GLAM OR SHAM?: Jennifer Lopez's Gold Lame Jumpsuit in Vegas

When trying on clothes, you can always count on this rule of thumb: if it looks bad on JLo, it's going to look horrible on the rest of us. Take this gold lame jumpsuit, for instance.

Even celebs with amazing gene pools and better doctors should be careful when it comes to jumpsuits (I hope I conveyed in my guide to jumpsuits post). If the proportions are off, you can look like you're in toddler pajamas. JLo goes wrong with pants that are too baggy and a top that is too tight by comparison.

Another reason this jumpsuit doesn't work? The lame gold material and zig-zag pattern. It's flashy, busy and too complicated for a head-to-toe printed look.

She was in Vegas though at the show Sinatra: Dance With Me (for Frank Sinatra's 95th birthday) so maybe the drama was an ode to Vegas' over-the-top glitz?

What do you think of her look? Glam or Sham?

Ad Glam: Jennifer Lopez and Kids Star in Campaign for Gucci Children's Line

If you thought Jennifer Lopez would lose an ounce of sex appeal after becoming a mother, you are sadly mistaken.


The mother of twins Max and Emme (with husband Marc Anthony), JLo still rocks a photo shoot like no other, as you can see in her ad campaign for Gucci. Lopez gives the only Zoolander face, while holding and playing with her kids, who couldn't be more adorable and oblivious.

Shot in Malibu, California, by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, the campaign advertises Gucci's children's line which will launch Spring 2011. The line for toddlers (0 to 2 years) and kids (2-8 years) will include rompers, tees, bibs, blankets, leather jackets, leggings and more. Cute!

To celebrate the launch, Gucci will donate one million dollars to UNICEF's "Schools for Africa."  Check out some pictures for the kids' line below:

While I adore the clothes and the ads (and am thrilled about the donation!), how much is too much to spend on clothes for toddlers and babies? As much as you love your little child (lord knows I adore my niece, Naomi), they're going to spit up on their clothes and grow out of them in five minutes anyway.

What do you think of the ads? And would you ever spend a ton of money on luxury children's clothes?
