Jaslene Gonzalez led a pack of bellos modelos last week during the taping of MTV Tr3s’ Fashionista, proving why she was indeed voted America’s Next Top Model. Her walk was so serious that her shoe went flying at one point. Talk about fierce!

We know fashion trends can be frustrating for Latinas. You can’t always have your tres leches cake and eat it too. We caught up with Jaslene backstage -while ordering one of her many meals- to get some style tips for the average Latina that might not be blessed with the boricua’s uber-fast metabolism!

When it comes to style, Latinas have to embrace their curves! I know that sounds funny coming from me, cause I am so flaca but I love our curves. Style comes from being comfortable in your own skin, so you have to embrace who you are and work with what you have. Stop trying to look like someone else! There is no need for that. When you accept yourself and embrace your unique qualities then beauty radiates from within.

Aww que cute! She sounds like an after school special.

Gracias por los consejos, Jaslene. Imagínate — a model that eats, and stays tan chiquita. La flaca is articulate, too!

Catch more of Jaslene when MTV Tr3s Fashionista airs on August 16th at 2PM EST.

What a weekend! Our heads are still spinning from MTV Tr3s Fashionista, an upcoming style special that taped last Friday for a premiere on August 16th at 2PM EST. NYC was the place to be el viernes pasado — you couldn’t move an inch without bumping into a hot model (ANTM winner Jaslene chowing down on not only tacos, but mcdonalds AND espaguetis), hot Latin artist (Pitbull checking out VJ Karli’s pedicure job) or host (LBoogs and Natalie Martinez shaking sus caderas in a cha-cha face-off between takes).

Among racks of ropa both couture and casual we ran into R&B singer Lloyd, whose performance of “Girls Around the World” featuring Pitbull was a highlight of the event. Before we could squeeze in any preguntas, we caught Mr. 305 schooling Lloyd on rolling his “rs.” Adorned in Dolce & Gabanna ATL native Lloyd told us that the key to having style is really about one thing:

Style is just all in the swagger. It’s not about the name brands, it’s not about the expense of the clothing, it’s just about the way you wear it. My own style consists of just configuring my outfit in wacky ways.

Sounds good to us. Lloyd also shared that he has a fetish for cute feet and doesn’t wear a shirt much in the summer — exposing his 30+ tattoos (no complaints here). At present the single crooner is promoting his album Lessons on Love and searching all around the world for the right gal.

MTV Tr3s Fashionista showed off the flyest fashion trends, from urban to sophisticated chic, on the flyest models, including featured catwalkers Jaslene Gonzalez and Danity Kane diva Aubrey O’ Day. Male and female models strutted their stuff to live performances by Nina Sky, Kinky, RKM & Ken Y, Lloyd and Pitbull. MC-ing the event were Sucker Free Latino’s L.Boogs and Natalie Martinez, of Fashion House and JT music video stardom.

Until its August 16th premiere, peep some pics from the event to satiate your style appetite.

Is Jaslene heartbroken since the dissolution of her relationship with rapper Yung Berg? The twenty-two year old pair had been dating for the last two months but broke up because Jaslene couldn’t put her ex-novio in check. He kept calling and texting despite her ignoring all his efforts. Ay, of course he misses what he had, especially since the ANTM alum is still heating up the runway and red carpet.

No te preoccupes mija, there will be someone else to take Yung Berg’s spot muy pronto! Catch the Chi-town native as she catwalks her fine Boricua stuff for MTV Tr3s Fashionista, a fierce fashion show packed with designers, performers and models airing August 16th at 2PM EST. [Lossip]

We cannot get enough of the cha-cha diva Jaslene Gonzalez around la oficina. Lucky for us she’s been making her rounds on the scene recently. Yesterday the Boricua bombshell attended VitaminWater’s “Best in Baseball and Music” party, hosted by The Mets’ David Wright and The Red Sox’s David “Big Papi” Ortiz. The blowout, which was held at the fab Hudson Terrace in New York, got baseball aficionados revved up for the big MLB All-Star Game today. VitaminWater schooled us on how to throw una fiesta exitosa — take some fine models, pepper in algunos atletas guapos and add party-pumpin’ beats from the likes of DJ Samantha Ronson and 50 Cent.

Peep more pics from the event, including snaps of Jaslene, Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and Chace Crawford, and our very own Hills princesa Lauren Conrad.
