WHO WORE WHAT?....."Premios Juventud 2013" Red Carpet Part 3: Los HOMBRES "Ayyy Mijo!"/Dont's

Ricky Martin and Sensato: 2004 called and they want their fashion back...

After discussing the Best Dressed at Thursday night's Univision-televised "Premios Juventud 2013", as well as the "Ayyy Mija's!" (Oh Dear! Ladies), it's now time to wrap it all up with the HOMBRES. For some reason, the men did not do well, when it came to the red carpet on Thursday night. There were some HOT MESSES; lots of Miami Vice influences, lots of D-bag (I can't use the entire word but you know what I'm talking about) looks that one would see on a random Friday night at a very C-list Hollywood and/or Vegas nightclub; in other words, some of my Chicos need help! So, let's talk about the "Ayyy Mijo's!" of "Premios Juventud 2013":

Alex Ubago:
Spanish singer-songwriter known for his ballads looks more like a CAA
Agent ready to go to a meeting with his clients, than an actual singer
who makes all the chicas swoon. It's a nice Zara-looking suit, but not
for "Premios Juventud". On a good note: I give him points for not looking like an extra on "Miami Vice". Speaking of...

Don Johnson Eat Your Heart Out:
Just because the event is close to Miami, does not mean you have to
give a "Miami Vice" outfit. Boys, Oh Boys. Host of Univision's "Despierta America" Morning TV Show, Johnny Lozada (left) wore
this outfit of white slacks, red jacket and blue t-shirt with a graphic
of eye glasses. Oh and yes, a sockless suede loafer to finish it all
off. What. Is. Going. On? Is it 1986 all over again? He's too old to be wearing graphic tees--an elegant dress shirt would been much better.

Venezuelan music duo Chino y Nacho--Miguel Ignacio Mendoza (left) and Jesus Alberto Miranda Perez (right) --These two did their best to give "Miami Vice" circa 1985 at the "Premios Juventud 2013" alfombra roja. It's sooooo obvious "Miami Vice" that I wonder if the joke was on us and this was on purpose. Of the two I would pick (if I had to!) Chino (the one on the right) as the better dressed one--at least his pants are skinny and they fit him and the shoes are a bit more on-trend. But together, these looks are better left for an 80's themed dance party.

Print Boys: Lots of the ladies at "Premios Juventud 2013" wore printed looks and it seemed to have infected some of the men as well. Exhibit A: Mauricio Henao--Colombian-born model, actor, heartthrob Mauricio is a HUNKA HUNKA of a man but in terms of the style he wore to the award show, he must have gotten confused and thought he was attending a Beach Party in Cancun. Let's start with the tropical printed jacket, the worn jeans, the v-neck t-shirt, the I-Just-Got-This-at-the-Quicksilver Store necklace, and to finish it off: Espadrilles! It's a fun look, if you're attending a Pool Party in Miami Beach. But for "Premios Juventud"?

Exhibit B: Dominican rapper Sensato--Two Words: Oh Dear! First off, is that a jacket of cherub babies? And then, the skin-tight leather pants, the gold chains, the douchey sunglasses...Ayyy Mijo! Please tell me girls are not attracted to this look. Please! It's so "I'm waiting in a long line at a Vegas club...and I may not get in".

Eugenio Derbez: Mexican actor of film and comedy (he's also a Formula Three Auto racing driver!) Eugenio is an icon in the business. But this outfit he wore at "Premios Juventud" does not say Spanish-language actor/icon, instead it says "Pirates of the Caribbean Meets Django Unchained". I am so confused by it. The jacket looks as if it was made of couch fabric and then he wears it with a white no-collar shirt, basic flat-front pants and a belt straight out of Ross Dress For Less. I have a feeling someone at Disneyland is missing their costume. Seriously.

J Balvin: Colombian Reggaeton recording artist J Balvin also thought he was attending a Beach/Pool Party (along with Colombian heartthrob Mauricio Henao): white linen almost-see-through pants, a heathered knit shirt, a sleeveless jacket (?) and too-big-for-his-feet open toe sandals. I just can't. No Mijo. No.

