MARY J. BLIGE Performs In Bad-Girl "BALMAIN" Jacket

Now, we know that Mary J. Blige goes all out in what she does when she performs. By looking at this picture, she sure does. Check out Mary J. Blige in this hott, hott, hott BALMAIN Damaged Jeans Biker Jacket for $3,955. BALMAIN is real popular and sought-after for that whole "accentuated shoulders" thing, astronomical price, and extreme exclusivity (well now that it's more popular, BALMAIN just gotta make more).

Look at the attention to detail and note that there are no "faux" materials to make up the jacket. That's REAL SILVER and GOLD you're looking at.

She was also wearing a Hermes belt for $585. She got on the 5-STAR brands... MAAANNN...

A Crazy-Fashionable NICKI MINAJ & Crew Gets in Trouble w/ Buckingham Palace!

As Nicki Minaj continues her promo before her "Pink Friday" tour and doing promos in London (before heading back to NYC for an SNL performance, she apparently got into a lil' trouble with Buckingham Palace because she and her crew wanted to get a picture by the palace, and the Buckingham police wasn't having that mess.. especially when the NICKI-VAN stopped near the middle of the road!!

But hey, she calmly complied, colors and all (she sure looked fashionable with the jacket and Rihanna "Rated R" pants, and LOLLIPOP shoes *LoL*), as she stepped back into her NICKI-VAN as her London press trip was drawing near to a close. Check out more pics of our "Right Thru Me" rapper having fun in the UK.

WERK IT- WERK IT Nicki... just don't get locked up. The UK ain't playing...

KANYE Hems Up On The Media; Rants On Twitter!

All Kanye wants to do is be number 1. He just can't see to stand the sight of someone at the top of the rung. Britney had a song that reached #1 recently, and Kanye joked that his and Jay-Z's song was still the best of all time. Britney's fans and the media hemmed up on Kanye, and Kanye HEMMMMMMED right back via Twitter:

Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany.This s**t takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports… enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work.There’s a new lie everyday… a new media spin… I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago!

I’m one of the most considerate people in real life. Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real. There is no astronaut training for celebrity… even though this whole life is so outer space! I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes. How can u “let” someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me. When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all! But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That’s just not my style!

As pop stars we’re all in this s**t together! We on the inside of the TV! If the media wants to make a story … just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar…

If you don’t give em a story they just make one up. I’m just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope s**t to the world! Once again thank you to all my fans who made MBDTF certified platinum!

You all give me the power and I never take it for granted. I am an extension of my listeners. I won’t always say the right thing but my heart is always in the right place.

Was Kanye being sincere about his thoughts?

(Oh by the way, Kanye's outfit looks nice; I would rock it..)

WILLOW SMITH's Latest Photo Shoot & Talks of Releasing More Music

This little girl... SMH... I'm still like, "she's 9 YEARS OLD?!!" All I wanted to do was ride my bike and eat junk food when I was 9 years old. Anyway, she did her latest photo shoot for Vanity Fair (YEAH... the VANITY FAIR) and she talked about how great it was to have Jay-Z for a boss, and more. Here's what she said:

“It is very cool, because Jay really welcomes me and makes me feel like the record label is a place where I can have fun and talk about my career. He and his people make me feel like I’m a part of something. And I love Beyoncé — she’s awesome!”

She's 9!!!!!! And she gets to chill all day with Beyonce, and Beyonce's not even her momma! *LOL SMH* But heyy... WILLOW, the instant star of "Whip My Hair," will release more music soon, and has an album coming out in March. She has already been nominated for 2 NAACP awards.

KELLY ROWLAND's Hott 2011 Photo Shoot!

Kelly Rowland in Chanel T-shirt and leopard peeptoe Louboutins

I'm a person of fashion (FASHIONISTA) and I know good style when I see it. I also do photo shoots and I understand what it takes to look the best, practice poses, and "make love to the camera" or challenge the camera whenever necessary. I was checking out one of my fav sites, MediaTakeout, and I found Kelly Rowland's beautiful glam shots taken by photographer Robert Echtor.

In a photo shoot of this magnitude of sensuality without vulgarity, all you can do is stare. No need for more talking. She looks extraordinarily beautiful, doesn't she?

