Hot or Not? Avant Garde Fashion at the AMAs

Tracy Hopkins — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:03:46 +0000

I totally missed the American Music Awards the other night. But thanks to You Tube I caught the highlights or better yet low lights including J. Lo falling on her most famous asset, Janet’s “she still got it” hit medley, and Adam Lambert’s WTF performance. Fashion wise, most of the stars came out dressed to impress. Some succeeded, and others….well, you be the judge.

Alicia Keys, the number one stunner!

Alicia Keys is like a fine wine. The girl only gets better with time. I think she looks lovely in this leg baring sparkly blue mini with matching, strappy blue pumps. What’s your vote: Hot or Not?

Does Rihanna rock in this frock?

Rihanna is certainly no shrinking violet. Here she takes yet another risk on the red carpet. To me, the flowery frock seems more appropriate for the Country Music Awards than for the American Music Awards. What do you think — is Rihanna’s cut-out couture gown Hot or Not?

Leona, we don't need another hero.

Leona Lewis likes to have fun with fashion. The pointy bust line black leather (or is that vinyl?) mini is sexy in a Tina Turner “Beyond Thunderdome” kind of way. Yet, in this ensemble the English rose looks like a good girl playing dress up like a bad girl. Does Leona’s dress sizzle or fizzle?

Janet Jackson Takes in Milan Fashion Week

While I’m still trying to recover from New York City’s Mercedes Benz-Fashion Week, fashionistas and style casters have already flocked to Italy for Milan Fashion Week. Janet Jackson is among the superstars in Milan to see the stellar shows.

In this photo, Janet was seated in the front row for the Versace show on Friday, September 25. According to the U.K. Telegraph, the Versace show “brought sexy back” with a spring/summer 2010 collection accented by fluorescent colors, psychedelic prints, leather, chain-mail, cleavage and corsets.

After the tragic loss of her brother, Michael, and the prolonged media coverage of his death, it’s nice to see Janet smiling and looking so fab. Her black dress fits like a glove and I love her grey handbag.

The catwalk extravaganza in Milan runs through September 29 and also features designs by Giorgio Armani, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Fendi.

Is Ciara’s Fantasy Fashion Hot or Not?

Tracy Hopkins — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:26:41 +0000

Ciara’s third album, Fantasy Ride, is out May 5. To promote her new, pop-leaning sound and more glamourous look, the foxy singer did a cover story for Women’s Wear Daily. When it comes to fashion, I think I have pretty good taste. Style, however, is so subjective.

Below are photos of Ciara wearing really expensive designer clothes. I have my thoughts….the phrase “fashion disaster” comes to mind a couple times. But maybe I’m out of touch with what’s in vogue.

What do you think of Ciara’s high-fashion look? Is it hot or not?

Is she wearing a castoff from the Matrix wardrobe?

Poor posture pose? Someone has been watching too much Top Model.

I kinda like this sparkly top paired with long leather gloves. Then again, I always wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

Watch out Janet! Ciara also knows the "Pleasure Principle."

Hot Mama’s Top 5 Hot Messes of 2008

Tracy Hopkins — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:23:00 +0000

I like to keep things lighthearted here at Hot Mama Daily and all of the women who made this list should know they’re still loved. Everyone has a hot mess moment or two — theirs just happened while most of us were watching:

1) Janet Jackson cancels many of her “Rock Wit U” tour dates amidst rumors that she’s pregnant. There’s also speculation that poor tickets sales prompted the cancellations. Personally, I think she finally got a good glimpse of her not-ready-for-tour-time physique in that weird body suit and decided the show must not go on. The silly faux hawk didn’t help.

2) Danity Kane breaks up. Well, sort of. I’m a huge fan of “Making the Band,” and the girl group’s “Damaged” was the jam of the year.

So now that Diddy has kicked Aubrey and D. Woods to the curb, what will become of the pop/R&B stars? Rumor has it that Dawn will go solo and Diddy’s pretty but talent-less girlfriend Cassie will become DK’s “lead singer.” Watch this You Tube clip from a brokenhearted fan that sums up the whole hot mess.

3) Jennifer Lopez claims an ankle injury forced her to abruptly cancel her coveted guest judge spot on the Season Finale of “Project Runway.” That’s funny, all La Lopez had to do was sit in a chair and critique fashion. Just two days later, however, her foot miraculously healed and she completed a triathalon in Los Angeles. J. Lo is a real Hot Mama, but sometimes she’s such a diva.

4) Tyra Banks is the most likeable ego-maniac on TV. She has dual, self-promoting platforms with “Top Model” and the “Tyra Banks Show.” This clip from the latter where she’s taking a bubble bath and speaking in a strange baby voice about how she loves supermodel Beverly Johnson so much she has a framed picture of herself and Johnson above her bath tub — while not as full-on crazy as her “Kiss my fat a**” moment — clearly warrants her inclusion on this list.

5) Drum roll please…And the Hot Mama Hot Mess Award of the Year goes to Sherri Shepherd from “The View.” Among Sherri’s many head-scratching moments (she admitted she’d had more abortions than she could count) was when she thought the 11 Pipers Piping in “The 12 Days of Christmas” were plumbers. Oh, Sherri.

What are your fave hot mess highlights of 2008?