Larry Hernandez: American Mexican Regional Music singer/composer/TV star Larry Hernandez is not looking too happy in this picture (why the "stink face"?). I wouldn't be looking to happy if someone told me that I had to wear this outfit.  The jacket, pants, shoes...they all look very expensive but, they shouldn't go together. It's as if he walked into the Gucci or Dolce & Gabbana boutiques on Rode Drive and told the sales person "Look, I've got $2,000, put together an outfit for me...that's ON SALE!" without any thought to whether or not it would actually look good. He looks like a Russian Mafioso waiting for his eight mistresses to show up. Not a good look.

Oh Ricky You're So Fine...Oh Ricky!---Ricky Martin! Can we start with the fact that Ricky signed a pack with the Beauty and Ageless Devil. For Sure. He looks the same way he looked FIFTEEN YEARS AGO! I want the number to his skin care expert--plus the products he uses! Now, the fashion: I have to say that after looking at all the other "Ayyy Mijo!" messes above, Ricky looks pretty good. It's not a bad look, it just seems a bit contrived, a bit "Yoshi Yamamoto Meets Armani Exchange circa 2004". But again, I will end on a good note: He still looks FIIIIIIIIINEEEEEE!

Who Wore What?....."Premios Juventud 2013" Red Carpet: the "Ayyy Mija!", the "Uh Oh!" Chicas & Couples

 Print Loca: Danna Garcia loves a print--"Premios Juventud 2013" BankUnited Center Coral Gables Florida

Premios Juventud Ayyyy Mijas! Yes, kids, in my last post I discussed my picks for #MejorVestidos (Best Dressed) at Thursday night's "Premios Juventud 2013" red carpet (it was more of a striped green-and-orange "Welcome Door Mat"!!??). So, now, naturally, I am following it up with, what I like to call the "Ayyy Mija's!" of the bunch....the not-so-OK dressed. And don't worry, the MEN are not exempt--my following post will be all about the "AyyyMijo's!". Now--in terms of the Ladies at the "Premios Juventud 2013" red carpet--there weren't that many truly tragique looks  but just some that ended up here because of too-big hair, too many accessories, or too Drag-Queen-y high pumps. So, it was more Styling "Oh No's". With that said, Let's see who made the cut:



Pageant Queens:

 

Carolina Tejera: Venezuelan model and telenovela actress Carolina should have been better (style) advised. What Prom-and-Pageant shop in Boca Raton did she get this from? It's a dress even a girl running for "Miss Teen USA Arkansas" would reject. And need I discuss those Drag Queen gold platform heels? Ayyy Dios Mio!

Jessica Santiago: The gorgeous Jessica was Miss Gurabo Universe for the Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2011 pageant and she was Miss P.R. 2011. You may also remember her from being on Cycle 12 of "America's Next Top Model" (she was eliminated very quickly, second in fact). While I do love the color of this dress and the hi-lo cascading silhouette, there's something about it that makes me think her designer tried to do Dior Couture but the operative word was tried. I'll give her points for "bringing it". But, it still is way "Too Mucheey".

Marisela DeMontecristo: Speaking of Pageant Queens, this one actually brought HER CROWN! And wore it! With a sensible "I'm Going to Host an Event at Macy's at 3pm" outfit! Marisela was just crowned "Nuestra Belleza 2013" back in May (therefore this is why she is proudly wearing her crown!). She's Salvadorean and from LA. While I do like the bright bubblegum pink color of the dress, I still think it could have been a little more cocktail and a tad more sexy. The lining is too short and the belt is distracting. And once again, WHAT is with the platform pumps? Strappy heels would have been much more NOW.

Leslie Grace: Singer-songwriter of Dominican descent, Leslie Grace is GORG! She looks like a former "Miss Universe" (this is why she's in this section). Her hair, makeup and heels are perfect. I'm just not sure of this feathered multi-printed mini dress. It's a little too much as if she's doing a hot dance revue in a Kenyan Safari.



Orange Girls:

Claudia Molina: Claudia is an Exercise TV Trainer (as you can tell from her super-fit body!) so of course, she wears a tight-fitting mini dress showing off her best assets. There's nothing wrong with the dress, I think it's the combination of the dress, PLUS those Jessica Simpson-looking platform heels PLUS the big hair, PLUS the orange nail polish PLUS the big dangling earrings...that makes her look a bit Choncheey (translation: tacky-licious).

