Fashion Faceoff: Kelly Rowland vs. J-Wow's Revealing Pasties on New Year's Eve

We thought pasties were a thing of the past once Lady Gaga and Rihanna retired them. We couldn't have been more wrong.

Pasties reemerged in a big way on New Year's Eve with Kelly Rowland going full frontal in Vegas and J-Wow of Jersey Shore letting it all hang out in NYC.

We're totally not surprised by J-Wow's indecent exposure but Kelly left us shocked. Sure she's a diva with a huge Queen following as of late, but she was never as risque as say a Jersey Shore cast-member.

Pasties aren't for me (not brave enough, like, at all) but I believe if you bought it, flaunt it so more power to you, Kelly! And though she leaves little to the imagination in this look, her sheer, studded black top and diamond studs almost look classy next to J-Wow's rhinestone necklace and open blazer. Almost.

What do you think about Kelly and J-Wow's New Year's Eve pasties? Who wore it better, or umm less tackier?

GLAM OR SHAM?: Kim Kardashian for Bebe Fall 2010

Hey Glamazons!

Like we warned you weeks ago, Kim Kardashian's designs hit the runway for the first time as a part of the Style 360 Fashion Week series. A young crowd, including Rob Kardashian's ex, Adrienne Bailon, watched as a parade of chic, ubertrendy looks came down the catwalk.

The styles, which ranged from a pink one shoulder dress to a black wrap jumpsuit, were a bit safe and dated---but keep in mind, these designs are for a mall store as opposed to a high-end fashion brand. The look stayed true to Bebe's signature style (form-fitting, sexy, young, trendy) while appearing as if each piece was designed specifically for Kim Kardashian's body. Curves were exaggerated with petal draping and cinched waists, and the silhouettes were all body-skimming and flattering.

The color palette was monochromatic with blacks and grays, interspersed with vibrant pops of pink. All the trends of last season were incorporated into the collection: sheer, cut-outs, one shoulder, statement necklaces, jumpsuits, white blazers, blah, blah, blah. The shoes---some platform sandals, some booties, all open-toe---troubled me.

Kim wore a hooded sweatshirt dress under a leather corset with matching black gloves. In my opinion, it just didn't seem to fit her style (it was more bad-girl than L.A. socialite chic) but her body still looked amazing (is that Quick Trim?! wow!). Oh and did we mention J-Wow from Jersey Shore was there (sideeye)? Check out the looks below and give your verdict:

Glam or a Sham?
