Fashion Police Called At Law Abiding Citizen Premiere

Sadie — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:30:00 EDT

The Los Angeles premiere of Law Abiding Citizen at Grauman's Chinese Theatre provided food for thought - if by "food" you mean "minis, thigh-highs and pearls" and "thought" you mean either "confusion" or "Gerard Butler." And so it begins:

Viola Davis thinks pink!

Brooke Mills is apparently a fan of Speedo's women's styling.

Sanaa Lathan does several trends - gray, mini, a hint of glitz - to perfection.

This is the sort of getup a girl of Emerald Young's age can really get behind!

Claudia Jordan's graphic prints are pretty, but...do her shoes seem about to slip off? Maybe she's made the mistake of applying that genius Band-Aid non-friction balm, not realizing that it's a catch-22 and prevents friction because your foot won't stay in it.

Regina Hall's 20's layers are a tad costume-shop, but have their charms...

As Vail Bloom shows, there's sweet, and then there's florals and pink pumps and headbands and pearls.

Tasha Smith takes mini to a new, almost-no-pants level.

See, normally it's a good idea, as the ladymags will tell you, to choose one trend: thigh-high boots or epaulet jackets, for instance. Eva Pigford respectfully disagrees.

He makes this look easy. And seriously, who else could overcome Phantom?

Stars Rock The Red Carpet At NAACP Image Awards

Jennifer — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:30:00 EST

Last nights' NAACP Image Awards honored members of the African-American community (Aretha, Stevie) for various achievements, but one of the great unspoken achievements of the evening was the red carpet-wear. The women, on the whole, all looked beautiful, sophisticated, and fresh: America Ferrera was radiant, Chandra Wilson sparkled, and Jordin Sparks boasted a million-watt smile. There were, of course, the inevitable unfortunate choices. And while it would give anyone great glee to see Omarosa in an all-wrong dress, it hurs me to see Sydney Poitier (Death Proof) and Vanessa Williams looking less than their best. I did a double-take, however, when I saw Eva Pigford, left, who looks like an old-school glamor girl now: She's come so far since her days under Tyra's tutelage! The full Good, Bad, and Ugly after the jump.

The Good:
Short and sparkly looks great on Chandra Wilson.
Kate Walsh: Case in point of why I'm crazy for navy.
Jordin Sparks: The girl next door gets all dressed up — and looks great.
America Ferrera is nothing short of picture perfect.

The Bad:
Will someone please tell me what happened to Jurnee Smollett?
Sydney Poitier's dress just looks dated and tired.
Omarosa: Still fired.
Vanessa Williams' dress could have been great.

The Ugly:
I spy with my bionic eye an Erin Fetherston for Target heart tote bag on the arm of CCH Pounder.
Did Christel Khalil wear her saloon girl Halloween costume on the red carpet?

BET Awards: From Raunchy To Ross And Back Again

Jennifer — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:15:21 EDT

Oh, it wasn't all fashion (Bone Thugs N') Harmony at last night's BET Awards. While some of the designs on display were models of restrained femininity, others were... well, less so. Image gallery and snap sartorial judgments — plus random white dude — after the jump.

Pretty ladies! From left to right: Former 'America's Next Top Model' winner Eva Pigford, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, and chartbuster Rihanna.

Too leopardy, too short, too tight. From left to right: Eve, Ciara, Jennifer Hudson.

The old, the new, the white dude. From left to right: Diana Ross, Tracee Ellis Ross, Michael Buffer
