Jay-Z Wears A BROOCH On His Denim Jacket; IDK If That's A Coming Trend...

Jay-Z was spotted walking to a meeting in NYC, wearing a classic denim jacket... with a brooch on it. It looks like a replica of 'Watch The Throne' album cover. Not that I'm discussing music, but rather the ART that goes into it. Anyway, I'm not sure if brooches may be a coming trend; I do know that I've seen guys wear 'hearts' as brooches on their blazer or jacket, but an ACTUAL GRANDMA BROOCH??

Hmm.. I got to do a lil' investigating to see if that's a trend...

Angela Simmons and New Artist Rita Ora in Gold 'Mirrored' Maison Martin Margiela Sneakers

It really seems that once a designer can get ahold of the interests of a celeb, their line can really take off! So check out socialite and businesswoman Angela Simmons and new Jay-Z managed artist RITA ORA rocking these gold Maison Martin Margiela sneakers.

SO, SO BOSS for these women. And hey... guys are wearing the silver ones. It's a UNISEX kind of sneaker. Rock 'em out-- for those on a budget, there are similar sneakers by Steve Madden and Aldo that you could check out.

Dang... this girl looks so much like Rihanna; ain't it a coincidence that she was in the same city at the same time (London) while Rihanna was promoting her movie 'Battleship'?

Pink can be pastel, and pink can be HOTT.. in this case, the beautiful Christina Milian was wearing hot pink in pants and shoes. Christina wore YSL tribute sandals. Heels like that can really attract a guy; good work on that...

Rihanna always brings her 'A' game, especially when she's out doing promotions either for her 'Loud' Album, 'Talk That Talk' album, and now her first movie, 'BATTLESHIP.' She was spotted wearing this nice, wrapped, dark olive dress with the Karen Walker 'Number 1' plastic vanilla wood framed sunglasses for $220. She also wore her favorite Louboutins.

The whole look was a mix of professional, chic, and fun all at once.

Beyonce and Blue Ivy Swathed In FUR; Still Can't See Blue... Dang....

Beyonce, Blue Ivy, and Tina Knowles were spotted stepping out of their loaded MILLION-DOLLAR van (loaded with Direct TV, Wi-Fi, whatever else, maybe even a crib for Blue). Beyonce and Blue Ivy were swathed in fur, and Bey kept the style moving down to her feet, showing off them yellow heels. And Tina... she's such the COUGAR in all-black.

Good looking, fam... just wish I'd see more of Blue.

Hmm.... gotta smell that one.

For The Ladies & Aspiring Fitness Models: ROMEO MILLER For BRAVE Magazine

I thought I'd post this for the ladies: ROMEO MILLER.

I posted this because I thought about doing a shot like this; it's very natural, laid back, but at the same time draws female viewers, a target of those who love to SHOP. If I could do a shoot like this sometimes this summer, it may be a good draw to my new necktie and bowtie line, 'Vintage Ties by JAIDEN Detroit'.

On the other hand, this post is not only for the ladies but for the guys who need a template of how to look as far as FITNESS before doing a shoot like this. I'm getting there as far as my workout regimen so instead... you'll be looking at ME. *LoL*

Aretha Franklin Turns 70; Celebrates In Respectable Clothing Than Previous Years

So ARETHA FRANKLIN turned 70 this past weekend, and she celebrated it with great friends (in NYC) like BET's Debra Lee, Diane Sawyer, and Clive Davis.

Aretha looked very pretty for 70, and did indeed wear respectable clothing like this perfect look she wore for her 70th B-DAY, a far cry from spaghetti-strap gowns which strained to hold up her enormous breasts (just sayin'...) Take a look at Aretha's sequined dress and silver fox coat:

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks Lookin' Hott Together At Celeb Fight Nite

I didn't know that these two were a couple.

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks were spotted at Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night in Phoenix, Arizona. They appeared to be lovey-dovey and having a great time. Jordin wore this flattering leopard gown brought into elegance with chandelier earrings and a pulled-back 'do. Jason Derulo sported a cut-out crocodile tux with a blinged-out neckbrace (he had an incident were he injured himself during a performance).

They both looked great; Jason's tux really gave me a second look.... interesting design.

MIAMI HEAT SHow Their Support For Trayvon Martin By Wearing Hoodies UP!

LEBRONJAMES tweeted this picture of his Miami Heat showing national support for Trayvon Martin. All hoodies were UP in honor of him. Wow, this dear boy is getting national attention from just about all people who own a hoodie.

This crime was truly senseless; not for self-defense...but it takes on deeper meaning than you think, especially if you're an African-American.

SHEREE From Real Housewives Of ATL Looks A Tad... Buff!

Sheree from Real Housewives from Atlanta.... yep it's her in the above picture, carrying a gray Hermes handbag.

Something's a little different about her. On some days, she's womanly, and on some days, she's looking muscular and looks like she could pass for a female wrestler.

MOVIN' ON....

Kim Kardashian FLOURED DOWN By Random Lady On Red Carpet!!

It's amazing how some celebs keep their cool!

First Ryan Seacrest, now KIM KARDASHIAN!! She was floured down on the red carpet by a random spectator who came ALL THE WAY UP TO HER, and security did nothing to the lady until powder was already poured on the Kim's head and shoulders. Kim instantly put her head down and brushed it off as she was swiftly led away by security.

That lady was caught, though...

See more pics and details by Yahoo!

