WOULD YOU WEAR...Winter Shorts like Alexa Chung and Nicole Richie?

There are some things I just can't leave in the summer: boys, peeptoe pumps, flirty, floral dresses, miniskirts. A pair of shorts is not one of them.

That's not to say I don't adore the shorts and tights look which is tres chic for early Fall dressing. But there is a cutoff date, and I'd say it's probably when the rest of the world is wearing fur jackets, knee boots and scarves.

The freezing temperature hasn't stopped a couple celebs from stepping it out in shorts and tights. (I'm hoping they're in Los Angeles because ten minutes near the West Side Highway in Manhattan and you'd turn to ice).

And designers are churning out shorts in winter textures like velvet and wool. 

What say you? Is it way too late in the season to rock the winter shorts look or would you brave it with a pair of cashmere cableknit tights and knee-length boots?

Discuss.

And if you love the winter shorts look, here are some studded, wool, velvet or leather shorts to brave the cold in:

Nicole Richie's Marchesa Wedding Gown: Glamazon-Approved

Swoon! Nicole Richie knows how to pick them and by 'them,' I mean men AND wedding gowns. While we totally support her wedding to Good Charlotte rockstar, Joel Madden on December 11th (he seems like the sweetest guy), her Marchesa wedding gown is what really got our attention.

Just look at it: white lace turtleneck with open neckline and a cloud of white tulle fit for a princess. I would so love to get married in that...to a rich rockstar...who adores me...but I digress.

The stunningly beautiful Marchesa wedding dress was inspired by Princess Grace Kelly's iconic gown (below), Nicole tells People Magazine, whom she sold the photos to in exchange for the mag's hefty donation to one of her fave charities.

The bride wore three Marchesa gowns in total, including one made from hand-crafted silk organza and tulle petals. Dying to see more pictures!

More details:

-They were married at Lionel Richie's house in a tent designed like a French Garden.
-Reverend Run officiated.
-Their children were a part of the ceremony. Harlow, 2, was the flower girl and Sparrow, 15 months-old, was the ring-bearer.

Pick up People Magazine this week for more photos and details from the ceremony. Congrats to Nicole on her lovely wedding gown...and oh yeah, love!

GLAM OR SHAM?: Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie and Christina Aguillera at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Gala

While the rest of us were shopping, doing laundry or hitting the beach yesterday, Hollywood luminaries were gathering for "Unmasking" a black-tie gala at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).


The event took place Saturday night and several Glamazons were in attendance from Kim Kardashian to Nicole Richie. Christina Aguillera performed hits "Imagine," "You Lost Me," "Beautiful," and "Fighter," backed by a 20-piece orchestra. Would've killed to here her performance!

The gowns, admittedly, didn't impress me as much...except for Kim Kardashian's that is.

Nicole Richie chose a Marchesa tulle white and black gown with embroidery and ribbon detail. While I am obsessed with Marchesa's glorious ballerina-ready dresses, Nicole Richie's gown isn't the most flattering on her.

Christina Aguillera wore a silk chiffon champagne gown by Atelier Versace with a plunging neckline and gold bead detailing around the waist.

She wore red lips and platinum blonde curls. I am soo not a fan. The hair, boobage and champagne hue makes the dress look tacky to me.

Kim Kardashian stole the show in a one-shoulder, peach gown with draped gatherings along the waist. She wore her hair in an elegant updo. Stunning!

What do you think about these looks? Who was GLAM and who was a SHAM?

A Walk Down (Celebrity) Mug Shot Memory Lane...

Now that Lindsay Lohan is in the clinker, I thought it'd be fun to make fun of her mug shot. But, aside from the fact that her lips look a bit plumper than usual, she doesn't look bad at all. In fact, I kind of like that she's giving us attitude in the picture..as if maybe this is all a joke to her. (Which, according to this article on people.com it clearly isn't as she's reportedly been crying her face off.)

So then I thought, why not look at some other fairly famous celeb mug shots and make fun of them instead?!

But, before we start, let's rewind back to 2007 when Lindsay was first arrested. Besides the fact that she looks a twisted mess, her eyebrows are in pretty great shape! Oh, and her hair looks fuller in this picture. I hear that they don't let you wear extensions in jail or prison so I bet she had to take it out before taking the shot above. Did I mention that she was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving and cocaine possession right after she was released from rehab when this photo was taken? Can you see the highness in her eyes?!

And here's the lovely Paris Hilton who was booked last year on June 3 and out by June 7. But, wait! She was ordered to return back to jail (which she did screaming and crying) to serve her 23 day sentence and was finally released on June 26. Nothing to really be said about her looks in this photo; except I couldn't figure out why all of her hair was swept over to the side like that..weird.

And if we talk about Paris, we can't forget about Nicole Richie! Without her long blonde weave, she looks rather non-celeb in this mug shot, wouldn't you say? Although she has two, this is her first one that was taken in December 2006 when she was charged with driving under the influence of drugs. And, before you start thinking "Oh, that's not too bad!" let me point out that she was driving down the road going the wrong way...while high on marijuana and Vicodin.

Is there anyone else that is skeeved out by R.Kelly's mug shot? I mean, I love his music (well, most of it anyways) but he himself always gave me the creeps. Taken in 2002, he was finally found not guilty of having sex with a 14-year-old girl in May 2008. The only word I have for this is just EW.

It's a man! It's a tranny? No, it's Amy Winehouse! Huh? Yes, Glamazons. This tragic burning sizzling hot mess of a mug shot is the singer herself. Now, I love her music (can't get enough of the stuff!) but I just don't agree with her looks...and this is one reason why. Although being arrested is nothing new to her as it's been happening for at least half of her adult life, this one was taken in May 2008 due to suspicion of drug possession. She was caught by a British tabloid on video smoking crack cocaine. Hence the reason she looks like a crack head in this mug shot.

The Glamazons' Picks for Best-Dressed at the 2010 Oscars

The glitz! The glamour! The fashions!

We live for the Oscars red carpet each season as it's way more entertaining than the actual show. Sure, winning an Oscar for your screenplay or performance is the ultimate goal (my favorite moments were Kathyrn Bigelow's historic win for Best Director and Geoffrey Fletcher's win for Best Adapted Screenplay! Yay for amazingness behind-the-scenes).

But at the Glamazons, we feel Oscars should be handed out for the best fashions as well. Choosing the right dress, makeup, accessories and hair is no easy feat, and excellence in this regard should never go unnoticed. These five beauties below wowed us on the red carpet and totally deserve recognition. Check out our picks!

I swear Sandra Bullock knew she would win the award for Best Actress. How else can one explain this stunning, gold gown by Marchesa? The shimmery, form-fitting number hugged her curves (who knew she had such a great body?!) in the most beautiful, elegant way possible. Bullock topped it off with a sassy bright lip.

Gabourey Sidibe's brilliant blue Marchesa dress flattered her figure, and made her look more feminine than ever.

Rachel McAdams channeled Spring in an ethereal, watercolor print gown by Elie Saab. Stunning!

Finally, ruffles done right! Elizabeth Banks was a radiant beauty in a Versace gown in Fall's color du jour, gray. The soft, cascading ruffles offered a feminine touch to her structured bodice. A crystal headband and diamond studs provided the perfect accent.

Nicole Richie supported her man who DJ'ed the event, Joel Madden, in a metallic Reem Acra gown with an open back and dramatic train. I'm all for a fresh look on the Red Carpet, and Richie delivered just that by channeling 70's Hollywood glamour.

Who else should have made our list? Do you agree with our top picks for best-dressed? Discuss.
