Trina Pink Diamonds 1

Check out Trina rockin the jeans from her new line, Pink Diamonds:

“I have always imagined a clothing line that was high quality that I could offer to my fans, I love the way the jeans fit and feel. I spent a lot of time creating special details that are fresh and unique. The best part they look really expensive but are priced right.”

On the real, they look like they kinda have that “clearance rack” appeal. It’s not the most flattering look for Trina. Perhaps they ought to consider using a real model next time.

Update

Trina’s not the only one introducing a new line this week. LL Cool J has decided to bring his own unique brand of puff paint and rhinestone apparel to none other than the mecca of fashion themselves, Sears. Click here to read more about this milestone in fashion history.

    hmmmm… rite…

  • MsJuan

    1st!!!

  • MsJuan

    Or not… Anywho they look just “ok” nothing special even though Trina is still my biatch!!!!

  • Nana

    Yay I’m in the top five for once. Love the look Trina. Do your thang, the album is hot.

  • Southern Belle 225

    Um, no! Please tell me that this was photoshopped to make her ass look flat as hell! Those jeans DO NOT look good on her at all. It makes her ass look hella funny. I’ll pass!

  • uptowngirl

    the photo is not flattering at all. looks way cheap.

  • I’m Just Me

    I see stuff like this in Rainbow? I will have to examine them up close to tell whether or not I like them and would wear them, but they look pretty decent. Let’s just see what her definition of priced right is.

  • kigali

    Maybe if Trina was a Italian homosexual from Milan and selling these jeans we would have more appreciation for them. Alas, anything to do with a black person, especially a black woman, has to be met with disapproval and mockery.

    All that aside, they dont look like anything I havent seen a million times. good luck though.

  • glok9n

    THEY NEED TO USE A MODEL WITH A FAT AZZ,THIS BYTCH IS ALL LEGZ NO AZZ!!! SORRY TRINA ITZ NOT A GOOD LOOK DOLL!!!

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOW

    Uhhhhh…isn’t Trins known for her booty (among other unsavory things)? If she is she might want to re-think this promo shot cause her booty looks like an extended back…..smh

    She might want get her weight up (again)….

  • KENNEDY

    Damn,Kigali thats true about our people. However these jeans are a cheap, ugly mess.

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOW

    She might want *****to***** get her weight up again.

    –typo earlier

  • ~*~IslandNik~*~

    wow.. i thought she needed to lose some weight… her ass is too big to b taken seriously in a fashion ad… dont want to offend any1 tho.. but thas the truth

  • NOT MY JEANS

    She really isn’t built the best. No booty and no chest. The jeans are not that good. I don’t like the way they look. I have a small waist and a nice booty. THESE JEANS HAVE A WAL-MART TYPE LOOK to me! They do nothing to flatter her shape and I need jeans that are made for a REAL BOOTY. I think Deelishis’s jeans are the ones for me. Where can I get those?!!!

    I think Trian needs to focus on moving some units before she worries about other ventures. What savvy business person gave her the money to start a clothing line? The deserve the guarenteed loss of that initial investment that is surely coming.

  • casper

    BS is a ~~~how to say nice woman.she is wonderful in music.She was said to be fond of internet recently. Some of her fans found her on a interracial dating club +(((((((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m +)))))+.She has a personal account there with her pictures, blog and something about her albums…

  • Rika from the Block

  • http://baidu.com TREE

    She looks beautiful. I saw her profile on dating site “W e a l t h y L o v I n g . co m ” last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.

  • abc123

    Those pants look like they dont fit her…notice how they gap in the back. Not a good look.

  • abc123

    I could go to the GAP and find some pants to fit like that.

  • Chaka

    The wig is awful and the photography is not flattering. It doesn’t sell the jeans. I want to see curves! She is dead in the eyes and in the face. Tyra and Miss Jay would rip this to shreds on Top Model. Trina needs to rock a current hair style and dump all those stupid wigs and lace fronts. She needs more edge. She’s playing it too safe. I need to be her manager.

  • Lovely One

    I saw the jeans in person. They don’t look cheap. Granted they are not “Citizens” but I have to spend my money responsibly and I dont have $200 to spend on some damn jeans.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re

    Here we go again with the cheesy looking jeans. The yellow spaced apart stiching gives it the perfect cheesy look you’d find in Rave, or Rainbow stores.

    Pink Diamonds? Can you see yourself saying, “Hey girl, thx for the compliment, these are Pink Diamonds.”

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (fka Keepin’ It Real – D’Original)

    The weave distracts from her jeans and her a$$…

    It’s messed up because she’s known for her a$$ and it doesn’t even look good here…

    Try again Sweetheart:-)

  • http://www.anythingblack.net www.anythingblack.net
  • http://www.youheardthatnew.com Cannon

    Wait….where did Trina’s ass go?!?!

  • tintin

    @ cannon, i was wondering the same thing, where is all that ass of hers?

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    IDK Trina. Baby Phat and Dereon suck and these jeans doesn’t look any better.

