CG Mizzou’s Top 5 List of the Best & Worst Dressed at the Grammys

The Grammys may be a wrap, but the red carpet fashion lives on. As with most award shows, some stars looked like royalty and some looked straight up off-key. The College Gloss Mizzou team watched every misstep and has a lot to say about what they loved and hated about the fashion on music's biggest night. (Somebody get Taylor's stylist on the phone!)

Top 5 Best Dressed

Rihanna


“Rihanna is not always my favorite, but I have to admit that I loved her style last night. She looked so elegant in red, and her hair was perfection.”  -Abby Kass

“Lady in red. Rihanna was the definition of glamorous in this flowing crimson gown. Her bold red lips and nails complemented her ensemble without overdoing it.” -Candice Brew

Kelly Rowland


“The strategic peek-a-boo panels in this dress are the definition of being tastefully sexy. She looks strong, sophisticated and just downright hot. A big ol’ “WOW” sums up my feelings for this look, head-to-toe.” -Veronica DeStefano

“Kelly Rowland embodies the perfect balance of sexy and classy in this gorgeous gown. She was absolutely working it.” -Luria Freeman

“Rowland looked stunning in this Georges Chakra gown. She managed to give off the perfect amount of sex-appeal while remaining classy. Not to mention, her natural-looking makeup and simple updo was the way to go with such an extravagant dress.” -Candice Brew

Carrie Underwood

“Carrie looked amazing in the dress. It fit her perfectly and was interesting, but at the same time showed off that amazing diamond necklace.” -Abby Kass

Katy Perry

“Some people might hate this, but I think it’s simplistically beautiful, and also Katy is my spirit animal so...” -Alise Murawski

"Gucci at the Grammys. What more needs to be said?" -Kayla Elam

Justin Timberlake

“Simple, yet so stylish and classy. Men can’t go wrong with that look.” -Abby Kass

"I love a good bow tie and a good shoe on any guy, but this Tom Ford on Justin? Just wow." -Kayla Elam

Top 5 Worst Dressed

Adele


“I’m all for Adele getting past her all black stage, but wearing a rug isn’t an improvement.” -Cheyenne Roundtree

Florence Welch 


“She looks like some kind of ginger reptile. Godzilla in America.” -Luria Freeman

Jennifer Lopez 



“Sad but true. That bun does not belong at the Grammys, and the weird crotch on her dress ... just no.” -Luria Freeman

"Angelina Jolie already did the high slit, leg pose. Sorry J. Lo, try again!" -Lindsay Keaton

Taylor Swift

“I feel like I’ve seen this before from her ... branch out a little T-Swizzle!” -Alise Murawski

John Mayer

“Not feeling the velvet blue jacket and the blue bowtie that doesn’t really match.” -Abby Kass

The stars should never fear, though, because the next few weeks will bring more award shows with new fashion for us to gossip and drool over. We'll be watching.

Campus Style: Infinity Scarves


Meet this week’s campus style girl, MU Textile and Apparel Management major Jerica Leiby, a down-to-earth sophomore who was spotted at the Bengal Lair in Memorial Union.


What are you wearing?
“I’m wearing a cheetah sweater from Urban Outfitters, which I got for a really good deal because it was during the summer. My jeans are from American Eagle, my boots are from Dillard’s, and my infinity scarf is Gap.”

What is one thing in your closet that you could not live without?
“Big sweaters and infinity scarves, I wear them almost everyday in the winter.”

Do you have a fashion icon or someone who inspires how you dress?
“I really love Ellie Goulding!” (She even looks like her!)

When shopping is there an ideal price range you would like to stay within?
“I try to keep most of the things I buy under $50, but occasionally I’ll splurge on something.”

What is your biggest “fashion don’t” rule?
“I personally hate that typical ‘college fashion’ look, with North Face jackets, athletic shorts or yoga pants. Sometimes it is fine to wear leggings, but yoga pants everyday is a don’t for me.”

Campus Style: The Big, Comfy Sweater


Meet Amanda Becker, an MU sophomore who was stopped for her cozy rainy day look, after casting her vote for President in Memorial Union.


What are you wearing?
“My sweater is from Old Navy, my jacket is from Nordstrom, my jeans I don’t know the brand but they are from Nordstrom as well. My boots are Steve Madden, and my bag is Longchamps.”

What are your top three favorite stores to shop at?
“Nordstrom or Nordstrom’s rack, Urban Outfitters and Marshalls are my top three places to shop at.”

Is there a specific price range that you try to stay within when you shop?
“Ideally the cheaper, the better, but I will spend on jeans up to $200, but on a shirt or sweater normally no more than $70, but it would have to be really cute.”


