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.

The Art Of The Sublime In Rihanna's 'Where Have You Been' Music Video And Comparison To Beyonce's 'Run The World (Girls)'

Well, after waiting and waiting, Rihanna's 'Where Have You Been' music video has dropped. It has been anticipated to be somewhat tribal.. and TRIBAL was all up and through this video. I also couldn't help that the ambiance of the dance number resembled Beyonce's 'Run The World (Girls)', but nevertheless, these videos are in their own zone.



Rihanna adds her flavor by emerging from the water in ink-black hair, perfectly aiming for the camera, as if she's an otherworldly, Stargate-inspired girl looking and hunting for her 'love'. The other cultural looks brings about an international vibe, suggesting that the video can be related to every nationality. Beyonce's 'Run The World' is in a class by itself; it's almost as if no other copied version can ever top Beyonce's dance-in-the-sand routine. Rihanna comes pretty close, though.

Forming the EYE.... uhhh... several times that happened in the video. Colors and dance routines were good; I especially could see one of these looks being produced by Vivienne Westwood or any designer with a crazy flair of cultural style.

What's your take on it?

Rihanna At TIME 100 GALA For 100 Most Influential; Homegirl is STUNNIN'!!!!

Check out Rihanna as she attended the Time 100 Gala. She has been dressing a little rock-ish, grungy, and '80s for a while, but when it's time to glam up, she does it exceedingly well.

The pink gown, the black, sexy, and glossy hair, the perfect makeup... *PLEASANTLY OVERWHELMED*

Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith In Santa Monica; Willow Now Has Purple-Pink Hair!

Willow Smith attended an event with her mother, Jada, as they attended a premiere at Sundance, 'First Positions'. Jada was looking every bit beautiful with her white combo, tan clutch, and Christian Louboutin Lady Max heels.

Willow now sports PURPLE-PINK HAIR with it shaven on the sides. Shec ontinues her ROCKER look; looks like she's coming into her own, since she was appearing Rihanna'esque last year.

RIHANNA In A Conservative Vintage Dress... Until The Bottom Of The Dress Opens Up!

now I knew that, knowing Rihanna, she wasn't going to wear her vintage white dress AS-IS. As she came out of a restaurant, her dressed opened up at the bottom, revealing stockings in a stirrups design. What's unique about the stockings is that it's not actual stirrups; if you look closely, it's DRAWN-ON.

The complementary 'red' in the stirrups matched Rihanna's Louboutins quite well.

Rihanna In All-Black, Promoting 'Battleship' Movie In Australia

Rihanna definitely looks great in that ALL-BLACK look. She was in Sydney, Australia promoting her movie 'Battleship.' Seriously people, you cannot go wrong with wearing all black. Just make sure your all-black attire is fun-looking, fitted, or flowy. You definitely don't want to dress like you just got out of a funeral.

Also positive notes on Rihanna's side-swept black hair, bold red lipstick, and just-right makeup. Simple yet sophisicated and sexy.

The Art Of Music Video 'Take Care': Drake ft. Rihanna

And they're back, looking quite the couple, a seemingly sometimes estranged couple promising that whatever happens in life, they'll take care of each other.

Drake and Rihanna take a sharp contrast from their last video together, 'What's My Name', on Rihanna's LOUD album, by choosing to do black-and-white and a more serious tune in this video.

But let's look at this beautiful art. WOW... Drake had this in mind? Keep in mind, Drake has to have the final say before this video is released. The icy mountains, the fiery forests, the cultural dancer, especially the BULL, the sheer essence of each of the settings had really invoked some deep thoughts.

I bet many of you probably though based on the lyrics, the video would be slightly RAUNCHY. But it wasn't. That's what makes it so cool and interesting.

Quick Pic of Rita Ora In Bleached Denim & Red Chanel Handbag

A recent RITA ORA picture. That's a nice look, that bleached denim and red Chanel quilted leather purse, no? I say it's a good look along with that white lady's RED BOB.

Rita really looks like Rihanna, I bet that why Rih's went BLACK.

RIHANNA's New Look (Black Hair); She Rocks The Side-Shaved Hair Again!

Always the epitome of FUN in FASHION!

