83rd Academy Awards Nominations Luncheon

Amy Adams is the queen of "ladies who lunch" so naturally she would look perfect for this occasion.

The actress looks effortless chic in her ivory ruffled Valentino dress paired with gold metallic Ferragamo heels.

Michelle Williams looks exquisite as always in her Chanel ensemble.

I adore her black keyhole blouse paired with a ivory boucle skirt and black Sergio Rossi heels

Nicole Kidman finally wore some delicious color but this wasn't the right event. The Oscar Luncheon is all about soft and delicate silhouettes.

I thought her red and orange fingerprint motif YSL dress was a bit too much especially paired with her red strappy Prada sandals.

I told her to wear color but she went a little crazy with it!

As Joan Rivers said, Natalie Portman's baby has been to so many award shows, the baby first words are going to be " I want to thank my agent"!

She looks divine in her teal belted Lanvin dress paired with a pop of color fuchsia Charles by Charles David heels.

Jennifer Lawrence looks lovely in her white chiffon and pleated Chloe dress paired with black strappy Roger Vivier sandals.

Hailee Steinfeld looked adorable once again in her simple black Moschino Cheap and Chic tuxedo dress paired with black Aldo heels.

Italian Vogue "The Black Allure" Spread



Just when I thought the Italian Vogue 2008 "Black Issue" would never happen in my life time again, Editor Franca Sozzani has done it again for the February 2011 issue by featuring all African-American and Latino models in their photo spread called "Black Allure". The theme was the roaring 1920's Harlem.

It was completely extraordinary seeing all of these stunning models together. My favorite looks are Ajak Jeng in the gorgeous orange Jil Sander dress, Chanel Iman in the beautiful turquoise fringed Versace dress and Melodie Monrose in the regal ombre Louis Vuitton fringed dress.

I feature all of these ladies on my blog because it's a honor to view their outstanding beauty daily. I am certain just like the "Black Issue" spread this one will sell out immediately because contrary to belief, African-American models sell magazines!

Emmy Rossum Hosts Vegas Magazine's February Issue



Etro Fall 2010

Emmy Rossum is giving me hotness in her fabulous red and eggplant thigh-split Etro ensemble.

I absolutely adore this color combination. Since I love the drama, I wished she wore the stunning necklace the model is rocking on the runway but she is not edgy enough to pull it off.

She completed her look soft curls, red lips, a wonderful Temperley embellished clutch and strappy sandals.

2011 Santa Barbara International Film Festival



Nina Ricci Spring 2010

Nicole Kidman received the Cinema Vanguard Award for taking artistic risks in films.

She is usually a big snooze and always seem to wear black or navy on the red carpet so it was refreshing to see her in this breezy white Nina Ricci white wrap dress. She wears Nina Ricci so much, she might as well be the ambassador for the label.

She completed her look with that silly hair hanging down and with strappy Pierre Hardy heels.

Fabulous Events: Kim Kardashian & Hailee Steinfeld

Glam Bash Of Silly Bandz


I am still trying to figure out what Kim Kardashian does for a living? She made over 6 million dollars last year for her reality show. She has her own clothing collection at Bebe. She has her own jewelry and shoe line. Now, she is making Silly Bandz. What the hell? It's something call over exposing yourself. What's next? Is she going to open her own fried chicken shack with Flava Flav?

Anyway, she looks gorgeous in her bronze embellished sculptural dress. I love the color against her skin.

She completed her look with nude heels and flawless make-up.

The Virtuosos Award


Step over Keke Palmer and Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld is becoming my new teen diva!

She has only been on the red carpet for a minute and each ensemble she gets it right.

The young actress looks divine in this romantic ivory embroidered Alberta Ferretti dress paired with a pop of color red suede Aldo heels.

Best Dressed Diva Of The Week: Amber Riley


Amber Riley continues to let Hollywood know that you don't have to be minus zero to look stunning on the red carpet!

She was a version of perfection in her custom made black ruffled Anne Barge dress.

Worst Dressed Diva Of The Week: Claire Danes

Claire Danes hardly ever excites me on the red carpet and this occasion was no exception. She was beyond boring in this floral Louis Vuitton floral dress for the 2011 SAG Awards.

It was just too casual and the belt made matter worst.

The Children Awaiting Parents Charity Event



Ginnifer Goodwin looks absolutely enchanting in her printed fifties inspired Monique Lhuillier dress.

I simply adore the mesh bodice and the flair silhouette.

She completed her look with her cute short hair and the perfect choice of a pop of color red peep-toes Raphael Young wedges.

Celebrities Love Issa





A woman can't go wrong with a sexy jersey drape dress. Very few dresses are comfortable but yet glamorous at the same time.

Danielle Helayel, Brazlian born designer founded Issa in 2001. The dresses make you feel confident and sexy. Celebrities can't get enough of them because they are versatile. They can wear them for cocktails on the beach to a red carpet event.

My favorites were Gabrielle Union and Rose McGowen in their magenta and green plunge neck draped dresses. Naomi Campbell rocked a cute black and white printed version. Nicole Richie gave a bohemian twist and Kate Middleton wore her navy version to the announcement of her engagement to Prince William and the dress was sold out within a day!

Whether you are attending a casual or evening affair, Issa dresses are wonderful for either occasion.

Jennifer Lopez Rocking Haute Hippie & L'Wren Scott

Venus Goddess Fund Education Campaign


Jennifer Lopez is the first ever Global Ambassador for Venus Goddess Razors. She is simply glowing in this fabulous shimmering nude and silver sequined Haute Hippie ensemble.

I adore the romantic nude blouse pair with a sexy sequined wrap skirt.

She completed her look with fabulous soft curls and nude Christian Louboutins.

Surprisingly, I really enjoy the chemistry with she, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson on American Idol but of course I still miss Simon's witty rude comments because sometimes they are just too nice.

Live With Regis & Kelly


For the taping for "Live With Regis and Kelly", she chose a more dark and sleek look in her black textured belted L'Wren Scott leather shirt dress paired with Christian Louboutin Lucifer spike bow heels.

Taye Diggs(Harper), Regina Hall (Candy), Sanaa Lathan(Robin), Harold Perrineau(Julian), Melissa Desousa(Shelby), Monica Callhaoun(Mia), Nia Long(Jordan), Director Malcolm D. Lee, Morris Chestnut(Lance), and Terrance Howard(Quentin)

Sanaa, Nia and Regina all still look beyond fabulous!

Taye, Harold and Morris all look dapper as ever!

Nia, Monica and Director Malcolm D. Lee(Spike Lee's brother) are all smiles for the camera.

OMG! I can't believe that it has been twelve years since my favorite movie of all time "The Best Man" premiere.

All of my friends, sisters and I went to the theater to see this amazing movie. It was a must see mainly because it was finally a movie that we wouldn't be embarrass to see and we could relate to. It was about intelligent professional African-Americans getting together for a fabulous wedding. It debut at #1 at the box office on the first day!

In Chicago we are experiencing a blizzard with 20 inches of snow. Everything is shut down right now. I am going to pour me a glass of wine and watch my favorite movie!

"Waiting For Forever" Los Angeles Premiere




Burberry Spring 2011

Rachel Bilson is letting me have it in her gray ruffled leather trimmed Burberry dress! Words can't express how much I looove this dress.

The racer open back is incredible. I adore her modify look with the leather piping. It edgy but yet delicate.

My only complaint is I wished she wore the delicious pale blue color that model Jeneil Williams is rocking but she still looks amazing in the gray version.

She completed her look with a sleek bun and black criss-cross Christian Louboutin heels.