Lourdes Stephen: Presenter and Moderator of Univision's very popular "Sal y Pimienta" (Salt & Pepper") TV Show, Lourdes also wore an orange-hued dress. It featured a silk shantung-looking fabrication with a "bra-top" and flared skirt connected by illusion nude mesh. It was a bit too "Prom & Pageant" for me--and very, very "Figure Skating Costume".

Marjorie De Sousa: Marjorie is a Venezuelan telenovela actress and she wore an orange bustier with tropical printed flared skirt, orange earrings, multicolored bracelets and purple, pink and gold heels. It's A LOT of look. I think this is fine if you're one of the contestants for "Miss Venezuela" and this is your "Presentation Outfit" (it all fits her very nice and looks almost custom-made) but she looks a bit "Vanna White in Kauai" in this.



Shorts Happy:

Shorts and Rompers are BIG for Summer 2013 so it was no surprise to see some of them at Thursday night's "Premios Juventud 2013" alfombra roja (red carpet). Two ladies who wore shorts were Eiza Gonlalez (above) and Audris Rijo (below). The very cute Eiza is a Mexican actress and singer and she wore a gold-and-creme jacket-and-shirts with a bra-top outfit and then over-accessorized it with a BUNCH of necklaces, pearls and one big ol' crystal cross. While the look is very Dolce & Gabbana runway from several seasons ago, it seems a bit too over-styled. And the red peep-toe heels with the outfit don't make any sense.

Audris Rijo: Audris (above in the white romper look) is a beauty pageant winner of Miss Turismo Dominicana 2009 (Miss Dominican Republic Tourism) and the First runner-up at this year's Nuestra Belleza 2013.  We can tell that the "Beauty Pageant' girl is still 110% in her system. Just look at that perfect pose and THAT hair! The latter was my problem with Audris' look. I like the romper and those shoes; they're both cute. But her "Miss Universo" up-do bun is waaaay too fancy for this casual-chic outfit.



Uh-Oh Printed Mijas:

Erika Buenfil: Erika is a "Grand Dame" of telenovelas (as opposed to all those other little girls running around). She starred in her first ever soap opera in 1977! This Mexican actress is SUPER well-known, super wealthy and has received many awards and accolades. Now, someone of her stature and fame, should be able to work the red carpet in a Gucci or Elie Saab dress (even if her stylist couldn't get them for free, Erika could afford one...or TEN for that matter). But she chose to wear this frumpy and Mumsy printed dress that makes her look as if she's going for a tea party or brunch. I expect more "Diva"-like looks from La Buenfil. Just sayin'

Printed Chicas: Now, don't get me wrong I LOVE me a PRINT but sometimes, prints are tricky to wear on the red carpet and these two examples show us why...Let's begin with Danna Garcia (above): Colombian telenovela actress Danna Garcia is so stunning (like a young/modern Liz Taylor)! I like that she "stepped outside the box" with this tropical printed bustier and high-waisted pants. I just feel she should have had just ONE item printed--the top--and then worn solid colored pants. And speaking of the printed pants. I don't like how there's a "Bulls Eye"-like print RIGHT on her "Lady Region". It's NOT CUTE.

Rebecca Marie Gomez (right): Known better as rapper/singer/YouTube sensation "Becky G", 16 year-old Rebecca does look young and fresh in this look, but again, it's too mucheey print. This time around, I would have kept the pants but given her a solid (navy colored) tank top. Done and done. And lose the neck pin; that's so 1993 and not in a good 90s Retro way.



Finally...

Marc Anthony and girlfriend Chloe Green: Marc looks fine in his well-fitting tuxedo. I only wish he had not unbuttoned soooo many buttons on his shirt. I love a plunging neckline on a guy but...MIJO! It's Miss Chloe who belongs in this "Oh No!" group. She is the Heiress to Topshop. Yes kids, that FABULOUS UK brand and well, how could she look like this? Especially those platform heels of hers. Can you say "Que TACKY??!!" I can.