"She came from Kim's left, with a Zip-Lock baggie," an Access Hollywood staffer on the scene said, noting the bag had about three fists full of white powder, believed to be flour. "The girl just kind of showed up on the red carpet."
According to the Access staffer, who witnessed the event, no one stopped the woman, as she a
"She went in between Kim and her publicist and started dumping the bag on Kim's head and shoulders," the staffer recounted.
Only a small amount of the powder actually touched the reality star, landing on her head and shoulders.pproached Kim.

B.E.T.'s 2012 'Rip The Runway' Tonight!! (UPDATE; Includes REVIEW and Grade Of Show)

(Scroll down for complete review and grade of BET's 'Rip The Runway')

B.E.T.'s 'Rip The Runway' is a relatively young show that has really taken FASHION to another level by bringing it to the national airwaves (hence other competitors like NBC's 'Fashion Star'). The hosts for this year is Pooch Hall ('Derwin' from 'The Game') and supermodel Selita Ebanks.

If you know me, then you MUST know I'm all eyes and ears on this show. Guests are out-of-this-world fashion designers, as well as performers like Diggy Simmons and Jeremih, Estelle, Lil' Kim, Wale, and more.

Check out behind-the-scenes pics and videos and stay tuned to me by folowing me on Twitter @theonlyjaiden for up-to-date tweets about the show:

Update of 'Rip The Runway' 3/21/2012:

Rip The Runway was a very exciting show to behold, with performers in the midst of models strutting down the runway. Lots of Louboutins and Steve Maddens were spotted on the runway. Female models had OH SO MUCH beauty (mmm...) and the curvy girls who wore COLOR-BLOCKING clothes truly represented; a high point of the night. The male models, looking like straight out of a Sean John and GQ spread, carried tons of SWAGGER.

LaQuan Smith and the debut of Sass by Selita was also a high point.

On the downside, the show didn't deliver as much BANG as I thought it would. The decor, the background, the runway design, the hype crowd WON me over. The distraction was the performers all up on the runway with the models; I think the runway should be LEFT for the models while the performers do their shot 'off-center' like Robin Thicke did. Another distraction was I was hoping that the performers/models wouldn't bump into each other.

'Rip The Runway' celebrated urban designers but it seemed to be missing something; I'm honestly not exactly sure what it was. Was it that the program was too short (I didn't want it to end)? Was it the hosts (I thought Selita and Pooch were GREAT, but I would've preferred a little more behind-the-scenes interaction)? Was it that Angela Simmons was the only celeb to do a makeover on ONE girl (I wanted more makeovers for more girls)?

I shouldn't have to feel like I enjoyed NBC's 'Fashion Star' more than BET's 'Rip The Runway'.

You decide for yourself. The grade I give: B-

CIARA's Big '80s Hair; I Hope It's Just For A Performance...

I just hope CIARA wore this hair for a performance, because if she was for real...

LaLa Vasquez-Anthony Has An MALE Assistant Who Carries Her Purse!

Wow, LaLa Vasquez-Anthony is really coming into her own. The other day, her reality show 'LaLa's Full Court Life' launched its 3rd season, and she also made an appearance on BET's 'Let's Stay Together.' LaLa was also spotted leaving a restaurant meeting wearing this toned-down but eclectic look that included a side cut-out leopard print blouse, navy pants, and blood orange Louboutins.

That's not all; LaLa had a Hermes bag, it wasn't seen on her but on her male assistant. Hmm... got that BOSS power, huh?

Umm... STIRRUPS with $6,000 Louboutins?? That's Exactly What Rapper TRINA Did..

I don't know if this was thought to be a fashion statement, but in this picture above, it's CLEARLY NOT. Check out rapper Trina looking pretty in pink with her diamond G-Shock, blouse, and pink lipstick. There was also the acclaimed $6,000 Swarovski-encrusted Christian Louboutin heels... that were suddenly CHEAPENED with the black stirrups she wore.

That almost made it into my FASH, CRASH, AND BURN category of fashion fails but I don't think the $6,000 Louboutins should have to suffer.

TRINA would've been BOOOMB if those stirrups were just LEGGINGS.

Rihanna's New Collarbone 'CROSS' Tattoo!!

Rihanna has yet another one.

Sporting about at least 20 or so tattoos (correct me if I'm wrong), Rihanna has another tattoo, this time a small 'cross' on her collarbone. Has she found 'religion'? hmm... perhaps. All of Rihanna's tattoos are not jailhouse but are rather small and are deep in meaning, kind of like mine.

Sidenote: Tattoo artist is BANG BANG in New York

I also like Rihanna's tat and its placement because it can be hid under a necklace for fashion events and can be exposed at another time. On another note, check out the Ray-Bans. CLASSIC.

MOSCHINO Fall 2012 Women's Line Influenced By Marilyn Monroe and Amy Winehouse

MOSCHINO is one of my favorite labels after seeing this line, which had a lot of Marilyn Monroe and 'high-fashion biker' influence infused into the Fall/Winter 2012 look. I especially liked the head ribbon/cowboy hat/glasses theme which gave the female models a mixture of classiness and swagger.

I also see a little AMY WINEHOUSE in the looks.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Take a look at the above video if you haven't already.

Justin Bieber's Bloodiest Photo Shoot -- COMPLEX MAGAZINE

Wow, I think this is about the bloodiest photo shoot that I've seen of anyone in any magazine yet. Way to kick off COMPLEX MAGAZINE's 10th anniversary!

Check out Justin Bieber's photo shoot for them, he's dressed somewhat like a referee, with a bowtie, bloodied white shirt, black khakis, and Supra hightops. Justin is actually the son of a former MMA fighter, so I think it goes with the territory.

Cool concept!
