We heart these 15 women, but not their stylists. From their red carpet looks to West Hollywood sightings, we contend these gang of talented girls can do so much better! COCO dishes reasons why these starlets should crack the whip on their wardrobe stylists or fire them altogether.
1. Kelly Rowland
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. With such an amazing body, we are simply perplexed at why and how your stylist can’t get right. Like who is she? Your get-ups are at best mediocre and risque gone wrong. We love you Kelly and we want you to win. But your fashions do nothing for your rise above-Destiny’s Child strategy.
2. Lisa Raye
So we saw your stylist on your TV One show. You do realize you stunt his creativity with this “I only wear white” tragedy in 4 acts, right? Your uninterrupted white ensembles will not wash away your sins Diamond. Let’s come off into some color.
3. Meagan Good
Jesus, be a fence. What can we say? Meagan, you have to be one of the most gorgeous Coco girls in the game. Your wardrobe spans “Grease’s” Sandy gone bad to biker girl driving no where. We just don’t know what you and your obviously absent stylist will do when American Apparel finally goes out of business.
4. Tiny
Tiny, you’re a sweetheart. Really. You’ve managed to remain somehow revelant despite the “Where Are They Now?” oblivion of your former groupmates. Your stylist is on stand-by just as long as you carry Spanx wherever you shall ride in T.I’s Maybach.
5. Keri Hilson
Sigh. Keri, please place your stylist on probationary status like now. You are too beautiful; too amazing for such laissez-faire fashion choices. It’s like your stylist isn’t paid enough or something; she doesn’t feel appreciated and she got you purposely wrong out here in these streets. Or maybe it’s that you think you know what’s best. Keri, you do not. Seek counsel from the gate!
6. Raven-Symoné
Raven, your stylist hates you. Funny thing is, she’s likely to be one of the highest paid stylists in Black Hollywood and yet, for some reason she dresses you like a circus street clown. Your voluptuous figure is stunning. There is so much for you to explore, and yet, it’s a sad time nearly everytime you hit the carpet.
7. Michelle Williams
I just need the grace to come enter this space and protect us against the wretchness Michelle pulls. Let’s begin with the hair. Who authorized that? Next, the fits. Does she even employ a stylist? With such a winning figure, it’s just a shame Michelle doesn’t reach for the stars.
8. Fantasia
Fantasia, we say this out of love and the spirit of sisterhood. We know you’ve had a hard time here lately. We’re happy you made it through, if only to tell you to fire your stylist. Please, please! What? Is she/he on vacation? An indefinite vacation? The things you do with clothing is a violation on so many grounds. Stay far away from the fitted blouses and dresses sans undergarment support.
9. Ashanti
Well, clearly you’ve been ushered into anonymity. So this assessment on your clothing just may go on deaf ears. If you should ever rebound with a single, hire a whole new glam squad. Now, your makeup artist she/he can stay.
10. Nicki Minaj
*falls out of chair, plays dead* With all the hype around your debut album and the Kanye/Irv Gotti seal of approval, we just don’t get why you insist on fashioning yourself as a Trini action hero. Nicki, the best way to silence the haters is to be fierce. You need sartorial support from your weaves to your toe-nails. Let’s pull it together before “Pink Friday” drops.
11. Beyonce
Before your recent holiday on the French seas in that Dries van Noten and Boxing Kitten matchup, you wouldn’t have been among these women. But we had to make you an addition because our continued nightmares about Tina bedazzling and House of Dereon takeover. Your new HOD ads reaches wide for Rihanna edgy with the faux tattoos and all, but it just doesn’t translate well. And your Mother’s new fashion line? Middle America run for cover.
12. Melanie Fiona
Melanie, you’re such a lovely Canadian talent, but your outfits are a yawn. From the hair to your stage looks, you have an unimaginative and dull style. It just kills us that you don’t come harder.
