Wardrobe fitting 101

February 9, 2009 / 107 Comments

Do you guys ever want to know how I choose the looks that I end up wearing on the red carpet or out to parties or events? 

Well, I do wardrobe fittings with my stylists, Monica Rose and Angela Fink at my house! They bring over an entire rack of clothes and we try them on and take pictures. You never know if something is see-through, too bulky, or just doesn’t look right until the camera snaps a picture.

We do them ever-so-often and get together a bunch of different looks depending on the event. You can see my Grammy red carpet look in here, and a night out-on-the-town look.

We try different shoes and jewelry and then pin the clothes if we need them tailored, tighter, shorter — whatever it would need! It definitely takes time to get the right look.

Some of these looks I’ve worn, some I will wear soon, and some just didn’t work out — like the black Grammy dress. It was way too big on the top, so I needed it taken in and the back was too short, so I added fabric there.

Let me know which look here is your favorite!

My behind-the-scenes Grammy moments

February 9, 2009 / 78 Comments

Reggie surprised me with flowers in my trailer while I was getting ready for Sunday night’s Grammys!

You can see pictures here of me getting all decked out. My makeup artist/photographer extraordinaire Troy Jensen did my makeup and hair. I really love that he kept it light, glowy and sleek!

At the last minute, I opted out of a long, black gown and decided on a shorter, lighter dress by Australian designer Maticevski. I really appreciate the expert guidance by my stylists Monica Rose and Angela Fink. Great call, ladies!

Then off to the show! Check out Giuliana DePandi and I getting prepped behind-the-scenes!

Overall, I had a great time!

Can you pick out which jewelry and shoes I chose from these photos?

Grammy highs and lows

Grammy night was a magical night!

Troy Jensen glammed me up, giving me a fresh, glowy look. Lighter on the eye but lots of top lashes. My hair we pulled back in a sleek bun and I felt like a princess!

Monica Rose and Angela Fink styled me! I wore an Australian designer Maticevski, jewelry by Bochic and Christian Louboutin heels.

At first I had on a long black gown but thought — you know what, the Grammys are about being fun and funky — so I changed my dress last minute!

The pre-show went great, except the time the prompter went out and I was left with Jason Mraz and nothing to say! It only was a two-second pause, then we hit the interview full force! He was great and the interview went smoothly!

Everyone was scrambling around trying to figure out how to fill the time lost due to Rihanna and Chris Brown not showing up.

I am in shock Rihanna and Chris canceled on this year’s Grammy show! I was SO looking forward to seeing both of them. They were essentially going to be the prom queen and king this year!

I went to my best friend Allison’s parents’ house and watched the Grammys from there!

My favorite performance was the Swagger Like Us performance from T.I., Kanye, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, and M.I.A. I can’t believe she performed on her due date — nine-months pregnant!

All the guys looked handsome in their tuxes. It was a dope performance!

What did you guys think of this year’s Grammy Awards?

Grammy brunch

February 8, 2009 / 39 Comments

I attended a special brunch at Wolfgang’s restaurant in Beverly Hills for the House of Hype, hosted by InTouch magazine, Asics sneakers, and Diddy’s Ciroc drink on Saturday.

I caught up with Adrienne, Jermaine Dupri, and John Salley. I couldn’t stay long because I had to rush to my red-carpet rehearsal at Staples Center, so I ate yummy pancakes and headed out!

You always know that I did my hair myself when it’s slicked back in a pony tail because I really don’t know how to curl my hair that well.

I am wearing a Bebe one-shoulder ruffle top with a vintage Emanuel Ungaro skirt and Christian Louboutin heels.
