last saturday, black eyed peas member will.i.am attended the 2011 nickelodeon kids choice awards in los angeles. he arrived at the orange carpet, wearing a checked blazer and waistcoat from vivienne westwood spring summer 2011, black t-shirt and denims, wacky fluorescent pink sunnies and christian louboutin studded freddy flats. i felt that the usually flamboyantly dressed will.i.am was rather subdued, nice but something seems to be missing. i thought the styling from the runway was great, it will be more exciting if will.i.am was styled that way too. what i love about the blazer, is that the waistcoat is sewn in. the 2-in-1 piece creates a layered look without the bulk, and great for warmer days. this seems to be a signature piece, and this style is reworked every season with different fabrics and prints.

the matching trousers, and a selection of the quirky vivienne westwood blazers are available online here. the studded shoes from christian louboutin were from previous seasons, so good luck finding them.
will.i.am also wore a pair of very fashion forward mykita x rad hourani special edition red frames. if there's anyone who can carry off these sunnies, it'll have to be him.
