New Year's Eve Fashion Wrap
New Years Eve is the one night of the year where you can wear a dress that looks like a disco ball and stripper heels and it's totally okay. The celebs were out and about at their various NYE bashes and some were dressed to impress, while others, well, they had clothes on and I'll leave it at that. Here's the best and worst dresses from New Years Eve.

Fergie: Fergie hosted the NYE fete at 1 OAK nightclub in Las Vegas and for the occasion she wore a metal tube dress and Gio Diev sandals. She looked great! Her dress was literally a work of art, and while it looked like the most uncomfortable creation she wore it with ease. Also, she can probably recycle the party dress as a table centerpiece or hook it up to make a water fountain!

Biggest Fashion Disasters of 2011
2011 has been a big year for fashion. There was Natalie Portman’s pretty purple pregnancy muumuu, Beyonce’s sequined VMA birth announcement outfit, and of course, Jessica Alba’s chic mommy street wear.

Come to think of it, 2011 has been a big year for pregnancies, too. Either way, wherever there’s good fashion, you can bet there’s bad fashion, too. And here are the ten biggest fashion disasters of 2011.

Helena Bonham-Carter, Golden Globes: Well, no surprise that Helena made this list, she lives for standing out from the red carpet crowd. And if that means she’s gotta wear two different colored shoes, then dammit, that’s what she’s gonna do. That’s called commitment.

Beyonce's Pregnancy Style: Love It or Hate It?
For some pregnant women, having a baby is an excuse to wear overalls for the next 9 months. However, when you are are famous, that's NOT an option. You must rock stilettos, you must dress as if you don't have a watermelon growing underneath that sequined wrap dress, and you must carry an even larger handbag - to make your weird body proportions make sense, of course.  

Beyonce began her pregnancy fashion in an orange Lanvin gown when she walked the red carpet at the 2011 VMA's and announced she was pregnant by cupping her belly. The dress was long and flowy and hid her belly, so we can hardly call it pregnancy style - this was just the start. 
Jennifer Lopez's 2011 Style Evolution
Jennifer Lopez has truly made a comeback in 2011. After appearing as a judge on American Idol, the singer has been on-the-rise. Not even a very public divorce can keep her down. She lost a Marc Anthony but gained a Casper Smart, she's making sexy music with everyone from Will.i.am to Pitbull, and is pimping out Fiat cars like her life depends on it.

It's clear J.Lo made a huge career comeback and she looked fabulous doing it.

She started the year as a new judge on American Idol and I need to get this one weird outfit out of the way.
Project Runway's Nina Garcia: Crocs are NOT Okay
If Crocs aren’t okay, Crocs with socks are blasphemy.

Nina Garcia, the Marie Claire fashion director and Project Runway judge has confirmed what all of us have always thought: You don’t wear crocs.

“No one over the age of 10 should buy Crocs — unless you are Mario Batali,” Garcia said.

And I’m pretty sure she’s just letting him slide because she wants to get into Osteria Mozza.

Now that she fancies herself a fashion expert, Kelly Osbourne can no longer make blunders like this and get away with it. That’s why the E! star decided to call herself out for walking the red carpet with armpit sweat.

“:( pulled a fashion no no last night I had sweat marks because there we heat lamps on the red carpet! #eww”

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Kelly. You’ve come a long way from that bowl haircut and those scary raccoon eyes.

Osbourne stepped out wearing a chic, form-fitting dress to the launch of E! Entertainment in Munich, Germany. She matched her red Jexica dress with red lipstick and black silver-toed pumps. And she channeled Marilyn Monroe with her cropped blonde locks. So all in all, she looked great, pit stains or not.
Lea Michele's Red Carpet Dress is Actually a Shirt

So basically, this means she showed up pants-less. Now that takes guts.

Lea Michele walked the premiere of the new TV series, American Horror Story, Monday night in Los Angeles. She wore what she was passing off as a super short, navy blue lace dress. It looked like it didn’t fit or it was a kid’s size or she was wearing it backwards...something was definitely off. Well it turns out, that’s because it was a shirt. The "dress" was actually a top by ASOS and retails for $52.38. I totally dig celebrities becoming recessionistas, but come on, Lea. Splurge on some pants.

Lea also wore a loose braid and black Brian Atwood booties. And while she looked leggy, there was no denying something was missing from the outfit. Maybe it could’ve worked somewhere else, it just wasn’t right for a TV show premiere. Unless that show was Jersey Shore.
How to Re-Wear Old Clothes: The Seven Year Rule
You know those amazing pointy suede Gucci pumps you have in your closet that you bought 3 years ago on sale? You’ve been wondering if it’s ok to dust them off and wear them again, but you’re not sure if they’re a few seasons old or if they qualify as vintage yet.

Okay, so I’m talking about myself. I really did buy a pair of Gucci suede pumps on sale for $200 (which is unheard of!) down from $795. They’re a little outdated now, so how long do I wait before I can proudly call them “vintage Gucci’s” and wear them again? Apparently the golden rule is: wait 7 years. Gives new meaning to the seven year itch, huh?

Apparently Christina Ricci had a similar dilemma lately. She says she loves to keep old clothing, but is unsure when she can re-wear it without looking outdated.
Kate Middleton Obsessed With Blue
Kate Middleton sure loves her blues!

Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton boarded a private jet from London’s Heathrow airport and headed to Canada where they will kick off their North American tour.

Kate wore a blue suit as she boarded the private jet. I sound like a broken record at this point when it comes to Kate’s fashion choices.
Beyonce Shows Off Booty During Glastonbury Performance
In case you were wondering, Beyonce is still bootylicious. She performed during Sunday night’s Glastonbury Music Festival in England, putting on a show that had a level of energy almost as high as her skirt’s hemline.

Beyonce performed in a reallllllly short Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2010 mini dress She rocked the sequined gold dress with a skimpy black leotard that showed off her best assets—aside from her voice, of course.
