Double Edition: What Say We?... Yay or Nay?!

Sanaa Lathan at Cavern Wallpaper and Kidada Jones for Disney Coutour Celebrate Their New Collections last month in Hollywood, California.
Tyra Banks arriving at the 2007 Clive Davis Pre-GRAMMY Awards Party last Friday in Beverly Hills.

I don’t know folks, this hairstyle on Sanaa Lathan is looking a little busted and the dress didn’t need the tights. I think it’s a ‘Nay’ although she still looks cute like only Sanaa could. Look out for Ms. Lathan in the TV adaptation of “A Raisin in the Sun.” She'll be starring alongside the recent Broadway cast which includes Diddy, Audra McDonald, and Phylicia Rashad. I actually helped promote and watched this play when it debuted on Broadway back in '04.

Meanwhile Tyra needs to stop the persistent madness. A woman this beautiful must really be messing up to look this bad. Let’s begin with her hairline which consistently shows the lace from her wig. Then how could you miss the fake eyelashes that look like spiders on vacation. She’s wearing entirely too much makeup and the dress is not flattering her curvy figure. Is the lace part of the original dress? Who knows? A big fat NAY!

Black Style Now… and Then

Since it is Black History Month, I thought we should take a minute to honor pioneers in the African-American fashion scene. This video footage is taken from the “Black Style Now” exhibit, which is still on in New York by the way but ends on February 19th. Listen to celebrities, designers and fashion icons talk about what ‘Black Style’ means to them and how African-American culture has influenced all facets of the fashion world. Also visit www.blackstylenow.com to learn more about the exhibit and to view exclusive pictures of the launch event.

Jennifer Hudson on the cover of Vogue?

What started off as a rumor seems like it might actually become a reality. Academy Award nominee, Jennifer Hudson, will join Oprah Winfrey and Halle Berry as the third Black celebrity to ever land the cover of Vogue Magazine (U.S.). She will appear on the March “Power Issue” of the publication which showcases upcoming Spring fashions. Gossip columnist Liz Smith said Jennifer recently completed the photo shoot with Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley, himself, overseeing the entire session. Let’s keep our fingers and toes crossed. Anna Wintour doesn't even let people over a size four work for her nevermind appear on the cover of her beloved magazine. While we wait, visit Jennifer’s official site here and check her out in the latest Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue.
