EMMYS BEST DRESSSED!

BEST DRESSED A LA EMMYS 

So, the Emmys happened last night and I gotta say...they were pretty great. Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 68th prime time Emmy Awards show and the guy was pretty hilarious. The show wasn't too drawn out, like I was SUPER surprised that it ended promptly at 11pm, (you know unlike the Oscars), Jimmy really kept the show moving with hilarious skits, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and a lot of great cracks about Maggie Smith. Congrats to that "Downtown Abbey" dame by the way!

Ugh, really gonna miss Downtown. Meh. But besides the lovely Maggie Smith - who were the big winners of the night? Well, Emmys vet TV show, "Game of Thrones" broke the Emmys record last beating the classic, "Frasier" with the most Emmys award wins. The 90s sitcom has a total of 37 Emmys and GOT nows has 38! GASP. (To me this is kind of like when "Lord of the Rings" broke the Oscar record and won more awards than "Titanic"....no?)

So, anyway big congrats to GOT woot woot, BUT the show I reeeeallly care about? DA PEOPLE VS OJ SIMPSON!! WHOO! And not only was legit the WHOLE cast nominated for an Emmy, which is pretty crazy, the three best cast members won...duh.

BIG Congrats to my girl Sarah Paulson, Sterling K. Brown, and Courtney B. Vance, whose preacher style acceptation speech stole the show. LOL.

YAY for all the awesome Emmy winners! It was a great show, but now let's talk FASHION. EEK! Here are my TOP looks on last night's red carpet.


LE BEST OF THE BEST 

Sarah Paulson in Prada. 

Not only did Sarah Paulson give the performance of the year as Marcia Clark in the winner for Best Limited TV Series, "The People vs. OJ Simpson," she also stole the show in her simply STUNNING Prada gown. Everything from her blunt, blonde cut, to her diamond earrings that perfectly compliment the sparkles in the all over gown in just, well #Flawless. And since Beyonce didn't show last night...(not over it)...Sarah Paulson reigns supreme as Queen. Congrats Sarah! 

Kristen Bell in Zuhair Murad.

Wow. This dress was just like wow. I have really no words expect for that this may be the best dress Kristen Bell has every worn ever. Like this is a career changing dress. This is probably one of my favorite red carpet looks I've seen in a long ass time. Not only was the dress just amazing, her styling was on point. Her hair cut with the simple diamond drop earrings is just so elegant. Like, Anna and Elsa are prob super jealous of this dress. I know I am. Def fit for a princess. 

Michelle Dockery in Oscar de la Renta. 

UGH sadly this is the last time we'll see Michelle on stage for anything Downtown related, but the girl looked Kate Middleton regal in this ruffled Oscar down. The black and white is just so classy, like her duh, and I can't WAIT for her American accent in her new Fall show "Bad Behavior." I'll miss Mary Crawley, but thank god for Michelle. 

Priyanka Chopra in Jason Wu. 

UMMM. DID YOU SEE HER TWIRL?!! Wow. Not only did she just look super fierce in this red hot number, but when she and Tom Hiddleston walked out on stage last night, not only was she gliding on air, when she spun around it was like the world stopped for just a minute. Also, she and Tom Hiddleston should date like NOW. Talk about one attractive British couple. Sorry Taylor. 

JK. We're not sorry. 

BEST 

Sarah Hyland in Monique L'huillier. 

One of my favorite things on the red carpet is pants, but pants done right. This look is very Marie Antoinette meets modern day woman and I LOVE it. It's the most regal non-ballgown I've ever seen and Sarah completely rocked this look with her side swept up-do and minimalistic jewels. "Modern Family" may have lost to "VEEP," but Sarah slayed.  

Constance Zimmer in Monique L'huillier. 

Another Monique look, Constance looked pretty pink in this elegantly ornate gown. I think my favorite thing about this look is the blunt, edgy hair cut in contrast with the very feminine frills of the gown. I also died for the shade of her perfectly pink lipstick. Like the whole thing was just so on point. If she was a real Bach contestant, I'd give her my rose. 

