FreshReview: BET Awards 2008

I know we all enjoyed the fab performances- but did we approve of the fashion? Here’s a brief review:

Apparently the color of the evening was canary yellow, possible mandated by Debra Lee aka. Dr. Levil. I must say black people do look lovely in this color. Rih Rih clearly stunts on all them hoes, esp since the last three are all wearing three versions of the same dress… However the worst of the yellow wearing crowd would indubitably go to-

Pretty Ricky, they took the cake and ate it too. Smooth fellas- congrats.

And if you didn’t wear yellow to the BET Awards you wore plum. Jennifer Hudson looks nice but would look even better at least 20 lbs lighter or in 1 size larger. I said it. And as usual Neo looks sweet and Lil Kim looks like Ms. Swan/crazy cheetah lady. And of coarse there was a plum fairy who needs a magical makeover-

Solange, our favorite irrelevant sister, somehow thought this dress was a good idea- but then again she also thought that hairstyle was a good look…

Then there were those who dressed outside the box a little- and wore red or pink. Alicia Keys looking fab as usual in fuchsia, and Cassie keepin it short for that Diddy easy access he’s used to (she coulda also done her hair, but thats another story). But then someone took it too far-

Lil Mama, keepin it ugg and outta control as usual. What the fudge nuggets is this strawberry shortcake foolery?

And the rest stuck with black, white and grey all over again.

Angel and Toccara look lovely- Nelly needs a new outfit- the look is played out. It’s funny because as I think "played out" look who came to mind-

Ashanti in a dress she put together herself, using pawn shop jewelry, a tank top, and a banquet tablecloth.

Gabby looks gorgeous, Chris is uber current, Luda’s way too preppy, and Jermaine stopped by on his was to the grocery store (Thanks for coming!). The man boy who supposed singlehandedly killed hip hop came in Tuesdays finest-

Soulja Boy! Equipped with a yin-yang patch and all- Good job "Superman". Are you wearing two Gucci belts?

Finally girl who I forget wears a blinding jumpsuit, LL wears "what all the youngs boys today" wear, and John steps off the plane from San Tropez (Please teach the other men how to dress!!!). And last but never least, your favorite uncle steals the show- in brocade no less-

T-Payne- lookin like the Joker meets Peguin… Shameful.

Versace’s Spring ‘09 Men’s Collection Inspired by Obama

From nymag.com via Getty images

Or rather as Fashion Week Daily reports: 

"It was the type of man Barack Obama represents that inspired the men’s Spring 2009 collection," said a Versace spokesman. "A modern man with a laid back relaxed look and attitude. Not Obama himself." Indeed, nowhere in the Versace press release nor in her presentation was there any indication of any direct influence by Obama.

Sounds like they were inspired by my mans Obama to me…

Check out the full collection at nymag.com:

I gotta say though- I’m not feelin’ the bright colored- crocs reminiscent sandals.
