Fashion & Style

Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel wasn’t going to let her baby bump keep her from rocking the runway at the Heart Truth Red Dress Fall 2010 Fashion Show in NY last night. A benefit to raise awareness about women’s heart disease, the gala was a star-studded affair with everyone from Joan Collins to Jordin Sparks to Kim Kardashian strutting their stuff in a series of stylish outfits from different designers. “It’s fun and I love all the different fashion,” said show stealer Heidi Klum. “This is not modeling with a runway walk and a mean face. It’s a different feeling. It’s goofy, funny and you ham it up.” See who else did just that in the gallery below.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Divas are in the building! From Miley Cyrus’ twist on the Little Black Dress to Jennifer Hudson shimmering and Leona Lewis‘ lavender and black gown, the VH1 Divas red carpet was anything but boring.

Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, Adele, and Sheryl Crow hang out and have some fun with VH1 on the red carpet. No two divas are exactly alike, as these songbirds displayed with their very different red carpet choices. Adele went for all black, while Kelly Clarkson put a twist on the little black dress with her feathered shoulder. Jordin’s bejeweled dress shimmered while Leona and Sheryl went for a more regal look: Leona in a lavender gown with black corset and Sheryl in a crushed velvet dress. But Samsung DualView, who is the most fabulously dressed Diva of them all? Adele checks it out for herself by viewing the photos on the Samsung DualView’s front AND back LCD screens: the 1.5 inch front LCD screen and three-inch Touch Screen. Check out this Diva summit in exclusive photos captured by our VH1 blogger with his Samsung DualView camera!

Man, do these gals clean up nice. American Idol alums Jordin Sparks and Jennifer Hudson arrived early on the scene at tonight’s VH1 Divas concert and they both had a gorgeous shine going on. We are loving Jordin’s dress with a passion, but we think Jennifer - who gave birth only a month ago - looks pretty killer in this black and silver number, too. Which diva hits a higher note for you?

Check out Diva Jordin Sparks hanging out backstage before her big performance. Jordin considers being labeled a “Diva” phenomenal and let us in on a little Diva camaraderie where the Divas share information and she is “always learning tricks from girls I admire.”

Confession: We just recently hopped on the Jordin Sparks bandwagon after we heard “Battlefield” earlier this summer and then danced around Brooklyn for a month with it blasting on our iPod. Her latest single “S.O.S” is catchy and addictive (it samples that early ’80s classic “Let the Music Play” by Shannon), in that ‘I wanna get down to this all night on repeat’ sorta way. We’re hooked. Anyone wanna have a dance-off?

We just caught  the Idol winner’s rehearsal here at BAM and she rocked it. The girl’s got pipes, and she knows how to use ‘em. Not to mention, she’s completely adorable. We told you we were on the J-Sparks bandwagon! Check out a sneak peak of Jordin rehearsing this morning, workin’ it way before noon. No Diva hours for her! She’s a total professional.

This just in: Paula Abdul is set to host “VH1 Divas,” which will air live on Sept. 17 at 9PM EST! The singer, dancer and TV Personality is already an established diva - she’s got six number one singles under her belt, along with a Grammy and two Emmys. Oh, and did we mention she’s got almost a million Twitter followers hanging on to her every tweet?

In other awesome Diva news, Grammy-nominated starlet Jordin Sparks has been added to the star-studded Divas performer lineup. The “American Idol” winner sold more than two million copies of her first album last year, and her follow-up album, Battlefield, debuted in the Billboard Top 10. The super-star singer is currently taking the stage every night on tour with Britney Spears. Divalicious!