Couple Dont's: Radio personality Raul Brindis (left) showed up with his date at "Premios Juventud 2013". Nothing wrong with Raul, he looks quite sharp and right for the event. It's his date that's the problema. She looks like the Hostess at Yamashiro's.  And speaking of problems: On the right are Universal Music Latino recording group Domino Saints. He looks fine for the event; very Rock-&-Roll Lite--"Hipster Latino". It's her--when you wear a dress that says "What Is Your Problem" emblazoned on the front, you've got a PROBLEM. Does she really want me to answer that question?



***Up Next: THE "Uh Oh!" MEN of "Premios Juventud 2013" Red Carpet: The "Ayyy Mijo's!"!!

Who Wore What?....."Premios Juventud 2013" Red Carpet: The "Bueno/OK" Muchachas y Muchachos, the Mejor Vestidos (Best Dressed)

Pitbull and J Lo performing at Univision's "Premios Juventud 2013", BankUnited Center Coral Gables Florida

Thursday night were the Premios Juventud 2013, which occurred at the Bank United Center in the outskirts of Miami Florida (Coral Gables to be exact). Premios Juventud (translates into "The Young/Youth Awards") are roughly like the "Teen Choice Awards" but a bit more cool and yes, with a HECK of A LOT more Salsa, Chimichurri and all that spicy stuff! The highlights included Pitbull (looking dapper as always--very "Resort Pitbull") and Miss J Lo performing, as well as her ex--44 year-old Marc Anthony--showing up on the red carpet with his 22 year-old girlfriend Chloe Green (Oh Dear, can you say "Mid Life Crisis"!).

The awards show aired on Univision to AMAZING ratings. Just in case you didn't know, according to Deadline Hollywood, the show made the Univision Network No. 2 behind CBS in total viewers for the night and
the three-hour broadcast No. 1 in the adults 18-49 demo. In the demo it beat originals from ABC’s Motive, Wipeout and Rookie Blue, CBS’ Big Brother, NBC’s The Winner Is… and Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen.
The awards show was top rated in primetime in Los Angeles, New York,
Miami, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, and Sacramento. Among U.S. Hispanic
viewers, it beat the combined totals for the most recent American Music
Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Golden Globes. So, in other words, DON'T MESS with the Latinos and especially with the Premios Juventud! Soon, you'll be seeing gringos like Taylor Swift and Lord Knows Who trying to get themselves on this show (I hope not!).

"Chica Orbit" Rosario Abarca(in Nick Verreos-designed dress) and Nick Verreos--Premios Juventud 2010

But moving on...I have had the pleasure of attending several "Premios Juventud" in the past when I was the "Orbit Gum"/Chica Orbit Fashion Spokesperson and created and designed several looks for the "Chica Orbit" since Wrigley's and Orbit Gum was a sponsor. Now, speaking of looks, it's time to discuss the "Premios Juventud 2013" red carpet ...Estan Listos? (Are you ready?) Let's begin with the "Bueno" and I'll do a "Ayyy Mija!" and "Ayyy Mijo!"  posting afterward of course!



The Bueno/OK...

Jennifer Lopez: During her "Premios Juventud 2013" performance to a medley of her hits "On The Floor", "Dance Again" and "Don’t Stop the Party" performance, she wore this hand-applied sequin applique black-and-nude jumpsuit from Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014--This couture catsuit probably would cost about $40,000+ (if one would be wealthy enough to order it)--Miss J Lo got it made to her size at probably no fee darlings.

Zuhair Queen: J Lo also wore this creme and gold sequin mini dress from Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 to get her "Icono Mundial" (World Icon Award) and "Actriz Que se Roba la Pantalla" (Actress Who Steals the Screen award) at last night's "Premios Juventud 2013".



The Good Minis:

Alejandra Espinoza: The first "Nuestra Belleza" beauty queen winner (back in 2007) (and Olivia Culpo "Miss Universe 2012" doppelganger) wore a bubblegum pink-colored taffeta MICRO-mini dress. Her body looked SLAMMIN' and I liked the color. I thought the dress was waaaay too short but yes, she looked muy caliente--in a good way. Her nude tacky platforms are a throw-back to her old pageant days FOR SURE!

