I like the look and fashion of model Nine D'Urso ... she is the face for

I didn't know about her Pipette! Here is Nine D'Urso in some modern casual fashion that I think is beautiful. I wouldn't mind wearing what she has on here!

Sunny Harnett, born in 1924, as Annemarie Margot Harnett in Brooklyn, was a model in the 1950s. She can be found in fashion magazines throughout that era — including frequently on the cover of Vogue — and was often a model of choice by photographer Edgar de Evia. Harper?s Bazaar ranks her as one of the 26 greatest models of all time.

She was also an actress and appeared in the film Funny Face. An ash blonde, she was a favorite model of photographer Richard Avedon, who served as a thinly veiled model for Fred Astaire?s character of Dick Avery in Funny Face. Avedon snapped one of the most famous photos of Harnett, in which, clad in an evening gown by Grès, she peers at a roulette wheel in a casino in Le Touquet, France. That iconic August 1954 photograph fetched $35,000 when Christie's auctioned it in October 2012.

I love Sunny's work. I find her to be the archetypal ice cold, elegant, blonde glamazon.

I came across this and decided I had to post it as a horror. Why would adult woman dress herself in what could only be appropriate as a funeral outfit for a prepubescent 10 year old? (minus the tacky double cuffed heels) Yuck! For Shame!

Kate Middleton dresses flashy but nice.

Kanye seems to like to have a spectacle on his arm at all times. Remember Amber Rose?

Amber Rose......what a freakazoid look there!
She seems to share deplorable taste in maternity wear along with Kim Kardashian.

I thought Catherine Zeta Jones, Jessica Alba, and Natalie Portman all wore beautiful maternity clothing.

Here we have 3 horrific fashion fails. Amber Rose, Nikki Minaj, and somebody else I do not know. The clothing, the shoes, the hair.......all grotesque. YUCK!

Amber Rose......I never really took notice before. But since I started googling out of curiosity, I find both her appearance and public behavior to be extraordinarily cheap and unattractive in extremis.

I can't leave the thread with horror. So I just decided to post a few of Elie Saab's 2013 fall collection which I found to be very beautiful. Enjoy....

A beautiful Christmas cocktail dress.

Although stylish, her fashions seem to me ... just a touch overdone.

The Queen never has a fashion misstep. She's always cool, imo

Despite the title of the topic, we recall that not all look like circus monkeys, as some modern celebrities.
