Hello LaPazions, we see that Donatella Versace has done it again, and by done it again; we mean she has become a bedfellow with another great name in entertainment the one and only fabulous Beyoncé and the Mrs. Carter world tour. I know you all are like well that’s no surprise because, we’ve seen Beyoncé rocking several of the Designers looks. We know that Versace isn’t new to the music industry or designing looks for the entertainers because, she’s dressed Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry and many others. We’re glad to see that Donatella has give Queen Bee another look other than bodysuits and leotards. Here is a look at the drawings for two looks during this tour:beyonce-versaceThis may not translate as fabulous on this paper but, wait for it LaPazions it’s gorgeous. The long gown is like mesh or a chain-male with crystals just beautiful the sparkle is almost blinding. The shorter dress is inlayed with beautiful details and crystals:tumblr_n1djo9e2ek1rqgjz2o1_1280tumblr_n1dk1nopiZ1rqgjz2o1_1280With Beyoncé's fabulous figure she makes these gowns just pop and you know she brings her glam to the stage at every opportunity. Look at what she gave us during the music awards with her performance of “Dunk in Love” with her husband Jay-z. Yes again Beyoncé has stepped her style game up to the next level and all these other little performers will be chasing after her again!!tumblr_n1djngjKL21rqgjz2o1_1280

Grammy’s Red Carpet Review

Grammy-2014-2015

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senior Editor: Leah Leslie

Article by: Marisol DeGaines

Photographs by: Brandon Gilmore

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!

Article by: Sonya LaRae- Certified Image Consultant/Certified Lifestyle Coach

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.

Article by: Sonya LaRae-Certified Image Consultant/Lifestyle Coach

Hey LaPazions, you know I just told about RiRi taking the cosmetic industry by storm with launching her new fragrance ROUGE. Now we find out that Rihanna has been named/signed as the new face and muse of Parisian label Balmain! I mean in all honesty there is not too much that this young lady isn’t getting into now. From her Designer label River Island, TV show Styled to Rock,Cosmetics with MAC. Is there really anything that Rihanna isn’t doing?

I know this label wasn’t really mainstream or looked at by the rock/pop world, Balmain was known for dressing royalty and Hollywood mainstreamers, of that glamour era:pierre-balmain-designsNow they’re catering to a new bread and era, they have younger generation stepping into the light. I love that the ever so diversified photographer Olivier Rousteing brought out another side of Rihanna in this photo shoot and we love that she always brings her A-game:Rihanna Model for Balmainrihanna-balmain1 You know this comes right on the heels of Gaga doing her campaign for Versace, so these two ladies are bring their brand full-circle. Do your thing RiRi we cannot wait to see what’s her next venture!

What do you think of Rihanna being named the face of Balmain?

THR’s 22nd Women in Entertainment:

Cover of THR

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senior Editor: Leah Leslie

Photos provided by: A. Brandenkowski-Lapazimageing

Article by: Sonya LaRae-Certified Image Consultant/Lifestyle Coach

Hey LaPazions, this past Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at The Beverly Hills Hotel the 22nd annual The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment took place. Let me just tell you it was the who of who in attendance and everyone was doing their style best. I have to tell you I love covering the red carpet for events like this and to be able to really breakdown things for you all.

First up is the one and only Kim Kardashian, who rocked a yellow over coat and a satin citron yellow dress that complimented her curves. The new mommy to North looked great but, I have to tell you Kanye West is smarter than the momanger Kris Jenner (which was also in attendance). Why am I saying this regarding Mr. West? I’m saying this because, he is making Kim more relevant than just being the “Butt” seen across the world. This man is so cleaver yes he’s dumbed down her brand a bit and changed her some but, the thing is he is showing her that less is more and she is sexy even without trying so hard:Kim KardashianThis isn’t a great pose she is striking and I have to be honest and say I still don’t like the blonde hair but, she really looked great. Another Kardashian that looked fabulous at the event was Khloe and I loved her short white dress that she opted to wear. In light of the news that she filed for divorce from her husband Lamar Odom; Khloe looked radiant and happier than ever:Khloe KardashianI loved Naya Rivera and Big Sean they look so good together and she just knows how to rock fashion. Naya, always is red carpet ready and her clothing just compliments her shape. The newly engaged couple just always looks photo ready and sexy:Big Sean and Naya RiveraNaya RiveraAs I stated earlier Kris Jenner was in attendance and she wore this hounds’-tooth jacket that didn’t really flatter her at all. Matter of fact it made her look a little heavy and dowdy:Kris JennerOMG! Lady O (Oprah Winfrey) just arrived and she looks stunning in her shocking pink dress that is doing it for her. I love that Oprah is really embracing her curves and just living life fabulous. Her girl Gayle King is also here and she is doing her norm of understatement so well:Oprah WinfreyGayle KingWhy did Demi Lovato show up in her mothers dress? I mean in all honesty this is a young fashionista who just needs to embrace her curves, celebrate that she’s one of the hottest young talents on TV. Seriously fire your current Stylist and hire someone who is going to celebrate you and help you look your best:Demi Lovato It was also nice to see Mandy Moore out and about but, what exactly is she doing? I mean I haven’t seen her in any new movies, no new music nothing. I’d love to see her back in the studio making some music that is fitting to her life. If I wasn’t familiar with her I wouldn’t have recognized her at all:Mandy MooreMaria Shriver was on the carpet because she was going to be giving her friend Oprah Winfrey her award. She looked like Maria in her very basic dress, I love how she is very comfortable in her own skin:Maria ShriverThis was such a fabulous event and it was really nice to see some of the new stars mingling with older celebrities and really looking like they genuinely was enjoying themselves.

Make sure you join our facebook page to see the rest of the stars that attended this amazing event; located at http://www.facebook.com/lapazimageing
