she’s doing it justice. I think the shoes are a little boring but I guess you can’t go wrong with a classic black Christian Louboutin pump. Both Paula and Joy are sporting heavy bangs which is such a cute look with layered hair. No, I don't know where to get this dress but I know Target has a cute, affordable purple dress for $23.

Rashida Jones is ready for summer! She flaunted her shoulders and legs in a sexy, one strap chiffon dress a recent Stella McCartney evemt. Rashida’s style is never offensive, but I wish she would take more of a risk with her hair and/or makeup. How about a chin length bob? She’d also better keep an eye on that clutch…

Ashanti is slowly making her “come back”. Though I doubt the music scene has missed her, her style evolution has been great to watch. This black and white dress is a classic. Twenty years from now, body shape permitting, you could still pull out this dress and wear it like it was a recent purchase. Now if only we could get Ashanti to try another lip gloss color. That frosty pink is so 1982!

Style on the Go…

Dania Ramirez attends the new Pink BlackBerry Pearl Smartphone launch party on January 31, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.
Kerry Washington attends the CNN, LA Times, POLITICO Democratic Debate after party at the Roosevelt Hotel on January 31, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.
Rosario Dawson arrives to The New Pink BlackBerryr Pearl Smartphone launch party at A+D Studio on January 31, 2008 in LA.
Golden Brooks attends the launch party for Verizon's BlackBerry Pearl 8130 at the A+D Studio on January 31, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

Rising star Dania Ramierez has been catching my eye lately. Never failing to look perfectly polished, she wowed me with her choice of heels at the Pink BlackBerry Pearl Smartphone launch party. I would never have thought to pair a black mini dress with leather, tan colored toeless boots. Bravo Dania, bravo!

Kerry Washington kept it conservative at the CNN, LA Times, POLITICO Democratic Debate after party. This bell-shaped, pin stripped suit is nothing short of classy but she lightened things up with a bright red clutch and big, cute gold earrings. Loves it!

Rosario Dawson can be a hit or miss with her fashion choices. This time was a major hit. This is one of those dresses every girl should have in their wardrobe for when they feel like dressing up but want to be comfortable. Sometimes a girl just doesn’t want to deal with fidgeting all night. Oh and the long pendant is a nice touch.

Finally, Golden Brooks was oh so close with this outfit. The dress is tres cute but the heels?! Golden please explain yourself. Well, from the ankles up I think she looks nice. I’m sure many of you will disagree but I just love the frilly sleeves on her dress. I could totally rock it!

Style on the Go…

Nia Long with her son Massai (not pictured) in Beverley Hills on Monday, August 13th, 2007.
Mel B. leaving live taping of Larry King with her lawyer Gloria Allred August 9th, 2007.
Rosario Dawson in Rockefeller Plaza after appearing on NBC's "The Today Show” August 6th, 2007.
Alicia Keys arriving at a special screening of 'The Nanny Diaries' August 13, 2007, at Cinemas 123 in New York City.

Nia Long was spotted yesterday shopping it up at Kitson in L.A. with her son Massai (not pictured). She’s such a natural beauty who looks flawless dressed up or dressed down. Not too sure about the head scarf but we all have those days when our hair isn’t quite as it should be and we just want to run out and get something… I‘m not mad at that.

Melanie Brown of the reignited Spice Girls (I’m not even going to front, I’m excited about the reunion!) has been keeping herself busy by airing out her dirty laundry. While I’m not quite sure where we are with the whole is-he-or-isn’t-he-the-father saga, baby mama drama hasn’t looked this good since…. Well, NEVER! Mel B. is working that dress. No comment on her lawyer Gloria Allred’s outfit. We can’t all be rich and cute. Moving on…

Rosario Dawson made a special appearance at “The Today Show” last week looking relaxed and effortlessly put together. I love the yellow flats paired with the turquoise patterned dress and charcoal wrap. I wish she would do something more interesting with her hair. Rosario has six movies coming out over the next year so we’ll be seeing plenty of her in the future.

Now I’m not feeling Alicia Keys dress and pumps at all but she does look beautiful. Whoever does her hair and make-up is always on point. Gold star to them, but her stylist deserves a beat-down. The cut of this dress is flattering but cheetah print, stockings, and purple pumps don’t belong together. She tries…

Style on the Go…

Laila Ali attending ESPN The Magazine's Summer Fun Party on The Lady Windridge Yacht at Chelsea Piers earlier this month in New York City.
Eve posing backstage after an appearance on MTV's Total Request Live June 11, 2007 in New York City.
Kelly Rowland seen arriving at BBC Radio studios in London on June 07, 2007.
Mariah Carey at the Fresh Air Fund's Salute to American Heroes gala at Tavern on the Green on June 7, 2007 in New York City.

Since her successful run on “Dancing with the Stars,” Laila Ali has looked nothing but flawless during recent public appearances. Whoever is styling her is doing a great job of accentuating her curves and long legs. Who knew she could look so feminine. Definite Upgrade!

