WIGGING OUT AT BLOOMIES

Posted Nov 02 2008 @ 10:32 PM

Gearing up for the release of the highly anticipated Cadillac Records next month, in which she stars as the legendary Etta James, Beyoncé Knowles made a stunning appearance at a promo gig for Bloomingdale’s in NYC on Oct 28. Lucky customers who attended the event and purchased a dress from B’s House of Dereon line at the swanky shopping mecca received an autographed copy of the soundtrack for Cadillac Records, which won’t be available to the rest of us until the movie comes out on Dec 5. With her hubby backing her up, B’s entrepreneurial savvy just keeps getting better! For the event, Beyoncé donned a glamorous off-shoulder LBD (try Zoa’s Puff Shoulder Cotton Stretch Dress in Black or Ingwa Melero’s Denim Sofia Dress in Jet Black) with blue satin heels, accented with silver tear drop earrings (like Michele Michel’s Onyx Diamantine Drops Earrings in Silver) and a sparkly black and silver cuff (Rachel Leigh’s Clasp Jeweled Bracelet in Blue would go perfectly with heels like B’s). I love the balance between the sexy dress and heels and the edgy black nail polish, with one exception – what’s up with B’s roots being teased so high? I have to guess that she skipped the stylist’s chair and instead put on one of her infamous wigs. Though she’s been spotted wearing them in the past, a friend recently dished to InTouch about her well stocked collection: "The majority of them are custom-made from real hair and she's probably got $1 million worth of stunning wigs. It's part of the reason why she always looks so gorgeous." So that explains it! From the way it looks in the picture, what do you think – fake or fabulous?
