Excerpt from Fashion Bomb Daily: The Best Gowns At 2012 MET GALA!

Who looked BEST?

This (pic) is an excerpt from Fashion Bomb Daily, via the 2012 Met Institute of Art Costume Gala. Many celebs came out to showcase some of their best look, often seen photographed with the designer of the gown. Now, I've posted four pics above of Paula Patton, Solange Knowles, Rihanna, and Beyonce, and I'm going to grade each of them.

First is Paula; she's every bit sweet and flowery with her personality, smile, and that stunning iridescent pink dress by Vera Wang. She gets an A- for that.

Next is Solange; she's in a class all by herself with her diva-like, Diana Ross hair with her sophisicated yellow dress by Rachel Roy. She gets a B for that.

Rihanna is next; WHAAAAAT HAPPENED BABY??! The dress, by Tom Ford, is cool with it's croc print, but the cut is boring even by Rihanna's standards... and the hair?? She gets a C- for that.

Beyonce? Gown by Ty Hunter. BEY? A.

Paula Patton in NYC in All-Black, Wearing Chanel Hightop Sneakers

Paula Patton was in NYC looking every bit her beautiful self. She is one of several celebs who can morph their looks anywhere from high-fashion to dressed down, as she looked in this picture. Even though she was dressed down, her 'labels' were not; She wore a Goyard totem bag, leather leggings, and Chanel high-top sneakers, a fancy re-take on the popular Converse 'Chuck Taylor' sneakers.

HOTT LOOK-- even more so in black.

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys With Baby Egypt... Egypt Has Swag On 100!

Check Out baby Egypt at the Knicks game over the weekend. Dad SWIZZ BEATZ looked great in blue with his Nikes, rolled-up denim shirt and Grey Ant sunglasses, and mom ALICIA KEYS looked great in her Keith Haring - inspired pink jacket, but baby Egypt...

STOLE THE SHOW!

I like his denim getup with Jeremy Scott winged sneakers, one in blue and one in red.

SWAG on 100!!

Ex- 'Love & Hip Hop' Emily B At New York Knicks Playoffs In Purple Giuseppe Zanotti Bowtie Heels!

Emily B has been out and about after her stint on 'Love & Hip Hop', and she's known as a SHOE-FREAK! Check her out in purple bowtie Giuseppe Zanotti heels, and a very nice look to go with it, indeed. I like the seemingly dressed-down look with the flower blouse, denim jacket, and turquoise fitted pants.

The white Hermes bag? Nice touch with the white blouse.

Fash, Crash, and Burn: Lil' Wayne's BIG RED FUZZY UGGS

Some say Lil' Wayne is just being Lil' Wayne. I just say Wayne lost his mind; that's exactly why he's in my 'Fash, Crash, and Burn' category for those FUZZY UGGS he wore with his Trukfit clothing. The only thing that looked good on Wayne was his red Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. Even the guy next to Wayne is better-dressed; those Jordan sneakers can't fail, though.

I guess Lil' Wayne is determined to be a bad fashion egg with each passing week.

J-Lo MURDERS The Game With Her Hip-Huggin', $8,000 LANVIN Dress!!

Jennifer Lopez, J-LO, was spotted in Hollywood, announcing her world tour in this $8,000 LANVIN number with attached Swarovski snake embroidered around the neck. She added EXTRA with her Giuseppe Zanotti ankle strap stilettos.

What a powerful, LADY-IN-CHARGE look! The guy in the pic is her new boyfriend Casper Smart, stepping out of a wet-black Rolls-Royce Ghost, valued at $300,000+.

Famed Photographer Annie Leibovitz Shoots Gap Hong Kong Ad Ft. Pharrell Williams

There's just something about photographer Annie Leibovitz's work. She just seems to effortlessly capture the essence of a moment without making anything seem 'staged'.

Check out Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. doing a Gap Hong Kong ad, which was shot by Leibovitz. Pharrell has his usual dressed-down, never ragged, 'I'm Just Me' - kind of look. He wears the red Gap hoodie, faded jeans, and his customized boots.



...And there's Great Annie in the middle. What BIG FEET you have! Ok movin' on...

Sneaker of the Day: Christian Louboutin '20 Ans' Red Sneakers

Check these out, the new Christian Louboutin '20 Ans' red sneakers. I like the wording (you can see 'MIKA' and 'BOY' in it, don't know the connection but it's still cool) and I especially love RED sneakers. Red sneakers always provide a POP to otherwise basic clothing.

Also check the embellished crystal blue Louboutins in the top left corner of the pic.

The Kardashian Family Meets W/ The Audience; Discusses The Upcoming 'Keep Up With The Kardashians' ; Check Their Individual Styles

This family is quite the case study. I would like to figure out how does the Kardashian family have such 'staying power' over all the reality stars who seem to dwindle from the spotlight. Check out the four women above as they discuss with an New York audience their newest season of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians,' which renewed its lease for three more years, $40 MILLION.

Also check out their individual style from left to right. Kourtney is pregnant wearing her LBD (little black dress) with detailing on the bottom, and accessorized with yellow chunk necklace and neon pink heels (not shown). Khloe wears a black, asymmetrical hem dress. Matriarch Kris Jenner wears a bodycon dress to accentuate her curves, and Kim wears a black and white lampshade dress with black strappy sandals.



Kim had a different look, but kept the sandals (earlier in the day)
