Who invited her?
Can someone explain why Kim Kardashian is at the Teen Choice Awards? Last time I checked she is neither a teenager nor doing anything teenage appropriate.
Whatevs. It wasn’t my party.
Check here for more pics from the red carpet.
Must See Chris Brown’s Cute Face
Happy Monday.
Kadi.
And the weather so breezy, man why can’t life always be this easy…
I really do like this guy. Ego and all.
He’s one talented mofo.
And fashion-wise, I don’t think anybody does it better than he does, period.
Yo. Step out of the box, fellas!
Try color! Try something other than jeans!
Try Moccasins!
Try skipping the barbershop for 4 weeks!
Forreal. The ladies sometimes like it rough.

The ESPYS red carpet.
Toccara seems to kind of want to go classy with this one, and homie nails it. Love the color. Refreshing to see someone other than Beyonce rock this style of dress.
Venus Williams made a grand entrance looking quite regal in her sequin dress with empire waist. Girl knows how to work her long lines.
Ashanti looks adorable and summery and pretty boring.
Only two cute things caught my eye. One is tall, dark and handsome … and the other is silver, black and 3-inches.
Best Dressed?
Carmelo Anthony.
Joke. Toccara. I love the cut of a mermaid dress. It’s the sexiest and only best worn by confident, curvy woman.
Kadi.
Khakis with attitude.
Remember when Khaki was boring and only preppy boys with lame jobs dared to wear them … Not anymore.
Throw away any preconceived ideas about khakis. Khaki is classic and no longer boring, thanks to hipper styling and colors.
Add a short strap duffle bag and something unexpected … NOT LIKE Monica’s matching scarf. Wrong!
More like a skinny chain belt to snaz up the classic feel.
Wear it in style, like Tichina’s bootcut. Or hack the bottom to right about the ankle and show off a great pair of shoes.
NOTE: Be sure to peek at your rear and see that the pants have a flattering fit. Sometimes khaki pants do bad things for the booty.
Another terrific look is the belted trench, chic and practical at the same time.
Are you koo koo for khaki?
Not really, but I do love Monica’s jumper – WITHOUT the scarf.
Kadi.
Flimsy frocks go from day to night.
It’s so great to just be able to throw on something loose and comfy and summery.
Daytime Look
I adore dresses like that – no elastic, nothing constraining. It is just nice casual summer wear. And it looks like Halle isn’t even trying.
Nighttime Look
Now add a lil’ something resembling a waistline to Mya’s sexy number, and you get loose, comfy and shape.
I love summer dresses.
Can’t you just hear DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince singing Summer Summer Summertime?
Which look is your fave?
Kadi.
Great Cause, Good Clothes
Last night Alicia Keys threw something called The Keep a Child Alive Black Ball.
The girl is killing the industry in grace and leadership. Looks like her style game is on the up and up, too. The beaded plunging neckline and defined draped hips accentuates all her right places.
HOT.
More so because she continues to flaunt that high forehead with no shame. I’ll do the damn same.
Jennifer looks pretty, but I can’t pretend I’m a huge fan of these New York & Co. style giraffe prints. However, it’s nice to see our lady in something softer.
She looks very comfy. The defined waist, cupped breasts, structured armor look is not always necessary.
Which dress is your fave?
Kadi.
The word tacky doesn’t quite go far enough.
Seems like Jaslene and Keenyah work the “red carpet” more than the catwalk.
I don’t get either outfit, but hey, it got them photographed and that’s all that matters, right?
No, she didn’t.
Yes, she did.
Next time, wear a cami. Nobody wants to see all that skin, stomach, sternum.
Keenyah’s so-called dress is a bathing suit cover. Cheap and only cute if water is your final destination. I hope she didn’t pay more than $20 for that ish.
Thumbs double down.
What do you think?
Kadi.
Black Star Power
Great show! Elegant, with just a pinch of ghetto fab!
Still, I think no awards show can beat the one where Monique performed the entire dance sequence of Bey’s “Crazy In Love” with all big girls. So fun.
And now for my fashion rundown ….
I love Rihanna’s dress because it’s totally what I would wear to a summer red carpet event. Fabulous!
Let’s assume Terrence Howard’s cane is functional because the man looks seriously smooth. I miss the slick back though.
Boris Kodjoe … *licks screen*
Clearly, Trina’s outfit is a shirt. Still adorable. LOVE yellow on our skin complexion.
I’m so-so on Keri Hilson’s silver jumper. Very disco-ish and crotch pull does look uncomfy, but wow she lights up the room!
Cute as a button. Jordin Sparks’ red number is a classy choice.
J-Hud looks uncomfortable, but hey — fashion hurts, remember.
Solange Knowles clearly inherited great genes. As for the dress – questionable. As for the weave – out of control.
Omarosa, work those girls for every dime they cost ya.
Jacki-O’s dress reminds me of the fake LV bag I had in high school. Chanel?? Next time just wear the Chanel bag. That way we all know you’re wearing Chanel.
It may not be elegant, but I freakin’ enjoyed Lil Mama’s ridiculous getup. Complete with the little red Chucks. Man, it’s ugly. But, I think Teyana Taylor, Kelis, Kid Sister, and a lot of other fearless Black girls would be proud!
Gabrielle Union is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, hands down. Natural, God-given beauty. Loves it.
Now, it’s your turn.
Who looked hot and who looked a hot mess?
Kadi.
Best and Worst Dressed from Past BET Awards.
Best Dressed
Alicia Keys ‘05 – This pic marks the end of Alicia’s tomboy days and the beginning of a more glamorous side of being a style star. Today, she’s all woman and has no issue wearing the girliest of gowns.
Ashanti ‘02 - Remember Ashanti’s semi-unibrow days? Ha.
Ahhh, the trio. They were the ish in ‘05! Who can forget their steamy ‘Cater 2 U’ lap dance performance? Good times. Fast forward three years … Michelle who?
See more Best Dressed pics here.
Worst Dressed
Woah. Ciara, Ciara. Boy, were you a hot mess in ‘05. Her style is still unpredictable, so this year it could go either way - yummy or yucky.
Aw. We miss you, Free! Hope to see you this year … in a better outfit.
Yup, this is Solange in ‘01. But even seven years ago, this look was not poppin’. With the help of big sis and mother dearest, I’m sure she’ll come correct this time.

P.S. Tonight’s the night!! Fresh red carpet pics to come!
TGIF!
Both men and women like to slip into a nice pair of comfortable jeans. Jeans are often associated with casual wear, but with the right accessories, you can dress up jeans nicely.
If you are planning to attend a more formal type of event, choose dark denim.
For women, pair with a top that’s lacy, frilly, or silky. For men, a dressy button down shirt can work.
Accessorize with a stunning necklace or bracelet for sophistication. For men, a fancy watch can create a look of distinction.
Purchase a belt. Women often can dress up jeans with a colorful belt, a chain belt or a cloth belt. Men can dress up jeans with a genuine leather belt.
For your feet, a nice pair of high heels can compliment your look. Men can choose a pair of loafers or dress sneaks.
Ahhh, I love jeans and heels about equally. I love wearing my jeans with a hot pair of heels. It’s the best of both worlds.
Happy Friday!
Kadi.
