Rihanna looks happy as a clam, but one must wonder if  that smile means she doesn’t realize just how unflattering her baggy tan pants really are…through an elastic waistband on there and you officially have yourself a pair of mom pants, Rihanna. Plus I’m just not loving the wide lapels and overly smokey eyes…it’s all too much and I simply expect more from you and your usually so edgy flair.
What I do love are those Louboutin shoes peaking out from under those hideous pants. They give me hope. Let’s scrap everything else, darling – keep the shoes and rebuild this …read more

Who knew Victoria Beckham was so serious about her schoolyard games?
During a photoshoot for her super luxury, high end dresses (the one she’s wearing will set you back $3,145…oh, that is if it wasn’t sold out on Net-A-Porter…) Victoria’s signature stoic pout was in full force on the swingset.

I’ll concede that the entire setup, with the three models swinging in couture on porch steps in central London is rather interesting, so I’m looking forward to seeing the final version of the spread.

But really…would you spend over $3k on this dress? Enough people did, since it’s sold out, so there’s surely …read more

Regular Snarkstress readers know that Ciara and I don’t usually get along. She has horrified me with trashy dresses, ugly harem pants and her latest blunder…strappy Barney purple wedges.
But this is a nice change for the 2009 BET Awards. Simple makeup, soft hair, and a tight dress that covers all the goods but leaves plenty for the imagination to toy with. I don’t know if these particular baby pink Louboutins would have been my choice, but it works for her and I’m delighted that the word ‘lady’ actually comes to mind.
Is it possible that Ciara will surpass Rihanna as a …read more

Alright, Rihanna. I’ll see your gray tassle sweater dress and raise you one pair of citrus shaded aviator sunglasses…where do you keep coming up with such strange style choices?
And why does your hair still like a birdsnest on your head?
I understand that you might be still feeling a bit screwy and off your game from the rough few months you had there…but honey, you have a new man, are poised to bounce back into the spotlight (not just this paparazzi photo hoopla) and be the stellar popstar I know you can be. But not with that hair. And not with …read more

Here is Penelope Cruz at the photocall for Broken Embraces in Cannes…proving to every single woman out there that it doesn’t take much to look absolutely, positively stunning.
Well, actually what she’s proving is that there is such a thing as star power and most women who might attempt to pull off a nude bandage dress like this one would fall flat, fade in with the background, and be totally, utterly forgettable.
But when you are Penelope Cruz…forgettable isn’t even an option.
I imagine there are probably merely a handful of women in the world who could pull off such a potentially disastrously …read more

While I would hate to rush into any hasty conclusions, it is possible that I judged Sarah Jessica Parker rather harshly last week. What can I say…the sight of mutton chops makes me unreasonably angry.
While I remain disappointed in SJP’s outfit for Mary Stuart, the ensemble she has put together for the premiere of Wonderful World at the Tribeca Film Festival is much better. Best of all are those positively divine Christian Louboutin heels she has on. If there was ever any way two girls who couldn’t be more different might bond…it’s over Louboutins.
Yes indeed, SJP might still be able …read more

Can there be any chance that fabulous shoes and accessories could revive a trend that had already begun to flop last Fall? It appears Dania Ramirez felt knee length leggings were worth giving it a shot at the 5th Anniversary of The Cathy’s Kids Organization held at The Roosevelt in Hollywood.
The shoes? Gorgeous. The clutch? Lovely. Even the top is just fine and her makeup completely acceptable.
But the leggings are done, my dear. They are so long overdue for official ‘done’ status. Louboutins do not make leggings fashionable again – they only cringe by being so near a failed trend, …read more

Rachel McAdams could not look more pasty than she does in this dress. The overabundance of frilly fabric is bothersome and unflattering -from her toes to her shoulders it’s all beige, beige, beige…
Even if there had been a prettier pop of color in her hands than that yellow clutch, it might have been more acceptable. But as it stands, this is probably one of the least forgiving color choices in a dress. Sure, Carrie Bradshaw pulled it off while woo-ing Big and pimping her column on the side of a bus. But that dress at least said “I am totally …read more