13. The Williams Sisters
Serena, we see you trying to give it to ‘em on the carpets lately. Your time with LaLa and Kim K. is well spent. But maybe next time, bring Venus along? You both have the bodies of goddesses but you give us “Children of a Lesser God” get ups. Let’s go for the win and do better.
14. Christina Milian
Now that we’re past that early courtside blonde hair scare, your looks since separating from Dream have been kinda hot. Your shoe game, while trendy, sort of nails it. Hopefully you’ll put that alimony cash to good use a la Kelis and re-emerge with fury.
15. Mariah Carey
“Break, break down…” Mariah we give it to you for being consistent. You have never dressed well. Perhaps your preggers look will be a rebound. Nick, get your boo!
err, this post was a little disrespectful. I mean, there was plenty fashion ‘no-no’ displayed but frankly, I don’t believe Serena, Meagan, Kelly or Keri need new stylists. Meagan has her own new swag and it actually suits well. Of course a well-fitted gown or a printed maxi dress would look look great, but I love the new attire of Serena. And I can appreciate Kelly’s new ventures. And I guess I’m the only one who though Beyonce’s Dries top and Boxing kitten pairing look pretty cool.
#JustSaying.
See the other article on C+C about Serena. Since Kim and her became tighter her look have improved 199%. I didn’t think it was disrespectful but hey everyone has their own opinion
I agree with Mimi. These ladies don’t always look bad. And if someone were to take a pictre of me EVERY time I left the house I am sure I would be getting read to. Many of these women don’t have designers sending them outfits for every occasion. You truly have to be in the Beyonce realms for that to happen, so the rest of them are doing the best they can without blowing all their cash on trendy clothes that they will never be able to wear again. Give them a break!
This list is so true! Lord KNOWS!! Raven and Michelle need a new one STAT!
I’m sorry yall on SO right on Ms. Good. I can’t take her and her fits any longer! She can do so much better. She can still rock her leggings and cut off shorts…….. but try something different Meg damn!
I’m not trying to be rude but what is the point of posting this? Really? Uplift women not tear them down because of what they wear. Some of these ladies are giving back to their communities in so many ways. Clutch shame on you!
I guess. It’s a piece about their clothing and their stylist. Really! No one is calling them out their name or tearing them down. Shame on you….
I agree with “I guess”. The author of this isn’t calling them “dirty scalliwags” or saying they have no talent and need to crawl under a rock and die. She’s simply saying that they can do much better in the style department. I agree with everyone being on here except Beyonce, because her outfits are consistently cute enough to deserve a pass for a couple mistakes here and there and Fantasia, because I think she’s stepping her game up a little bit. Granted the Good Morning America outfit was a little too snug around the stomach area, but she’s been wearing some cute outfits and her hair…on point. And LOL @ Mariah. She will never get it right.
Funny. Ladies don’t look too extra into this. Its a article meant to make you laugh…that’s all.
totally agree. and co-sign on Meagan.
I agree. Damn! Does everything we read have to be an empowerment piece! It’s just humor. You’ve heard of it, right?
Totally agree re: Raven. She is entirely too fab for all the tomfoolery and hijinks.
haha this was funny, totally agree with D_Nice, its just humor
Understood, however why does it have to be at someone else’s expense? True everything isn’t about empowering people but you don’t have to tear them down either. Lastly i would sure love to see a few pics of the article writer!!!
I am right there with my people on black empowerment, my black is beautiful, and all that jazz. But can we please step away from the “struggles” sometimes and just laugh about stuff?! Dang! I’m sure all of you who are so against this article see women on the street in passing and comment negatively on their hairstyles or how awful their outfits are sometimes. Calm down please and have a sense of humor.
I have to kind of agree with Nita and Mimi! I do think this article is bitchy at best.
This article is spot on. It got it right. Fantasia…have mercy!Beyonce…I didnt think anyone had the balls to criticize Ms. B but she has been getting away with fashion tragedies since the Destiny’s Child days. Raven Symone two words: lose weight.
This list is dead on and a bit risky.
