Best Dressed Celebrities

Peplum! It's been all the rage lately, so you better believe the celeb ladies were wearing it at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards (and the 2014 People's Choice Awards)! Who wore it best on the Golden Globes red carpet? Leslie, Mann, of course! She wore the trend with such style and grace in a beautiful black lace gown alongside Judd Apatow.

A black peplum gown is a classic look that's perfect for so many formal events. Not only that, but peplum is one of the most figure-flattering looks you can wear, especially when paired with the color black. Since the peplum look instantly gives you an hourglass figure, it's an easy way to show off those girly curves. We definitely recommend this style for any semi-formal or formal event, or even in your every-day wear or a night out with the girls because of how figure-flattering the style is.

The 2014 Golden Globe Awards were held this past weekend, and with comedians Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as the hosts, it couldn't have been any more fun to watch! This was the 71st Annual Golden Globes, which celebrates the best in TV and film over the past year. You can read about all of the winners on the Awards page of the Golden Globes website, but just to list our favorite win of the night: Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture - Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle!

Now, to the good stuff: the red carpet fashion, of course! From our favorite winner of the night, Jennifer Lawrence's white gown, to Leslie Mann's lace peplum dress, to Kaley Cuoco's elegant floral gown, there were so many gorgeous looks worn last night. And, with the Prom 2014 Season just around the corner, you better believe that we were looking at these dresses with a keen prom eye! So, with prom specifically in mind, there were two looks that we had Continue reading →

So many new prom dresses have been coming in for the Prom 2014 season, and one of our newest favorites is Sherri Hill style 11068. We're not loving the look just because it's a perfect way to wear the two-piece trend, though. We also love it because actress Bella Thorne models Sherri Hill 11068, and looks so beautiful doing it! After all, the Bella Thorne Sherri Hill match-up is always one that we love here at Rissy Roo's.

Because we love the way that Bella looks in this dress so much, it is our Dress of the Week for this week! This brilliantly designed evening gown from Sherri Hill is a great way to wow the crowd. The beaded high neck sleeveless top will turn heads, finishing the look off with a long slim skirt with a beaded waist. It's a great way to wear the sexy two-piece prom dress look without showing off too much skin. It's also such a classic look that it can be worn to so many different types of formal events, not just prom. Other than prom, we especially love this look for a holiday party or a wedding!

Style 11068 isn't the only Sherri Hill dress that we're loving for this coming Prom season, though. The dress designer has come out with so many new stunning styles for Prom 2014 that it's almost impossible to pick a favorite! We always love Sherri Hill dresses, but this season's looks seem to be better than ever. From two-piece looks like Bella wore, to pretty floral designs, elegant lace, and soft tulle, there's so many unique and gorgeous looks to choose from. And, of course, Bella isn't the only celebrity wearing the dresses, either - if you haven't heard yet, Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson has her very own line this year called Sadie Robertson Live Original! We hope that you love the Sherri Hill Spring 2014 dresses as much as we do!

Just because a clothing item is trendy or expensive does not always mean it looks good. You've probably heard it time and time again - "dress according to your body type." Well, it's the truth! 

To figure out how to best dress for your body time, it's always helpful to take a cue from celebrities. Let's take Kim Kardashian for example. This girl has every top designer at her fingertips, yet she is a repeat offender of wearing unflattering, tight, clothing. Don't get us wrong, we love Kim K. and her curves! She definitely has impeccable taste, and when she gets it right she looks stunning.

However, one thing Kim seems to forget is that dressing for your body type is major. You do not want to end up with camel toe, a wardrobe malfunction or swollen feet. It's very important to keep your look classy and sexy and show off those curves in style. You can see Kim at her best looking classy in cocktail dresses above, and her forgetting the meaning of fashion in the images of her swollen and peplum outfit below.

With that said, one celeb that always gets it right and is a personal favorite of ours at Rissy Roo's is Beyonce. Why? Because she is always polished and looking amazing, no matter where she is heading!

Just like Beyonce (and sometimes Kim K), when picking out that PERFECT outfit, whether it be a shirt, jeans, dress, or shoes, take into account YOUR body type. There are many different body types, so it's most important to figure out exactly what your body type is and read up on the best and most flattering ways to dress for it.

