What singer whose real name is Stacy Ferguson was spotted wearing MC Hammer pants in London?
Fergie’s sampling from ’90s rapper MC Hammer, but not on the music front. The singer — real name Stacy Ferguson — was spotted rocking “Hammer pants” on her way to a London studio earlier today for a session with her hip-hop group, the Black Eyed Peas. The iconic-for-their-cheesiness parachute-style pants have been creeping back into fashion over the past year, making the odd appearance on runways and fashion-forward starlets, notably Naomi Campbell. Of course, on the catwalk, they’re known as “harem pants.” The pants broke through back the ’70s, when breakdancers — searching for roomy, functional clothes — were spotted wearing them in new York. But it was rapper MC Hammer, of course, who made parachute pants “legit” for the mainstream in the late ’80s. Fergie’s cropped bottoms fall short of Hammer’s style. Her trousers are too fitted to have old school appeal, and the glamorous singer looks more like a penguin than a fashionista. We’re sorry to drop the hammer like that, Fergie, bu
