From LaQuan Smith and Melody Ehsani---Designer LaQuan Smith took to his Facebook to give us a sneak peek of what to expect at this year's Rip the Runway. Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks is the latest celebrity to wear his hot pink tennis dress from his Spring 2011 collection. It makes me wonder if this dress was the official "uniform" for the hosts as Nicki Minaj wore a modified version at last year's Rip the Runway. She paired his LQS creation with patent nude pumps and jewelry from Melody Ehsani:

I've been really feeling Amber Riley lately - and her photoshoot by famed photographer Derek Blanks in Essence Magazine's "Black Women in Hollywood" Issue was so fabulous (but where are her knees?) that it inspired this post. If you have a similar figure, this sequin Silver Coin Dress ($450 for sizes 0-8, $525 for sizes 8-12) by LaQuan Smith will look just as tantalizing on you as it does on Amber. I think the strappy byzantine heels are a nice touch too - I'm happy that they didn't go with basic black! If you want to order this dress, contact Kelly.
Amber Riley is "every woman" here!

This dress was originally custom made for Nicki Minaj by designer LaQuan Smith. If you love the dress, please know that it will be available Spring 2011 as a part of his Hard Candy Collection. Save his website to your bookmarks because once this dress hits the 'net, it's going to be sold out. Good thing it's a part of his lower priced LQS line, right?

Check out Cassie in the Strawberries and Cream design below. She wore it last night at a party she hosted at 1Oak:
