Diesel denim on denim! Dua Lipa rocked this daring brand ensemble while heading to a taping of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in New York City on March 3. We loved the cropped crop top and baggy jeans on the Canadian tuxedo and how she added matching heeled boots and a denim bag to boot.

Ouch! Roberto Cavalli’s choice of Ciara for the Billboard Women in Music Awards in Los Angeles on March 2 was completely wrong. From the inexplicable high neck to the chunky leather belt to the many cutouts and slits all over the animal print fabric, there was way too much going on with this dress.

Millie Bobby Brown looked almost unrecognizable at the 2022 BAFTA Awards on March 13.

That’s a lot of hot pink, Alicia Keys! Although we’ve loved monochromatic pink outfits in the past (see Jessica Simpson or Kim Kardashian), we weren’t fans of the Alicia Keys trend.