For example, women with the hourglass body tend to wear form-fitting clothes. This can look amazing (and who doesn't want to show off their curves?!), but ladies, we need to leave a little to the imagination, as well! There is a fine line between classy and trashy - especially when it comes to showing off those curves. This tends to be where Kim K. falls short when dressing up - she wears clothes that show off her hourglass figure, but aren't necessarily figure flattering. Marilyn Monroe said it many years ago, and her thoughts still hold true today: "Your clothes should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to show you're a lady."

But, there are some rules that hold true for all body types! I have found that NO MATTER what body shape you have, making your legs look longer is most often very flattering. Depending on your height, you can easily alter the way your legs look by choosing dresses and skirts that fall at certain lengths on your thighs. You can also pick shirt lengths to help lengthen your torso, and certain pants styles that can help give you a figure-flattering look, all depending on the type of legs you have.

One rule to always keep in mind: no matter what you're wearing, make sure that you're comfortable with your look! Confidence is key to looking your best, and comfort is one important way to make sure that your confidence is high! And, always remember: beauty comes in many shapes and sizes!

We were GLUED to our seats last night during the finale of The Voice. Every contestant was amazing; which made it extremely difficult to predict who the winner would be!

But then, the beautiful, Tessanne Chin, who is on team Adam Levine, sung her heart out and stole the crown! And a kiss from Adam! What a lucky lady. We may have been a little jealous of the kiss Adam laid on the the upcoming starlet but the thing we were envying most is the HOT Jovani dress Tessanne was rocking! Between Jacquie Lee wearing Sherri Hill on The Voice a few weeks ago, and Tessanne in Jovani this week, it has officially turned into our favorite season of The Voice!

Doesn't she look gorgeous? She's wearing Jovani style 6433, and it accentuates Tessanne's body perfectly! Jovani 6433 is a fitted, black, plunging neckline, sleeveless gown with trendy silver detailing. If you're daring and love taking fashion risks, this dress would be perfect for your special event!

This particular finale of The Voice was dubbed "the biggest finale ever" because it featured performances from the likes of Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, and One Republic! Although we LOVE all of the performers that played, we can't help but think that this was the biggest finale ever due to Tessanne's Jovani dress! We couldn't keep our eyes off it all night long and it even caught our attention more than CeeLo Green's flashy outfit! (And, Adam Levine's beautiful face.)

Another reason why we love the dress so much? Because Jovani doesn't only make the look in a floor-length gown, but they also created it in a short cocktail dress! The short dress is Jovani style 2963, and is definitely a perfect pick to rock the style for the holidays! It especially makes for a totally glam rock NYE look.

 

Congrats to Tessanne Chin & Adam Levine for making a great team and winning this season of The Voice!

Jovani style 7757 has officially turned into the Celebrity Dress of the Year! Just last year we were showing off now Joanna Krupa and Paris Hilton were rocking the dress, and now so many more celebrities have showed off the sexy number. It's a beautiful sheer long sleeve dress, with fully embellished stones through out the bodice and sexy sheer cutouts, so could you really blame so many celebs for wanting to wear it?? Priyanka Chopra, Katy Perry, and Kelly Kelly are the newest celebs to wear the sparkly cocktail dress, and they do it so well!

 Actress and singer Priyanka Chopra is an icon in the making, already having become one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses and one of the most popular celebrities in India. So, it's no surprised to see her dressed up in one of the most iconic dress designers around, Jovani! Priyanka shows off Jovani 7757 in style in her latest video, "Exotic," featuring artist Pit Bull. We loved how her tan skin tone matched so perfectly match with the sheer dress - she definitely looked, "hotter than the tropics!"

 Singer Katy Perry wore this stunning dress to the MTV Movie Awards. Katy's known for her daring style, so it's no surprise to us that she'd rock this sheer cut-out dress, and even take it up a notch by matching it with bright blue hair and neon yellow nails!

As a WWE Diva, Kelly Kelly definitely has a body to be proud of and show off, and what better way than to do it in Jovani 7757?! She wore it to an event she attended in Hollowood, and looked so glam! We loved how she paired it with gold heels, which was the perfect match to her golden blonde locks.

 With NYE right around the corner, this dress definitely couldn't be any more perfect to wear to a New Year's Eve party! It's a perfect way to keep all eyes on you as you celebrate and bring in the new year.