Maura Kelly  in Cristian Siriano. 

I may be biases because "The Affair" is one of my favorite shows and Maura totally kills it in the show, even though she didn't win, I love her adorable, custom made Cristian Siriano gown. Her side-swept hair and the diamond studs was the perfect amount of elegance to make the outfit stand out. I think my favorite thing about this look is the tea-length skirt. Very retro, very "Mad Men." (Yeah, I'm still not over Mad Men's ending, it's fine). 

Minnie Driver in Versace. 

Another woman who rocked the tea-length dress, my girl Minnie. God I love this woman and this dress is just sexy gorgeous. There was a lot of yellow on the carpet last night, but Minnie did it the best. I don't even know how old Minnie is, but she literally looks UNREAL in this dress. The cool and causal hair with sleek and sexy cut outs is just perfection. I'm pretty sure I am 20 or 30 years younger than her and I don't think I would look as good in this dress. Like I wouldn't. She's amazing. 

Claire Danes in Schiaparelli.  

So, I LOVE this dress. Why? Well because it's a gold sequin dress. Duh. And Claire's hair always looks great, like so effortless its a joke. But the only thing that completely kinda ruined this look was Claire's ABSURDLY orange skin. I don't know HOW her stylist let her go out on the carpet looking as orange as she did, but LUCKILY, the tan actually photographed a lot better than it looked on TV. Because on TV, not gonna lie it was like umpa lumpa city. But again, the dress is gorgeous and she rarely does wrong in the fashion department so we're letting the crazy tan slide...kinda. 

America Ferrera in Jenny Packham. 

Okay, so I know what most people are thinking, this outfit is pretty basic. A navy, sequin dress. Whoop-de-do. BUT the styling for America's whole look is FLAWLESS. Unlike Claire, her tan is perfection and I love the nude lip and JLO glow she's got going on with the wavy hair, disco earrings and of course, the gown. I think this is the perfect example of how you can make a fairly simple, B-List dress look A-list on the carpet. Bravo! 

Kerry Washington in Brandon Maxwell. 

SLAY ALL DAY. Though a lot of us are kinda pissed at Lady Kerry right now because she's about to be a mama again and we're all mizzz because that means no more "Scandal" for awhile...ugh, so selfish. LOL. BUT the mommy-to-be looked sophisticated sharp in this Brandon Maxwell design, perfect her super baby bump. And let's not forget Kerry's natural hair do. Talk about #BlackGirlMagic. 

Guiliana Ranic in Georges Chakra Couture.

Though I am super convinced that E! is STILL trying to hide Guiliana's arms from the site of the public so she can continue the slay the red carpet interviews for award season, but this "etherial" cape dress mixed with sparkles and tulle is just everything. Can I wear this to my wedding? Because I would. 

Sophie Turner in Valentino. 

If you aren't to blinded by the site of Sophie's rock, lol then you can see how cool this black, lace and tulle gown is. I normally don't like black on red carpets, Kerry aside, but when you can do something cool and intricate with black, you can really rock it. I love Sophie's bleach blonde hair with the black lace its very dark and edgy meets sweet and sophisticated. Loooove it. 

Olivia Culpo in Zac Posen. 

So, I'm gonna be honest, I don't really know why she was at the Emmys LOL but, this dress is well, beautiful. Like a literal work of art. She looks like an ice princess who just stepped out of the snow or something and I just love it. I would also wear this dress to my wedding, no shame. 

Abigail Spencer in Jenny Packham. 

A lot of Jenny Peckham and a lot of Zac Posen on the red carpet last night, but this is one of my favorite looks for several reason that are probably obvious - the sequins, the tulle, and the ruffles. This dress basically has all the makings of what I call a perfecr dress. Expect my perfect dress would be like gold or silver. Not navy. 

Tracey Ellen Ross in Ralph Lauren. 