Some wouldn’t dare to mention half of the names that was mentioned.
I also want to hear CoCo & Creme’s advice on rectifying these women’s poor style.
You know, like give tips… Because I’m sure the readers may be able to pick up a tip or two from you.
Do I hear a follow up? Looking forward to it.
Total comedy!! LOL hee-larry-us descriptions!! Loved it
This post was overdue! ESPECIALLY with my girl Ashanti…she’s been running from the fashion police for a while!
THIS LIST IS SOOO ON POINT!!! ALL THESE LADIES ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT THE SENSE OF STYLE GAME REALLY NEEDS TO BE STEPPED UP. I WOULD LOOK AT THEM AND THINK THESE WOMEN WOULD LOOKS SO GREAT IF THE HAD A STYLIST.
I agree with most of the ladies mentioned in the post, but not Beyonce. Sorry y’all B can’t do wrong in my book.
Totally agree with the list, minus Meagan Good. She looks fine and dresses for her wallet. When was the last time you saw her in a movie? No disrespect, but chick can’t afford a stylist.
this list is spot on!
Hmmm so you picked women who think outside of the norm…?
Thats right BW lets all look exactly like Kim Kardashian…., :-/ You first though…
BTW LOVED Beyonce’s on trend print mixing outfit.
OMG!! Yall are funny!!! I overall think everyone has their own style. I am not a fashionista so my thoughs and opinions are really irrelevant. I love Meagan Good’s look!! I am not feeling Keri’s look. I think she is a beautiful woman and that grunge look takes away from her beauty. Nicki, Nicki, Nicki, I love Nicki and I think many of her outfits are set to go with the various “characters” she plays.
Some of these ladies I do admit have off days but I don’t make what they make so my opinion doesn’t even matter. Lol.
This post was pretty much on point but I believe there were a few mistakes: Serena has recently stepped her game up, way up in a major way. Chick has been looking flawless (minus that boot/cass thingy) and the pic u used in the post is gorge! Her sister is another story! Beyonce is that B! Point blank, she has her days, which are few far and in between but for the most part, chic is on point! In other news u guys were so right about Miss KeriBaby but she does have a new stylist @Monicarosestyle aka Monica Rose (Kardashian Stylist) who did the damn thing with her wardrobe at a recent appearance.
That is all, lol
This article was on point! they all need new stylists and although i like all of the ladies on this list, the author nailed it perfectly when describing each individual’s dilemma. So beautiful but need to get it together with the looks! Give the fans something to look forward to-is it me or have celebs gotten complacent with their style? Do they think because culture is so celeb-driven now we will accept whatever they throw on and christen it “FAB”? Step ur game up ladies-ESPECIALLY NICKI MINAJ!
Beyonce’s come a long way, I don’t think she deserves to be on here. Same with C. Milian. But as for everyone else…well, my lips are sealed but I’m nodding in agreement lol.
Yeah, she has. I remember for this long stretch where she kept gold, shimmery mess. She’s experimenting with more looks and colors, and I appreciate that. Beyonce’s look is never going to deviate too much from her pageant contestant look because that formula is very successful for her.
Hey, C+C I posted a comment earlier on here but the page jumped when I hit submit and posted it on the other article, was that due to my computer or was that an error on the website? Just curious but love this site….
Actually, this list was spot on! All of these ladies are beautiful and talented in their own way but their fashion sense are more misses than hits! It’s sort of sad because each of them have an unique beauty and bodies to shut a red carpet down if they dress right
thanks for letting us know! We will send over to our tech contact
I don’t think Megan has many options. I honestly doubt she has the money to pay a stylist or have a closet full of Dior dresses and Atwood heels. I just think her looks are too young for her, but I don’t really think she can do much better. If she had the cash I think she could slay fashion-wise.
Beyonce is like Mariah to me. They’re not stylish at all, but it works. And they occasionally have a great shoe moment. Christina offers a few good show moments too, but she dresses very romper room matchy-matchy to me.
