Do We Love It?: Kerry Washington's Look

Jul 02 | by Natasha

Kerry Washington was spotted on her way to the Dior Haute Couture show in Paris this week:

And she was decked out in Armani Prive (as she had just left that show). Very bold and daring look for any celeb. And again, we're riding the fine line between high fashion and just tacky. So...

DO WE LOVE IT?!

I don't want to have to "take

I don't want to have to "take a course" on matching my skirt and shirt up, using a bunch of maniacal, LEARNED, techniques. That's what "my" brain and eyes are for. If I had to have a "high-end" fashion designer tell me what goes with what, in my life, I'd throw in the towel being me, altogether. I don't mind looking at fashion but when it comes to making the final decision of what I want and like to wear, there's a line in the sand. With all that said, this shit is ugly and I wouldn't wear it to a clown college on graduation day! Things are getting crazy 'round here. Peace and hairgrease!

You are friggin' amazing for giving it to that 'Vogue' zombie! Some people know NOTHING about Fashion but for magazines and TV, yet they feel they can open their mouths. Chick that even runs this blog is a novice in what is stylish and what's not. Too much ghetto-icity on this blog. *smh*

I think its the way articles

I think its the way articles are presented on a runway or in high fashion magazine. I don't think it translates into ready to wear in the real world. In essence, I think its a mess. She's gorgeous, though.

Oh please! That's a mess

Oh please! That's a mess right there,and why does her mouth always looks like she just ate powdered doughnuts? Light pink lipstick does not look good on darker skin women,she should be using warmer tones on her lips. Leave that frosted lipstick for those white chicks with blonde hair and fake tans.

Either Kerry or her employee

Either Kerry or her employee does a damn fine job for her! Better yet both know what the art is in dressing up. If her employee does that job, Kerry appreciates her talent. and talke about her makeup jobs too. YES I LOVE IT!!! Keep HER FAB!

[quote comment="132172"]Kerry

[quote comment="132172"]Kerry Washington is fabulous, and she has mad style. I think the look works for her at this particular event because she attended an Armani Prive show and she is wearing that designer. Armani Prive is couture and she is wearing the couture fashion; so it works. This is not something that she could pull off at a movie premiere, or an Oscar red carpet put for the Armani Prive Couture runway show?....Yes She Can!!![/quote] I have to agree...She is fab. and this is high fashion. The style reminds me of the clothes the rich would wear during the French Revolution.I watched a movie about Marie Antoinette and the royalty was not playing when it came to their fashion. Big Ups to Kerry for staying fashion forward with a retro twist.

[quote comment="132189"]What

[quote comment="132189"]What Kerry is wearing represents the very essence of what high fashion is all about. Coordinating aka matching is sooooo passe and can really make you look dated not to mention boring. The art of mixing texture and color has a very unique appeal that can be appreciated by those with a sophisticated pallette.[/quote] no way this is "high fashion".if it wasnt on a celebrity, dat phrase wouldnt even come to mind!.i luv me some kerry but ds is plain tacky....d 2 pieces are nice...but 2gether, hell no!

Whats tacky about this outfit? Herve Leger is tacky, forever21 is TACKY!! But this is beautiful, she was dressed for a fashion show, where the designer usually dresses you if you're a celebrity. Kerry looks beautiful.

Please go pick up WWD or Vogue even!![/quote] Silly, that is ready to wear.Why?Because 1 it is not that extravagant as a counterpart, 2 because couture can take months to make-dresses to whatever.I went to Marangoni and we study under big European Fashion Designers.I know exactly what ready to wear and what couture is and there is a difference instead of just adding it to a wack ass fashion line to make it sound cute.I studied the art of "couture," now go find that in Vogue magazine.[/quote] you fashion girls kill me, lol...it would be funny if you both studied at the same place...since i don't study fashion i'll just take both your words for it!

[quote comment="132152"]Maybe she confused herself with Sarah Jessica Parker? If not, I'm not quite sure what's going on. I mean, she has on 3 fab pieces (skirt, top, shoes), but just not all at the same time.[/quote] and thank you for mentioning SJP/Carrie Bradshaw b/c everything she wore on that show wasn't "hot" or even wearable even in soho or the village or where ever they lived. now SJP on the red carept is almost always a "hit" but Carried definitely had "misses" that people often over looked. The SATC stylist is the bomb though-and SJP was smart to marry her off camera image w/high styling...styling's done wonders for Rihanna too.
