No mirror Milian?
The Dream & Christina Milian were spotted @ a sporting event, but that's not what this is about, lol. Christina usually looks pretty good, but her hair and outfit decisions are eww today.
Work ..... it.
Mr. West & Ms. Rose are at it again, this time in Paris. The couple attended the Hussein Chalayan, Sonia Rykiel and Givenchy shows, where she wore this Alexander Wang Spring 2009 dress. The dress is completely sheer, and sexy as f*ck. BUT WAIT! ...Amber didn't stop there. The dress was accompanied by accessories from Louis Vuitton, which included an updated Limelight clutch for Spring 2009, and a pair of black tribal heels. Anyone know who makes the shades?
On to another show.... Amber's gloves and two-toned tights are killer; shoes are cute, too.
