Red Carpet AMA Trends: Black, Velour and Pink!

Posted on November 20, 2017

I’ve missed a few red carpet coverage because…life but I was quite excited about what I saw this week at the American Music Awards, held at the Microsoft Theater on November 19, 2017 in Los Angeles, California….A lot of pink and black, but not together!

Speaking of P!nk, she and our other Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Kelly Clarkson performed together.

Not a mom but a blog fave, Tracee Ellis Ross killed it as host and the tribute to her mom Diana Ross who took home the Lifetime Achievement Award was all that and a bag of chips! (Do the kids still use that phrase?)

In the mix was her daughter in law Ashlee Simpson Ross, whose husband is Evan Ross, the baby boy of the Ross family. their daughter Jagger Snow stole the show! Ashlee wore a Christian Siriano dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and Neil Lane jewelry.

She was part of the sequins in black trim along with Clarkson who also went bold and brave in a velour and gold gown hugging her gorgeous hour glass figure. I’m loving her sleek blunt parted ombre hair too.

Kelly Rowland too did black with floral in a interesting long split Galia Lahav dress with sheer sleeves, fresh off witnessing Serena Williams‘ nuptials in New Orleans last Thursday. Her good friend Ciara went a bit S&M in an asymmetric black leather coat dress by Alexandre Vauthier haute couture and thigh high boots with wet look hair. Nicole Kidman played in safe in Black as well but looked stunning as usual in an Olivier Theyskens dress, Giuseppe Zanotti boots, a Versace bag, Fred Leighton jewels, and an Omega watch

Opting for the lighter part of the spectrum was Heidi Klum in a pink and gold slip dress with a deep v plunging neckline which is in a vintage Gianni Versace from Morphew, accented with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes.

Mom-to-be country singer Jessie James Decker did a shade of pink too in a bump hugging off-the-shoulder dress, a shade of pink. Speaking of P!nk, she too went with the color of her name in a hot pink and tulle Monique Lhullier dress and her signature pink hair. Jenna Dewan-Tatum in gold and looked hot as usual in a beautiful Julien MacDonald gown, John Hardy jewels, and Giuseppe Zanotti strappy sandals.

Congrats to our alums Shakira for winning Favorite Latin artist and Carrie Underwood for winning Favorite Female Country Artist.

One of the first celebrities we ever bump watched, Christina Aquilera brought the house down in a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston film, The Bodyguard singing “I Will Always Love You”, “I Have Nothing” and “Run to You” and “I’m Every Woman”. She killed it in my book! Did all the songs justice and Whitney with her voice, range and power! Wow!

Watch!

Singer Monica also hosted an elaborate Easter Egg Hunt and party at her home. Her daughter Laiyah, outfitted in the cutest hot pink jumpsuit seems pleased. Monica also sparked a bunch of comments speculating that she is expecting in this photo. She too is wearing a paisley off the shoulder jumpsuit that is gapping at the center, creating the illusion of a bump. Whether one is there or not, who knows.

Ashlee Simpson Ross and her daughter Jagger Snow looked cute for Easter outfitted in matching Coachella wear Bohemian Mini-dresses.

Kandi Burruss and son Ace Tucker Wells attended Monica’s Easter Egg Roll and Hunt party too.

Lady Antebellum lead singer Hillary Scott shared a really creative looking aerial shot of herself with her daughter doing Easter activities.

Tamera Mowry-Housley and hubby Adam posed with their kids daughter Ariah and son Aden in their Easter best.

Sadly, over at her sister Tia Mowy Hardrict‘s home, all was quiet because her son Cree was battling strep, her her Instagram post.

Check out Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady‘s daughter Vivian in her bunny ears egg hunting on the beach.

Victoria Beckham gets in the spirit, donning a bunny mask that looks like the signature bunny on her clothing. She looks great and this is the curviest I’ve ever seen her and they look good on her.

Soleil Moonfrye is certainly blessed as she said, captioning this photo of the Easter bounty she amassed for her children.

It’s Golden Globes Weekend and the Party’s Already Started (GET THE LOOK!)

Posted on January 8, 2017

It’s Golden Globes weekend which means tons of opportunities for Hollywood’s A-Listers and elites to hobnob with one another at various events, pre- and after-parties.

We spotted at least four of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums working the “red carpet” at the The Art of Elysium presents Stevie Wonder‘s HEAVEN – Celebrating the 10th Anniversary at Red Studios yesterday, on Saturday, January 7, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

Kristen Bell opted for a gorgeous copper-colored sleeveless sequined gown by Maria Lucia Hohan and gold Charlotte Olympia heels and clutch.

Chrissy Tegien was radiant in a white Tiered Ruffle Long Sleeve Lace Dress by Jonathan Simkhai. Ashlee Simpson Ross too wore a black lace dress by the same designer, which she accented with smokey eye and a black choker for a Gothic look.

Jaime King went with a lace Altuzarra slip dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, a Sophia Webster clutch, Vhernier earrings, and a Tacori ring.

They all looked fab and all the dresses were off the rack! Get them here:

Why Leighton Meester and Ashlee Simpson-Ross are Smart to Join This Celeb Baby Name Trend

Posted on September 25, 2015

This week, Gossip Girl alum Leighton Meester welcomed her first child with fellow actor Adam Brody, PEOPLE confirmed. The couple, who only married last February 2014, named the new arrival Arlo Day.

It is keeping with the trend of celebrities giving their daughters unisex or male names which has been around since 2012, at least.

We also got introduced today to Ashlee Simpson-Ross and Evan Ross‘ first child together, daughter Jagger Snow Ross.

They too also married last year, August. This is Ashlee’s second child. She has a 6-year old son, Bronx, with her ex husband Fallout Boy front man Pete Wentz.

I think a girl with a boy name gets a leg up in the digital world when you can interview for a job, complete a job, collaborate on a project, make online friends and do pretty much anything without seeing a person.

Often times, there are negative and limiting associations that people assign to a person when they know the person is a female.

All of a sudden a firm reply becomes a bitchy one. An ambitious career move by an Mid-level career woman is seen as getting over-her-head. Showing compassion during a debate turns into being “too emotional.”

I’m not certain if the axiom is true in the reverse, but I do know that men, generally, are not penalized the same.

Of course, at some point, there will be a face-to-face meeting, but by then, a person has already proven their value and character. No need to assign another layer of gender bias to it.

Thus when you start out with a unisex or male name, you’re one step ahead of the game!

Right on Ashlee, Evan, Leighton and Brody!

Jessica Simpson planned and showered her sister Ashlee Simpson Ross at her home with a few close friends this past Tuesday. Simpson Ross is expecting her first child with her husband since last August, singer Evan Ross (Diana Ross‘ son).

Simpson, our two-time Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum, posted a photo of the gorgeous table setting on her Instagram account with the caption, “Another gorgeous tablescape by @casadeperrin to shower @ashleesimpsonross and @realevanross,” the fashion mogul wrote, alongside a photo of the too-perfect setting. “#BabyLove.”

Simpson Ross’ friend Odette Annable also posted a photo of the event on her account with the caption, “Girlfriends make everything better,” the Astronaut Wives Club star wrote on her Instagram. “Celebrating our beautiful friend @ashleesimpsonross.”

“It was beautiful weather and her house was the perfect setting … so gorgeous,” a guest told PEOPLE magazine, “It was very chill and almost like just a get-together than a traditional shower. It wasn’t focused on games [and was] more like a big party.”
