Best Use of a Previously Worn Wedding Dress

June 12, 2012 by WendyB

Rapper Nas posed with his ex-wife Kelis’s green wedding gown on the cover of his new album.

Click for the full story on Necole Bitchie.

Gotta love a fashion statement like that.

Nas and Kelis "in happier days," as the gossip rags say. Click for photo source.

While I’m amused by Nas’s recycling of the gown, I’m on Team Kelis, as far as music goes. She has a lot of good songs, but I think this is my favorite … because I’m bossy!

I miss the rainbow ‘fro Kelis had when she released her first album in 1999.

I had some fun with my own hair color yesterday, when superstar hairstylist Julie Matos spray-painted it silver and gold. Here’s a peek.

From my Instagram.

You’ll see more photos of it soon!

    You are too much. One minute you’re eating sunny side up eggs like a regular person and the next minute you’re fashion fast forward spray painting your hair silver and gold! I bet your new hair do looks great with your jewelry.

      Sadly the color is already washed out — I would have liked to wear it for a week!

    Can’t wait to see more pics of your hair!

    I donated both of my wedding dresses (reception/ceremony) to a local theater. My cupcake dress was worn in a production of Cinderella!

    What did you do with Liza Minelli? Seriously, you’ve got such a beautiful face you’d suit any hairstyle, but I really can’t wait to see more of this one!

    Silver and gold hair? That’s wonderful! I see from your above comment that the colour has gone already, but there’s always next time…

    Were you channelling Edie for your silver and gold hair? Because that would be an awesome Halloween costume!

    Actually, it would be just awesome for everyday, period.

      Good point! Never thought I could do Edie for a costume…now I know I can!

    Kelis’ hair matches her dress!

    Is Nas sitting there wondering if he’d look better in that dress than Kelis?

      Maybe he already tried it on and KNOWS he looks better! 😉
