WOULD YOU WEAR?: Underwear as Outerwear?

It's the new rage.

Corsets, slips and lace worn as everyday clothes.

On the plus side, the trend saves YOU money. A lace top, for example, is a piece you can wear under your clothes one day and as the highlight of your outfit the next.

The counterargument is, well, you're rocking your drawers out in public.

My opinion? I'm all for the underwear as outerwear look. Like any good thing (i.e. Louboutins, chocolate, candy), the trend is better in moderation. If you wear head-to-toe lace, you look like a Burlesque dancer, a stripper or Lady Gaga.

But by pairing a corset with a blazer or a lace top with a circle skirt. you achieve the perfect balance of sultry and sophisticated.

When worn the right away, this trend gives your everyday look the most alluring hint of sexiness.

Scroll below for celebrities that get the look RIGHT and some options to nail the trend in your everyday wardrobe:

Rihanna pairs a corset with leggings and a baggy white shirt.

A blazer and boyfriend jeans tone down Eve's racy black and sheer corset.

Don't you just love Zoe Saldana? She's so chic! Here, she lets her bra peek out of her demure button-down shirt and pencil skirt.

What's sexier and more romantic than lace? Leighton Meester pairs her see-through lace turtleneck with a pair of loose-fitting pants.

Fitted pants and a blazer are the perfect accents to LaLa's baby blue corset top. Adorable!

Fab or Flop: VH1 Hip Hop Honors Awards

At the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Awards on Thursday, the rap glitterati---and Eddie Murphy's ex-wife??---took a page out of Rihanna's glam rock playbook. However, for some, that page was missing two very important rules:


Number 1 - The all black, Addams family look is a NO. You end up looking like a rock band groupie in mourning or a depressed stripper. Always add a pop of color, from a bright lip hue to a fierce stiletto heel.


Number 2 - A style this bold, sexy and dangerous takes LOADS of confidence...and either you have it or you don't.

Did the ladies pull off Rih's coveted tough girl swag? You be the judge.





Glamazon Vote: FAB. Eve dazzles in a sparkly top, liquid leggings and chic blazer.





Glamazon Vote: FAB. Joy Bryant's neon heels are the perfect pop of color against a chic printed mini.





Glamazon Vote: FAB. The serial celeb dater, Nicole Murphy, wows in a backless dress and studded accessories.





Glamazon Vote: FLOP. Besides looking like she dressed in her niece's clothes, MC Lyte's dark ensemble needs a spark of color. And the proportions are all wrong! Ankle straps and cropped leggings actually make her look shorter, when the look calls for long and lean. 

Glamazon Vote: FAB FEROSH. The pitbull in a skirt gets catty in a skin-tight black bodysuit with heavy metal accents. With gold link chains (cute nod to 80's hip hop) and peeptoe heels, Eve takes the trend and makes it her own.*


*Get Eve's look for less at American Apparel (bodysuit, $32, americanapparel.net)

Calvin Klein skinny belt, $21, bluefly.com.

Cast your vote: are the looks ferosh (FAB) or a hot tranny mess (FLOP)?

And you can catch the VH1 Hip Hop Honors on Monday, October 6 at 10pm.
