Hot or Hot Mess: Selena Gomez in Dolce and Gabbana at the Billboard Music Awards

[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.]

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the fact she’s dating Justin Bieber, maybe it’s because at 21, I consider everyone younger than me to be children, maybe it’s just the fact that her face is not one of an eighteen year old, but Selena Gomez doing sexy kinda weirds me out. I know I wore much sluttier stuff when I was 18, and we’ve all seen the kind of stuff Miley Cyrus busted out the minute she turned legal, but Selena Gomez is just too cute.

Selena wore this striking D&G gown to the Billboard Music Awards, paired with red Giuseppe Zanotti strappy shoes. I absolutely adore this dress, but I can’t help thinking it’s a little too cut out, a little too sophisticated and grown up for Miss Gomez. I would have liked to have seen her in something a little more bright and fun, maybe a little more age-appropriate.

So, should Selena save the black until she gets a little older? Is this outfit hot or a hot mess? Let us know what you think!!

Cutouts are a sexy trend seen on both the spring and fall 2009 runways, so if you feel comfortable showing some skin, then rocking this look is definitely a must this year.

Just make sure you’re not showing off too much. If you’re wearing a cutout top, pair it with jeans. If you’re wearing a dress, make sure it’s not super short and/or pair it with tights to offset the bare skin already visible on your upper half. There’s a fine line between sexy and slutty, so tread carefully. Read More »

Even the glamorous world of fashion has been hit hard by the recession. In a time where most people are cutting back, spending money on designer outfits just doesn’t seem reasonable. At this year’s New York Fashion Week, many designers have cut costs by hosting smaller runway shows or gallery presentations.

But more than how, designers have changed what they are showing. Their goal is to show women looks that they must have; looks that will get them reaching for their wallets. So what can you expect to be snatching up for fall? A little of this, a little of that and a whole lot of 80s… Read More »
