Drive By Post: Fashion Don'ts

This is a quick drive by post. I'm looking at some celebrity pictures from Essence Magazine's Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon and I just had to comment on these eye sores. Enjoy!



Kim Whitley  - The luncheon was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel and I know hotels are often quite chilly and having a sweater on hand is a good idea. What I want to know is who told Kim Whitley this chintzy cardigan was okay to wear? A nice black wrap would have been a better choice. The dress is not at all flattering and her "hair" is a complete no.



Lynn Whitfield - It kills my soul to say something bad about Ms. Whitfield who has always looked fab at various events, but this black bra beneath the sheer coral blouse business is a fashion no-no. When going sheer match the bra or camisole to the top.



Vanessa Williams - Out of ALL the shoes she probably owns, she wore those heavy black suede joints!! Why, God, why???? She had a chance to kill in this dress but she opted for the worst footwear she could find. I pray her strappy sandals or a pair of pumps were in that bag.

My girl Danyelle over at The Cubicle Chick has the run down on the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon too!



Melodies by MJB

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige is launching her much anticipated Melodies by MJB sunglass collection.

My favorite from the collection: Red Carpet in Brown/Horn Laminate

Melodies by MJB has four very haute designs with twenty color options, the MJ's, Incognito, Red Carpet, and Showtime. With a moderate price point, ranging from $165 to $225, I think Mary J. Blige is on the right track with her premium sunglasses collection.

If you're in the Chicago area, be sure to stop by Nordstrom on Monday, October 18th, Mary J. Blige will be there to officially launch Melodies! Click here to RSVP

Which Melodies by MJB strike your fancy? I hope Santa slips a pair of the Red Carpets in my Christmas stocking - I've been really good this year ;)