I actually like Melanie’s style. Classically feminine and understated like she is. She’s not a flashy type of girl so it works.
Keri, Ashanti, Nicky all need help. Their pieces typically look very cheap, they just need someone to help them shop.
I’d add Alicia Keys to this list too. In 8 or so years she’s never had a good fashion moment. Not one. Not even a good shoe.
I agree with your comment on A.Keys. i really dont get why this girl cant get it together when she’s got all the elements to make a great fashion plate. altho i did kinda like her wedding dress
Well, you know . . .
Not everyone can be Rihanna
This article was on point & pure comedy!
Leave Bey alone she’s alright lol
I think this article was funny as hell. Don’t take it so seriously ladies. In the end, the point was to NOT repeat these fashion blunders that some find to be “fashionable.” And we all know the William sisters do dress HAM.
100% SPOT ON! Especially Michelle Williams, lawd have mercy!
funny how each DC member is on this list–that alone speaks volumes. (i must admit, i was actually feeling Bey’s recent holiday ensemble and i usually pass on her [lack of] style) meanwhile, it seems like DC alum Letoya Luckett has been making plenty of lists for fab hair, makeup, and style as of late. interesante!
yet Letoya isn’t making any kind of important list like maybe, hot 100, top 200, forbes, etc… interesante!
Wow… this just seems like a hater article. Dont get me wrong, some of the women do deserve to be on the list but come on Beyonce, Nicki Miniaj (Their clothes are part of their persona, if they kept wearing the same sh_t, it would be boring.) The most exciting thing about these singers/rappers/artists is that they’re not afraid to think outside the box and be daring. Come on now, we are suppose to be praising our sucessful sisters, not being HATERS. We are better than that and better than this article. Its just funny how the author is probably wearing an cheaper version of something she saw on one of these celebrities 4 months ago that is now available at Walmart/Tello’s. Hypocrite.
Wow, that’s damn near everyone!
I follow Nicki’s stylist on twitter, @TimaFbaby…she’s pretty talented!
Mariel Haenn’s styles Rihanna and Keri Hilson sometimes
i think bey should be on that list. some of her evening gowns have been down right gaudy, lol. i remember seeing her at the opening of a kid-oriented center jay-Z created earlier this year. she’s wearing some ridiculous black & white houndsooth suit with a plunging neckline pounds of makeup and crazy red lips. it was just TOO MUCH. this girl can be way too extra. she should a page from the fashion book of Charlize theron, (an actress B herself says she admires). She’s a beautifull girl, not saying she should dress as a nun, but damn, sometimes less is more. she should learn how to bring it down a notch.
totally agree. many of these women are consistently hot messes. especially beyonce and someone who SHOULD’VE been mentioned, her sister solange.
Kelly usually looks good. Well besides her performance get-ups…
These are the very women that are the topic of dicussion between my girlies and I when we talk about fashion no no’s!!! The joke is that I love almost all the ladies on they page and they are all uber successful and talented….But their style really get my knickers in a twist somtimes especially Keri Hilson and Mariah Carey!!!! I just dont understand why…seriously for the life of me I dont!!
And without being too much of a B…. Ashanti……she has never got it right!! It not her fault though, there are certain girls that no matter how much they spend on designer clothes….. they will always and I mean always look Cheap!!! God forgive me but its true!!!
xxx
I don’t think Keri Hilson belongs on the list. She switches her looks up so much it’s hard to even assess or comment. Half the time I’m appreciating her and half the time I’m not. In her business I think one is supposed to keep people guessing once they know your face and won’t get confused.
Nicki Minaj doesn’t belong either, because while I’m not feeling her music, I believe her look is a major part of her popularity.
Melanie Fiona’s look may be boring to y’all, but it’s working. I’m in the if ain’t broke, don’t fix it camp. It could be worse as we can see from the other ladies on the list.
Serena Williams has been on a steady style upswing lately, so I’d take her off because apparently she DID get a new stylist.
