More or Less!?

More or less…whichever you fancy, the real deal or the copycat, one’s expensive one is less expensive!!


Okay so with Beyoncé and Jay Z hot in the press at the moment after all that palaver in the lift, I thought I’d try and find some style steels. One of my fav outfits for Queen B was at the beginning of January, I can't imagine wearing something like this in January, I live in the UK, its freeeeeezing this time of year! But summer is nearly here (WOOHOO) and I love this style for relaxing at the park, going to the beach and exploring new holiday destinations. I found the real deal and some styles similar with a much lower price tag!


Crop Top: More: LESS Less: YONCÈ


Sunglasses: More: Wild Fox Le Femme Deluxe Less: Round Sunglasses 

Nike Air Max 1 Liquid gold More: 1, 2, 3, 4 Less: High Top, Platform Trainer

Jay Z, well this style isn't going to suit for all guys but I like to cater for both sexes so as I was looking for Beyoncé’s style I had a hunt for Jay Z’s as well. To be fair I think the style he went for this day on the beach looks quite fresh, lose fitted jeans and a white t-shirt is to die for in my opinion, paired with white sneakers and a snapback, pretty cool!! I couldn't find his exact t-shirt, i'm pretty sure the logo is a Versace logo, so I found the current Versace t-shirt instead! Even Blue Ivy matches them both…adorable!!



T-Shirt: More: Versace T-Shirt Less: Plain White T

Grey Sweater: More: All Saints Crew Neck Less: Crew Neck Jumper




I also found a couple of other Beyoncé two piece style outfits, I love the two piece look, it was big last summer and by the looks of things from retailers like Missguided, New Look, Boohoo and Topshop, they are coming back again!!

The See-Through Dress

So who wore it best…? 

After all the fashion drama from the Grammys a little over a week ago I decided to look back at some of the outfits that have been a popular conversation between some of my friends. The main talk was Beyoncé in the figure hugging white lace dress by Michael Costello. After seeing the dress pop up all over my Facebook and Twitter feed I could have sworn I had seen it before, so I did a bit of digging! I found that I had in fact seen this dress before. Yes, it had been done a little differently but wow, over the past few years I found seven popular names plus Beyoncé that had worn similar items, even Beyoncé­ herself wearing one in 2012 by Givenchy at the MET Ball. Black embroidered lace with a beautiful black and purple layered feather train.





The first main appearance I could find of this style of dress was at the NRJ music awards in January 2010 worn below by Rihanna. Dress designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. Also shown below is the second celeb spotted in September 2010 at the MTV music awards Ciara rocked an almost skeleton placed lace and feather dress by Givenchy.


The next star laced from head to toe was Lebanese singer Najwa Karam at the Cannes film festival in 2012, this dress was designed by Zuhair Murad who tends to favour the feminine chic look through his Haut Couture collections.



Next stop is January 2013’s Golden Globes, here we saw another Zuhair Murad design worn by Jenifer Lopez. Later in the year at the Angel Ball in New York City in October, Model Jessica White wore a delicate design by Michael Costello.


Another 2013 dress with a twist, Kim Kardashian made a return to our screens after the birth of baby North on the Jay Lenno show. She wore a short lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana, pieced with black underwear…to make a statement I am guessing!


Finally another twist on the ever popular lace gown was also at the 2014 Grammys, Paris Hilton gave the Costello dress a run for its money wearing Milani, covered at the front and clear backed with stripes of sequined fabric.


So, who did wear this best? I know a lot of people who feel very uneasy by the style of this dress, it’s not exactly your pull out of the wardrobe, last minute cocktail party attendance dress! However I love the statement that each Celeb has made through the years by rocking the partial nude look!!
