2014 BET Awards Red Carpet dominated by WHITE (UPDATED PHOTOS)

Posted on June 29, 2014

Tamar Braxton-Herbert, Amber Rose, Eva Marcille, Apryl Jones and Gugu Mbatha-Raw all wore White to the 2014 BET Awards at the Nokia Theater at LA LIVE in Los Angeles, California on June 29, 2014.

UPDATED: It seemed like WHITE was the color of the evening on Sunday night’s 2014 BET Awards red carpet. Several of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums and other celebs went with the summer shade while working the arrivals to the annual show at the Nokia Theater at LA LIVE in Los Angeles, California.

Jennifer Freeman, Holly Robinson-Peete and Tamera Mowry-Housley looked fab and glam in gorgeous in their red carpet looks.

We spotted several brand new moms including Kerry Washington and Eva Marcille, both who welcomed their first child, respectively this year. Here is what they and other celeb moms who we have covered in the past looked like and who they wore:

Kerry Washington, who welcomed a daughter, Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha with husband Nnamdi Asomugha on April 21 wore the Dolce and Gabbana strapless cotton silk brocade dress (GET IT HERE) accented with a green clutch and Casadei pumps in Summer white.

Eva Marcille went with a fitted white SEN Couture dress showing off her bounced back body after welcoming daughter Marley with Kevin McCall in February this year.

My Wife and Kids alum Jennifer Freeman was gorgeous in a floor length hot pink Michael Costello gown.

Amber Rose showed off her tiny waist cinching it with a gold colored belt around the middle of her long sleeved V-neck dress. She barely smiled because her mind was on son Sebastian who she cut out on the award show mid-broadcast to go home and see. Awwww! That’s realness right there.

Omarion is expecting with his girlfriend Apryl Jones who also did white and long fishtail train similar to the sheer style she wore for her coral-themed baby shower last week.

Tamar Braxton-Herbert, who had a fainting spell while performing last week, went va-va-voom in a white jersey SEN Couture dress though she looked to need a little more support to really polish off the look which she accentuated with gold clutch and jewels and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Holly Robinson-Peete showed off one of her best assets: her strong shoulders in a peach one shoulder dress.

Tamera Mowry-Housley is gorge in a fitted Yigal Azrouël python leather zip up mini dress. Not seen in this pic are her fab Saint Laurent Snake Embossed Silver and Black Cap Toe Pumps.

Interesting mesh and satin dress and strappy wrapped pumps there Kyla Pratt. The mom to 3 1/2 year old Lyric Kai Kilpatrick and another daughter born last August with beau Danny Kilpatrick and actress was giving “tude” and Face on the red carpet. Love the confidence.

Oh Hi Tameka “Tiny” Harris. Going with the Little Black Mermaid scales dress we see. hmmmm.

JWoww thinks “Pregnancy Sucks” and so did these other celebrity reality TV women when they were preggers

Posted on May 3, 2014

So it seems Jennifer “JWoww” Farley is taking cues from her bestie Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi when it comes to declaring in the public how much she dislikes pregnancy.

Snooki infamously told TMZ cameras she thought pregnancy was “disgusting“.

In an inside story in this week’s In Touch Weekly magazine, JWoww declares that “pregnancy sucks!”

While keeping it real, she adds. “I’m exhausted, my boobs are massive and I’ve never been this big. I mean, it’s a blessing, but it’s crazy.”

But JWoww is but the latest in a slate of Reality TV show moms who had spoken openly about their disdain for being pregnant while they were recently preggers.

America’s Next Top Model All-Stars winner Lisa D’Amato said pregnancy is pretty “gross.”

Tamar Braxton-Herbert said one episode the WE TV shows Tamar and Vince that she thought the idea of breastfeeding a baby was “disgusting” and repeatedly focused on the weight gain and being and feeling “fat.”