Winter white looks hot this is "Blackish" star. The cut out, chiffon number was a winner on the carpet and my favorite thing about the look is her slicked back hair with the fun, disco earrings.  "Blackish" may not have won this year, but Tracy is such a fashion maven on the carpet and a winner in my eyes. She's just taking after her moma in all the right ways. 

E! Online screen shots. 

TSwift and Hiddleson Are OVA!!

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleson are DUNZOO!! But I Mean...Are We Surprised?! Nope. 

Bump, bump, bump - another one bites the dust! Wait - hold on, am I having deja vu?! Didn't I JUST write a blog post about a recent TSwift break up?! UMM YEAH, I did. When? Just THREE months before when Swift broke up former beau, Calvin Harris. Yeah, we really hate to tell ya'll we told you so. JK. We don't. 

Geez. The girl does not quit. Do we think all this dating is just research for her new album?! OR is the girl just literally INSANE? Cause let's be real, have any of TSwift's romances lasted...nope. I especially should have made a bet about this one because the rumored PR stunt relationship with British bad boy (well, at least he plays one on TV), Tom Hiddleson, is now officially over after just three months. HMM. A little odd. Well, yes because that was awfully short, but then no because it's Taylor.

The night "HiddleSwift" apprently fell in love. LOL. OK. 

So the reason for the rumored break up? According to US Weekly, who broke the news of the split, Taylor is the one who decided to end the relationship because Tom apparently wanted to make their relationship "more public."

Wait, wait, I'm sorry - TOM wanted to make the relationship more public?! And Taylor was MAD about this??! Earth to Taylor - you're a freaking PUBLIC FIGURE! Everything in your life is public! You're also freaking Taylor Swift and your love life has NEVER EVER been not public!! You've got a freaking encyclopedia of celebrity romances that sure as hell aren't public so this reasoning for a break up is confusing to us...

So, I am gonna go ahead and call BULL on Taylor and her PR team, yet again because that reasoning makes no sense. For several reasons:

1. Taylor Swift broke up Calvin Harris in the most PUBLIC way possible and even proceeded to publicly shame him after they broke up and she started dating Tom RIGHT AWAY. Talk about rude.

(Meanwhile Harris wins GQ's Man of the Year Award. Way ta bow it Taylor.) 

Calvin lookin GOOD. 

2. She took some pretty PUBLIC photos of her and Tom making out like they've been married for 100 years years on a beach RIGHT after she broke up with her boyfriend of a year - WHO DOES THAT?! Not normal people.



3. Taylor put herself in the middle of the public again at her super PUBLIC 4th of July party that she released MAD photos of that have pics of Tom wearing an "I love T.S." shirt. I'm pretty sure he didn't pick that out on his own...



4. Then just a few weeks later Taylor was yet again the PUBLIC eye after Kim Kardash pulled a boss move and called the singer out for lying about not knowing about Kanye's West song "Famous," with videos of Swift agreeing to the song.

#TeamKimye

(Rumor has that Tom was annoyed with THAT. So whose fault is that? Taylor's. Not Tom. Taylor has also been super silent since the snapchat incident. Yikes.)

5. A recent Perez Hilton article talked about how Taylor was frustrated with Tom while he has been in Australia filming "Thor," saying that she wasn't able to see him enough and was extremely needy and controlling with what Tom was doing. Yup, that sounds a tad familiar...Calvin said something similar about Swift as the reasoning behind their breakup.

(It's like HELLO your BF is in Australia filming "Thor" with people like Idris Elba! Leave him alone! Geez.) 

So, apparently their break up was mutual, but then again, that's what they said about Taylor's break up with Calvin and we all know how that ended up.

AKA leave me ALONE and stop talking shit. And he was being NICE.

So bottom line is, do we think this whole Taylor broke up with Tom because Tom wanted to be "more public" is true?? Hands down 110% NOPE. Lies. And we all know now this girl is reeeally good at lying. But one thing is def probably true tho and that's that both Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleson are bout to be featured on a classic TSwift album. And like we say in good ole England, God save them.

