Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson got Fashion Week off to a great start in this beautiful off-white pantsuit with black satin lapels. I realize she wasn’t at Fashion Week when these pics were taken. But she will be.

The celebs were out & about in NY last night attending all the fabulous Fashion Week events. Teyana Taylor was cute as a button in her “Dirty Couture” rhinestone gem denim jacket and jeans. I recall buying a similar jacket back in the 80s when rhinestones were really in. I paid $600 for the jacket in NY. Again, that was 80s prices so you know a jacket like that costs a grip now. It’s great to see rhinestones making a comeback.

Singer Santogold showed off her flair for the unusual and stylishly dramatic. As my new friend Juanita would say, “it looks nice, but I wouldn’t wear it.”

Actress Joy Bryant is simply stunning in this strapless metallic Missoni Spring 2009 pantsuit. If Joy was my friend I would urge her to put the cigarettes out for good. Her cigarette habit is showing on her face.

Solange Knowles was a mismatched cutie pie in Bryant Park on Friday. She wore a black cropped jacket over a sheer white frock with a baby blue Chanel bag and grape Christian Louboutin heels.