Much of Kim Kardashian‘s time shown to TV audiences while she was pregnant was dedicated to how fat and unattractive she felt pregnant and her lamenting on being anxious about shedding the weight and posing nude after giving birth.

Certainly, they are entitled to be candid and open and honest. We thought actress Busy Phillips was refreshing when she also shared how it’s never as rosy and perfect as most other celebrity women paint it to be.

Nonetheless, know that with all this public negative chatter, will come harsh words especially from the very large members of the infertility and TTC (trying to conceive) set who would gladly trade nine lives of their lives to experience all the woes and “horrors” of pregnancy.

Just keepin’ it real.

Celeb moms rock 2014 BET Honors RedCarpet and Stage (PHOTOS)

Posted on February 10, 2014

Some of our past Bellyitch Bumpwatch moms rocked the red carpet and stage to the 2014 BET Honors this past weekend during its Saturday, February 8th taping at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC.

Comedian Wayne Brady hosted the 3-hour star studded event which honored Aretha Franklin, Ice Cube, Berry Gordy, Nelson Mandela, Chairman and CEO of American Express Kenneth Chenault and photographer and visual artist Carrie Mae Weems.

Jennifer Hudson showed major leg in a super short white mini dress with a cut out for a structured black bra to peek thru! Hot!

Tamar Braxton-Herbert brought Hollywood Glam to DC in a Gold figure hugging evening dress on the red carpet. During the performances later, she paid tribute to Gordy, singing songs of one of his most famous proteges: Diana Ross. The VH1 reality TV star of The Braxtons and Tamar and Vince channeled the iconic diva in another curve hugging wine-colored dress with a plunging neckline that also showed off her super trim post-baby body. The TV co-host of Fox‘s The Real sang some of Ross’s biggest tunes, including the chart topping and memorable “Upside Down.”

Mariah Carey headlined and opened the show with a song from her upcoming album in a sexy dress revealing mucho boobage. MiMi didn’t walk the red carpet but she was spotted carrying daughter Monroe into the theater (see photo in collage below).

Wow, Mariah! After showing all that leg on the red carpet, Hudson went demure in a whit pant suit while signing her tribute to honoree Aretha Franklin. She and singer-songwriter phenom Janelle Monae who did a tribute to Gordy met up with the legend back stage.

The show airs on Monday, February 24th at 9pm ET on BET.

2014 Grammy Red Carpet, On Stage & Behind-the-Scenes (PHOTOS)

Posted on January 27, 2014

Last night, the biggest names in music hit the red carpet to the Staples Center in Los Angeles,California on January 26 for the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards and celebration. We took to Grammy’s mobile app to live Instagram and share some of the Red Carpet, On Stage and Behind-the-Scenes imagery and photos of the night, starring many of the moms current and past that we’ve “bumpwatched.” We start with Alicia Keys who looked stunning in an electric blue plunging Armani Prive dress with hubby Swizz Beatz.

Beyonce won the night in this lace curve-hugging Michael Costello fish tail dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Christian Louboutin heels.

Another relatively new mom, Amber Rose, looked amaze in a gorge gold Naeem Khan floor length curve-hugging dress.

Another one of our pretty new moms Anna Faris looked amazing in this midnight blue Fitranni dress with a slight train.

Ciara rocked her bump in a shimmery bronze floor-length Emilio Pucci gown.

Giuliana Rancic made the BEST dressed list with this crimson lace overlay Alex Perry resort 2014 dress and Marina B jewls. Gorg!

Tamar Braxton-Herbert just had her son last year and looks smoking hot in a fire-engine red Michael Costello dress while posing with hubby Vince Herbert.

P!nk accompanied hubby Carey Hart while showing off her toned bod in a red Johanna Johnson dress.

Sweet. Erica Campbell of the group Mary Mary had her daughter for her date last night while wearing a two piece lace top and skirt. It was a modest and approporiate look considering all the hoopla over her solo album cover.

Madonna and son David did the 20s zoot suit styling by Ralph Lauren.

