Remembering Naya Rivera

If you scroll back through the archives of Yow Yow! then you would know that we loved watching Glee. I still remember being one of the few people in my friend group that was watching the pilot when it first aired and how I felt a little dorky watching it, but loved it all the same. It was the kind of show that you would watch because you couldn’t wait to see what songs they’d cover next. It wasn’t a perfect series, though. In recent weeks, we’ve seen coverage of problematic storylines coming up as well as how actors and actresses behaved towards each other. All of that doesn’t matter this week though. The series has lost their third regular from the show in a tragic accidental drowning. Naya Rivera was iconic in her role as Santana Lopez – a woman of color and a lesbian. Characters like her on television were few and far between, but she was far more than these labels. She was extremely talented as a singer, performer and of course, a mother. Here are a few of my favorite Santana performances from the series.

Rose Byrne in Elie Saab Couture

I was actually impressed by most of the looks I saw on the red carpet this year at the 2012 SAG Awards -more so than the Golden Globes. Rose Byrne, Michelle Williams, Emma Stone  were some of my favorites! I absolutely loved how Rose Byrne opted for a jumpsuit instead of a gown. It’s a risky choice, but the actress pulled it off. Also, her haircut is adorable with the look.

2011 Golden Globe Awards

Olivia Wilde in Marchesa

Chocolate brown and gold sequins are the perfect combination for this Golden Globe gown. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Olivia look this good! I also loved that she wore her hair down with her bangs since we are typically used to seeing it done up.
