I’ve missed doing my red carpet reviews enough! I don’t even read about them on other blogs because it pierces through my soul. So as far as I am concerned, no celebrity has hit any carpet since April. I’m glad they all waited for me…lol. Well, amfAR’s 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Gala brought out some of our favourite famous faces yesterday in France and it got me excited! Here’s why:

This week’s sizzling sightings:
Olivia Munn looked dashing in a Vionnet dress at the ‘Deliver Us From Evil’ Premiere in New York City. Bellisima!
Her boyfriend Aaron Rodgers looked dapper in a suit.
She was spotted earlier looking pretty in a Peter Piletto ensemble as she left her hotel.
Pia Toscano sizzled in a little hot white dress and nude pumps at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas.
White stays winning this Summer.Kim Kardashian looks good in white and I love this ensemble apart from that cropped back and bra showing.

The CFDA Fashion Awards is iconic for producing some of the the biggest fashion moments that go down in history. The annual event took place yesterday. So was history made? There was a lot of glitter, metallics, prints, draping and nudity. Let’s see who wore what:
Rihanna received the fashion icon of the year award. To whit, she kept every staring and talking. Her sheer custom made Adam Selman gown made entirely out of Swarovski crystals left nothing to the imagination. The gown came equipped with matching gloves and a scarf. Of course she looked good in it! Her body is the deal. Her unapologetic nature is what her fans have come to know and love her for.

A recap of last weekend’s hottest looks. Who sizzled and who burned? Let’s get into it.
Tika Sumpter was one of my favourite sightings over the weekend. She displayed caramel chocolate skin in a cream strapless dress paired with nude pumps at the ESPN Party. Her curly mane is to die for!
Tika later sashayed into the DirecTV Super Saturday Night looking even hotter in a white bralet top and a white cut out design see through Burberry skirt. She added a red lip to her white ensemble. Smoking!
Also at the DirecTV event was supermodel Chanel Iman who looked every bit a model in a purple bodice dress and similar colour lipstick. This colour …
Beyoncé likes to keep things private but when she decides to share her intimate moments with the world, she shares like a boss. She recently shared pictures of Blue Ivy Carter’s 2nd birthday party on her Tumblr.
Close friends and family, including her Destiny Child band mates joined her at the extravagant Versace mansion to celebrate. Bey donned all everything Versace for the party. She wore an animal print top paired with a black and gold silk robe, matching shorts and a gold-chain belt. She also wore Versace Black Triple Platform Sandals to finish off the ensemble.
I’m strongly convinced Blue Ivy has been professionally trained not to look at the camera. She continues to nail her famous ‘anonymous presence’ in every shot. She’s still the cutest thing ever …
There is no question that when it comes to putting outfits together, women of colour are embracing colour. I mean serious colour. I am living proof. But the question remains that when it comes to their makeup, are women of colour or dark-skinned women that experimental? Yes it is true that dark-skinned women love to stick to the basic red, glossy or pink lip colours. The bolder bunch would experiment with ‘loud’ ‘garish’ or ‘shouty’ tones. But are any many going out of their comfort zones to try new shades?
I’d say, to certain degree, yes. Social media has become very influential in the past few years. Many girls nowadays, use these outlets (Tumblr, Facebook, WordPress, Instagram, Twitter, Lookbook, YouTube etc) as a source of inspiration or even consultation if can call it that and because of this are becoming quite more confident with trying out new trends …
Kanye West adds one more title to his already long list of multiple talents. The rapper who has been noted for his bold fashion choices tries his own hand at fashion by introducing his own fashion line, the DW Kanye West brand. The designs were dedicated to his mother Donda who passed away in 2007 due to complications following a cosmetic surgery.
The hip hop star’s line, Dw Kanye West had models strutting their stuff on the catwalk in an array of bottom-exposing hotpants, massive fur collars and oversize structural zips – and the reaction has been almost universally negative.
‘Good thing Kanye has a day job… The only thing more painful than witnessing the dress was watching the model pitch down the runway in shoes so ill-fitting that her spike heels were bending at angles.
‘One breastplate of …