Fantasia Barino went with a neutral-toned slip dress with a red halter strap under a black lace see-through dress with crimson lip and a cute bowl pixie cut. Confusing look.

Also rocking her new pixie cut was Jennifer Hudson, who didn’t go to the Grammys but was spotted on the red carpet to Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy party that occurs the night before the Grammys at the famed Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills. Jennifer Hudson wore a colorful Christopher Kane dress.

At that same event was actress Paula Patton in a crimson Mireille Dagher Couture fall 2014 lace mini dress with a plunging neckline, worn with Louboutin pumps and David Yurman jewels.

Pink’s aerial performance has become an anticipated breath of fresh air for award shows. She’s done it a few times before and stuns audiences each time.

Look at that strength and balance. Amazing.

The night opened with a saucy solo and duet by Beyonce and Jay Z performing Bey’s song Drunk In Love off her latest self-titled 5th solo studio album. The outfit was by Nichole de Carle which was accented with Saint Laurent tights, Stuart Weitzman Mary Jane dance shoes, a La Perla Collar, and custom bra, and Jennifer Fisher jewelry. Jay wore a Tom Ford tux.

Academy-Award nominee Julia Roberts was a presenter.

Producer of the Year Grammy winner Pharrell Williams was the talk of the show with his interesting forest ranger hat, seen here cutting up with Jay and Bey backstage.

And again with another pop star royal couple Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz.

Daytime Emmy Red Carpet where Neutral and Sheer Reigned

Posted on May 1, 2017

Yesterday was the Daytime Emmy Awards held at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.

You can find a list of winners here!

Doing our usual red carpet scope out of the moms we have featured before on the blog, we saw the neutral and sheer trend still reigning strong.

Tamera Mowry poses for a portrait at “Portraits by The Artists Project Sponsored by Foster Granton” during the 44th Daytime Emmy Awards on April 30, 2017.

In a surprise shift from her usual conservative dress, Tamera Mowry-Housley showed out in a blush jeweled with pearls Tony Ward ball gown with nude tulle overlay and a sheer peekaboo top. Okay Tamera! We see you stepping out of your comfort zone.

Not suprisingly embracing her curves was her co-host on her FOX syndicated show The Real Adrienne Bailon, who also went with neutral tone in a one shoulder curve-hugging. Love!

Jeanne Mai wore white and she, Loni Love and the entire cast posed backstage for a cast photo as part of the “Portraits by The Artists Project Sponsored by Foster Granton” all looking spectacular!

Their old co-host Tamera Braxton-Herbert, who was let go from the show this season, also looked amazing in a neutral tone ball gown as well. She infamously announced days before the show her plans to join the ladies of the cast had they won.

We didn’t get to see that awkward moment (given how devastated Tamar looked in The Braxton Family values airing of her reaction to getting fired and her unfollowing any friend who guest appeared on the show since).

Aisha Tyler‘s show The Talk won their category. She was joined by our other Bumpwatch alum, Sara Gilbert on stage.

Oh and Toni Braxton was there looking fab in black!

Her sis Tamar tried to help fluff her dress but ended up revealing a little extra leg and thigh action. Not that Toni is a stranger to the high slit dress.

Tamar’s dress from Steven Khalil‘s store was spectacular on its own.

Super Bowl Showdown: Gisele Bundchen versus the ATL Divas

Posted on February 4, 2017

The big game is tomorrow evening. Who are you rooting for? The 4x Super Bowl champions New England Patriots or the Atlanta Falcons. I know for certain our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Gisele Bundchen will be Team Patriots. After all, she is married to its longtime famed quarterback Tom Brady.

I’m not for certain, but I will take a guess that the scores of other celebs we’ve “bumpwatched” who live in the Atlanta area will be cheering for their home team.

Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Eudoxie Agnan, Ciara, Keshia Knight-Pulliam, Rasheeda and Tamara Braxton-Herbert all hail from the ATL.
