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!

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?

It’s official: Kendall is a teenager!

Kendall turns 13 today!!!

A little while back she printed out a full birthday list with pictures and descriptions with reasons why she wanted her gifts. Her main gift she wanted was the new Guitar Hero… So I made some calls and was able to get Kendall the game!

It has sooo many new songs! We played Gwen Stefani, Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi! This new Guitar Hero has 2 guitars, one for bass and one for guitar, drums, and the microphone. We were all too shy to sing! Ha! Getting the gift really made Kendall’s birthday!

Also, while we were all in Las Vegas recently, Kendall had a huge birthday shin dig! She had a red carpet-themed party and everyone had to dress up and do their pretend red carpet!

Inside they all wore Kanye West glasses and danced to America Girl all night! Doesn’t that sound like fun!?

Happy Birthday Kennie, I love you!!!
 

Hosting the ‘Teen Choice’ red carpet!

August 5, 2008 / 159 Comments

My day started off with an email from Ryan Seacrest! It read…u nailed it! good job kk. He was referring to me hosting the Teen Choice Awards red carpet for E!

The whole process moved so fast! All the stars are walking by and the interviews go by so much more quickly than expected, you want to make sure you ask the questions people want to hear but I didn’t want to be that nosy reporter asking dating questions or just uncomfortable questions, because I ultimately know the feeling when I don’t want to answer something uncomfortable!

For example I interviewed Selena Gomez. I’m sure people were curious about her so-called feud with Miley Cyrus or if she was dating Nick Jonas, but what I wanted to talk about was her 16th birthday party she just had! It was beyond the coolest party I’ve been to in a while! I swear! There was the biggest dance off ever! It was really unreal! Khloe and I brought Kendall and Kylie to that party. 

I also interviewed Jordan Sparks and told her how much I loved the song “No Air.” I even confessed Reggie and I made that our song for a while!

Jerry O’Connell was sweet as ever. He even asked the Kardashian sisters to babysit his twin girls when they are born! 

My favorite interview was with of course, my girls the Cheetah Girls! I had actually never met Kiely or Sabrina before, and obviously heard so much about them from Adrienne!

Overall the experience was fun and exciting! With it being almost 100 degrees, I somehow managed to stay cool physically and mentally throughout my hosting duties!

I also decided to change up my look! I hired an amazing stylist Jen Rade who is helping transform me! I wore a dress from Bradley Bayou and Jimmy Choo shoes, along with no fake eyelashes and hardly any make up except a darker lip!

I was loving the new look, even though it did take me a minute to adjust! I have to admit, it was work to get me to step outside my usual hair and makeup, but I am loving it! 

Do you guys ever try new looks?

Behind the scenes at the MTV Australia Awards!

The night finally came and we saw everyone from Leona Lewis (check her out right next to us in that interview! OMG!!! She is flawlessly beautiful), 50 Cent, whom Khloe has known for years! We also ran into the sweet Mischa Barton, who is always dressed extremely fashionably, and Juliette Lewis!

Khloe and I both wore Ruth Tarvydas sequin and beaded silver dresses with Jimmy Choo heels!

The last picture is of us leaving… I came to the room right after because I am sooo jet lagged. But Khloe decided to  dash off to the after party. I don’t know what time she will get in!