YUP. 

Looks like to me that Taylor's constant break ups will never go "out of style." LOL. Okay, okay, I'm done.

Here we go again. #NeverEverGettingBackTogether


SIDE NOTE: Taylor doesn't deserve to go to da Emmys anyways. You rock that nomination on your own Hiddleson!

NEW BACHELOR ALERT!

Nick Viall Is The New BACH And People Are Bugginnn...

Welp, if you were watching Amanda make a fool of herself with Josh, while feeling completely smothered and overwhelmed by Ashley's waterworks and the train wreck that is Lace and Grant's relationship, then you were DEF watching "Bachelor In Paradise" last night, which means you also anxiously sat through the miz after show JUST so you can see who the next BACH will be...

And if ya don't know, know ya know that the next Bach is - NICK VIALL!! Woot Woot???



So, this announcement def came as quite the shock for most Bachelor fans. Why? Well, because a lot of us out there were hoping that the crown would be passed to the dashing Luke Pell, OR I guess Chase...who is hot, but personally I think is like sups boring.

TRUST ME...I believe ya. ;) 

ANYWAY, whether ya like it or not, Viall was offered the opportunity to have a second - sorry, third, wait, FORTH chance at finding love and gotta say, I think he really really deserves this.


I mean HELLO...he's got a great bod...



He dresses well...

Your guy has gotta look good in a blazer. That's a must. 

Leather jacket swag is crucial. 

He's funny...

Jared impressions are KEY. 

He loves kids...



He was the joker for Halloween and kinda killed it...




He's best friends with Wells!! (Major brownie points with me...I love Wells. Is he still single? Lol). 




And suuure a few of us devout Bach fans will always remember the "so, theeeen why did you have sex with me?" heard ALL around the world on Andi's infamous "Tell All" special when Nick straight up asked her if she knew he wasn't gonna pick her then WHY go forward with the fantasy suite. LOL.

Looking back on that, we were all SO shocked by the fact that Nick said that national television and ya, we thought it was such a douche move, but now, compare Nick's douchey comment to how much of a douche Josh Murray WAS and IS...and then you're like OKAY maybe Nick's comment back then was likeee kinda valid. #JoshStillSucks




But we're TOTES over that! Because now we love Nick! Right?!

Chris Harrison recently told PEOPLE Mag that Viall was chosen to be the next season Bachelor because: "He has just become that perennial, second place guy who wants to find love and is as sincere, if not more sincere, than anybody finding it."

WOAH. Can you say TEN POINTS for Chris Harrison!! I think he just nailed the reason on the head. Like, there are people AKA  Josh and Jordan (AKA literally the same people), who are "finding love" and let's be real, they DEF don't deserve it over Nick who just seems like a nicer guy.

(And just to clarify, yes everyone deserves to be loved and all of that, but Josh and Jordan...well, Josh especially is like the douche of a douches so I really don't care. Oops?)




Good luck with that Amanda! Like he's been engaged once and looked how that turned out. It turned out to be Josh becoming the most well-known non-fiction villain in Andi Dorfman's book and lead him to be on VH1's "Famously Single," and "Bachelor in Paradise" AT THE SAME TIME.

Yeah, that's def (NOT) the kinda guy I want to marry. Like, moan much?! LOLz. Ew.

His true love. Miz. 

Well, I don't know about you, but I'll be rooting for Nick to find love. I mean the guy is 34 and good looking and has a legit career sooo like WHY NOT? So, cheers to you Nick and I hope you find what you've been looking for!

And to the confused couples left on "Bachelor In Paradise,"I  honestly don't think I can say the same. HAHA. Miz.

Yeah, I'm with the twin on this one. 

VMAS BEST MOMENTS

The Rihanna and Beyonce Show! VMA 2016 BEST Moments! 

