Grace Jones has always been known for her unique style and sometimes outrageous look. This time, I’m not really sure what she was thinking.
In the past, Grace Jones was known as a trendsetter and popularized the androgynous look of the 1980’s. She also has credit for giving rise to the “flat top” trend in the same decade.
Grace was photographed exiting her car wearing an outfit that can best be described as grandma Helen meets beekeeper in 1985. Sorry Grace, your new look… not so edgy.
This is another celebrity “What Where They Thinking” fashion flop. Ashley Olson recently appeared at a Hollywood event looking like she just walked a mile through hurricane winds and her hair spray just couldn’t hold it all together.
Ashley’s unruly updo paired with gaudy “bride of Frankenstein” makeup just makes the Valentino lace dress she was wearing appear to be more “kitchen curtain” than high fashion.
Unfortunately, that dress would probably look stunning… on someone else.
It’s all over the television, the papers, the radio and the Internet too – R&B Singer Christopher Maurice Brown – AKA Chris Brown – canceled a planned performance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night and was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence after a woman accused him of assaulting her the night before. Brown was later released on $50,000 bail.
But what REALLY happened? And who was that unfortunate woman?Putting speculation aside for a moment – the only known FACTS in the case seem to be these:
The woman is 20-year-old Robyn Rihanna Fenty, – AKA Rihanna – also a popular R&B singer.
An altercation occurred inside Brown’s parked Lamborghini following a party at record producer Clive Davis’ house. The police were called.
Rihanna was taken to the hospital.
Brown fled the scene without his Lambo.
Brown later turned himself in to authorities.
For me, it does not seem like such a big deal, but to the fashion sensative… this is a serious fashion blooper. This is a few years back, but still too funny.
Yes, Hilary Swank and Jennifer Biel wore the same Velentino gown. Not to the same event luckily, but there were plenty of paparazzi pictures showing the fashion blooper.
Seems that the Valentino line sold them both the same gown saying nobody has worn it to an event… hmmmm. The excuse for the fashion screw up went like this…
Valentino issued a statement, too, but would not specifically address the Biel mix-up: “Valentino dresses are timeless, and each woman brings to them her own interpretation. Two beautiful actresses can be different and great even in the same dress.”
What happened? Ultimately, it’s the responsibility of Biel’s stylist and Valentino’s public-relations mavens to research gowns to be sure they haven’t been worn to high-profile events before, says Treena Lombardo, fashion market director at W. “But in the harriedness of the season, people are just doing their best with a lot of gowns flying in and out of hotel rooms.”
