Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Do We Love It?

    Do We Love It?

    Kelis at First Sunday premiere 

    Kelis at First Sunday premiere

    Now y’all know I usually loves me some KeKe, but this look she was rocking at the First Sunday premiere last night–definitely up for discussion.  These high waisted pants aren’t stylish–they’re momish.  And the mushroom bob with the church socks and baby blue beaded platform loafers?  What’s a girl to do.  Do we love it?

      You know what? If you take away the leather jacket, lower the waist on the jeans a smidge and give her a bold, solid color bag in that same size, she would look rather fly. However, I will admit, that I want everything she has on, but not wearing them at the same time. I still think she is one stylish chick!

      That’s a negative! She is usually hot, so I guess she can have one bad day.

      There is absolutely nothing wrong with her outfit…If you think about it Kelis is known for wearing different and unique things…I think it works for here….You don’t have to have weave all down your back and have you tits out to look fabulous…I think she look GREAT…Umm Minus that purse…lol

      Calling those jeans “momish” is an insult to moms. I am a mom and would NEVER wear those jeans and neither would the moms (maybe the ones I work with) I know.

      No, I don’t love it but its okay FOR KELIS. I would rock those jeans but with different shoes and a different top. Her hair is okay and her makeup is cute and simple…I like the natural face. She should have worn bigger earrings. But Kelis’s style is a weird style. So, yea I think it looks good for her.

      If the jeans weren’t ACID WASH, it’d be an okay look. Maybe if they were a darker color or something… The color of the shoes and the jeans are the same/similar and it’s missing something here. The fact that they’re highwaisted isn’t an issue for me…just the color, more than anything. :)

      I think the look is very hot, laid back, and school girlish. The loafers with the heel are hot (the color and they’re probably Ferragamo or Gucci because of the buckle). The jeans are okay, but everything is GOOD!

      I think high waisted pant/denim is fine depending on what you wear it with..I see many-o-outfits that make it because it is well put together…I agree high waisted is usually an old school soccer mom item however I think they accentuate figures that include small waists and maybe a larger bottom…now of course that only applies if the actual leg is a straight pant leg…otherwise the high waited “skinny jean” look a tad awkward on those I have seen wear them…Kelis does look a lil’ homely there…I don’t know…not awful…just not quite all there…I’m sure if somethin was done differently (hair, that hideous collar) it wouldn’t be as questionable

      Her skin looks GREAT! The outfit needs some work, and the hair works with the outfit for some reason…overall she gets a 6 1/2 (for having flawless skin) not too many people these days have great skin after wearing all that makeup and she has just proved that you dont need to wear a lot of makeup to look good!!

      Could we all step outside of the box as well as the ghetto fashion sense, and appreciate a person who doesn’t follow trends, is creative and ecclectic. Everyone seems to shun what they don’t understand, instead be open minded and relieved that someone isn’t afraid to break the rules.

      As a 33 year old who does not wish to look like a teenager, those are not high waisted pants…they are REGULAR waisted. Thank God there are still pants for us who do not wish to reveal our belly buttons all the time. Armani suits, anyone?

      Kelis is sporting a GROWN UP look for a GROWN woman. And by the way - thick sisters - those above a 12, low rise pants are not your friends no matter your age!

      I think that we have all become so accustomed to her looking a damn fool that once she shows up somewhere looking normal we have a problem. I think she looks good. Once she goes inside and takes offs that jacket ( and give it to me where it should be LOL) the whole think will come together. Thanks for javing a ‘regular woman’ day Kellis.

      I love me some keke as well bt im not feeling this look on her at all. We all know her to come from left field with her attire in a great & funky way, bt this does not compliment her body…which i can also see is dwindling down as well. oye vey! i hope she is not on this retarded diet kick as well. FOOD IS A BEAUTIFUL THING PPL! LETS EMBRACE IT AND OUR CURVES AS WELL! a lil jiggle never hurt a sista! amen!

      I think that it is fabulously unique, just like Kelis. She is known for her different style so I think she’s rocking it. Now could your average Jane Doe pull it off??? I’m gonna have to say “no”. Love the haircut by the way.

      I agree with daddyslyttlegirl….the jacket is throwing it off…and maybe I for one LOVE those new high waisted jeans. They ARE in.

      I agree with daddyslyttlegirl….the jacket is throwing it off…and maybe the socks too!

      Still love HER though! And Kelis is known for being different.

      Remember the dark short hair with it shaved on the side? People wanted to play THAT. Why is it dark? Why sooo short. Why is it shaved? Now look at everybody.

      Im sure B will be cutting off the yaki REAL soon.

      Whatever she rocks….people will turnaround and rock on in a year. REAL TALK.

      The high-waist jeans and pants are in style right now, so it’s very stylish in terms of what’s popping in the fashion industry right now. And what’s wrong with her style? She’s an individual, who’s rockin her style. Fashion is about taking risks, and not following everyone else. People who love fashion, take the time to understand the art, know that. And Kelis obviously loves fashion and understands that, because if she didn’t she would be trying to look like everyone else, looking like a carbon copy.

      BTW: Did anyone catch Celebrity Apprentice last night? Invanka Trump had on the new Calvin Klein dress, that is featured in the latest Vogue. But she had it in white. For the fashionistas it costs, 1500.

      The problem is she is mixing two looks. The outfit and the shoes are one look which works (Her pants are a lil too high tho, but the shoes are hot) And the Jacket and the bag work together. They bangles go good with the jacket also. I dont see anything with her hair…..especially since Saleisha is rocking almost the same thing and it is less flattering on her. Im sick of everybody with that long beyonce weave anyway. Her makeup is clean and fresh which shows off her flawless skin, but with all the nice things I’ve said………Nope, I aint feeling it Natasha lol :0)

      That hair cut isn’t cute… maybe if she styled it differently but this way… negative. I usually like the highwaisted jeans look but something isn’t quite right about hers, not high enough maybe? She looks like she’s lost some weight in a not flattering way. And those shoes are never a go.. IMO

Maybe if Kelis had a different bag & jacket it would be cute, but like I said girlfriend can wear anything she wants plus she has a small frame cute size I wish I was that samll I would try to pull it off 2!!!

      so we’ve established that the outfit was a bad decision… i’d now like to express my concern at *anyone* lining up to see ‘first sunday.’ i move for an intervention.

      She looks ok. I think she is trying to change her image to get a new record label. Do what you have to do girl to make your money.

      Honestly, I like it! The problem is not with the look; rather, it is with the way she is carrying it! She looks like she just got off the bus headed to the first day of 1st grade….AND she didn’t want to go, but mommy made her! If she rocked that look and gave off a little “fever”, she would be just fine!!
      I’m just saying!!!
