Victoria Beckham On Lady Gaga

“If I’m being completely honest, is it fair to say she may have become a little bit of a parody of herself? Is that fair to say?"

Victoria Beckham on Lady Gaga

The funny thing is how two or three years ago the same could have been said about Victoria herself. But lately and especially since she launched her own sleek fashion line, I'm finding myself looking at Victoria Beckham's photos, staring at clothes like this tangerine dress (from her Spring/Summer '11 collection) and thinking: "Want!".

Jessica Simpson Wearing A Victoria Beckham Dress

And it shows.

The dresses from Victoria Beckham's line are quite nice, but many of them seem to be designed and tailored for Posh's own body type. Jessica is beautiful from her collarbone up, but her poor boobs don't seem all that happy to be squished like that. The apron thing on the lower half was not a good idea, either.

Victoria Beckham Presents: Smoky Eyes- The Next Generation?

I'm not sure this even qualifies as a smoky eye look, because Victoria Beckham has taken the idea to new and very goth levels. While I wouldn't attempt it on my face (combined with my mass of long dark hair the result would be too scary), I think Posh actually pulls it off, in her own unique and not entirely human way.

Looking at her hair, it's obvious that growing out a pixie cut is a serious pain. I went through the same thing in the 80s, so I can identify. Come to think of it, that was the last time people left the house wearing this kind of eye makeup...

And for the sake of nostalgia and perspective, here's an ad for smoky eye makeup from the April 1971 issue of Mademoiselle magazine:

A Fashion Moment With Rihanna And Friends

A note to highly impressionable teenagers everywhere: Don't try this at home. Seriously, I'm still embarrassed about an 1985 incident that included a pair of very similar Madonna-inspired gloves and a math teacher who would never be the same. But I'm referring more to the jumpsuit, which Rihanna is probably the only person in the universe who can pull it off. On 99% of us it would be ridiculously unflattering.

What I do like here is the pearls (we all have a perverted inner Jackie O., right?) and the super glam makeup. Flawless skin, black eyeliner and red lipstick- all beautiful and as red carpet worthy as it gets. The nails, however, are atrocious (click the second photo to see what I mean).



As a bonus, for all of us Party of Five nerds, here's Neve Campbell at the same event, (the London premier of Inglorious Bastards) looking as sane and adorable as if it's still 1995.



And an unrelated second bonus, Posh Beckham modeling her own creation (I like the outfit) and looking unintentionally hilarious.

Two Good Looks- Miranda Kerr and Victoria Beckham (indeed!)

This must be the first time I'm posting a photo of Victoria Beckham without the "fashion victim" tag. I really like her blouse and the outfit doesn't make her look insane. Of course, there's the hair issue, which unpleasantly reminds me of Kate Gosslin (can we stop the trend of people becoming celebs because of over-breeding?). I'd rather focus on the clothes. I think they have an almost vintage flair.



Miranda Kerr is one of the better dressed celebrities. She's always well put-together and doesn't look victimized by her stylist. This is another vintage-inspired look, and the faux-wrap dress is very pretty.

The vintage theme made me think about perfumes (I'm wearing vintage Rumeur tonight). I'd bet Posh would wear sneakers in public before she'd even consider putting on any of her atrocious drugstore fragrances, so how would you scent Victoria and Miranda in these outfits?
