Naomi Campbell - So Not an Angel!

Naomi Campbell at an event over the weekend.

TB: When I first saw this, I thought Naomi might be shooting an ad or something - not true. She was actually dressing herself like this for a high profile event. Naomi - don't even pretend to be an angel!

CC: This is a joke, right?

CI: It must be Halloween, because we all know Naomi is not an angel. And it certainly takes some mighty big balls to dress yourself as one.

Soap Stars Know How To Sizzle!

As my two co-horts are on a long weekend, I thought I would take a bit of a break and bring the best super hot, sizzling, stylin' soap stars from an event that happened just last night in LA.

Just look how hot these ladies are - they got it right. All of them.

Leven Rambin, Marie Wilson, Melody Thomas Scott, Stephanie Gatschet,
Ashley Jones, Ewa Da Cruz, Nadia Bjorlin, Jacklyn Zeman

Don't you agree? Soap stars know how to sizzle!

Vanessa Minnillo Wearing a Handbag?

Vanessa Minnillo launching her new line of cosmetics for Flirt!.

TB: Where is the dress? I think she put on a tube top, ran out the door, and someone handed her a giant handbag to cover up with. Trashy! Quick, Vanessa, save the moment and grab one of those cute outfits on the rack to the right of you.

CC: Vanessa is one of my new favorite fashionistas, I don't know how she could go so wrong here. Do you mean to tell me that someone actually picked that dress for her? And they thought it should be worn with those shoes?

CI: She just came in from the pool, right? This is a beach cover up over a bathing suit, is it not? Maybe she didn't have time to get ready
for the photo op.

Cameron & Justin are at it Again!

Don't they just look so happy?

This is Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake, best ex's, at the "Shrek the Third" London premier. I can't believe these two gorgeous people broke up - but is apparent that they are great friends - good for them.

TB: Cameron is glowing. I love the gown (except for the award ribbon?) especially the contasting white - even in the pockets.Her hair pulled off of her face looks so soft. She is so pretty with her soft makeup too. Love it!

CC: I hate JT's look - what kind of jacket is that anyway? Someone get him a stylist - quick! Cameron looks delightful in black and white, shaped perfectly for her. I love it when a dress fits a woman right.

CI: I do like Camerons dress, would love it if it were strapless minus the flower and weird ribbon. The jewelry is a bit mismatched, and the shoes too casual - but over all not too bad for Ms. Diaz.

Victoria Beckham - Just a Complete Mess!

Victoria Beckham in Los Angeles over the weekend.

TB: There is nothing posh about this girl. She looks trashy, and is total mess. There is just too much to comment about her as of late, and this look is no exception. The hair is awful. Aviators are too big. Shoes/Boots look like old jazzercise shoes. Is she even wearing pants or shorts?

CC: Only Victoria could even think about pulling this look off in public. While I do not like the super short tight look on her ever - she is just way to thin - she is probably the only celeb that can pull it (or even something close)to it off.

CI: A complete trashy, mess. It starts with the hair and just goes down from there.

Carmen Electra - always HOT!

Carmen Electra over the weekend at a Disney event for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

TB: Love the color and shape that the geometric design gives, versus the bellowing sleeves. And the teal green is always so hot on Carmen. The shoes just stick out like a sore thumb, and cut her legs off a bit.

CC: Cute as only Carmen can do cute. She is always sexy! I think I would prefer this dress over jeans or all glammed up. The white shoes have to go, though.

CI: This frock does nothing for her sexy shape. Too much dress and hair - even the glasses are too big for little Miss Carmen. Don't even get me started on the flip flop/thongs - they should be tossed (maybe in a beach bag!).

Christina Applegate in a Sea of Blue.

Christina Applegate as she arrives at the Tony Awards in New York City.

TB: The color is stunning on her, too bad that the dress isn't. She looks too tied up. The hair is fabulous though.

CC: A Mummy in disguise? And the lipstick is just to, "here I am - look at my lips!".

CI: I like this dress, it is just a tad too tight on the lovely Miss Applegate. The rest of the package is pretty too!

6/6/07

Tara Reid - Trendy or Trashy?

Tara Reid in Los Angeles at the Oceans 13 Movie Premier.

TB: At first, I thought she was wearing a bathing suit cover up and the aqua was her bikini straps. I don't like the frock at all, but love how the straps and shoes match her ocean blue eyes.

CC: Is this not Hollywood? Does she not have a stylist? This is not a pool party, and nothing is more ill fitting than this baby doll shirt on Tara. Is it supposed to be a dress?

CI: I think she looks adorable. I am not too fond of the color or pattern, but over all, she pulls this look off. Tara's softer makeup and hair waves are stunning. And the shoes - I want them!

6/5/07

Paris - As We Have Never Seen Her Before!

Paris Hilton posing on the red carpet in her prison stripes?

Okay, so this is her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City, but we could not resist.

