Twilight Screening

Big time Twilight fans, the who's who of Hollywood, turned out for a private intimate screening of the latest installment "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." I was going to post and talk about Kristen Stewart's dress but for some reason I was drawn to one on Sofia Vergara.  I love this white black combination, a perfect dressed up but still dressed down look!

Fox and Green Wed

Some say Megan Fox is the next Angelina Jolie, others say Angelina can't be touched in the bombshell looks.  No matter the case she has know tied the knot with long time on again off again boyfriend Brian Austin Green on Beverly Hills 90210 fame.  She looks great here at the GQ bash in LA, recently.  No matter married or not we hope she keeps up the fashion styling that has drawn us to look to her for the latest prom and formal inspiration.

Dakota Fanning's Transformation

We are so use to seeing the "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" star as a the dark Jane, to see her in a trendy Valentino short dress is shocking.  Although she is a fashion diva, she even admits to changing her wardrobe from girls to dark from day to day.

We have to say the design and style of her red carpet choice is amazing!  Love the dress and even love the shoes, as long as someone else is wearing them! OUCH!

Katy Perry Mania

Katy Perry is everywhere!  The fresh faced songbird has made a name in the Hollywood spotlight.  But her latest look makes us wonder if she is taking on the Lady Gaga shock style.  Although Katy's look is never completely tame, the blue hair and nude/bead dress has major shock factor.    However, it is the MTV Awards and regular red carpet demure and sophistication do not apply to this awards, we still expect better!

Pantsuit - Please Not Again

Everyone has sounded off about how bad Lindsay Lohan looked at the MTV Awards and we even have to say that she could and should have done better (still hiding the new anklet she HAS to wear).  What we have to remember is some stylist told her she looked good! We've often wondered why anyone thinks revisiting the fashion mistakes of the past will make them popular again. Saying the Pantsuit/Jumpsuit choice was bad does not help the fact that the ombre is choppy and does not help her look or the outfit.  We wish her the best but on top of all the changes she needs to make lets add new stylist to the list!