  • Just_Wanna_Know

    Well at least Trina is trying. Who knows maybe as time goes on and she makes a little money from this clothing line the quality will get better. Or maybe she will expand to something else. Just give the girl a chance.

  • Valenne

    she does not look flat. If she had a belt, maybe her curves would be more obvious! And you guys know damn well that some jeans does not flatten our figures and sometimes, you look flat! So basically, this is not a good jean Trina! Those of delishious accentuate the curves, your jeans just erase them! Try again! But it is nice to try something different than showing your ass on magazine! I commend you for that!

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re

    I mean, I guess we should’ve expected this. Have you ever seen her dress really well? Beyonce is generally over-the-top, and take a look at House of Dereon…

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re

    Lol @ Valenne. Jerry Seinfeld dedicated a whole episode to exclamation points. You should take a look at it, when you get some free time. :-)

  • STEFANY

    Why can’t young black pepole find better business ventures outside of clothing or record lables…Everybody and their damn dog is trying their hand in fashion…We need to start investing in real estate, business franchises, and technology opportunities…That’s why Magic Johnson and Master P have been so successful, they know how to invest their in long term money making ventures…If half of these negros throwing their money away on music and fashion would invest back into black communities and black businesses maybe we could get somewhere.

  • nelle

    why does everybody think they they can start a clothing line??!! i wouldnt even wear these jeans though. i especially hate how the pockets look.

  • And…

    Wig & jeans w/studs – I’m in! Not.

    They’ll probably sell in Florida, I saw a woman in her mid to late 30′s Dereon down in Houston. I’m not gonna lie, she looked a mess, but she had on HOD everything.

  • And…

    The jeans probably look bad because they’re probably cheap & poorly made.

    All denim w/no stretch is a bad combination even if you have ass.

    It’ll just smash/flatten it or give you plumbers crack.

  • I’m Just Me

    The more I look the more I dislike. I am not sure who this type of jean is aimed at but I am in my mid 20′s (24) and I would not attempt to leave my house in those things. I went to Rainbow on my break and I promise these same jeans were in there. I asked if they were Pink Diamonds…they laughed out loud at that one :D

  • Valenne

    @ re,

    lol, i love exclamations point!

  • GO GETTA

    HER ASS LOOKS WACK IN THOSE JEANS.

  • Marquis de Sade

    Maybe Trina and Eve should pool their resources and design, market and sell their own stripper poles.

  • kigali

    She should definately get rid of the yellow stiching. She isnt dressing little girls after all.

    However I just went and looked at a pair of $200 Citizen of Humanity jeans and there wasnt anything special about them either. Give me a pair of Levis any day.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re

    @Kigali

    I co-sign. And they make my butt look great! Lol

  • Madame Enigma

    po thang…

    for real, it seems as though her looks went out the window

  • Nordstrom’s is having a Sale!

    What happened to her butt? It looks like it’s now running into her thigh no curvage back there.

  • riiiiiight

    I blame Mama Tina….

  • HONEYCHILE

    I do agree..Beyonce is my girl but House of Dereon stuff does look cheap. I catch it in Ross all the time, but n e how, Trina jeans looks like they are too tight on her butt, which makes her butt look squished instead of appealing & shapely…ALL MY BIG BOOTY SUSTAS KNOW WHAT I MEAN…

  • Simply Ecstasy

    Trina??? WTF??? Girl get rid of that racoon tail on your head and get off that water diet and eat some soul food so you can fill up those jeans like they supposed to be.

  • I AGREE

    I agree with “HoneyChile”. These jeans are not meant to flatter a knock-out figure like mine. I have a lovely round ass and a small waist and double-D’s to go with it all. I know I’m rocking and I buy jeans that DON’T look like these….YUK, YUK, YUK…

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    While its nice to see Trina doing something other than back shots, those jeans don’t compliment her figure. She is known for her butt, and these jeans flatten it out. Oh, yeah, I peeped that gap in the back, too. If she is gonna make a jean for the curvy woman, she should take notes from Deelishis and Nelly (apple bottoms) and do it right. That goes for Beyonce, too. Her jeans do weird things on curvy bodies.

  • HONEYCHILE

    IS IT JUST ME OR DOES TRINA AKA “THA BADDEST” HAS THIS CHEAP LOOK THING GOING ON?

  • http://myspace.com/chunkstarr Chunk*starr

    They do look a little Wal-Mart clearence rack like…maybe its the stitching? Or the Weave!

  • Delightful

    I like them, they look no different from regular clothes we wear now. Not too flashy, just right. I like Trina. Stop hating on her. It’s better than House of Don’t do it…. Now, on LL clothing line… I would pass only if it’s of reasonable cost, same as Trina’s line!!

  • WordzOfaProphet

    NO HOMO but where da hell is Trina’s ass. She already leader of da itty bitty comittee now she aint got no ass either………..wats really goin on???

  • itiswhatitis

    ya those jeans make her look like she has no a**
