Style Winners & Losers - September 8th, 2008

Melissa Morra and Christopher Turner

We saw a couple of drag queen-esque styles this week but some fabulous fashions nonetheless.

Rihanna

Melissa: Rihanna is stunning, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, she doesn�t always play up her assets on the red carpet. I have seen her look great a handful of times and this is definitely one of them. I think she looked gorgeous at the Conde Nast Fifth Annual Fashion Rocks event at Radio City Music Hall last week in this black Monique Lhuillier gown. It�s not an easy look to pull off. The middle bubble layer could have spelled disaster but I was pleasantly surprised to see her rock this sophisticated look so well.
Her Verdict: Style Winner

Christopher: To be honest, I am never really a fan of Rihanna on the red carpet. She�s usually decked out in every mismatched trend and looking ultra tacky. But at Friday night�s Fashion Rocks benefit in NYC she wowed in this stunning strapless black gown. The train of the gown and the layered details through the middle are truly beautiful and everything is pulled together with that magnificent jeweled belt. We are definitely not used to seeing Rihanna walk the red carpet in Monique Lhuillier but it is a welcome change.
His Verdict: Style Winner

This dress is from South Korean designer(Andre(?) Kim).

Lana says:

You're both blind if you think that Lily Allen's dress is "stunning". It looks like she grabbed an old comforter from her closet, pinned it up and wore it out. Repulsive.

who cares says:

who the f--- cares about these people!!! Thespians are a waste of skin!!!! Why do we care what they think? They have no brains!! There only talent is that they act.

Carol says:

I agree with M&C that the Style Winners this week be Rihanna, Ciara and Eva. Go "A-enders"! The "drag queen" headline was apropos for Christina, Pink and Tyra -- a scary ending to a mixed week.

Anonymous says:

Anne Hathaway Looks simply amazing in that dress.. Wow..

jaz says:

Katy Perry is beyond horrific in that picture.

Anon says:

How can you be seriously approving Rihanna's dress? That mess is atrocious, and downright hilarious.
