Rihanna Named Face of Balmain's Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign

She's at it again.  Our fave badgal Rihanna has revealed that she is the new face and spokeswoman for Balmain Spring/Summer 2014 campaign.  Yesterday she made a splash all over instagram by revealing two of the photos that will begin appearing in magazines Jan. 2 2014, and today the full campaign shots were revealed.  

The "What Now" singer has an obvious love for fashion and hasn't been afraid to "go there" with her looks.  It's safe to say, the fashion industry embraced their badgirl back.  He instagram is chalk full of jealousy inducing fashion, her line "Rihanna for Rivers Island" is a hit with the ladies all over, and she is an executive producer for the Bravo show "Styled to Rock."  There is no limit to the star's shine and obvious sex appeal.  Upon posting them on her instagram, she captioned the photo in true Rihanna fashion "Guess who's the new BALMAIN Woman???!!!!!!! #BALMAIN #MommaImadeIT #CaribbeanGalRunTing..."  

It didn't shock me when I heard the news.  Rih Rih and Balmain's creative director, Olivier Rousteing were never shy about their friendship and the love they have for one another.  The designer said that working with Rihanna was "a dream come true."  He was even quoted saying that she is an icon of his generation. (Who can disagree with that?)

Olivier told WWD, "When the woman that inspired you wears your creations, your vision feels complete," he continued on, "Rihanna embodies my vision of Balmain in this new campaign..." "In front of the camera, she makes you feel like she is the only girl in the world."  

The badgal shot the campaign in New York City last month by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.  Rih's personal stylist Mel Ottenberg styled the pop icon for the project.  The photos show Rihanna in what look like she is in a steam room where she is serving face and sexy.  In one of the ads, the singer is dressed in a pink and white Kimono style coat that has been accessorized with white lace gold-toed and heeled booties.

This campaign makes the singer the second song bird to land a major spring 2014 fashion campaign.  Earlier this mother, Givenchy announced and revealed Erykah Badu as their spokes model.  Seems like the fashion world is in love with the queens of music.  Hoping for Beyonce to be named as a spokes model soon.

Rihanna's NY Recording Studio Look

Everyone's favorite badgal, Rihanna is back at it.  The AMA Icon award recipient was spotted leaving a New York recording studio rocking a Rihanna-esq look.

The 25 year old singer wore a black Opening Ceremony patch work beanie with the brand's logo on the front, a black wool, double breasted coat with large asymmetrical lapels, draped back details front diagonal pockets and a button chest pocket.  Just like the OC beanie, she rocked a black tee with the brand's contrast logo patch on the front.  The bottoms she wore boasted a ribbed elastic waistband with drawstring ties, ribbed cuffs and two side pockets, and topping off the look she rocked a pair of classic New Balance trainers that feature a suede and mesh upper and solid rubber outsole.  Adding a pop of color, the singer added a green fur scarf.

Once again this is only a look our fave badgal can rock.

2013 American Music Awards Fashion Breakdown!! Gagging on the Fashion Dos and Dying at the Don'ts!!

Last night November 24, 2013 was a night to remember on ABC!! The American Music Awards aired for millions to watch.  If you are like me you were right there watching for all the red carpet fashion hits and misses and there were quite a few. I also muscled through the show to catch some of the performances (my faves were Miss Ariana Grande and King Timberlake of course!) So let's break down the looks for the evening.

Nicole Richie

The socialite and design powerhouse rocked a beautiful Emilio Pucci gown.  The tank inspired gown boasted the popular hue of white that evening with cutouts on the side.  Finishing the ensemble she paired it with a House of Harlow Jude Chain Fringe Calf Hair Clutch costing $295. Like another star who is mentioned below, once Nicole turned around, the designer showed off a daring, low cut back to her gown. She always leaves me speechless with her red carpet looks.  This yummy mommy has come a long way from her reckless partying days.  She better WERK!!

Naya Rivera

The Glee actress and "Sorry" songstress went all Kim Kardashian and J.Lo on us last night. The stunning singer/actress worked it out in a long sleeved Michael Kors gown. The keyhole in the front left every male with their tongues wagging but the surprise was in the back when she turned showing another cutout in the back. Bringing the ensemble together were her vintage YSL gold cuff, earrings, ring and clutch, Jimmy Choo strappy sandals and her beautiful sexpot curls. Va va voom darling. She definitely was one of my faves that evening especially keeping it classy but sexing it up. The girls are sitting very nicely Ms. Rivera, Big Sean must be loving it!.

Miley Cyrus

The "Bangerz" hit maker looked surprisingly covered up on last night's AMA's red carpet. The newly 21 year old singer looked classic in an all white Versus Versace tuxedo, black Saint Laurent heels and minimal jewels. The coat alone is priced at $595.  I love her walking the carpet with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus.  Personally love the look on the controversial performer, can't say the same for the outfit she wore for her performance.