Antonietta "Tony" Collins: Pageant-posin' Antonietta--who is an anchor with Univision Deportes (Univision Sports) broadcaster/anchor--looks very pretty in this blue-and-silver sequined mini dress. I like the dress and its backless detail. It's not too Hoochie but still packs a nice "Premios Juventud"-red carpet punch. And PS: the Pageant Pose IS SLAYING ME!

Jessica Sanchez: 11th Season "American Idol" runner-up Jessica Sanchez was invited to Univision's "Premios Juventud". Jessica is half Mexican-Amercian (her father) and half Filipino (her mother). I was a fan of her coral colored skin-tight dress. It was "Herve Leger"-Lite. Great color, good nude heels and perfect accessories.

Maite Perroni: Mexican singer and telenovela actress Maite looked very cute in this gold sequined top and orange/coral colored draped mini look. The simple clean hair looks great and her gold clutch and cuff are perfect accessories. If there was any misstep are the UBER stacked platform heels. The nude color is good, they're just too Drag Queen high.

Lucero: Mexican singer, actress SUPERSTAR Lucero attended "Premios Juventud 2013" in this ivory applique dress with a key-hole detail and slight hi-lo hem. I thought it was an original dress, it really highlighted her statuesque figure. It wasn't too mini but still showed off those great legs of hers. And PS: LOVED the multicolored heels; very on trend!

Thalia: Blonder-than-Ever Latina Superstar Thalia, wore a sari-styled mini white dress to last night's "Premios Juventud 2013". It was fine with me. It just seemed so "there"; I just wish her stylist would reach out to all the top brands, especially Gucci, McQueen , Dior, etc. and see if they would lend her something more "High Fashion". Or at least, have her stylist call me, I'll lend her a FAB sexy COUTURE dress from my high-end NIKOLAKI line.



The Good Flared Girls:

Satcha Pretto: Honduran journalist and co-anchor of Univision's "Despierta America" looked FLAWLESS at Thursday night's "Premios Juventud 2013" red carpet. One of the BEST dressed! Love this flared ivory silk dress with organza insets. Her simple yet elegant side swept hair was perfect and so were her minimal nude-colored accessories.

Mini Flared: TV and Radio Personality Argelia Atilano (left) and former Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera (right) both wore short flared mini dresses. Argelia was right ON TREND with her neon "highlighter yellow" dress with metallic skinny belt. Former "Miss Universe" Zuleyka, on the other hand, wore a TOO-SHORT printed flared style. If I had to choose a winner, it would be Argelia. Zuleyka's is MUY MUY short.



Los Hombres Good:

Cristian de la Fuente (with daughter Laura) and Casper Smart: Chilean-American and "Dancing With The Stars Season 6" star, de la Fuente looked elegant in his navy blue jacket, lilac dress shirt and flat-front slacks look. His daughter Laura looked very cute in her pink dress and gold fashion high-tops. Jennifer Lopez' main squeeze Casper looked fine in his green suit and dark navy dress shirt. He gets "Atta-Boy" points for looking sharp.

Jason Canela: Exotically handsome telenovela Cuban-American actor Jason Canelas looked as if he was on an Italian Riviera Holiday with his white shirt, blue-grey jacket and pink/coral jeans look; I loved this outfit on him, Jason looked young, cool and Euro Sport dressed-up.

Sebastian Rulli: Mexican-Argentine actor Sebastian Rulli (right) also looked very "Italian Riviera Holiday" at "Premios Juventud 2013" in his white dress shirt, white slacks and navy blue jacket outfit. I thought it was very elegant. I just don't know about his "plastic-looking hair" look.

Maxi Iglesias: Spanish actor/model Maxi looked so cute in his light orange shorts and baby blue jacket look at "Premios Juventud 2013". Si, it was MUY casual, but I kinda liked it: I do think that this would be a perfect outfit for a special pool party in the Hamptons, but for the "Premios Juventud" red carpet, he might have wanted to be a bit more dressed up.

 Marc Anthony and his girlfriend Chloe Green: Marc Anthony looks good--elegant, sleek (maybe button one more button Marc--It's a bit plunging!) but...because of her, they belong in my next post...the "Ayyy Mija!" and "Ayyy Mijo!" (What is with those Stripper HEELS!!!???)...
