agreed

I also think the dress would look a million times better if it was a solid black and not whatever tiny print it is

I just got this Tadashi dress from Saks with a nice discount coupon and it is very flattering on for curvy gals.

Also got this cape style jacket in red and in black it was so fly (and I had a coupon) from Newport-News.com The quality is very nice and it is such a stylish diva jacket at a great price.

Thought I would share. Just don't show up at any events I am at in the DC area in the same thing

oo those are really pretty pieces, especially the jacket. I have a longer black version of that from Banana that I bought last year that I really love.

Needs to be more definitely empire/princess line at least, as well as the aforementioned better bra. This does not look like event dressing at all - and it has a real maternity look to the front pleating as well. She needs a narrower shoulder strap.

I really like the greys anatomy womans dress. It fits well and flatters her. The only thing I would change is the length, I think it's cutting her off and making her look short.

Jordin Sparks. Some other blogs are jumping her for this, but keep in mind that she's the child of a very religious and protective family that will not let her tart it up:



Queen Latifah:

The Tadashi is very nice. The label sually turns up at Salon Z (Saks' plus store) and Off Fifth, along with Chetta B., Carmen Marc Valvo and Sunny Choi for eveningwear.

I can't see what the problem is with that dress ... what are they criticizing? Are they just being catty? She looks great ... and no mistaking her for a Pentacostal (as I used to be when my family got done signing off on my look ).

I suspect the commenters aren't used to a larger woman in media and felt that perhaps, she needed a bit of color and sizzle. I like the dress myself, and if I were a mother of a teen like Jordin, I'd approve.

You're probably right. They would probably say the dress is a little mature and staid for a teen. I don't know her or her personality, but from the body language here I'm guessing something a little more playful would've suited her. But I think she looks fine.

I really like Nikki Blonsky here

justjared

she is very short, and i like the way she played with proportion.

I've been on vacation so have't had a chance to visit tFS for a while. I love all the new pictures. Thanks to all who posted. I think Jennifer, Jordan, Queen Latifah and Nikki blonsky all look great.

I always marvel at how well turned out QL consistenly is. In a sea of clothing how she managed to find such a perfect dress is beyond me. If she has a stylist that person must be very sharp. Her outfit is simply but very well accessorized too.

Queen is always on point in her public appearances. At one time, she was using a stylist named Susan Moses. I am not sure if Ms. Moses is still styling Latifah.

With Jenn, I've seen her done by ALT and Jessica Paster. Her ALT styling is hit and miss, but I think her JP stuff is well done.

Nicole Blonsky looks nice, and she's got the challenge of being 4'11," so she has to find things to work for her proportions.

And I just love Jordin. For the most part, she's age appropriate and not tarted up, as befits her upbringing.

She is, from what I heard recently.
