Met Gala: Lend, Buy or Burn! Fashion Game

Lend, Buy or Burn!

Let’s play “Lend, Buy or Burn!” Fashion Game with last night’s red hot Red Carpet looks at the Met Gala. The party’s theme: ‘Punk: Chaos to Couture’ inspired a bevy of style stars, from models to designers to Hollywood’s A-list to dress up in plenty of studding, black leather and perhaps a few mohawks.

Beyoncé, who served as the event’s honorary chair, arrived wearing a gown by Givenchy, the designer of the evening. But not just any Tisci gown would do. The strapless show-stopper featured elbow-length gloves, a lengthy orange train, grommet belt and matching thigh-high boots. “It’s all about the boots,” Beyoncé said.

Beyoncé confessed she was wearing a super-tight corset — so tight, in fact, that “I’m going to need scissors to cut the string.”

The night’s three wildest looks include Nina Dobrev in Monique Lhuillier, Beyonce in Givenchy and Katy Perry in Dolce & Gabbana for this Lend, Buy or Burn! Fashion Game. To play, you must decide:

1. Which dress you would LEND to a friend
2. Which dress you would BUY for yourself
3. Which dress you would BURN with a match?!

Whether you look your best, or you look like a mess on the Red Carpet – we think you’re a still a ‘winner’ for going after your dreams.

Anne Hathaway Goes ‘Blondie’ for Met Gala

Divabetic

Oscar winning actress, Anne Hathaway stole the show when she bleached her blonde  and arrived with Valentino wearing a sexy black gown from the designer’s 1992 archives for the Met Gala last night.

Her playful pixie cut looked piecey and edgy  giving off a fierce vibe that corresponded perfectly with the PUNK theme, but we still can’t get over the shocking change in hair color.

Her dramatically lightened locks added exceptional interest to her gorgeous features, with major emphasis given to her smoky eye makeup.

“I don’t know if you can tell by looking at me but Debbie Harry was kind of an inspiration,” Hathaway said on the red carpet.

The 2013 Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art – better known as the Met Gala — is took place in New York last night. The theme of this year’s ball is “PUNK: Chaos To Couture.”

Beyonce was an honorary chair of the event for the annuel fête, which formally kicks off the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s yearly Costume Institute exhibit, always brings in a bevy of style stars, from models to designers to Hollywood’s A-list.

On the Red Carpe we spotted  plenty of studding, black leather and perhaps a few mohawks.

Kelly Osbourne’s Diet Secrets

“Once I learned how to work out right and eat right, it’s one of those things that you just have to commit to a life change rather than being on a diet. Because a diet doesn’t work. You lose weight and you stop it and it will all come back. So you just have to take baby steps, commit to something and stay true to it,” said Fashion Police star, Kelly Osbourne.

The 28-year-old, who recently referred to herself as a “former fat person,” chatted with HuffPost Celebrity about her 70 pound weight loss program.

So, how does she maintain her incredible shape?

“And everything has to be in moderation and to find that place is easier said than done. It really is,” she continued. “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh it’s all about moderation!’ I’m like, well what are you going to do with a plate of french fries in front of you, moderate? No. You’re going to eat every single one of them!”

Speaking of french fries, Osbourne says she indulges in whatever “cheat meals” she wants, admitting that she never feels guilty about satisfying a craving.

“I always cheat,” she laughed, adding, “Pizza, I have to say …”

Osbourne recently confessed to Self magazine that she even finds herself chowing down on pizza in the morning. “I eat my fattiest meal in the a.m,” she revealed in the May issue. “If I’m craving pizza, I’ll have it for breakfast, salad for lunch, and oatmeal for dinner.”

Kim Kardashian’s Sexy Look at MTV Movie Awards

Kim Kardashian

Some of MTV’s freshest faces along some serious A-lister’s arrived at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards ready for a party. Host Rebel Wilson made sure to keep the crowd laughing with hilarious movie spoofs and a few shocking musical numbers.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian looked gorgeous in all black. The mother-to-be has received her fair share of criticism for her maternity wardrobe choices, but we think the reality star may have redeemed herself in the style department at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.

The 32-year-old stepped onto the red carpet in a black LBD, complete with voluminous sleeves and a gold tassel necklace. It was a classic post-Kanye Kim look: black, tight and just a little high fashion. But tonight’s ensemble is different. Kim looks confident, sexy and fresh!

Tune in to Divabetic’s Diabetes Roundtable’s Mother Day Special on Tuesday, May  14, 2013, 6 -7 PM, to hear Image & Style Advisor, Catherine Schuller’s opinions on Kim’s various maternity looks.

