Grammy’s Red Carpet Review

Hey LaPazions, so another amazing Grammy Awards has come and, in the words of Beyoncé “We Be All Night” on the red carpet breaking down the stars style. I have to tell you first up is the one and only Beyoncé, who wore past Project Runway contestant Michael Castello: Beyonce Beyoncé was owning this look and rocking her new short haircut. I mean this lace gown was well fitted and looked beautiful on her but, I don’t feel her makeup was that great and the performance was just okay for me. I love that she is not afraid to show people that yes I maybe a mother but, I’m also a wife and a killer performer.

We know that pregnancy is beautiful and that mom’s to be are just glowing and gorgeous when they are with child but; I’m so sorry not so much with Ciara. I mean the hair color the gown which was by Designer Emilio Pucci just missed the mark for us:CiaraI put this look right up there with her BFF Kim K when she attended the MET Gala. I mean its not as bad as the floral design Kim went with but; its not flattering to her nor her baby bump.

Katy Perry took music very literal with this gown that she selected by Valentino Couture:TKaty PerryThis gown is beautiful but, I just didn’t read as a Grammy Red Carpet look. It looked more prom like, sweet sixteenish to us here at Lapazimageing Fashion Forward. One thing though with Katy being a Covergirl, her face was beat and she looked beautiful and fresh. Not going to comment on the hair because, for me it wasn’t doing much for me.

Rita Ora was on the red carpet and I didn’t care for her look nor her dress. I mean I love Designer Lanvin but, not so much for her nor for this particular event:Rita OraI didn’t feel this particular dress complimented her figure and the color was just off and the shoes just missed the mark. I love Rita normally and her style choices but, this was a misstep for this award red carpet.

Pause hold the phone did you see Amber Rose? OMG!! She looked Ahmazing and I mean stunning. Amber selected Designer Naeem Khan’s gold gown and it just complimented her body-shape, skin tone and I love that she covered her tattoos. She was flawless and by the way she is also a new mom:Amber RoseWait is this really Madonna? I mean come on who does she think she is Colonel Saunders or some old pimp and to top off her madness, she brought her son with her not Rocco but, the youngest. I swear then it got worse when she took the stage with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis:MadonnaI’m sorry I know this was a Ralph Lauren suite but, she just looks like she’s “Breaking Amish” or is this what her style has become since she is all the way into her 50’s trying to keep it young with her 20ish boy-toys. I hated her look on the red carpet and I hated it more on stage the white suite and hat which, just was screaming go home old lady and bring Madonna back.

Speaking of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, they looked very sharp on the red carpet and gave such a great performance and one that will be remembered for a long time. They brought Colonel/Breaking Amish Madonna on stage and Queen Latifah:Macklemore & Ryan LewisTaylor Swift just seems to get the red carpet superstar look. I mean this gown by Gucci Premiere, was stunning and complimented her body. Only thing I didn’t care for so much was the ponytail it just didn’t fit this look. Taylor should’ve just kept her new shorter haircut down and just soft like her performance:Taylor SwiftWow! I love Paris Hilton, she is really owning her gown woman/top DJ status. I mean she looked fabulous in this stunning Haus of Milani gown. Paris just get’s what it takes to look effortless on the red carpet from her hair, makeup and jewels she just knocked it out the box!:Paris HiltonI’m sorry we love our girl Kelly Osbourne but, in all honesty this Goth queen look didn’t do anything for me and it also caused a big debate in our offices at LaPaz and even my Editor-in-Chief begged to differ with my opinion. I feel this just missed the mark because Kelly is short and the gown seemed to overwhelm her:Kelly Osbourne I mean Badgley Mischka, is a fabulous Designer but, I just didn’t feel this look for her. Oh wait side-note: You know that Clive Davis gives her annual pre-Grammy party. Well, ended up that Kelly and her mother Sharron attended but, word is they got into a little heated argument with Jonah Hill’s brother Jordan Feldstein, which you know is Maroon 5’s manager. I mean Sharron took throwing food and drink’s on Feldstein. I know she is a mommy bear when it comes to her kids but, in all honesty she needs to learn when to pull it back and let security remove your issue or have the host kick this person out.

Pink took to the red carpet wearing a red gown by Designer Johanna Johnson. I have to say Pink’s body is really in excellent shape but, to me this gown didn’t compliment her sometimes kind of boyish figure:PinkI don’t know if it was just the cut or even the fabric that I just didn’t care for but, if you saw the show she killed her performance and I think Pink also needs to try out for a gymnastics team.

