Excerpt from Fashion Bomb Daily: The Best Gowns At 2012 MET GALA!

Who looked BEST?

This (pic) is an excerpt from Fashion Bomb Daily, via the 2012 Met Institute of Art Costume Gala. Many celebs came out to showcase some of their best look, often seen photographed with the designer of the gown. Now, I've posted four pics above of Paula Patton, Solange Knowles, Rihanna, and Beyonce, and I'm going to grade each of them.

First is Paula; she's every bit sweet and flowery with her personality, smile, and that stunning iridescent pink dress by Vera Wang. She gets an A- for that.

Next is Solange; she's in a class all by herself with her diva-like, Diana Ross hair with her sophisicated yellow dress by Rachel Roy. She gets a B for that.

Rihanna is next; WHAAAAAT HAPPENED BABY??! The dress, by Tom Ford, is cool with it's croc print, but the cut is boring even by Rihanna's standards... and the hair?? She gets a C- for that.

Beyonce? Gown by Ty Hunter. BEY? A.

KIM KARDASHIAN & KRIS HUMP WEDDING SPECIAL

Let me ask you this: How many of you took time out of your day to watch the Kim and Kris Wedding Special on E! these past two days?! Let me rephrase, WHO SPENT 4 HOURS OF THEIR LIFE WATCHING THIS SPECIAL?! Is it sad to say that I DID!

On Sunday, that two-hour special was pretty pointless. It was supposed to highlight the time leading up to the wedding, but it went into all these different tangents such as Kris Jenner's obsessive compulsive disorder with her looks, and Rob Kardashian's junk food bingeing. First of all when a mom hears about her daughter's wedding news that is three months away, what mother automatically thinks 'OMG I NEED TO GET PLASTIC SURGERY DONE FOR MYSELF!' Kris looks great for her age, but to see her feel so self-conscious in her appearance before the surgery is very questionable. Also Rob already gets a bad rep as the "lazy Kardashian". It truly doesn't help to see him move again from Khloe's house to Kourtney's place (living off his sisters), to change his eating habits. Yes Rob, we notice you're not in the best shape and you prefer eating junk food, another fail on your part.

What was really highlighted in this four hour special was HOW INCOMPATIBLE KIM AND KRIS ARE FOR EACH OTHER. Right when Kris ended his NBA season, he moved into Kim's beautiful house with his two dogs which he let sleep in their bed! But the crazy thing too is that even before talk of the current NBA lockout, his contract with the New Jersey Nets ended, so he was and is currently jobless (as if we didn't know that Kim is too good for Kris, career and looks wise). Though the saying "opposites attract" is often used to describe couples, this is not a good type of opposite. Kim is the ultimate high maintenance queen who's a neat freak, while Kris comes from a small hometown and doesn't care about the glitz and glamour type life. And who doesn't know that Kim was married before? Well Kris didn't after dating her for a few months, he had to be told! (as if it wasn't clear you were a bit on the "slow side")

One thing the world who tunes into everything entertainment and "Kardashian" knows is that Kim was always the one wanting to get married, and once that opportunity came she took it. She's of course gorgeous and has managed to make a big business of herself and her family clan, but is rushing to the altar really the answer for true love? Like Khloe said, "she falls in love hard" and there's nothing wrong with that, but it was just bothering to see all their arguments played out for everyone to see. It's like the entire special was focused on that, with very rare good moments between the couple. It also didn't help that the Kardashian clan didn't really like Kris for his rudeness and I don't blame them. You can't automatically be comfortable with someone, especially the family of someone you're dating right away. You need to earn their trust first. But for Kris Hump that was another story, he is just plain rude and yes Kim, he "has a very different sense of humor" that no one gets and isn't funny.

I'm happy that Kim got her fairytale wedding that she always dreamed about since she was a little girl. She looked so gorgeous on her special day, wearing three Vera Wang dresses throughout the night; we all know the attention was on Kim. Though this special was called "Kim Kardashian's Fairytale Wedding", the actual wedding footage was barely the last 15 minutes of the 4 hour broadcast! Can someone say, "GOTCHA...AGAIN!" Nonetheless as much as this post may be negative, I hope that this union works out well for them because I'm a true believer of the sanctity of a marriage. Being an outsider looking in, we don't know how they are in reality but all we can judge by is what we see displayed on this "reality show".

VERA WANG UNVEILS NEW LINE OF AFFORDABLE BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES

Vera Wang White Label, her line for the popular wedding boutique David's Bridal, is introducing more affordable bridesmaids dresses ranging from $158-$200. Her alliance with David's Bridal has gave her freedom to develop bridesmaids dresses "in a much larger and more unusual way with a tremendous amount of support. They are up for anything I am interested in trying."

The line is made up of seven pieces in shades such as champagne, orchid, amethyst, and charcoal. Though the designer claims these dresses aren't necessarily inexpensive, they do come in a variety of options such as strapless draped gowns, satin asymmetrical designs, one-shoulder short dress with a bubble skirt, short dress with horizontal pleats, or sleeveless chiffon column dress.

Each dress Wang explains conveys a youthful spirit. She says, “The secret is I always wonder how I could do it better, push the envelope farther and do it on a better budget. Nothing is done without thought.”

Speaking of her bridesmaids line out, she also has a shoe line for David's Bridal retailing between $58-$98 that features four shoe styles: pump, peep-toe pump, open-toe bootie, and a ballerina flat. Now you can get that high fashion look for more affordable prices, one that appeals to everyone.