So normally, as most of you know, I like to do a red carpet round up of awards show fashion because if you were watchin, then you most likely know what happened and I don't exactly NEED to recap that for ya, but last night at the VMAs, the red carpet was sub par and the fashion was sub par sooo I'm just gonna talk about all my FAV moments. I mean, what a great show. I am surprised that Madison Square Garden didn't explode from the greatness that was Rihanna and Beyonce performing in the same arena. Like, outta control. 

But here is a list of things that did in fact make my head explode while watching last night's show. Here are ma BEST VMA moments. Whoohoo! 

SIDE NOTE: These moments are in no particular order, just literally as the come up in my head...

When Kanye West called out Taylor Swift without even mentioning her NAME. Baller. 

"THAT'S WHY I CALLED HER." Yup. 

When Kanye said hey to Amber Rose from the stage and she waved from the crowd leaving Kanye to say: "My wife's a G." LOLzzz. 

When Kanye presented the new video for his song "Fade" and now everyone made a mad dash to the gym right after watching. 

The "Flashdance" inspired video is 'bout to make Tenaya Taylor some MAD money. 

When Kimmy K showed up on the carpet looking like this: 

When Britney Spears rocked this sequin hoodie: 

When Diddy told us that Drake was coming, but he wasn't there yet because stuck in traffic...and proceed to plug is latest tour and album. LOL.

When Jay Pharoh tried to ask DJ Khaled why he was so famous and came up with the expression: THEY DONT WANT YOU TO BRUNCH!

When Jay Pharoh did his Kevin Hart and Jay Z impressions and they were just SO on point. 

When Jimmy Fallon dressed up as Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps was loosing his mind in the crowd. 

When the "Final Five" (minus Gabby) presented on stage and it was like the Queen of England walked into MSG. Literally everyone was bowing. 

The amount of photos taken backstage with the gymnastics queens was PRICELESS. 

When Michael Phelps introduced Future...like WHAT?! 

When DNCE won for Best New Artist and Nick Jonas was caught in the crowd like SOO excited for his brother. 

BEYONCE 

When Beyonce and Blue walked the red carpet looking like angels from heaven. 

This picture of Blue:

Beyonce walking the red carpet with the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Oscar Grant III in honor of the Black Lives Matter. 

When Beyonce basically performed her WHOLE album, costume changes and all. #Lemonade

When the standing ovation for Beyonce lasted so long after her performance and Key and Peele literally didn't even know what to do as hosts. 

"Beyonce's STILL on stage - take us off camera!" 

When Beyonce won 90% of the awards and apparently now has the most VMAs of anyone like EVER. 

When Beyonce dedicated her award to the people of New Orleans. 

When we ALL realized this WHY again Beyonce is truly called the Queen and no one can touch her. 

When everyone in the ENTIRE place stood up and clapped for Beyonce and people were basically tearing up at her greatness. 

And God was likeee "Let there be BEYONCE!" BOOM. 

RIHANNA 

When Rihanna opened the show. 

When Rihanna closed the show. 

When we ALL realized we have a Rihanna song for pretty much every year of our lives. I know I do. 

When Drake presented Ri with the Michael Jackson Vanguard award and LITERALLY made Rihanna feel like the ONLY and I mean ONLY girl in the world and even she was like WOAH...

When Rihanna blushed and was just as shocked as we all were by Drake's touchy speech. 

"She's someone I've loved since I was 22 years old." 

#WaitForYourDrake

When we thought Drake was going to propose, but he didn't and we're all secretly but not so secretly bummed about that.

But he DID meet her FAM!! 

When we all realized that Chris Brown was def beating himself watching that last night. 

When Drake mentioned that Rihanna is one of the FEW artists who has remained true to herself during her climb to fame and hasn't changed who she is for anyway. YUP. No fakes betches here!

When I realized that if I had Rihanna's couture trench coat I most def would never NOT be caught in it. 

It was a pretty solid VMA show. I think maybe because people were genuinely happy that Taylor Swift was not there...

Like SO Happy. LOL.