(Whoa, she puttin' it out there...)

JUST MUSIC TO MY FEET!

KANYE WEST Photo Shoot With I-D Magazine

Kanye West, again, is in one of my posts. I comment on him often not for his music--my niche is fashion--but for his style sense. It's so cool, he's in another realm in terms of thinking about style, how to make pieces flow and pop, draw attention at the same time. It is simply ART in fashion form. I just like it.

West is wearing a Tom Ford dinner jacket and slippers, Dior Homme wax jeans, and jewelry by Erickson Beamon.

I found his photo shoot on UpscaleHype. Check out some of his pics:

Willow Smith: A Budding Fashionista

Willow Smith, daughter of famous movie stars/producers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is quite the fashionista already and by what she does, she certainly doesn't apologize for it. Often called "Rihanna's sidekick" or "Lil' Rihanna," Willow's style and energy far outpaces other kids her age---really.

In recent months, she has done outrageous things to her hair, like shave one side, then both sides of her head to sport a sideswept mohawk. She would also rock "grown-up" clothes, Rocker-style clothes that would appeal to the likes of British pop stars and Alexander McQueen couture.

Only nine years old and she's taking the Internet and media hostage with her smash hit "Whip My Hair," which was released a while back (also featured on 2010 AMA's; it still doesn't get old because the music video is so NOW, fresh and happening!

Check out pics and Willow's music video:

'80s Fashion Rules 2010 American Music Awards

Good morning, I'm doing a quick fly-by about the American Music Awards and how I definitely noticed that the '80s era was definitely taking over the show. From start to finish, there were people from Rihanna opening the AMA with 3 amazing... well 2 amazing songs (not really feeling Love The Way You Lie Pt. 2), to Pink, Usher, and Ne-Yo setting the stage abalze with eye-popping outfits and hairdoes and mullets galore.

Just check out pics and videos from 2010 American Music Awards below:

HMMM... I smell an '80s fashion trend...comin' 2011...rollin' in the wind....

Style: Rihanna & Benjamin Bixby

Hello and welcome back to my lil' style review. This time I'm reflecting on some of the hottest wardrobe Benjamin Bixby (Andre 3000) and Rihanna have worn. I put these two in an interesting collaboration of style because... I guess that's how my mind works sometimes LOL. But these two people have made staples in their very own way, Benjamin with his eclectic, otherworldly yet craaaaazy timeless style (as seen in his music videos) and Rihanna with her ever-evolving style, most notably her "RATED R" days.

Take a look: 

The Benjamin Bixby clothing line by Andre Benjamin, a.k.a. Andre 3000, is a late 1930's inspired line drawn from old college football documentaries. The collection consists of 70 pieces that was released at Barney's NY for Fall 2008. Due to recession, clothing production for 2009-2011 has been cancelled until further notice but the clothes are still available in stores like Barney's, Bloomingdales's, and Neiman Marcus.



And... we all know who RIHANNA is! Now my role is not to talk in details about "music" but "fashion" only. Rihanna, in her 6-year-career, has belted out so many looks that it'll make your head spin. All of the looks that she has sported has caught many girls worldwide by storm. They wear everything from Rihanna's "RATED R" mohawk to her shoulder-padded dresses.

Now Rihanna is in her "LOUD" (her latest 2010 CD) days with a more island and floral approach. This new era is a deep contrast from 2009 that brought forth a dark, gothic era that kinda....ooooh....scared a little but still manage to grab attention, especially on the TREND part. Take a look at some of the pictures that I felt were solid, hott, can't-get-enough-of, from "RATED R" and "LOUD" :

"RATED R" WEAR:

In Christian Louboutins

In Viktor & Rolf

JAIDEN'S PICK: Both by Alexander Vauthier (Flamin' hott label; couldn't get enough of it!)

In BRYCE D'ANICE AIME : As seen in "HARD" music video

"LOUD" Wear:

Boyyy... I sure posted a lot but there you have it. There were so many styles to choose from but hey...it's what I got right here, for your eyes...HOTT and HAUTE COUTURE brands from around the world, coming from one guy...representing Detroit!!

