GLAM OR SHAM?: Estelle's Long Red Weave

Okay, before we start the Rihanna comparisons, let me get this out of the way:

(1) I like long hair on Estelle. It softens up her features and gives her a pretty, feminine look.

(2) The red is darker at the roots, which strays away from Rihanna's blinding bright hue.

(3) The couple of times I've met her she seemed like a generally sweet girl. LOL.

Now, that I've said that, Rihanna has successfully sparked another hair trend (with both Trina and Estelle rocking crimson coifs) but I can't say this one is particularly becoming on any of them.  

Estelle debuted this look during her show at the Key Club in Los Angeles last night and tweeted: “Newww haiirrrr don’t care (winter weave pt 2) yessss."

I'm all about a winter weave and a new hairstyle, but does this look work for her? You be the judge. Glam or Sham?

GLAM OR SHAM?: Lala and Carmelo's Wedding with Kim Kardashian, Lebron James and More

While The-Dream and Christina Milian made their way to divorce court, Carmelo Anthony was in NYC putting a ring on Lala's finger.

Sure the engagement lasted forever, but I'm not judging. At least we know this isn't a fly-by-night marriage just so the kid isn't born out of wedlock (cough...Christina and The-Dream). 

And any event that brings out fabulous fashion is a celebration in my book. 

Check out the top looks of the night below (with designer names) and give your verdict on who was GLAM and who was a SHAM.

Lala arrived at the venue before the wedding looking fabulously casual and chic. I see those studded Christian Louboutin loafers, girl!

Kim Kardashian showed up in a Herve Leger dress, Loren jewelry and Christian Louboutin heels. She wore the tightest, most shimmery dress she could find---or is it just me? She certainly looked stunning and is a great friend; rumor has it she paid for Lala's wedding dress and one of her bachelorette parties.

Kelly Rowland has been getting it right these days in my book. The lovely singer wore a purple long-sleeved dress and leopard print pumps to the event. Very demure yet modern and classy at the same time. A class act!

Oh, Ciara. Is this look for the club or your friend's wedding? Between the busy print, the one-shoulder and the hemline that will creep up and display all her goodies with one wrong step, she looks a dusty sham (my opinion). And what in the Sasha-Fierce-hell is that on her finger? I can't.

Serena Williams does it again in a classy, flattering strapless dress, peeptoe pumps and a matching clutch. While I'm not crazy about the hair, I must say she looks chic and presentable.

Lala's good friend, and Beyonce's cousin, Angie Beyince, kept the leopard trend alive this time mixing it with royal blue. I think that dress is super-flattering on her figure (ruching and draping are your friends, ladies!) and am a big fan of the look.

"Couture" details aren't for everybody. Trina is gorgeous but this look gives me urban high school fashion show and that's not a good thing.

Miami Heat's most controversial player, Lebron James, showed up in a dapper gray suit and sleek shades with long-time girlfriend Savannah by his side. Maybe we'll see his wedding right after next year's championship ring? Haha (Shameless Lebron fan moment).

Ok, my favorites were clearly Kelly while Ciara and Kim Kardashian weren't following the rules of etiquette in my opinion (don't dress for the club at someone's wedding). Glamazons, give your verdict on the looks. Who was Glam and who was a Sham?
