Hippie Chic….

Suffice to say, fashion was not at the forefront of the Hippie movement’s consciousness. More concerned with rebelling against social order and exploring their sexuality, hippies threw on clothes that challenged their middle class upbringing. Flash 30 to 40 years later and the likes of Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller and even Oprah are embracing their bohemian alter ego’s. Thank designers like Anna Sui, Etro, Gucci and Matthew Williamson for putting bright, 70’s inspired prints back on the runway and into our lives. As usual see below for ideas.

2006 Black Movie Awards continued...

Chante Moore & Elise Neal
Shaun Robinson & Keke Palmer
The Soul Food Crew: Darren Henson & Vanessa Williams and Rockmond Dunbar & Malinda Williams
Tyler Perry & Oprah and Jill Scott – Three of my favorite people!

The 2006 Black Movie Awards took place on Sunday night, the event is only on its second year but it already knows how to bring in the A-listers. Oprah, Angela Bassett, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, Lynn Whitfield, and Jill Scott were all in attendance. I have to say the older ladies won out over their younger counterparts in the style stakes. Angela, Oprah and Lynn Whitfield looked STUNNING! If I look half as good as they do at 50 I’ll be happy. As for the ‘young ones,’ Tracee and Lauren London held it down, both their dresses were divine. But where were the usual suspects, Gabby, Sanaa and Vivica were all M.I.A. And as for the men, Shemar Moore and Tyler Perry looked delicious… It’s time for another AMEN!

Style on the Go...

Lenny Kravitz and his 16 year-old daughter, Zoe Kravitz, attending the Jean-Paul Gaultier Ready-To-Wear Fashion Show in Milan last week.
Nicole Richie attending the 2nd Annual "The Pink Party." A Star-Studded Elyse Walker Benefit Supporting Cedars-Sinai Women's Cancer Research Institute.
Rosario Dawson arriving at the 2006 Spike TV Scream Awards earlier this week.
Oprah Winfrey at the “Hearst Inaugurates the Brand New Hearst Tower” event last night.

I know some of these photos are old as hell but I had to post them anyway. Zoe and Lenny Kravitz are the epitome of style, at the risk of sounding sick, they almost look like a couple! Rosario Dawson and Oprah look HOT in flaming red, its still the color of the moment. And as for Nicole Richie, we need to hold her down and force feed her some fried chicken; I’ll restrain her legs, someone else volunteer to hold down her arms. I will admit that she looks ‘prettier’ now than she did back in “The Simple Life” days, but enough is enough already. On another note, I’ve never been a big fan of Pucci, but their dress looks fabulous on ol’ Nikki, she’d better work it!