I applaud Eve for trying something different with this look but I’m not sold on the pink leggings. The hair is also going to take a little more convincing, but Eve definitely has a unique sense of style. I wonder how her new album will fare in the era of Rihanna, Cassie and Beyonce. Good luck with that.

Could Kelly Rowland be anymore fabulous? The world just doesn’t appreciate her like they should. I need to lay my hands on a pair of those skinny capris pronto. They’re too cute. I also want to know who does her hair. Weaving techniques have come a looooooong way baby.

Mariah Carey is the most shocking of all. The usually overzealous diva opted for a more demure and understated look. I can’t believe she chose a dress length within walking distance of her knee. I almost didn’t recognize her when I first saw this pic. Let us enjoy this Mimi until the next emancipation begins.

Style on the Go...

Tia and Tamera Mowry attending Eduardo Lucero's Fall 2007 collection at the Los Angeles Theater on March 17, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.
Sanaa Lathan at the Fred Segal Beauty & Smashbox Artists Dinner last week.
Vanessa Williams posing as she receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame March 19, 2007 in Los Angeles.
Garcelle Beauvais at the Kevan Hall Fall 2007 fashion show during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week held at Smashbox Studios on last week in Culver City, California.

Too much fabulousness last week! First up are everyone’s favorite twins, Tia and Tamera. They were spotted during LA fashion week at Eduardo Lucero’s Fall 2007 show. Love the green on Tia and her shoes are hot!

Also attending Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was Garcelle Beauvais looking typically radiant. I heard the Kevan Hall collection was fresh and elegant. Love his dresses!

Congratulations to Vanessa Williams who recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Can you believe she was once amidst a Miss USA scandal? She’s come a long way. Vanessa’s dress was perfect for the occasion but what was up with her hair?

Sanaa Lathan is too cute! This outfit is so, “I’m fabulous but not ‘cause I’m trying to be!” I just caught “Something New” on cable and fell in love with Sanaa even more… classic beauty!

Style on the Go...

Thandie Newton arriving at the Orange British Academy Film Awards, at the Royal Opera House Sunday night in London.
Rihanna attending the Universal Music Grammy party held at The Palm Restaurant Sunday night in Hollywood.
Beyonce Knowles arriving at the Sony/BMG Grammy party held at the Beverly Hills hotel on Sunday in Beverly Hills.
India.Arie arriving at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center on February 11, 2007 in Los Angeles.

So many events so little time! Gotta start off with Thandie Newton and her gorgeous champagne colored dress. I don’t know who the designer is but she worked the hell out of it. I guess there’s life after “Norbit.” Also notice the jewelry she has on… She gets an A+ from head-to-toe.

Rihanna opted for jewel green for this year’s Grammys – it emphasizes the natural color of her eyes. I love the cut of this dress, especially at the back (see beginning of slide show). I also love how Rihanna steered clear of the played out, long weave and went with an edgier cut instead. Tres chic!

I’m not to keen on the hair but the dress and make up is on point. Beyonce is definitely a pro when it comes to red carpet poses! She’s come a long way, remember those Destiny’s Child days? *shudders*

Lastly, I’m not a fan of the dress, or shoes for that matter, but India.Arie looks AMAZING! I’m bias to natural hair so I adore this look on her. I wonder if it’s hers or if she twisted in some natural hair? If it’s hair it sure grows quick!

Style on the Go…

Joy Bryant arriving at the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium last Sunday in Los Angeles.
Marsha Abrosius performs at the Quincy Jones Listen Up Foundation Q Prize Awards at the Core Club last week in New York City.
Jamelia holds out a bottle of the new rougeberry scent from bodyshop at the Bodyshop store on Oxford Street last week in London.
Anika Noni Rose on the red carpet of the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Joy Bryant and Anika Noni Rose killed it at the 13th Annual Screen Awards earlier this week. Joy Bryant’s dress is pure perfection. I believe it’s by Valentino and the jewelry is from Bulgari. Anika Noni Rose is wearing Fiandaca with a Mary Norton clutch. The poor girl has been overshadowed by her co-stars but watch out for her this year, she already has a prestigious Tony Award under her belt plus two movies and a TV series called “Starter Wife” all are due to be released later this year.

British songstress Jamelia launched MTV and Rougeberry’s new fragrance as part of a campaign to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS. The fragrance is part of Bodyshop's, ‘spray to change attitudes’ campaign aimed at empowering women to look after their sexual health. She looks great as per usual; don’t forget she has two children. Jamelia is engaged to footballer boyfriend Darren Byfield. They have a 13-month-old daughter together called Teja.

Finally Marsha Abrosius of Floetry performed solo at Quincy Jones’ Listen Up Foundation Q Prize Awards. According to YBF he was honored with the ‘Mentor of the Year’ award by the Harvard School of Public Health. Marsha is looking too cute in that dress… off to listen to some “Floetic.”
