Of all of the beautiful and fashionably dressed people at the MOCA New 30th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles last night, I had to find the one celebrity who just didn’t pull it together for the red carpet.  I am usually a huge James Franco fan…such a cutie in the Batman movies!  But yuck… what happened??  I would usually be jealous of the babe on his arm, but in this situation I actually feel sorry for her.  He looks dreadful!
James Franco walked the red carpet desperately in need of a haircut, a better suit, and some sunshine.  He looks like …read more

The tshirt dress is a staple for any girl’s wardrobe – but Sophie Monk and LeAnn Rimes seem to have the same misunderstanding about just how “tshirt-y” the tshirt dress should be. Indeed, Sophie’s version is shorter, sexier and almost a wee bit risque. LeAnn on the other hand looks a tad frumpy in her crisp white shirt…almost like she just rolled out of her lover’s bed, grabbed his shirt and snuck out the door. The shoe choices each of them have made only compound the differences evident in each of their outfits.
What do they have in common? Both ladies …read more

I don’t even remember the last time I saw a floral print this gaudy and cheap looking…but I’m pretty sure it was in the mid-nineties when big butterfly prints and little daisy sundresses reigned surpreme.
Unfortunately for Lorielle New, this is not the nineties – it’s 2009 and she’s on red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of “Shorts”. Between the hat, that ugly necklace, strangely out of place crocodile print purse and this loud print that doesn’t belong anywhere (not in a dress, or top, or shoes, or even little mini clutch wallet for that matter) I’m just surprised her …read more

I have mixed feelings about Amy Adams on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of “Julie & Julia”. On the one hand, her dress is a lovely shade and texture, with a fascinating left sleeve fit for any A-list celebrity. The teardrop earrings are equally as divine, as are the simple accessories on her wrist.
But my main concern is how plain she looks, particularly because whatever was started with her hair looks half finished and sloppy at best. Either some gentle waves or sleek and straight would have worked – but the sloppy locks she ended up with …read more

It’s been a long time since Rachel Bilson charmed us on The O.C. The whole movie career thing doesn’t seem to have panned out, but she is looking rather relaxed and radiant these days in the rare paparazzi photos of her out and about.
But is she ready for a career in fashion? The rumors are swirling after she left a Los Angeles office building earlier this week carrying a large shopping bag labeled for her from BPCM marketing and PR Firm, one of the most well known and influential firms in the fashion industry. Sure, she makes a habit of …read more

Tongues are wagging about whether or not Avril Lavigne had a big pasta lunch or is carrying a new little punk rocker these days. Out shopping with a friend in Los Angeles, I have to agree it does look like there might be a baby bump hiding under her black tank top.
But enough about baby rumors…can we talk for a second about her makeup?
It’s a bit too over the top – just got a makeover at MAC – for me personally, but I have to admit I kind of like it on her. The hair looks good as well, …read more

Entourage is back on the air and I’m delighted to see Jamie-Lynn Sigler looking absolutely stunning at the Los Angeles Premiere held at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. I could go on and on about how adorable the whole Jamie-Lynn/Turtle storyline is, particularly because it carries over into real life, but that’s not why Jamie-Lynn has caught my attention…
The minidress is perfectly tailored for her lovely figure and each accessory effortlessly fits into the ensemble as a whole. She looks happy – relaxed, comfortable and totally confident. Not something you typically see of young celebrities these days.
Yes, I can imagine Jamie-Lynn …read more

The first time I looked at this picture of Isla Fisher on the red carpet for the premiere of ‘Bruno’ in Hollywood, I couldn’t seem to shake the image of a little redheaded leprechaun from my mind. Harsh, I know – but that’s what I thought of, I can’t help it.
However, I’ve since reviewed the photo a few more times and have changed my mind completely. Sure, the dress is a little oddly shaped around the midsection, making me wonder if another baby Fisher-Cohen is on the way, but the color is perfect for her glow-y skin and long red …read more

It never ceases to amaze me how one woman can find the ugliest dresses available for very public events, when there are plenty of at least half decent looking options available most anywhere.
Here is Aubrey O’Day, once again, proving to me that she has no idea what the word “understated” even means. Sure, a little asymmetrical flop of fabric for the Los Angeles premiere of Transformers never hurt anyone…
That is unless the amount of fabric looks like it could cause a girl to to topple over. Or start leaning to one side to try to compensate for the extra strain …read more

Remember how adorable Ginnifer Goodwin was in “He’s Just Not That Into You”? Ever so sweetly disheveled and charming, you kind of felt for her awkward dating antics and attempts to woo Justin Long.
Ginnifer’s not wooing anyone in this getup. Sauntering around Los Angeles looking like an unkempt schlub who can’t tell that it’s Summer in southern California and thus has  made the strange decision to wear Uggs…he, or she, and especially me are most definitely not into that, Ginnifer.
Though I have no doubt we will continue to see Uggs once more as soon as Fall rolls around, let’s leave …read more
