ijaay said...

Rihanna and jessica alba killed it meeeehnnn. They really stood out! But even the worst dressed here is better than Nollywood best dressed in all the red carpet events I have seen. Hehheehe! Nollywood, una dey see am so?

HIAN!!IN THE NAME OF FASHHION DRESS SENSIBLY TOO ANJA RUBIK!!Florence Welch all i can come up with is *confused smiley*..i loove kournikova's look!and Solange's!pure elegance! :*

Chikaka said...

First time ever that Gwyneth and Eva Mendes have failed me. Not feeling their outfits. I may add SJP as well.

Kirsten Dunst; no please. You are too young to dress like this.

Kristen Stewart; you usually look good. What happened here?

The hem of Jessica Biel's dress looks like it was taken up in a hurry.

Gisele and Tom; i "heart" the duo.

The best for me are;
1st; Solange. Gosh she can dress.
2nd; Cameron Diaz.
3rd; Sophia Vergara.

Even with their smiles, i don't see chemistry here;
Swizz and Alicia
Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough.

Emem said...

Beautiful effort from Solange Knowles, every time I see her she always seems to have it going-on fashion-wise. Jessica Alba's dress colour is nice, Rihanna looks sweet so does January Jones.

Anonymous said...

Beyonce's dress is fabulous, completely out of the ordinary and unpredictable. The rest of them are wearing the same thing in different designs and colours.

Which one Alicia Keys come dress like batman??? Is that only what was in your wardrobe? Fire your stylist biko

Nekky said...

Solange and January Jones pulled it. can Florence Welch xplain her hideous dress? Anja Rubik best describes sleazy and as for SJP,i reserve ma comment buh all in all,dis is wat a red carpet should look like not all dese our nollywood joke of a red carpet. in btw.beyonce u got it wrong dis time,dat ur concept is not working for me ooo.not flattering atall.

Anonymous said...

Ahhh! Beyonce just looking like one Lagos mama trying to hard! She didn't try biko. Alicia Keys style is sleek. I'm beginning to like her fashion sense. Rihanna na Rihanna...nke ya bu 'thug life'. Solange is def looking good....chai! My people money sweet o! Janelle Monae, e be Lyk say she add weight small. Anyhow sha, she looks good!! Cele celeb celebrity! Ife nkili! Chai....Chineke onye obioma! Abeg let me go back to revising o!

RiRI, is that you? Well for once, Rihanna looks decent.

Linda, I take God beg u eeeh. Please can you make it possible for us to go straight to the comments without having to read the main story again? Some of us come back up to 5 times after reding the story just to read the comments and its not nice that we have to go thru the stories again especially long ones like this and it takes ages when you are using a mobile fone. Some other blogs have that option. Atimes when I remember I have to scroll for ages before getting to the comments, I loose interest and don't come back again. Please, its just a suggestion but u can ask ur fans and other readers to see what they think. Thanks

Sarah jessica parker used her curtain drapes to make her dress!

Duchess___ope said...

Solange killed it !!! Lurrvv Jessica Alba's outfit too.

Eva and SJP, bet why ??? :'(

Leighton Meester, ur character in gossip girl would kill u for dt horrible tan, TF ?? * confused face BBM smiley*

Florence Welch, hmmmm, no comment.

As K Stewart, HIAN!!! I'm not surprised. And to think she was number one best dressed in some magazine. *holds laugh*

BTW where's Blake Lively, she should have been there to teach these people how to rock and walk the Met Gala red carpet. She was Fabolous last year .....

Is it Just me or is Rihanna looking kinda OLD #bb dunno smiley#

Allegra said...

Ri-ri, Solange, Cameron and Scarlett looked divine. The others were either taking the piss or their stylists had the day off. Bey-bey and Alicia really need to hire a stylist asap and as for SJP, dunno what happened to her sense of style.