Good lord, I haven’t seen Alicia Keys for a moment but, she was on the red carpet last night and honey she got hips and but for days. I mean Ms. Keys was filling out her Armani Prive gown:Alicia KeysAside from all the rumors that Blake Sheldon and Miranda Lambert are having some marital issues, she looked stunning on the red carpet. Miranda has slimmed down and gotten in shape, which by the way brings us to her red carpet look. I loved the red gown the color was great on her skin tone but, I wasn’t so sure if I liked the cut and style on her. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback:Miranda LamberI love Daft Punk I mean they take that whole robot thing to the next level but, they dress their butts off when it comes to the red carpet. I love how stylish they are and they should’ve help Pharrell Williams with his look. Lord what exactly was he attending? I mean come on you’ve been nominated for Grammy and Oscar and this is how you decided to show up please give it a rest:Daft Punkpharrell-williams-hatI don’t really know but, I love when you go to a red carpet and you see breathtaking looks and just cannot stop gushing over a look but, not so much for this Grammy carpet. I mean we loved John Legend in Gucci with new wife Chrissy Teigen in Johanna Johnson but, still it wasn’t a stop the presses moment:John Legend and Chrissy TeigenWe also had two of the hottest Disney stars out on the red carpet they looked cute. Zendaya wore Emanuel Ungaro and Ariana Grande wore Dolce and Gabbana. I think the young ladies looked very age appropriate and that they looked fresh:ZendayaArianna GrandeI have to tell you I loved Cyndi Lauper’s look. I thought the Alexander McQueen outfit looked really good on her and I thought the jewelry could have been brought down from around her neck but, all and all I loved this look on her and I could see Sonya LaRae rocking something like this:Cyndi Lauper

We made it through another Grammy red carpet and it wasn’t that eventful and some of the bigger names that we love to see weren’t even present. I feel the red carpet was as boring as the show and matter of fact I hope that that the AMA’s are better then this.

I cannot wait to hear your feedback and your thoughts regarding our red carpet coverage.

New Marc Jacobs Campaign

LOGO

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senior Editor: Leah Leslie

Article by: Marisol DeGaines-Certified Image Consultant/Fashion Journalist

Hey LaPazions, it seems as if you have poor behavior and twerk your way back into popularity, you get rewarded with high-end campaigns with major Designers such as, Marc Jacobs. Marc’s latest campaign for his S/S14 collection, he’s decided to use and reward none other than Miley (I’ll smoke weed publicly on stage/TV)Cyrus. Personally, I just don’t get what is so hot or interesting about a young woman how is desperately seeking attention, be it good or bad. I know it’s all and act but, we have other young people who are looking and idolizing these young starlets and mirroring their poor behavior. 

This brings us to the campaign, I don’t know to me and let me stress in my opinion; it feels very heavy, dark and moody. It’s supposed to be shot on a beach with like her “friends” just hanging out. Well let me just say if these are her friends and how they hangout on the beach honey they need and intervention quickly. The look and feel is as if they just killed the one young lady and they are trying to figure out what to do next or how to cover the crime:campaignMJS-S14 MJ Miley CyrusThis campaign looks as dis-shoveled as Marc’s last runway show which, we just didn’t get the message or direction. I don’t exactly know what is taking place in his life (breakup from long-term lover, departure from LV) but, whatever it is we’ll be very happy when the balance returns to MJ.

What do you think of the campaign? Do you think he should’ve used Miley Cyrus? Is this the biggest publicity stunt of stunts Marc is pulling?

We cannot wait to hear your feedback!

Hello LaPazions, and welcome back for another great year! 2013 went out a little quiet but, we had a lot of things take place during the year. Now that 2014 is here we know that it’s going to be just as exciting and with new/bigger and better things to go on; which brings us to this very article.

As many of you know we haven’t heard nor seen anything from the original Queen B Lil Kim in who knows how long. Then we saw her out and about at this past seasons MTV awards and was very excited to see her and, to hear that she is going to be working on some new music. Then we get these stunning photos from her recent photo shoot with Rollout Magazine and we have to say that Lil Kim is looking pretty good. Kim tells Rollout Magazine, that she couldn’t do much due to legal issues but, she owns her own label now and she’ll have some new music coming out mid-summer. I know you all are just dyeing to see what Queen B looks like now aren’t you? Well I won’t keep you any longer:Lil-Kim-covers-Rolling-Out-1Yes this is Lil Kim all grown up and doing it for the magazines cover and layout article. She’s holding her own. Kim, also speaks about how the media is obsessed with her looks but, hey do you blame us I mean this look and the cover:Lil-Kim-covers-Rolling-OutIs a far cry from the Lil Kim of let’s just say, 1999 when she walked onto the stage with Diana Ross with the purple pasties and Boss Ross fluffed her boob. I mean who really would ever forget that moment:o-LIL-KIM-PURPLE-PASTY-570o-LIL-KIM-PURPLE-PASTY-570-1We look forward to seeing more from Lil Kim and we hope that her new label, artist and her music does extremely well.

We cannot wait to hear your feedback on this article and what you think of Lil Kim’s new look and direction.