Lisa Rinna’s Lip Trouble

Divabetic

It’s hard to think about Lisa Rinna without conjuring images of those infamous lips.

While sitting in for April’s Divabetic’s Diva Inpsiration,  Kathie Lee Gifford on “Today” , Lisa was taken by surprise when co-host Hoda Kotb interrupted the “Celebrity Apprentice” star and said, “Wait, can I ask about your lips?” Of course, this is a topic the 49-year-old has gotten used to talking about over and over again, but she kindly rehashed the issue for Hoda:

“Here’s the story: 25 years ago, I had my lips injected with silicone. Stupid thing to do at 24. I saw ‘Beaches.’ Remember that movie ‘Beaches’? I did it with my best girlfriend, so she and I go and we get our lips done. Fine. I have it like that for my whole career, right? So then cut to a couple of years ago, I have a doctor remove as much as they possibly can because it got to the point where they were yucky. You know, they get hard. It’s gross. They are now whatever that was after they took out as much of the silicone as they could.”

The self-proclaimed lip injection “pioneer” goes on to tell Hoda that she wouldn’t change a thing about her plastic surgery past. “I never had a career before I had the lips,” she says. “So my lips have had their own career.”

Macy’s Unveils Marilyn Monroe Collection

Divabetic

Are discounts are girl’s best friend?

We may soon find out because Macy’s,partnering with LF USA and Authentic Brands Group, has just launched an apparel collection that adds a modern twist to the style of  Marilyn Monroe.

The Marilyn Monroe line, featured in the windows of Macy’s flagship store in New York, is available at most Macy’s and online at macys.com. The line’s advertising campaign will feature iconic images of the legendary starlet alongside new clothing.

I passed by the windows yesterday and saw the collection. I  think the Marilyn Monroe-inspired clothes looks AMAZING! The clothes look fresh and feminine. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?

“We are thrilled to partner with the retail experts at Macy’s to bring to life one of the things Marilyn loved most – fashion,” Nick Woodhouse, president & CMO of Authentic Brands Group, said in a statement. “As one of the world’s most famous style icons, it only made sense to create a Marilyn Monroe apparel collection that represents the glamour and beauty that she is known for.”

In addition to clothing featuring silhouettes similar to Monroe’s wardrobe, the collection will also feature two cropped T-shirts with classic photos of the actress.

“Marilyn Monroe’s appeal is legendary and Macy’s is excited to launch a collection that draws inspiration from her timeless style,” Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement. “This new line takes her unique sensibility, noteworthy silhouettes and colors of the time, and reinvents them for a modern-day Marilyn Monroe that is fun-loving, flirty and not afraid to play with fashion.”

The collection will retail from $29 to $89.

Jessica Simpson Takes A Walk On The Wild Side

Jessica Simpson and her growing baby bump made an purr-fect appearance on the L.A. set of a commercial shoot dressed to impress in a skintight leopard-print dress, which is her own design on sale at Dillard’s.

Jessica Simpson’s maternity collection is now in over 800 maternity stores (Destination Maternity, Motherhood Maternity, and Macy’s) with a new flirty, flowy Spring style. She has dresses, pants, shirts — all perfect for mixing, matching, and layering (at all stages of your pregnancy).

The Fashion Star mentor, 32, looked fierce and fabulous in sky-high black pumps and a black cardigan barely covering her pregnancy curves.

On hand to offer Simpson some moral support was fiance Eric Johnson and their 10-month-old daughter Maxwell, who made a little fashion statement of her own with a tiny pink bow in her hair.

This isn’t the first time Simpson has taken a walk on the wild side, however. The second-time mom-to-be also donned a leopard-print dress when she was pregnant with little Maxwell back in December 2011.

Nicki Minaj Fires Her Beauty Squad

Divabetic

Do you like Nicki Minaj‘s over-the-top look? Turns out, the Lady Gaga of Rap herself isn’t even a fan.

The “Pink Friday” singer has fired her stylist, hairstylist and makeup artist, The Sun reports. Let’s just say she gave them the ‘pink’ slip. Her reason?

“Nicki is desperate to be taken seriously as an artist,” a source told the UK tabloid. “She’s fired her long-standing hairdresser who has been responsible for some of her crazy hairstyles over the years. She’s also fired her stylist. Nicki feels that now she’s done with ‘American Idol’ she can finally be taken seriously and release a proper hip-hop album.”

I don’t buy it. I think Nicki Minaj loves her crazy wigs and style. I’m sure the real reason will emerge shortly.