Do you have a favorite trend right now?
“I really love the big sweaters, like boyfriend sweaters, because they are so comfy and warm.”

What is one thing in your closet you couldn’t live without?
“A really solid pair of jeans because they go with everything, and if they are comfortable then you will always feel good in them.”

Technology Meets Fashion: The Google Glass

It isn’t uncommon for designers to embrace outrageous new trends and ideas, but recently one designer has taken it a step further by debuting a revolutionary piece of technology at this year’s spring fashion week.

The audience at the DVF fashion show was buzzing with questions about the futuristic headset the models were wearing, wondering if they served a purpose other than mere accessories. Soon they found out that glasses could be used not only as a fashionable accessory, but also a computerized device.


Diane von Furstenberg has been known for the past 20 years for being innovative and original with her first major contribution to the fashion world being the iconic wrap dress. She showed that fashion can mix with technology by helping Google unveil its Google Glass.

These new glasses are the iPhone to all other glasses with groundbreaking features that will change how people see things, literally.

The overall goal of Google Glass is to create a device that is hands-free and allows users to live in the moment instead of juggling between their phone, tablet and computer. The glasses can be compared to a wearable computer or a wearable phone with an impressive operating and hard drive system.

The glasses are sleek and modern with a stainless steel frame and sides that come in various color choices. The glasses rest on the bridge of the wearer’s nose, just like a regular pair of eyeglasses, yet at this stage of development they do not have lenses. The glass reaches up to the eyebrow, slightly covering it, with the screen resting in front of the upper eye.

Even though the screen is visible to the upper eye, it does not cover the actual eye itself. The screen is unseen until the wearer looks up to the corner where the screen is located. This allows no interference or disturbance with an individual's normal vision.

In the screen, the user can see the Glass’s operating system of icons and can browse through and select one with a swipe of a finger on the touch pad. The touch pad is located on the temple component of the glasses.

The glasses also feature a camera right where the hinge is located. The camera allows the owner to take pictures and record and stream live video to others. In addition to these functions, the user can also video chat with their friends with the incorporation of Google Hangout.

Other futuristic features of Google Glass include live maps, music, reminders, updates, voice command and messaging. With so many features, it is surprising that the glasses only weigh around 36 grams, which is equivalent to the weight of regular sunglasses.

You will have to wait and probably save up for at least one year if you want to be the first one with these new specs. Google is expecting to launch the glasses to developers in early spring of 2013 and could cost them close to $1,500. On the retail level, Google Glass is projecting a 2014 release. By then, pricing is estimated to drop so that the technology will be more affordable for consumers.

Fashion and technology don’t usually merge so seamlessly, but with DVF showcasing sleek styles for spring 2013, it was a perfect fit. Google Glass made its way down the runway and may be on its way to becoming not only a fashion staple but also a technology must-have.

Get Ready for Halloween: DIY Cutout Skull T-Shirt


Halloween is only a week away, and if you want to celebrate the holiday without looking too cheesy, try out this four-step DIY skull tee. This shirt is perfect for lounging around on a lazy day, or can be dressed-up for the weekend!

Here is what you’ll need:
  • A loose, oversized t-shirt
  • Scissors, 
  • A washable marker

If you don’t want to risk one of your favorite tees in order to try this out, head down to ACME on Ninth Street to pick up one for $5.

Let’s get started!

Step 1:

 Grab your tee, and with your marker, outline a shape of a skull. If you are using a dark-colored shirt, use a silver marker. 

 Don’t be afraid to be sloppy in your outlining—the more rugged the skull looks, the better! 

 Make sure to space the teeth wide, so they won’t run together when you cut them out. 

 While drawing your skull, it helps to look at a picture for reference. Below is the picture I used while making my shirt.




Step 2:

 Take a step back and make sure you like the sizing and spacing of the skull. This is your last chance to change your design! When you are happy with how it looks, move onto the next step.

Step 3:

 Start cutting out the outline you have made. The tricky part of this step is carefully cutting around the teeth. 

 Cut too close, and the teeth will run together! 



Optional Step:

 If you can brave the chilly October weather, go an extra step further and make your shirt into a tank. Cut off the sleeves and neck of the shirt around the hem. 

 Caution: This can be tricky if you haven’t tried this before. If you aren’t one hundred percent confident in your seam ripping skills, ask a friend to help you!

Step 4:

 Try on your new shirt!

 For a complete weekend outfit, try pairing this with a plain bandeau, a dark mini skirt, sweater tights, and low boots. Your new festive shirt is a fun and easy way to get into the Halloween spirit.
