Hot or Hot Mess: Christina Milian in Las Vegas

Christina Milian (I had almost forgotten about our favorite “Dip It Low” singer) stepped out in Las Vegas wearing a dress that looks suspiciously like a wetsuit to me — and an unflattering one at that. The dress is by Liza Maria Fernandez.

The two colors, thick zipper and high collar leave me with memories of wake boarding and tubing during the summer at the lake house. Also, the hefty amount of cleavage? Just like an itsy bitsy triangle bikini top.

But there still is something kind of great about spending the months on a lake — summer romance, BBQs, and tanned hotties — so I can see how this might work for some people. Just not me; I tend to opt for looks with a little more coverage boob and a little less spandex.

So what do you think, hot or hot mess?


Hot or Hot Mess? Rihanna in Tom Ford

Rihanna wore this Tom Ford dress to a New Year’s Eve party in Miami. At first glance I was all about the look. I think the sleeves are awesome, love the hemline and the fact that it’s a bit longer, and even think the sash is pretty cute (normally I don’t do the whole bow thing). Here I was, thinking the outfit was pretty rocking and awesome for New Year’s…

…And then I noticed her nipple ring. Yikes. Let’s hope it wasn’t too nipply, er nippy, that night.

For me, showing this much kind of ruined the whole ensemble, even the perfectly chic Louboutins. A little bit more modesty (read: a bra, even a nude one) could go a long way. But at the end of the day, she’s still pretty banging.

So what do you think, hot or hot mess?

Hot or Hot Mess: Lady Gaga in Chanel at Barney’s New York

I can’t physically express my envy in writing this post.

As a poor, fashion-obsessed college student, my one dream is for some Chanel. A Chanel bag would be the dream. Just one beautiful piece of black and white monogrammed beauty. Or a vintage Chanel tweed jacket. Or a dress. Or even just some tights…

I digress. Lady Gaga stepped out at Barneys, New York to celebrate the opening of the Gaga Workshop Holiday Window, in an outfit designed for her personally by the God of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld. The gown involved a classic Chanel white and tweed jacket and a full, Victorian-style skirt with an asymmetric hem. Gaga accessorized with her trademark red lips and shades, black gloves, a homage to Coco Chanel herself with an amazing black-and-white headpiece and pearls and, of course, insane shoes.

This is a really classy look for Gaga, with no skin on show, and is perfectly Chanel while also being 100% Gaga. It’s so classy, but also a dream princess gown that lights up the little girl in me. She looks like the fairy on top of the Christmas tree. I absolutely adore this dress, but I don’t think it’s for everyone.

So what do you think, hot or hot mess?


10 Atrocious Celebrity Fashion Faux-Pas

Hot or Hot Mess: Emma Stone at The Help London Premiere in Luca Luca

I’ve gotta say, when I first picked this as this week’s outfit, I wasn’t really sold on it. I picked it for my notorious “on-the-fence” posts. But after having some time away from it, I actually really like it.

It’s a very unusual dress. A strange mix of conservative (the covered shoulders) and a little sexy (the thigh-high slit) and not something everyone can pull off, but Emma Stone has this amazing ability to pull off certain things that would look hideous on other people. I love the print (polka dots are huge for Spring/Summer 2012) and this dress has that straight-off-the-runway look while also looking super-wearable. She doesn’t look like she’s tried too hard. I love that Emma Stone always seems to have fun with the fact that she’s young and never tries to dress too old. This is the perfect dress for a young, hot star. Read More »


Hot or Hot Mess: Sarah Jessica Parker in Stella McCartney at the Premier of Ocean’s Kingdom

The more time I spend looking at this outfit, the less I like it.

And I love lace. And asymmetry.

It’s just… SJP could feasibly be my mother. I would not want my mother going out in something like this.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a gorgeous dress. I love the lace, I love the white (who says you can’t wear white after Labour Day?!), I love how she has accessorized with a big floral piece (very Carrie), but I just don’t think it’s…well…appropriate. I think she’s showing a little bit too much skin and it just isn’t the right choice for her- even adding length to it would just make it look too bride-y.

I love the nude bag and pretty jewellery, but I don’t really understand why she chose green Manolo Blahnik shoes- I think nude or black would have been cuter. I do like her makeup, but again, I think the black eyeliner and heavy smokey eye it a little bit too much for her nowadays.

I’m not going to insist that SJP start wearing mom jeans and pant suits, but I’m just not mad on this one.

Hot or Hot Mess: Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli at the Friends with Benefits Premiere

Emma Stone was back to her vibrant, bright self in more ways than one at the Friends With Benefits premiere this week, in this on-trend Giambattista Valli number. The colour-blocking piece combined colour-of-the-season punchy pink in the skirt and bright red in the bodice. She paired the outfit with simple nude shoes, a silver clutch and pretty pink lips.

I absolutely love the colours of this dress. Red is notoriously hard to pull off for redheads, but she chooses a perfect shade of red that doesn’t compete with her hair or over-power it. Pink and red is also an unusual combination, but it pushes colour blocking beyond simply complimentary colours and the result really works. The long sleeves of the blouse and the pencil shape of the skirt are both grown-up but sexy on her, and the pretty nude pumps make her legs look a mile long and compliment the look perfectly. I also love the fact that unlike a lot of young actresses, Emma is happy to embrace her naturally pale skin, even in an outfit this bright. Read More »


Hot or Hot Mess: HP Cast at the London Premier


[Like it or not, we all judge people every day. Especially when it comes to their fashion choices. From the girl with the too-short skirt for class to the old guy who insists on wearing short shorts and doing butterfly stretches at the gym (yeah, try to get that visual out of your head), it's impossible not to form an opinion. And now we're gonna share those opinions with the world. Every week, I'll be highlighting a celebrity look that I may love/hate/not understand and see what you, my college fashionistas, think about it. So put on your Joan Rivers fashion cap (which is undoubtedly made out of all the skin she's had nipped and tucked over the years) and let it all out.]

The stars were out for the premiere of the final Harry Potter movie in London last week, the there was a mix of good, bad and Helena Bonham Carter.

The dress of the night has to go to Emma Watson, who wore a stunning, strapless Oscar de la Renta dress. The dress had a silvery detailed bodice and incredible tulle skirt. She accessorized with simple earrings and a cocktail ring. The whole look was sophisticated and stylish, but also exciting and fun. Read More »


Hot or Hot Mess: Mischa Barton at the Shanghai Film Festival

Oh Coop…I mean Mischa. Where did it all go wrong? A few years ago you were Marissa Cooper, darling f-up of The OC. We also loved your wavy locks and the way you started every sentence with “So…” We loved your on/off romance with Ryan and that brief lesbian fling you had with the girl from House. But then you got knocked off and it was all downhill from there really, wasn’t it? Then it was drugs and weight gain and drama for a few years. The OC became that-thing-we-watched-before-Gossip-Girl-started and Blake Lively replaced you as the hottest screw up on the silver screen.

But then you came back. You designed some (actually really nice) handbags and things were looking good. And then this happened.

Okay, as usual, I’ll start with the (one) positive- LOVE THE SHOES. Okay, I also love the colour- you can’t you wrong in black. But then there’s the negatives- it’s sheer over the boobs, it has some crazy pouffing in the skirt going on, and the neck piece looks like you massacred Big Bird’s evil twin.

I really, really want you to get back on top form, Coop. But I can’t get past this one. What do you guys think? Epic train wreck, or cutting edge fashion?
