The Accidental Fashionista

Okay, so I know when the Country Music Awards (CMA) hits, every cowboy and cowgirl will don all the glitter and sparkles and what-have-yous.. because it’s country. And it works. Well, almost.

Carrie Underwood wore a silver Theia gown for the red carpet - which I don’t particularly love on her. She changed a bazillion times during the show, which she co-hosted with Brad Paisley, by the way. Still not lovin’ her bazillion dresses.

Nicole Kidman in a long L’Wrenn Scott gown. Looks red but apparently it’s fuchsia. I’m not lovin’ it much. I actually preferred the red Prada she wore previously. I don’t know. It’s just me. But I am lovin’ her hair color! It’s back!!

Faith Hill  looked pretty in a beaded/bejeweled halter grey dress. Pretty but quite boring for the CMAs.

More red carpet styles after the jump.

So there’s been a lot of questions regarding the whole Queen Bee headband that Blair Waldorf crowned upon Jenny Humphrey in the “The Goodbye of Gossip Girl” episode - the finale of season 2.

Here’s a recap of the scene where Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) crowns Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen):

Anyways, the much sought after Queen B headband is by Jennifer Behr, a padded headband done by hand AND covered with Swarovski crystals that are stitched on one-by-one (with cotton thread Behr waxes herself!).

This Queen B headband retails at $725 and can be purchased from jenniferbehr.com

In The September Issue, viewers have an intimate, funny and surprising look of Anna Wintour, and her team of editors as they create this must-have “fashion bible”.

Anna Wintour is the British-American editor in chief of American Vogue and definitely the high priestess of the fashion world. Designers go to Wintour on which pieces should make it to the runway.. and I’m not talking just any fashion designers. We’re talking Oscar De La Renta, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld.. basically the who’s who of fashion.

Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) in The Devil Wears Prada was said to loosely portray Anna Wintour, although Wintour and Vogue dismissed those claims. Well, if Anna’s former assistant, Lauren Weisberger was the one who wrote it, she must have been certainly been inspired by SOMEONE.

When asked by David Letterman regarding the film and how it was based on her and her team, Anna replied, “I seem to remember that the movie was fiction.. and well, we really like fiction at Vogue“.

Well, I personally think Anna Wintour is brilliant!!

Megan Fox is currently among one of the hottest young celebs in Tinseltown and also the star of one of the most anticipated movies this summer - Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen.

Her dark beauty and love for tattoos has earned her the Angelina Jolie Jr. nickname. Even Warner Bros. has announced that they would love to have Megan Fox replace Jolie as Lara Croft Tomb Raider but Miss Fox has turned down the offer. Fox said of the comparisons that “I think it’s a lack of creativity on the media’s part. Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That’s as far as the similarities extend. I’m not the next anyone.” I heartily agree.

Her beauty, sex appeal and sense of style captivates the attention of everyone around the world and the camera just loves her. Here, I’ll take you through her most recents appearances at the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premieres, press conferences and photocalls this past June.

Ever since appearing at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards on 1st June 2009, Megan Fox has been super busy. First stop, was at the World Premiere of Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen in Tokyo, Japan on June 8th 2009.  Megan Fox turned up looking absolutely gorgeous and showing off a lot of leg in a rich purple one-shoulder grecian dress by Donna Karan and purple Stuart Weitzman “FrontPage” open toe pumps. She absolutely nailed this look!

The next day she attended the movie’s press conference at Shinjuku Park Town, Tokyo looking very simple but stunning in her Thomas Wylde Castile chains embellished dress with white platform heels by Versace.

June 9th 2009, the cast of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen flew over to Seoul, South Korea and this time Megan Fox chose a sheer striped Herve Leroux LBD and black Brian Atwood “Wagner” open toe pumps for the premiere. I love this sophisticated air she brought in this look.

Megan Fox appeared very demure and ladylike in a striped Mara Hoffman dress, edgy Rider triple buckle corset belt, with a light grey cardigan and black Camila Skovgaard Barbero T strap high heel sandals at the Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen Press Conference in Seoul the next day.

For the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Photocall held at the Hotel George V in Paris on June 12th 2009, Megan Fox opted for a purple print Alberta Ferretti dress from the designer’s Pre-Fall 2009 collection. Her signature black hair tumbled in waves, softening her face from her usual hard and sexy look. Below right: Megan Fox with her Transformers co-star, Shia Lebouf.

On June 14th 2009, Megan Fox dropped the jaws of everyone who saw her in her slit-to-the-thigh Roberto Cavalli dress during the movie’s premiere in Berlin. She stole the show in this one shouldered dress with a small cutout adorned with a gold snake and Brian Atwood “Warner” peep toe pumps in nude suede. I love that she tied her hair back and parted it in the middle.

Maybe Megan Fox wanted to remind the world just why FHM voters named her as “Sexiest Woman in The World” in 2008. I guess all that showing off skin must’ve been “chilly” for Megan Fox. Most fashion critics didn’t love this look, though. Jealous much?

Moving on to the Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen premiere in the UK on June 15th, Megan Fox decided to go with a black Kaufman Franco high twist jersey dress from the Fall 2008 collection. She showed off her tatts with the very sexy back but I personally find this look my least favorite. A bit boring for me.

Finally, on 17th June 2009, Megan Fox showed up at the Moscow premiere of Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen looking stunning! She redeemed herself by ditching the black and instead went on pink mode in this lovely strapless floral print pink Armani Prive! Completing this look was her merlot patent leather Christian Laboutin Bianca platform pumps and with her hair all very pin up girl-like! I think she blew this one out of the park. Absolutely gorgeous!

With upcoming movies such as Diablo Cody’s horror flick, Jennifer’s Body (which she stars alongside Amanda Seyfried and Adam Brody) and Jonah Hex (alongside Josh Brolin and Will Arnett) this 23-year old starlet is definitely on her way to bigger and better things and hopefully we’ll continue to see her shine at movie premieres and on the red carpet!

The name Louis Vuitton is one of the most internationally renowned luxury brand that stirs the hearts of millions. So much so that it has also become one of the most counterfeited contemporary labels around. I just came back from the mall and I saw this lady carrying a multi-colored monogram counterfeit LV tote that instead of it being LV, the monograms looked like XL to me!

So anyways, back to Fashion Forward Friday, I was checking out the Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Collection and I believe Marc Jacobs had created a line that just screamed to me, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!”

Straight from the eighties with the ruffles, poufed shoulders, ruched bodices, padded shoulders, Marc Jacobs certainly put some zing in the LV Fall 2009 collection! Seems like he was paying tribute to all the trends that we thought of as fashion faux pas of the 80’s.. and turning it into absolute gorgeousness..

For those stuck in the 80’s, enjoy!
