Lace disgrace

Nelson Mandela is turning 90 next month. So, earlier this week, singers, athletes, and stars gathered at London's Hyde Park for a fund raising dinner to honor the former South African president. Robert DeNiro was there. So was Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, and Pierce "Eternally Hot" Brosnan (so hot).

Somehow, the Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger clawed her way into the star-studded affair. And she wore this:

Um, come again? Who shows up at the birthday fete of one of history's most vaunted figures in a lacy, peek-a-boo top? Maybe Nicole lost a contact lens and thought "Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday party" on the invite actually said "Meeting of the Madonna World Fan Club." Hey, it could happen to anyone.

Talk about disrespect. Don't cha wish girlfriend had a touch of class?

I can only guess what you thought of Naomi Campbell.

"vaulted"? I believe you mean "vaunted". Good photo of a crappy fashion choice - is she an attention hog?

Hi David: This is Courtney. You are absolutely right about "vaunted" -- thanks for the catch.

To be fair, I'd wager that's the classiest thing she owns.

It's hardly surprising that a woman who made her name first as part of a burlesque act and then for singing a song which certainly isn't an ode to fidelity might lack a basic level of class and restraint.
