Style Spotlight: Keisha Whitaker

An obvious style icon in the making, Keisha Whitaker has proved over-and-over again that she has the elegance and impeccable fashion-sense to become a red carpet favorite. I’m not the only one who agrees, Keisha is currently the face of Maven Cosmetics making her a member of the elite group of black models with cosmetic deals. If you look at photos of Keisha from the 90s, you’ll agree that she’s come a long way (though truth be told the 90s weren’t too kind to any of us!) I’m still mad about this dress - it looks like the vine is trying to attack her, however Keisha Whitaker is still someone I look forward to seeing at every event. The best is yet to come...

623 seamstresses beaten and whipped, 537 stylists cursed, 469 shoes re-dyed, 313 nails chiseled and 165 curling irons burnt-out and it was, for the most part, worth it. Many will debate the necessity of Ms. Hudson’s gold jacket but if nothing else, she’s been reading this blog (see below!) No one dress blew me away but I loved the way Oprah, Anika Noni Rose, Beyonce and Penelope Cruz looked.

Jada’s dress was disappointing. I’m not too sure what the bodice was all about. Keisha Whitaker's dress was ugly to me in the back with the roses but she still worked it and can someone explain to me who Shaun Robinson and Tanika Ray are?! Seriously, I see them all the time and I have no idea what they do.

Lasty, the men were sharp in their tuxes, bar Quincy. Wasn't Jaden so cute presenting an Oscar? I’m mad that Djimon didn’t win but at least he looked yummy. Don’t worry Djimon, you can always come cry on my shoulder!