NELLY Keeps It Classy With Louis Vuitton

Hello everyone, I caught Nelly on a fashion website with this really smooth, cool gear.

You know, you would think that most or all rappers like to wear baggy jeans, tall tees (LOL remember those?? They ain't fashion no more; it's just for BASKETBALL or lounging), and just whatever thug look.

Nelly has a great, BOSS look (i.e. "BOSS" means no need to overdo a look with gobs of jewelry and other flashy accessories) wearing almost all LOUIS VUITTON accessories.

Let's go over what he was wearing. A leather panel cardigan, denim jeans, Louis Vuitton damier canvas belt ($420) and Louis Vuitton Discovery Ankle Boots ($990).

Nelly has really evolved in his looks from the past that were, of course, rapper-like. He has lately taken on a more relaxed, mature look that takes him to a whole 'nother level beyond just the music and shows off more his true talent as businessman than rapper.

An expensive look without the gaudiness. 'LESS IS MORE' is key, people!!!

Gospel Artists With Style

Hello everyone. I wanted you to check out some great gospel music artists who have distinguished style in the music industry. There are many of them singing the Good News all across our great nation and overseas and some featured in pics down below. I don't know if some of you noticed, but people of Gospel tend to have a "hot-to-the-touch," unmatched style and they wear it with no problem, and that's VERY DIFFERENT from secular music, whereas people in that sector just have some...WHAT ARE YOU WEARING??!! Anyway, view below..

There are, again, many more gospel artists with excellent fashion sense. But check each of these artists out; you'll see what I'm talking about.

RIHANNA Does It Again With Fashion

Despite what some people may say about what her supposed religious whatever-it-is, Illuminati-something (I'm not getting into this mess, just the fashion bit), I've always watched and admittedly sometimes drooled Rihanna's ever-changing sexy style. She is like the epitome of fashion sense, complete range, and FREEDOM. She just commands it.

Don't think so? Look at the many girls around America and overseas. They rock the "SHAVED HAIRDO" or the "Rihanna" mohawk. Whatever she does, they do. It's a trend, a crazy trend the girls just can't seem to get enough of. Now, since the black girls have cut their hair to be like RIHANNA (knowing BLACK GIRL HAIR don't grow back fast), sly girl switches it up to red-hot hair; this time changes it a lot. It grew 2 feet overnight to LOOOOOONG RED HAIR LoL. Gotta love it.

Rihanna is seen wearing this eye-catching shoulder-padded jacket that reminisces the heydays of hip-hop MTV '80s, black bodice and "yellow underwear" *lol* and vicious black boots. Look at 'em legs...

She was performing "What's My Name" for MTV's SEVEN, a new show following 7 performers, and also performing as part of promotion of her newest album. Her album LOUD comes out today, November 16th.

Whatever your style is, ladies, wear it PROUD and wear it WELL! Don't let the clothes 'make' you; YOU 'make' the clothes with your sheer swag, your confidence no matter what shape and size you are, and ROCK IT OUT... LOUD!!!!

SWIZZ BEATZ: How To Tie A Bow-Tie

At times, I still struggle to tie a bow tie. I can tie a normal necktie, but a bowtie is that EXTRA SPECIAL thing that we guys have to master. Watch Swizz Beatz teach us how to tie a bowtie.

Rihanna Oozes Fashion Craze in Latest Video

Just swung this post in as soon as I saw one of the music videos of Rihanna's upcoming album "LOUD." This music video, "What's My Name," is a steamy, flirty, lovey-dovey duet with Rihanna and Drake. FYI, this song rocketed from #60 to #1 song on the Billboard charts. I bet Drake is thrilled for this moment with Rihanna since he actually REALLY wanted her.

Rihanna is very LOUD walking down the streets of New York in such a crazy outfit that dares to attract attention. It's commanding, wacky, in-your-face, WOW!! Topped off with flowing red locks, Rihanna trots around town and cozies up in an apartment with Drake, a NIIIICE couples' moment.

Check out the music video "What's My Name" below. It's a real nice video; nice to see somebody in bright and good spirits.

See you in the next post. Comment!! Rate!! I'm talking about my site and how I'm doing so far!! Representin' Detroit with fashion!