Check out Rihanna as she takes Instagram pics of her new black hair... and she's also rocking the SIDE-SHAVEN look again! The last time I've seen that was in 2009 after that... incident. I think it's pretty cool, not over-rated, considering that Rihanna changes her hair options a lot.

Still on COOL-GIRL mode...

Rihanna Out Promoting 'BATTLESHIP' In Karen Walker Sunglasses

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.

Gotta love this girl's versatility:

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.

LookBack: RIHANNA's Style In 'Russian Roulette' Live Performance (2010)

I was captivated by no other style like Rihanna's after she made her RE-DEBUT after the unfortunate 2009 incident (you know what I'm talking about, but both Chris Brown and Rihanna have reconciled).

Here's an example of the LookBack at Rihanna doing her AOL Live Performance of 'Russian Roulette'. The shaved hair, high blonde mohawk, makeup, bodysuit with golden chains, poise... she fully EMBODIED the vision of 'model and style', even though she's just a music superstar.

Rihanna In Steamy New Armani Jeans Ad; Sports New Lingerie Suggested To Females For Their 'Boo'

Rihanna has been rocking the internet with her bold, new Armani video ad, dropped Thursday. It shows Rihanna in her Armani collabo'ed lingerie, just writhing around in bed, while waiting to go to the airport at '6:00', which can be seen fingered on a steamy mirror as Rihanna draws herself a bath.

These pics are... 'PG'. *wink* Guys, if you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't be staring at this post too long. If you're MARRIED, then view my other fashion posts, unless you're looking for lingerie ideas for your wife *LoL*

Some of the pics are too much for this blog (I got teens who view this blog, too) but for full pics and video, visit http://celebuzz.com.

New Breakout Star, RITA ORA, Gives Rihanna Run For Her Money...With High-Fashion Taste!

Rita Ora in Hussein Chalayan

I first heard of Rita Ora on the fashion circuit, yesterday, while I was on the internet. First, I thought she was this new video model, but turns out Rita is this new singer that has been signed to Jay-Z's RocNation label. She also is supposed to be linked to Rob Kardashian.

So I checked out Rita's fashion choices, and I've got to say I've got this strong 'RATED R RIHANNA ERA' vibe off Rita. Now, Rita is her own person, but aside from Rihanna's dirty rocker look she's been sporting lately, it's nice to see something fresh.

See more pictures of Rita Ora in recent weeks:

Hmm... you BEST believe I'll be following this girl... RITA ORA, gotta remember that.

Rihanna Is All Covered Up (Which Is Almost a Rarity) and Wearing Elizabeth Taylor Sweatshirt

I want to show some UK love by putting up more pics of Rihanna in the UK (London). She was entirely covered up, which is quite the catch to look at sometimes (since she loves to show skin). She wore an Elizabeth Taylor sweatshirt and a long, flowy dress underneath. She paired it with a chunky necklace and oversized shades.

Rihanna Gone ROCKER to REGAL At 2012 Brit Awards; What A Change-Up!!

First of all, Rihanna's been rockin' her ROCKER CHICK in the U.S. for the longest time and put ot the filthy track 'Birthday Cake,' and now that she gets over to London for the Brit Awards, she's all DOLLED UP and GLAMMED UP? Maaaaann.... at least I get to see these great looks somewhere.

That is one stunning dress, studded in gold with like-patterned stilettos. The long, brown leather gloves are a nice touch, too.

Check out a couple looks that she had recently while in London:

Before the BRIT Awards, wearing this jersey knotted dress with heels and matching sheer socks.

Stepping out of a white Maybach 57, headed to a popular London restaurant. Paparazzi was seriously heavy that night...

More photos to come...

Rihanna Rocks A 'Flintstones' Vibe With 'BONE' Pants

Rihanna was spotted in London earlier last week for preparing to perform at the 2012 Brit Awards. She came outside in her usual ROCKER style she's been sporting lately. It's growing on me; I like this '80s vibe with the 'DINO BONES' pants she wore with an oversized leather varsity jacket and black sneakers. A red snapback cap was a nice touch, too.

Earlier in the week... Rihanna came in with this MILITARY vibe.... she probably attended London Fashion Week. Rihanna's not one to skip fashion.
