Brown Sista

                                        

* So, I’ve chosen my fave looks from last week’s star-studded events. It’s obvious that I pretty much like them all, but I wanna see how you all feel.

Kerry - She was spotted last week @ an NYC fashion event, wearing a black Marchesa Resort 2009 gown, with jeweled embellishments. She was def one of the best out the bunch!
Solange - Solo looks super-cute in this belted 3.1 Phillip Lim mini-dress, and Miu Miu Dragonfly sandals. I love her hair, and she no doubt wore this better than the last few.
Ciara - Receiving Billboard Mag’s “Woman of the Year” award, Ci posed for the cameras in what I feel is an amazing business-fashionable ensemble! She wore a fitted white blazer, crisp black bustier dress, and a fab pair of Balenciaga’s Escarpin booties, straight from Balenciaga’s Fall 2008 line. She too, wore this better than her competition.

The 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards ceremony was held earlier this evening at the Boisfeuillet Jones Civic Center in Atlanta, Georgia. And as expected, the event was a testosterone filled extravaganza that only came to a crescendo when the fellas stepped aside and the ladies of hip hop were allowed to take over. Providing the night’s most unforgettable moment, MC Lyte, Salt n’ Pepa with Spinderalla, as well as Yo-Yo and Lady of Rage, took to the stage and rattled off a medley of their hits, including Cha Cha Cha, You Can’t Play With My Yo-Yo, My Mic Sounds Nice, and Push It.

Singer Estelle dominated the MOBO Awards last night taking home the award for Best UK Female and Best Song, beating out fellow Brit hit maker Leona Lewis. The MOBO Awards (Music Of Black Origin) are the British in origin, but are voted for by the public and thus reprsent general listening trends in the UK’s Black community. “The Mobo is a great award, recognised by the kids and the people who understand my music, and who get the music that we do,” Estelle told BBC news. Other winners of the evening included Leona Lewis and former Supremes singer, Mary Wilson, who was awarded The Lifetime Achievement Award and performed a medley of Supremes hits with British girl group The Sugarbabes.

The 25th Annual MTV Video Music Awards were held last night in Los Angeles, California and R n’ B divas were in full effect. Rihanna took to the stage, while Solange, Keri Hilson, D. Woods and many others showed up for the festivities. Rihanna, pictured to your right, wowed the paparazzi with her red carpet outfit, and then later wowed the VMA audience with her performance of Disturbia, and Live Your Life, which she collaborates on with rapper T.I. Rihanna didn’t take home any awards this year, but Erykah Badu’s Honey video did win for Best Video Direction. Pics from the red carpet and show can be seen on the next page, with many more added to our gallery.
