You're Fired Valentino!!!

Another fashion faux pas is tarnishing the awards season's haute couture reputation.
Jessica Biel's slim-fitting metallic gown from Monday's Golden Globes gala is the same one Hilary Swank wore to a Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2004. Last year, it was Reese Witherspoon who was burned after being caught in a "vintage" Chanel number that had been worn by Kirsten Dunst in 2003.

"I loved this dress and felt great in it," Biel said in a statement Tuesday. "It is unfortunate that I was told by Valentino no one had ever worn the gown before, but I think Hilary has amazing style, and I'm flattered we share the same taste."

Valentino issued a statement, too, but would not specifically address the Biel mix-up: "Valentino dresses are timeless, and each woman brings to them her own interpretation. Two beautiful actresses can be different and great even in the same dress."

What happened? Ultimately, it's the responsibility of Biel's stylist and Valentino's public-relations mavens to research gowns to be sure they haven't been worn to high-profile events before, says Treena Lombardo, fashion market director at W. "But in the harriedness of the season, people are just doing their best with a lot of gowns flying in and out of hotel rooms."

And perhaps a pink slip or two floating around as well.

Beauty Find of the Day!!!

I know ya'll won't believe this, but "la broka chica" Jamie is wearing Chanel Allure lipstick in Boudoir. I received this in the mail a couple of weeks before Christmas and was scared to wear it. Maybe because it retailed at like $29! Okay,I've had expensive makeup in the past but that was the "my living my la vida loca debt-ridden" past. But in true $29 lipstick style, the color goes on even in one swipe and looks fantastic on me. Folks, I think I'm slowly falling back into the buy-it-so-what-its-$29 trap. Ah...I'm in love with Chanel lipstick! Also planning on trip in G-ville to see the MAC Raquel Wlch Icon collection. Gotta get my money and mind right!!

Rural Glamour's Golden Globe Recap Part II-Makeup!!

Very Fresh. Needed to touch up her lips though...
I love this!!!She looks soooo glowy!!
You know how JLO do...
Look at all that bronze shimmer!!Did she bathe in it?Look like she bathed in Nars Body Glow and rolled in Becca Body Shimmer. The dress is enough!!
Some say her look was very "trannie" But I like it. She look like she had makeup "on" which I love.
Plum lips for me for a week peeps!!
She looked great. I wish I can do a cat-eye like that...

Rural Glamour's Golden Globe Recap!

I watched the Golden Globes last night including the pre show on E! and the TV Guide Channel. Well,I missed the last 15 minutes of the Globes...I went the sleep on the couch! But here's my...you know...ADHD beauty/fashion synopsis of what went down:


* Lots of Black,jewel tones, and white dresses. I thought perhaps NBC was planning a mass wedding we didn't know about.

*Chandra Wilson of Grey's Anatomy cleaned up well. She usually looks busted blaming it on motherhood. Note to Chandra... Being raggedy ain't always the kids fault.

*Puffy...excuse me,Sean Combs, looks like he had lost some weight in that blue brocade tuxedo jacket.

*Salma Hayek had her chi-chis out as usual!!! Go Ugly Betty!!

*Jada Pinkett Smith was wearing her Founder's Day Salmon Pink looking fabulous.

*Why did that Eddie Murphy/Tracey Edmonds duo catch me by surprise? I so knew they were together.

*Where was the neckwear? I mean who wore necklaces? I saw very very few.

*Vanessa Williams hair. I could have done that. I hope she didn't pay over $25 for that. But her dress was fire.

*I'm sorry...Cameron Diaz's Chanel number was totally ruined by her fire-ass red lips. I more subtle face would have did the trick for such a wonderful dress.

* Okay Miss Reece Witherspoon, you are single and fab in yellow. Didn't like the hair though.

*Makeup- was pretty typical to me, smokey eyes,nude lips, red lips, shimmery skin. JHud did a plum lip that out of ordinary.

*Speaking of my beautiful,first award of the night, Jennifer Hudson...I loved the dress, Vera Wang satin, umpire, navy, very flattering. Needed something though. Maybe she saving it for the Oscars:) I more in love with her each day!

*You knew it was coming...Beyonce. I sort of felt sorry that she didn't win her singular awards. Even though I know she wasn't going to win Best Actress over no Meryl Streep. Of course she had on her best gold lame,beaded, sequined, with a keyhole at the navel(?) drag and her longest Yaky hair. Her jewelry was great though. Even though she didn't win , you know her parents are going ride the hell out the "Golden Globe Nominee/Winner" title.

Favorite looks and Fashion No's are coming up...

Be sure to watch Fashion Police at 8pm on E! tonight!
