Really Romeo? You're Master P's son which means you have money to burn yet a polo shirt (with wrinkled collar), acid washed jeans and a huge contraption (which I'm guessing is a cell phone holster) dangling from your hip was the best you could come up with?
My Critique: If you're gonna rock a polo, lose the tee-shirt underneath and make sure the collar is starched. And you're nolonger a teen so a pair of sleek laceups and more fitted jeans would've been a more mature choice while not being at all stuffy. Lastly nix the shades and b-ball cap, it's been done before.

Smh... First off, dude looks like an off-duty GI Joe on his way to perform at a strip club. Anytime a man over the age of 13 deems it okay to appear at a nationally televised event with his underwear in plain view it's a sign that he's experiencing some hard times (how many years has it been since his last album?...)
My Critique: Let ya Mama see you before you leave the house! I can assure you that such a wardrobe misstep wouldn't have occured if Mama Polite had've given him the once-over prior to his arrival to the show.

There's been quite a bit of noise on facebook concerning Drake's new haircut, it looks like he's going for curls minus the fade and line-up, however my concern is with what's beneath his dome. Besides the fact that I'm seeing black AGAIN, his ensemble is way to basic. The shirt looks sorta cheap and the fit of his pants is, well, horrible. I must give him credit for the shoes though, they're unique and guess what? It adds a splash of COLOR!
My Critique: Opt for a shirt of higher quality with a more tapered fit and a more substantial collar. Lastly, either buy pants that actually fit without all the bagginess and bunching or simply take them to a tailor.

Black fedora, black shades, black tee, black beaded necklace, black bomber jacket, black & gray sneakers, did any of these fellas realize it's June and therefore hot outdoors? I don't have much to say about Ne-Yo's look other than the fact that it's extremely one-dimensional.
My Critique: the bomber jack has become the new blazer for men under 30. It has a great fit and it's cropped just low enough at the waist to keep it looking hip, however, since it's such a commonly worn piece you should step it up with a vibrantly colored tee or a bold button-down with a skinny knit tie. I'm diggin' the white pants but a woven belt in a cool eye-catching color would've been so much more interesting than the white-on-white that's going on here.

Mr. Laz Alonso, I'm rather surprised at him for wearing such an ill-fitting suit when he's initially from corporate America. I've always respected this dude because he has that 'everyman' appeal; I can see him as an executive, store manager, garbage man, pretty much any role suits him which I think has worked to his advantage as an actor. But sadly, the buck stops there!
My Critique: I'm sick of guys in wacked-out suits, take it to a tailor! Trim the sleeves down to where they skim the arms neatly, the jacket should hit just below your hip, bulky laceups are a
no-no, your pants shouldn't have 5 extra inches of break at the ankle and the only time you should be wearing your top button undone while wearing a tie is if it's a skinny collar with a skinny tie. Button it up.

Most women in America feel as though Boris Kodjoe can do no wrong and I must side with you guys, but only about his wardrobe. His ensemble is dark and has no pop of color anywhere but what it lacks in vibrance it makes up for in fit.
My Critique: I honestly have no critiques. Everything he's wearing is sleek, fits well and his shoes are impeccable (smooth and understated with a thin sole). I guess when you're this good looking it's hard to walk out of the house wearing just any ol' thing, right?

Hip-Hop artists tend to miss the sartorial mark when it comes to events where fiited hats, throwback jerseys and airforce 1s aren't necessarily acceptable but to be quite honest, I have yet to see Nelly in attire that's tasteless. As I draw my mind back I realize that whenever he's on the red (or green) carpet he looks put together and I can say the same for him here.
My Critique: I'm loving the quality of his shirt's collar and the wide cuffs and extra gather in the sleeves give it a slightly old Victorian look. The vest fits well and the ashy, acid-washed gray jeans add to the casual feel of his look. I'm elated to see a pair of Converses being worn neatly instead of with the tongue flapping and the laces strewn about them. Nicely done Nelly, I give you an A+... but next time leave the key holder thingy hanging from your belt loop in the car.

My man Diggy Simmons aka up and coming style hound! I've admired his unique sense of style since Run's House was on the air; I've never seen a young Black male with such a passion for style and a rather good sense of fashion at such a young age. As soon as he designated Pharrell Williams as his fashion idol I knew this kid had a special eye for talent.
My Critique: Though his look followed the typical tone of the evening, his creme colored biker jacket was a nice break away from the usual white. I like the detailing down the side of the pant legs as well as the cool strap that's hanging from the waist in the front. Only a pair of high-top sneakers is the appropriate choice for a bold & funky look such as this and he chose right. My only criticism is homeboy's posture, didn't his Mama teach him not to slouch?!
