Gallery And Fashion Show Report: Fashion Week’s First Plus-Size Event
I attended Fashion Week’s first-ever plus-size runway show on Wednesday, for the label OneStopPlus. Yesterday, I posted about the body-image insensitive Pretzel Crisps incident — and unfortunately that was not the event’s only weight-insensitive gaffe.
But first the celebs! Nikki Blonsky and Gabourey Sidibe were in attendance, along with Jersey Housewife Caroline Manzo and America’s Next Top Model winner Whitney Thompson. I was most excited to see Richard Schiff, who played White House staffer Toby Ziegler on The West Wing – so maybe that says something about my qualifications for covering a fashion show. More »

YBF says:
The show will follow the YBF chick on her daily model/actress/tv personality grind. And we get to get a peek into what she does on the daily. And maybe even her life as an NBA girlfriend.
Toccara is dating LA Clippers player Rashual Butler.
Oxygen tried the ANTM-alum show before – remember Pretty Wicked? I think Toccara has what… More »
Tyra Banks, Toccara Jones at BET Awards
Tyra Banks stepped out in an androgynous look at the BET Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles last night. Her look was no doubt inspired by Michael Jackson, as many stars payed tribute to the musical icon through their fashion choices, thoughtful words and musical performances.
I think this look is quite a risk for Tyra, but she definitely pulls it off. It’s once of her better red carpet looks in a while.
The BET Awards were started in… More »

I really like Toccara’s new haircut. It’s sleek and fresh and makes her look far younger than the longer, curly look she was sporting a few weeks ago. And the dress is pretty cute too!
Guests included Hot 97’s Angie Martinez & Miss Info, Rapper Freaky Zeaky, DJ… More »

Toccara Jones & Eva Pigford Wrapped Up in a Bow
Toccara Jones and Eva Pigford dressed down for the Wrapped With A Bow Celebrity Gift Wrapping Party, with proceeds going to Los Angeles Foster Children and Giggles ‘n Hugs. I guess they were ready to work!
I think Eva looks really cute here, with her hair pulled back and her white sweater. Toccara, on the other hand, looks like somebody’s mom. I love Toccara, but where has her sense of style gone these past few events?

Toccara Jones at the Grammy Nominations Concert
Toccara Jones made another fashion blunder, this time while on the red carpet of the Grammy Nominations concert at the Nokia Theatre LA Live on December 3. It really feels like she’s been channeling Laura Wilder as fashion inspiration as of late.
The giant hair is overwhelming. Im all for lots of hair, but the shape needs to flatter and this doesn’t.

Toccara Jones at the American Music Awards
Toccara Jones was one of the many celebrities who attended the American Music Awards on November 23. She went for a flirty, 60s inspired look with a polka-dotted dress and Mad Men inspired hair.

I’m not really a fan of this look. I like the idea behind it a lot, but not the execution. I’m not the only one. Red Carpet Fashion named her the worst dressed of the night…. More »

Toccara’s career has been on an upswing. She appeared in this month’s issue of Vogue Italia and just finished a stint on the All-Stars version of Celebrity Fit Club. I wonder what new projects she has in store.
