You know what time it is! Style to Steal or Girl, Stop time! We’re lucky this week to have so much to work with when it comes to the fashion choices of our favorite celeb women. And the trend seems to be that it’s time to pull those legs back out from hiding! Let’s take a look at the week’s best and worst ensembles to figure out who should stop it, and who we want to steal from ASAP.
Doing media rounds at fuse Studios this week, Ashanti showed up in this skintight, long-sleeved dress and got lots of attention. The color-block dress was a mix of black, orange, tan and baby blue, and she accessorized the look with bow-accented strappy black stilettos, sparkly bracelets, a few bold rings, and some HUGE statement earrings. I think homegirl should have stayed with one shade for her jewelry, but I have to give her credit: that dress looks great on her little figure. Plus, the makeup is looking fun and fresh. Steal!
While at an event in NYC on Tuesday, Selita Ebanks wowed everyone in this gorgeous sequin gown with one-shoulder and large sequin detailing. The dress not only had large disc-like sequins all over it, but it also had sheer panels on the sides and around the neckline that were covered with tiny sequins and showed a little skin. To accessorize, she wore silver sandals, a small red clutch (that matched the red carpet), and had an interesting wine-red lip. Stunning! Of course I’m going to have to steal this…
Look who stepped in front of the camera looking laid back and covered up! Ri Ri got jazzy for a photo shoot in Sydney, Australia wearing these leather shorts with a Great White Hype inspired T-shirt rolled up at the sleeves. On her feet were some very simple strapped heels, and on her neck was a chunky gold-link necklace to go with her gold bracelets and ring. She pulled her jet black hair up with a chic bang, and showed off a shiny red pout. I would probably not wear something like this, but I see what she was trying to do, and it’s not a bad look on her. Steal.
Roc Nation’s newest sensation, Rita Ora, attended an after-party for Cartier in this black gown with a plunging back and a matronly front. The long-sleeved dress hugged her figure well, and had small but interesting detailing on it, including the ruched backside that led to a flowing black train. And for jewelry, she went for gold pieces, including a bevvy of rings and a few long necklaces and a watch. She had a black clutch, bright red lip, and let her blonde hair stand out with fun ringlets. The material is a little too shiny for me, but I love the gold on black material. Hesitant steal.
One of our favorite singers (and people), Monica, did media rounds for her new album, New Life, all over NYC this week. While arriving for a taping at “Live With Kelly,” Monica showed up in these white cigarette pants with a black stripe on the side, a flowing black top, and a turquoise blazer. On her feet were peep-toe pumps, and her hair was looking very “ombre” in color and with these cute curls. While her hair was cute, this outfit? I’m not really feeling it like I thought I would. Girl, stop.
Monica also showed up to do press at J&R Music and Computer World in this interesting (to say the least) get-up. She wore these pink bottoms with a long gray button up (with rolled up sleeves), and a white top underneath it. On her feet were some see-through mesh Loboutin booties, and for accessories were a stack of gold bangles, a gold necklace, and a pink lip to match her pants. Once again, love Monica, but what in the hell? I’ve never seen anyone in the public eye wear such a confusing ensemble as this. The gray top with the bright neon pink pants and the radical shoes is just THE ABSOLUTE MOST. STOP IT!!!!
At a Marie Claire Beauty Awards event in Sydney, Australia, Mel B showed off her smoking post-baby bod in this one-shoulder design. The long-sleeved dress had some funky draping detail around the neckline, and it was a classy dress as it hit her knees. She went pretty minimal with the accessories though: just black pumps and her wedding ring. The hair is looking a little like it got thrown around by the wind, but her skin looks great. While I think her body looks amazing and her makeup is beautiful, the fit of the dress could be better, as well as the hair. Better luck next time baby girl. Stop it.
Last on our list is our girl Brandy. She also met up with Monica on “Live With Kelly” and to do so, showed up decked out in lace, fringe and more. She wore a skirt with a lace hemline and white fringe detail on black satin material and threw on a chunky belt. On top of that, she wore a black tank, a sheer tuxedo-inspired button up (love the collar), and black, strapped and pointed-toe mesh heels. Digging the slinky earrings, and her hair looks great. This is a very unique look, and while I was kind of confused by it at first, I think it looks great on her. Steal it, please and thank you!
All in all, Selita’s sparkly dress was my absolute favorite. It just catches your eye and keeps your attention with its bold details. Gots to have that. But until then…what looks did you like, and which were a hot mess? Let us know!
More on Madame Noire!