Jennifer Hudson

The Oscar and Grammy winner walked the red carpet in an interesting get up.  While I love the tangerine color against her skin, the dress seems unfinished.  The Christian Dior "dress" looked unfinished thanks to the split it had going across her thigh to show off the pink lining underneath. Ms. Hudson hasn't really had luck in the fashion department lately but that hair cut gets tens across the board. Personally the dress would have been breathtaking if the "split" wasn't there at all. That pop of electric blue eye make up has me gagging at that beat face child.

Ciara

The "I'm Out" singer stunned in a sheer J. Mendel frock. But it has me thinking. . .haven't we seen this look and silhouette on the stunner multiple times before. She's giving me the same feelings I get everytime I see Sofia Vergara on the red carpet. The do say "If it's not broken, don't fix it." Her gown comes from the designer's 2014 Spring collection and rocks a halter neck line. Of course she looks amazing and I love the 90's throwback, extreme, blonde, ombre bob. She didn't rock much jewelry which is perfect seeing as it would have clashed with the gowns' design.

Ariana Grande

Everytime I hear the name Ariana Grande, my mind automatically goes back to the TeenNick show "Victorious" and the ditzy red head Cat Valentine.  But don't be fooled people, last night the 20 year old took home the AMA for Best New Artist and won me over in this sequined Dolce & Gabbana gown with a semi sweetheart neckline.  The floor length gown looked incredible on the songstress even as she performed in the same dress. Usually when I see her, she reminds me of a girl who is getting ready to celebrate her quincenera but last night she looked like a beautiful young woman. I do however wish she did something different to her hair, I've seen her hair like this at almost every award show she's been on.

Danity Kane

My love for this groups is REAL ladies and gentlemen. They all looked amazing last night but can we please take a moment to gawk at the beauty that is Dawn Richards in this white Walter Mendez Collection gown.  She is serving FISH in this dress and I love the thigh high split on her. Ms. Aubrey better work those twins sitting pretty.

TLC

What is there to say?! Actually I have a lot but what I am going to say is that they need to hire new stylist asap. While the 90's are coming back into play when it comes to stars and their clothing choices, these outfits are not hitting the right cords.  I am a fan of outrageous shoe games, but T-Boz's boots don't really sit well with me.  Can we have a redo please.

Jordin Sparks

The "Sparkle" star decided to wear a Jovani Couture gown to the awards show last night. Yes the same designer who creates prom dresses and pageant gowns. Although the dress is cute, it does nothing to show off the singer's 50 pound weight loss. I do love the bodice of the gown but the black skirt just doesn't fit well.

Zendaya Coleman

17 year old "Shake it Up" star Zendaya Coleman looked amazing last night as she wore an all white Donna Karan Resort 2014 pant suit with silver Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps. Her long tresses were parted down the middle and cascaded over her shoulder and back.  The uber edgy looks showed off an off the shoulder tunic styled top and matching white pants.

2Chainz

Let's take a moment and pray for the sanity of rapper 2Chainz.  I don't know what the hell was going on with this look. Someone on instagram said it best, "2Chainz rocked a shirt that looked like the hardest level of tetris." The rapper donned a colorful Versace shit and $1,050 Giuseppe Zanotti Yellow Tonal sneakers.  I don't even know what to say.

Tyga

Some of these rappers need to take lessons from Jay-Z when it comes to red carpet looks.  As much as I love Tyga and his Last Kings appearel and his T-Raww sneakers, this sparkly Saint Laurent dinner jacket doesn't really sit well with me.  Maybe it's really that dark orange/blonde curl peeking through his hat that's throwing me off. While he's still cute, he could use a major style overhaul when it comes to his awards show choices.

Taylor Swift

It's quite obvious that gold is probably one of Taylor's favorite colors so she rocked it last night to the AMA's.  This time the "22" singer showed off her sexy legs in this Julien Macdonald mini dress.  The gold embellishments popped against her fair skin with a sheer panel in the middle.  Keeping the look together was a gold belt and matching strappy gold sandals. Loves it honey!!

Rihanna

But the most talked about look of the night didn't make it onto the red carpet.  Running a little late, the Icon Award recipeint, Rihanna stunned viewers in this two piece Jean Paul Gaultier haute Couture Spring 2013 outfit.  It wasn't just her outfit of choice that stunned fans and viewers alike. Rihanna's hair -which many including myself call a doobie wrap- seemed to be the talk of all social media networks.  Leave it up to the queen of Bad Girls to make this look so effortless. Gotta love her.
