AH, THE PANT SUIT

Posted Dec 01 2008 @ 09:24 PM

In a blinding white satin suit, Natasha Bedingfield made a startling entrance on the red carpet on the 2008 American Music Awards on Nov 23 in Los Angeles. Making a stab at the female suit trend, I’m so jolted by the clown-like make-up, ill fitting suit, pale cleavage and red strappy heels that I’m not quite sure what to make of this. One thing is certain: it’s officially time to hire a stylist for red carpet appearances! If you like the professional vibe, try a more feminine approach like Laura Dahl’s Marshall Cropped Jacket in White with a tucked in tank and Shumaq’s Linen Pencil Skirt in White, and add a statement-making necklace like Rock Paper Scissors’ Peacock Necklace in Gold. Nat’s oversized, too short pendant necklace throws me off just as much as the rest of the ‘fit, but I’m wondering if she was trying to match the red lips and heels with the crimson frock she wore for her performance later in the night. It’s the only explanation I can think of! Natasha has been keeping herself busy with the “New Kids on the Block” tour, but while traveling on the bus Nat has made it a priority to visit as many schools as possible to inspire the kids to express themselves through music. Lucky kids in a few cities got to come on board the Lennon bus, fully equipped with a recording studio and writing space for Natasha. On a recent trip back to the UK, Nat raved to a British mag about her passion for penmanship: “Song writing is what I love doing the most out of anything I do and it’s very creative and I love just sitting in a room and just starting to jam. I just start humming and the songs just end up coming out!” If “Unwritten” was just the beginning, I can’t wait to see what this budding songstress has in store for us in the future!