I love beyonce gown, but pls wat d hell is Anja Rubic putting on, am guessin d dress is 4 a quikie, and jessical beil, u are sexier dan dis, pls dnt become boring cos u engaged now

Anonymous said...

Oooh! Rihanna looks gorgeous! Finally, she decides to wear some clothes and she looks good! Looks like she & Beyoncé swapped ideas- she's wearing more clothes & B decides to shed the fabric. B, we know you've shed the baby weight; u don't have to reveal so much. Anyways, thumbs up Rihanna!

Ure said...

Linda, your blog is one of the best in the country, if not the best. But please, major improvements have to be made. Things like "follow up comments" should be added by linking the blog to pple's emails.
I wish you could take what we your readers say serious, but it doesn't seem as if you do.

CHINWE said...

I LOVE these - Rihanna (you've got to have a certain body structure to Rock this - Sensational);

Karoline Kournikova (she stole the looks of one of the ABBA musicians during one of their concerts back in the days), love it;

January Jones (love the Yellow and structure);

Sofia Vergara (love the colour on her - a change from her hot Latina vavavoom Red colours);

Solange Knowles, Emma Stone - love the colour and fit, Cameron Diaz… Love, love, love.

Her name's Karolina Kurkova, not Karoline Kournikova. Don't confuse her with Anna Kournikova.

Nonsense out fit if u ask me ...keep wat belongs to the catwalk to the catwalk. Meanwhile Riri was for once looking CLASSY!!!! LoVe HeR DrEsS!!!

Fashion Police said...

Beyonce--Why expose your bottom like that. You're a nursing mother you know?
Florence Welch looks like a chandelier.
Carey Mulligan looks like an Albino Python.
Anja Rubik--Msheew!!
And the winner is----Jessica Alba. Simply gorgeous!!

jessica said...

worst dressed Kirsten Dunst, mzambe! (abeg!) what is she wearing? it looks like a Nigerian tailor from Mushin made the outfit, if i can call it that loooooolzzzzz!

Africanbeauty said...

Look at how Solange, Rihanna, and Beyonce look effortlessly beautiful. Black women are so beautiful.

All the other women look ghostly esp Sarah Jessica Parker, she looks like a witch.

Anonymous said...

Riri for best dressed yo!!! then scarlette. Kirsten Dunst wtf is wrong witchu girl??? Gwyneth-fail. that Model Anja would have torn the slit oo, make e kuku reach her right boob, hen. SJP...no words..but why do u do this to us :(

Lmao at trash gown

Anonymous said...

This beyonce, she doesn't know she is getting old? and younger people like niki minaj and rihanna are taking over?
Why cant she have a bit of respect for herself, dress wise, why expose her buttoms - the most ungraceful thing to do??. that model girl too was too exposed

Anonymous said...

Beyonce looks disgusting and doesn't need this sensationalizing behavior she is exhibiting. Rhianna, lovely. Jessica Biel, lose the hair. i am stopping here. Saving might strength for more impt stuff

Deyinka Onabanjo said...

Beyonce,Riri and Cameron Diaz luk rili good,while dat model geh Anja worefa luks like a fool,SJP bet Y dat dress b like bedsheet. January Jones and Solange Knowles luk fab.

Monblaze said...

lol, this year was boring jor only Beyonce really wowed next up rihanna. solange, emma stone, the couples n a few others were good. alot were silly. the dress code is costume, doesnt mean silly looking... fair enough tho

Yeye said...

SJP looks like she was given a Loki-beating, then thrown in the dryer repeatedly. Kilode! And who took kirsten Stewart's biscuit, she looks like she wants to cry. The awesome ones are solange, January jones, Jessica alba and rihanna.

st cathy said...

best pick Karoline kournikova or however 't is spelt,Rihanna tto, Solange, bt Beyoncepls less is more, that''s a costume and not a dress... and Kirsten Dunst... simply awful, and thgat Anja Rubik, SJP, in short wetin these women dey wear naw-rolling my eyeballs
