Rihanna went for bright and bold for her video for single “What My Name?”
Where to begin? In addition to her fire engine red hair, she sports a striped cropped jacket and black and white shorts with multicolor trim. Key accents include cut off fishnet stockings, neon orange ankle socks, patent leather lace ups, and cascading necklaces:
Rihanna’s giving me a re-invented Madonna/Material Girl vibe that I dig. And she looks like she’s having fun:
What’s your verdict? Hot or Hmm….
One of the key trends this fall for makeup is a dark, vampy lip. Best thing about it is deep berry-colored lipstick looks surprisingly good on almost all skin tones. Plus it’s super versatile, rock your berry with anything from a neutral eye to a hot smoky eye.

Milan Fashion Week kicked off with a burst of color this season, especially with Frida Giannini’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection for Gucci. Models glided down the catwalk with gorgeous, red pedicures, accented by sky high stilettos. And despite the seriousness of the slicked back hair, the collection this season was nothing but.
The 70′s set the scene this season as jewel toned pieces made their way down the catwalk. Knee-length skirts paired with obi python belts and sexy low-cut tops flashed just the right amount of skin, leaving enough to the imagination.
Transitioning seamlessly from color to nude safari pieces didn’t seem too difficult a task for Giannini. Tassles were added for a bit of flair and a Morrocan-esque influence.
Who says black can’t be a spring color? When you have harem jumpsuits and fringed, embellished bodices as gorgeous as these, it would be difficult to turn either down.
The show closed with a few beautifully fringed dresses in bold colors and intricately detailed beading.
Giannini left all those shades of gray and minimalist silhouettes behind and offered us something vibrant and exciting to keep us on our toes. The collection has something for everyone, and each piece is nothing short of wearable. All-in-all, the versatility and cohesiveness of this collection ultimately makes this season a standout for Giannini. I’m definitely excited to see a few pieces on our fave celebs. I’m banking on Ciara copping those knee-high boots.

Today I decided to mix it up with male Fashion Bomber Marques, aka Quez:
He says, ” I am from Memphis, Tennessee, but currently in Iraq serving our wonderful ol’ country!”
” My style is a little essentric but well put together. I love my skinny jeans, scarves, and female accessories for some reason, lol.”
“I don’t go anywhere without my lipgloss and fragrance to fix myself up for a photo op.”

Happy Monday Bombsells!
I’m hopping on a plane to Paree (Paris) as we speak! I’m super excited to be covering the shows in one of my fave cities in the world. Before I go, though, had to give you a bit of Bombshell goodness, care of fabulous personal style blogger, Jazzi Mc G (www.jazzimcg.com).
The LA born, New York marinated fashionista has a fabulous style, which comprises a mix of vintage, DIY, and designer.
She says, “A description of my style is probably best left to someone else as I can never really pin one down.”
“It fluctuates with my mood (and my budget) so it’s a little random.”
“I know I love Diana Ross, Erykah Badu and Alice in Wonderland, but who knows if that translates style-wise.”
Gorgeous girl, top notch photography, great clothes…what more could you want?

They say, “She picked up her dress from a Midtown West boutique, and the feminine lace detail matches perfectly with her black knee socks.”
Love.it.

Vuitton here with the scoop on a few of our favorite celebs who showed and proved to us that they’ve still got it, while others should’ve gone back to the drawing board. Some kept it cool and casual while others opted for suits and glamorous gowns. Let’s take a look!
Amerie and her platinum blond locks performed at the 2010 Picture of Strength event in Chicago this weekend…
I’m not mad at her outfit in the least. I love the blazer and fitted jumpsuit belted at the waist. But hmm…the hair is wearing me thin. Not so much the color, but the style of it. I feel a color that bold needs a bold style too. Perhaps a la Uma Thurman in “Pulp Fiction”.
Kim Kardashian was spotted on the orange carpet at the Miami Dolphins vs the New York Jets season opener…
I love everything about the outfit. The strong shouldered blazer, the thigh high boots and the necklace all work for me here. Hot! But I wish she’d change it up a bit. It seems Kim always reaches for a blazer when she’s going for something casual.
Kid Cudi was mellowing out backstage before his performance at the Details at Midnight event…
It’s pretty obvious that the Kid has a great sense of style. Totally diggin’ the leather jacket and vintage tee. And of course, you have to include the Chuck’s. Dope! Now…if only we could put a trimmer to that beard of his.
Eva Longoria-Parker headed up north to Toronto to promote her new perfume “Eva”…
Eva looks nice and all, but hmm…shouldn’t one be dressed a little more sexy if promoting a fragrance? I feel like she’s going to a PTA gala here. A low neckline does some good every once in a while.
Another Eva…Mendes, that is, took to the red carpet at the PETA 30th Anniversary Gala…
And I swear, the woman looks more beautiful everytime I see her. She looks red hot here despite the simplicity of her dress. The silhouette skims her frame perfectly, and her makeup and hair are gorge.
Nicole Richie made her way down the carpet for the LACMA event over the weekend…
And took a risk while doing so. I do think the dress is beyond gorgeous, but perhaps it was a little too “beyond” for her. The tulle, the licorice-esque detail about the bodice and shoulder…to me, it’s a bit overwhelming for her petite frame. I would’ve also liked to see her hair just a bit more polished than it is here.
At the 32nd Annual Evening of Stars Event honoring Chaka Khan, Boris Kodjoe showed up to lend his support.
While I love the sheen of this suit, I wish it was a bit more tailored. And the tie he’s wearing seems to fade into his shirt. A black tie would’ve sufficed. B for effort when it comes to thinking outside the box.
Taraji P. Henson posed for a few shots at the same event…
Wearing a sleek asymmetric gown, the actress looks nothing short of hot! It fits her frame very well, and that red lip is giving me just what I need on a Monday morning.
Gorgeous songbird Melanie Fiona came though as well to honor the R&B Legend…
And I see someone’s been channeling her inner “Deena Jones”. Hmm…this dress is fine for a girls night or a disco themed party, but not a gala. And the big hair doesn’t help either. But we’re all allowed one mishap. Melanie’s definitely going to bounce back from this.
