Would You Dare To Wear?

Leighton Meester's lace Marchesa jumpsuit. Do you love it or hate it?

I'm pretty in to it. It would be nice if it left a little more to the imagination, but the sweet yet naughty edginess of black lace always appeals to me. Even though it should be too much, the vintage, almost burlesque sexiness makes it work. It's different than anything I've seen lately, while still remaining really current.
I don't know if I'd ever have the cajones to wear it, but my inner skank is giving this two thumbs up.

Who Wore It Best? Ciara VS. Kim K.

Kim Kardashian and Ciara both wear a dress from Carven's Fall 2010 line. Kim in Paris, Sept. 16th, Ciara in NYC Oct. 25th.

Damn! Down to the shoes and everything! I honestly want to hand this one to Ciara, as a curvy girl myself I know sometimes all that ruffle and poof just makes you look a bit too "fluffy".
However, Something inside me just won't allow me to let Ciara to get away with this one...even the same shoes? A month and a half later? They're friends, they hang out! She should have damn well known what this would look like!
I'm all for sharing a deal with a friend, but they don't need deals, and this is the red carpet we're talking about. I'm saying, what part of the game is scrap collecting? Pure chickenheadry. The dress isn't even that hot to be digging through your homegirls salvation army bags like that.

Kim, you win this round.

Hot Or Not?

Blake Lively does not employ a stylist, so she's out here flying solo. I respect her creative gangsta, this look is definitely different.

Some have commented that this outfit appears too "walk of shame", and although I do see why one might say that, I don't think that really holds any weight. There are tons of cosmetics and lingerie inspired clothing created for the sole purpose of making you look "tryst-y", (yes I made that up) no need to get persnickety now. Besides, if nothing else it's gotten her noticed.

So skanky jokes not withstanding, I think the look is a bit weird, but there's something kinda cute about it too. I feel like she was on to something, and maybe she almost had it. What do you think?



BTW, this edition of Hot Or Not is very near and dear to my heart as I've been eyeing an awesome Internet deal on what I believe to be this very same skirt!
This week I spotted this sparkly number from Alice and Olivia regularly priced at $297 for...wait for it...under $50!!!
Hmm, maybe I should snatch one up and try to do an update/upgrade on Blake's look.
