Why Did You Wear That: Minaj A Trois

By |January 21st, 2011|Celebrity Style|

Looks like someone is gunning for Rihanna’s spot on WhyDid’s Most Wanted list.  I couldn’t pick just one fugly outfit courtesy of Miss Nicki Minaj because there were far too many to choose from. So here’s just a sampling of some of her most recent get ups.

I know.  She looks insane- and I mean that in the literal sense of the word.

I can’t lie… I actually quite like her as a human (if, in fact, she is one).  She’s incredibly charming in interviews and she seems reasonably intelligent.  I understand that she is a “spirited” young lady, but I just wish she would try and reel in her wardrobe choices.

In photo number one, I think she may be channeling a piece of chewing gum left to die on the underside of a schooldesk, but I could be wrong.  I also have a really, really difficult time with haircolor that could not possibly occur in nature.  Like, you’re not fooling anyone, Nickster.  The jig is up.  By the looks of things, Miss Minaj may have stock in spandex… Perhaps she is smarter than I thought.

Thoughts?

Why Did You Wear That: There She Blows!

By |January 15th, 2011|Celebrity Style|

I mean, I can’t.  And I am fully aware that by posting this… I’m fueling the very problem I’m trying to extinguish.  All I really want is for Kim Kardashian to just. go. away. NOW.

Here is Kim at the Critic’s Choice Awards (why she is even there is beyond me).  I don’t know if I’m more horrified by the fact that her dress is mere breaths away from splitting at the seams or that Vera Wang is responsible for this monstrosity.  (I had to fact check this because I just could not believe Vera would be affiliated with any part of this).   While it is a departure from her standard spandex hoochie wear… the poor fitting of the gown just makes it appear vulgar.  Listen, silk satin isn’t for everyone, girl.

All I know is that they better have double stitched the back seam.

And with that, Kim K… be gone!

Why Did You Wear That: This Week’s Top 5 Looks

By |December 4th, 2010|Celebrity Style|

I struggled a bit this week trying to round up the best of the best in Hollywood. Probably has a lot to do with the overwhelming trend of black lace LBD’s. Everyone from Taylor Swift to Kylie Minogue was spotted in one. So, I finally found five lovely ladies deserving of this week’s best dressed list.

  1. Carrie Underwood in Jenny Packham for the CMA Artists of the Year Celebration. I wasn’t surprised I liked this look as soon as I saw it was Jenny Packham.
  2. Blake Lively at Footwear News Achievement Awards wearing Prabal Gurung and Christian Louboutin shoes (of course). Does she ever look bad?
  3. Reese Witherspoon in a Dolce & Gabbana dress and Jimmy Choo shoes while revealing her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Looking as American as apple pie. 
  4. Fergie wearing a hot pink D&G blazer and Helmut Lang leather pants at the launch of Avon Voices.  Hey, at least her outfit is better behaved than her husband…
  5. Most improved award goes to Katy Perry wearing Georges Chakra with Brian Atwood heels at the Grammy Nominations Concert.  Yay! Katie is wearing her grown up outfit!

Why Did You Wear That: Slave 4 Fashion

By |December 3rd, 2010|Celebrity Style|

I mean I hate to kick a horse while she’s down… especially right after her birthday… but a crime against fashion is a crime against fashion. It’s no secret that I’ve never been a huge Brit Brit fan, but I was rooting for her comeback as much as the next girl. I, along with Elin Woods, understand the rage she felt when slamming into that car with an umbrella.

So, it pains me to see that her comeback was only a fleeting moment in time and she has resorted back to looking like this:

Oh, Brit. Where shall I begin? It seems like an oxymoron to have a shirt buttoned up to your chin while wearing shorts that the pockets are hanging out of. And… are those… BEDAZZLED UGGS? Ugh, is right. What do you get the girl who has everything this year for Christmas? Hopefully, a stylist.

don’t let me be the last to know…

Why Did You Wear That: Natalie Portman

By |November 26th, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Explain to me why a girl who is so young and so pretty insists on dressing like an out of work librarian? I get it. She’s not one of those Hollywood party girls. She’s smart- and I respect that, but that’s no reason to look double, or even triple her age. Recently, photos of her wearing only a thong were leaked on the internet. I have to say, it was the best I’ve ever seen her look.

Exhibits A, B, and C:
