Styled Up

Dr. Seuss’s 3D film, “The Lorax” hot the red carpet premiere a few days ago and the cast dressed to impress. Taylor Swift’s look was elegant and yet simple vintage-style with a cream colored honor dress and nude heels. This is what I like to call, keeping it simple and I love it! From the cutout detail around the neck to the wonderful hair cut it was an adorable look.

During the the Grammys, Nicki Minaj decided to appear in a red, drapey, Versace-designed nun like dress and she was with a man dressed up like the pope. Now looking at her dress, all I could think is, “What is she trying to do here”, Why would she decide to dress like that?”, maybe she was thinking that she might turn some heads and gain the spotlight. Well mission accomplished, she got what she wanted but not in a good way. This look doesn’t even work in Nicki Minaj. To make matters worse, her performance didn’t help at all, in fact it annoyed the Catholic church with her mock representation of an exoticism, dancing monks and for the finally, Nick Minaj levitating. This is an embarrassing for her career and it’s too bad because Nicki is a great rapper with so much to give.

You may have missed Lady Gaga’s midnight smooch with Mayor Bloomberg but there is no way you missed her ensemble! Gaga, who is known for her “out there” style, sported a Versace gown with a diamond studded mask that covered most of her face. Still not impressed? This over-the-top outfit was only for her entrance. For her actual performance she rocked a Catwoman-like sequin suit with exaggerated shoulder pads and of course heels so tall her feet are practically vertical. Finally, for her after party at her father’s new restaurant, Joanne’s, she went for a more classic look that was quite glamorous. Her last gown looks like a Marilyn Monroe inspired look with her own Gaga twist. 2011 has been quite the year for Lady Gaga! We expected something totally bizarre yet fabulous from Gaga, but she outdid herself once more by wowing her fans with not one but three amazing numbers.

Girls, if you want to look as stunning and seductive as Emma Watson in her latest ad, forget about lip glosses and say “Hello” to a new lipsticks line by Lancôme. The cosmetic company is launching a new line of lipsticks and nail polishes called Rouge in Love and Vernis in Love that’s geared towards the young generation.
According to Youcef Nabi, president of Lancôme International, “…the idea is to make this young generation — that has been a gloss fan — come back to using lipsticks…they were complaining about the fact that the classical lipsticks were heavy on lips.　 So we invented a formula which is a brand new generation of texture that is at the same time very intense color and six-hour perfect wear.”

To make the new lines more alluring to young women, the company plans to introduce a new app, Virtual Mirror, along with the lipstick.

Gaga’s on the Edge of Gory. Earlier this year, rumors went around that the singer was in the process of creating a new perfume that integrated the scent of both blood and semen. Turns out the rumors were half right–she is actually basing the perfume on the molecules of her own blood. The idea behind Lady Gaga’s creation is to have a sense of “her” on each and everyone’s skin. Sounds like a rather unique and distinctive smell to us. Would you wear it?

Katy Perry added a conservative twist to her wardrobe as she wore a blush pink knee- length dress while debuting the launch of her new Nordstrom-exclusive perfume, “Meow,” at the retailer’s Los Angeles store. Katy is well known for her unique, outrageous attire so it was certainly odd seeing her all covered up, but the dress was still tight enough for the sexy singer to show off her curves. She may have revealed one curve too many as some have pointed out a suspiciously pregnant-looking belly. Katy has spoken before about having children with husband Russell Brand. Is it possible the debut of her new perfume gave us a hint of the pregnancy announcement to come?