TB: Paris' best look yet - she wears her stripes well - much better than orange, wouldn't you say? Love the "matching" hat too!

CC: This is so not funny, the poor girl is going through such a difficult time, I feel bad even commenting on this. So I won't!

CI: Horizontal stripes are so unflattering, even on the beauty we know as Paris Hilton. Maybe go for the thinner, vertical stripes next time, and possibly pair it with plain black trousers. This is just overkill. (You realize I am joking!)

Oprah - So Pretty in Pink!

Oprah Winfrey at the CFDA Fashion Awards, June 4th in NYC.

TB: Radiant. Oprah radiates sophistication in this beautiful evening gown in the prettiest of pale pink. And she knows how to rock it by adding the perfect matching clutch, and the diamonds - that are dripping from her ears and wrist. Stunning.

CC: Oprah knows what works for her. I like O in bolder colors, but the neckline and train more than make up for it.

CI: Oprah is elegant, as usual. When it comes to evening wear, she rarely does it wrong. I want to see her shoes, though!

6/4/07

Mandy Moore Does MTV.

Mandy Moore at the MTV Movie Awards.

TB: She is young and fun, why doesn't she show it? The MTV Awards about fun, fun, fun. Ms. Moore just looks too uptight. The dress and shoes are great, and I love her lighter golden brown locks - but it is too Emmy or Oscar, not MTV.

CC: Mandy is always about class, and here she shines. I love the way the color matches the "flush" in her cheeks. I would have loved a bit more in the accessory department to match those silver shoes.

CI: Poor Mandy looks uncomfortable here. She is usually about fresh and fun. The color is great on her and she is in super shape, just wish she would let loose a bit. After all, as my co-hort says this is MTV.

Not Quite Prison Stripes for Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton at the MTV Movie Awards, just hours before remanding herself to prison.

TB: Perfect. No prison stripes yet, Paris is simply stunning in the black dress, bag, and shoes. I need to find out who's shoes those are, love the touch of color on the back of the heel.

CC: I can only imagine how nervous this girl is, and she pulls off one of her best looks ever. Maybe a little humility goes a long way.

CI: Being that I am not a huge Paris wardrobe fan, I do have to say that she shined in all black last night. Everything down to her nails were right on.

6/3/07

Jessica Alba Arrives!

Jessica Alba arriving at the MTV Movies Awards.

TB: Love the bubble dress on her! The color is striking - just wish she would have matched her lips to it, she would have looked even more stunning. The shoes are a no-no, as they could have matched or been in a lighter color then a dark heavy black.

CC: Awesome. This color on Jessica is divine! Her hair is amazing, as always. And the shoes - well, I will forget that I saw them.

CI: She has one of the best bods in the business, why is she hiding? The color on her is amazing, but to pull off this bubble dress, she should have her hair back off of her face and shoulders. And I think she borrowed those shoes from her grandma - please. I hope she looks more young and sleek next time!

Ashlee Simpson in Hiding.

Ashlee Simpson out and about in Los Angeles over the weekend.

TB: Is it June of November? It is June my dear, and you are in Los Angeles . I think it is about time to start dressing for it. The bag is too big for you, and the knee socks, well they are not knee-ded.

CC: If she got rid of the bag, then I think this outfit is fun. As we have seen in the past, Ashlee likes black, so this dark dress down in the Spring shouldn't be such a shocker. One word of advice, lose the bag. It would have been cute with maybe a backpack.

CI: She looks like she is depressed and/or freezing - maybe it is 5 AM and she is just coming in from a night on the town. That is the only explanation for this look. And by the way, the sneakers and knee socks look when out ages ago - was it ever in?

Cameron Diaz at the Shrek Premier in Tokyo.

Cameron Diaz at the premier for Shrek 3 in Tokyo, the end of May.

TB: Her plane must have arrived late and all she had a chance to do was throw on this golden gown. The hair should be off her face and shoulders to show off the lines of the gown, and she needs brighter makeup to offset the gold, it is all just too blend-y.

CC: A goddess in gold - her hair, makeup, and dress all scream for the spotlight. I would have like to have seen a bit more gold by the way of earrings or larger bracelets.

CI: I don't think the gold suits Cameron at all - she is too bronzed from her skin to her makeup to pull this off. This same dress in white have been perfect.

Drew Barrymore at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Drew Barrymore early in May at the Tribeca Film Festival for the premier of her latest movie, Lucky You.

TB: Who dressed you Drew? You have looked so elegant and stunning in days past, I want to know who picked this God awful green gown for her. She looks like a bag of lettuce. And the bag and shoes - throw them into the salad bowl too.

CC: Drew either gets it right on or totally off. She couldn't have been more off, unfortunately. And the makeup is too lady of the night with the dark lips and pale face.

CI: This dress might be okay if it was in the mustard yellow color of her bag - but she gets a thumbs down on this one from me too.
