The video is pretty much it’s own fashion and beauty editorial. (You can see a glimpse of her Dazed & Confused cover)  The theme reminds of an old school amazing summer party that we wish we were invited to. If you look cloesly enough you can spot of of our fave NYC personalities as well.

*DISCLAIMER* MTV awards shows are always graded on a curve or almost everyone would be on the worst dressed list. Some of the best here (As and Bs) could have potentially been Cs at the Grammys.

Let’s begin with the best, as there were only a handful of of ladies who came to work.

Selena Gomez in Julien MacDonald Fall 2011 – Congratulations Selena, for wearing a mullet dress I actually like, actually love in fact. One of our favorite teen style stars, Selena’s dark side came to the surface in this Gothic number by Julien MacDonald. The gold accessories lightened things up in the perfect way.

- Cindy Crawford, much like a fine wine or a cheap fling, just gets better with time in Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. [Image Amplified]

Let’s see, we have:

- Michael Kors celebrating his three decades at Bergdorf Goodman, along with live performances and their “BG Best in Show,” featuring designers such as Joseph Altuzarra, Reem Acra and Pamella Roland trotting down the runway with their dogs

- Live performances from Kelly Rowland and Joss Stone at Macy’s Herald Square, with appearances by Tommy Hilfiger, Rachel Roy and Amar’e Stoudemire

- Rachel Zoe and Erin Wasson will show face at Bloomingdale’s

- Jade Jagger will launch her new jewelry line at Henri Bendel’s

- Lord & Taylor will have Solange Knowles on the turntables and an appearance by Ivanka Trump

- Saks Fifth Ave will feature appearances by the inimitable Tilda Swinton with Pringle of Scotland designer Alistair Carr and Central Saint Martins professor/Kanye West mentor Louise Wilson, while Ne-Yo performs and signs hats

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of  events listed on FNO’s website and you can filter through all of them by neighborhood, category or specialty. FNO also has an iPhone/Android app to help you plan your itinerary on the go thus ensuring this year you can make as many regrettable, booze-induced purchases as possible. [WWD]

Backstage after the show I got to meet Max Azria, I nearly died. I gushed to him how stunning the show was noted the square theme. I asked the only question I had time to squeeze out before he was whisked away: How does he think a woman wants to dress, the core philosophy that fuels BCBG:

“Women ultimately want to look cool. They want to look classy, and yes, chic.” – Max Azria

Simple as that. And he certainly knows how to oblige.

I really like Dolce & Gabbanna, Camilla and Marc, Jay Godfrey, etc. I’ll wear anything as long as it looks good!

Gal pal Kim Kardashian was in attendance of course…

She went back to her roots and pulled out an Herve Leger dress, but I’m actually not mad at the dress choice.  It hugs all her curves, yes, but I like the color against her skin, and it shows that she doesn’t want all eyes on her.  Louboutin’s and a silver clutch complete the look.

DJ Clue also came through.  Wonder if he DJ’ed the reception…

Hmm… One thing he should’ve done was stamp that suit “return to sender”.  More than two buttons on a blazer is over.  Second, the fit is beyond awful.  The hat is completely unnecessary.  And the shoes just kill me softly.  They’re square-toed for one, and they don’t even look polished.  Come on Clue!  We know you can do better than this.

Kelly Rowland made her way to see her girl take the plunge…

I like the way to dress fits on her, but I would’ve loved it in peach since this is a summer wedding.  But hmm…what’s with the tote?  Gonna sneak some rolls out at the reception?  And I’m not really fond of her leopard print YSL Trib Too’s.  A simple color would’ve looked better.

Tennis superstar Serena Williams was also in attendance…

Serena has been acing them with her style game lately.  I loved this dress on her, and she would’ve gotten props.  But I scrolled down to discover a wayward hemline.  Hmm…if there’s one thing that can ruin a beautiful dress, it’s definitely an unfinished hem.  Black peep-toe d’Orsay heels complete the look.

106th & Park host Rocsi also made an appearance at the nuptials…

…and it looks like she wore “the backup dress.”  The “backup dress” is the dress you wear when the dress you had originally planned to wear suffered some unfortunate mishap.  At least that’s what I’m hoping happened here.  The sequined top pretty much cheapens the dress for me.  A white blazer would’ve saved this ensemble tremendously, but I guess we can’t have it all.  However, I love the subtle bling and her nude peep-toes.

Ciara, and those legs, came through as well…

…donning an entire Versace spring ensemble.  I do love the dress and the shoes.  But I can’t help but think the length of the dress is just a little inappropriate for a wedding.  That minor discrepancy aside, Ciara looks hot.

And last, but not least, Trina…

I love the dress and the Louboutin’s, but the dress is just a little too dramatic for a wedding for me.  Hmm… now if this were a Gaga themed funeral, then this would be the go-to frock.  A for effort though.

Since it’s freezing in Boston today, I decided to do some posts in front of the TV today. I decided to watch Bravo’s The Fashion Show for the first time ever today, which is what has spawned this post of confusion. Why in the hell is Kelly Rowland the host? What fashion credibility does she even have, because we have all seen the camo laden “Survivor” video. I think this really takes away from the legitimacy of the show a lot.

What do you think indies, with all the fashion people who would clearly love to be a part of this show, Why would they chose Kelly Rowland?
