We had a chance to catch up with some of Hollywood’s most fashionable men, including Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared.  Clad in their own designs, this world leading designing duo is responsible for making some of Hollywood’s most glamorous women look fabulous.  And they don’t look too bad themselves, either.

They dished to us about what it’s like to work with Britney Spears and artists that they would like to work with in the future.

And of course, we hob-nobbed with some of Hollywood’s brightest stars today!  Watch Splendicity’s exclusive coverage of Canada’s Walk of Fame and don’t forget to check in for Part 3: The Ladies of the Red Carpet.

Splendicity at Canada’s Walk of Fame Pt 2

While I originally wanted to tell all of my readers about the luxurious and super expensive jewelery that Ms. Jagger is going to be selling, I was all but side tracked by her choice in clothing.

Look at that 80s inspired mini-dress. I swear I had one of those in the 1st grade! I am completely distracted by the enormity of those little flying things on the dress to even consider looking at her fabulous jewelry.

And the hair! Did she just blow dry it the wrong way? I mean, oh my goodness gracious! I am scared!

As for her accessories, all we’re missing are the slap bracelets. Did they fall off’? I mean, to complete this fashion nightmare all we need are the slap bracelets!

While I don’t doubt that I’ll be running around trying to get my hands on some of her new jewelry, that does along with the Jezebel fashion line, I may need to save up for it. It’s all well in to the six figure range.

Sass, Style & Substance

After all, there are the Grammys, New York Fashion Week is about to kick off, and of course – the Oscars are rolling out the red carpet in the next couple of weeks as well.

Since I am an opinionated fashion blogger, I must throw my two cents into the red carpet pool and pick a few special accessories that I think would make the red carpet walk a little more glamorous.

What am I recommending?  Clear, glittering crystals and pale gold!

Check out the “Brill” sandal by Sergio Rossi:

The nude sandal is covered with teensy little crystals for a restrained sparkle.

Want to up the sparkle factor?  Check out the hot jeweled slide from Manolo Blanik:

The metallic gold slide high heel has a wide band of crystal-covered jewels across the front of the shoe.

Do you want to make an impression as you walk away?  Miu Miu’s crystal heel sandal may be the perfect fit for you:

It’s a pretty, strappy metallic high heel in the front – but check out the heel!

Yummy!

Glittering shoes for glamorous parties

Even though the black satin Loubies seem to get the most runway time – there are tons of other options.  Why not rock some sexy leopard print slingbacks?

Or lose the platform, but still go with something outrageously feminine (”Petal” sandals)?

How about even trying some different colors (”Armadillo” striped satin d’orsay)

Christian Louboutin at the Grammys

Especially hot pink Muppets.

Seriously, leave the puppets alone and pull on something something… I don’t know, stylish, or attractive – I can even work with trendy here!

You want a bold color?  Let’s see what we can find that won’t make my eyes ache…

How about the “Denver” boot by David Tate?

No?  You still want hot pink?  Maison Martin Margiela may have the boot for you:

And the lesson for today is…

Mr. Song Millinery, a boutique hat maker based in Detroit has said that they made Aretha Franklin’s hat as a special, one of a kind hat just for her.  You can’t buy one the identical hat, but Mr. Song makes other stunning hats.

These are hats for women who like to be noticed, who like to make an impression.  For the woman with charisma!  Here are a few picks from their Fall/Winter 2008 hat collection:

The hats aren’t available for sale online yet, but you can contact them through their website to order your own hat directly.

I’m going to go out on a limb and defend her choice   First of all, she’s a diva and can wear whatever she darn well pleases!  I think she’s got the charisma and style to pull it off – in fact, I think she rocked it!

And let’s not forget how cold it was too…

Hats can make a great style statement – so maybe you should go out on a limb and try one too?

Aretha Franklin and the “HAT”

Check out her impeccable choices in accessories for the inauguration – she’s sporting Jimmy Choo’s “Glacier” pumps in a cool green:

And has even matched her gloves to her shoes – very nicely done in my opinion!

I know there is some controversary out in the fashion world about her outfit, but I think she looks fashionable and elegant – and every inch the First Lady.
