    On the Scene: Selita Ebanks, Melanie Fiona, Lisa Bonet and More attend LA Confidential Presents: Shine On Sierra Leone 5th Annual Fundraiser

    by The Fashion Bomb Staff

    Some celebs came out looking fresh faced and beautiful last night to  support LA Confidential Presents: Shine On Sierra Leone 5th Annual Fundraiser, a benefit to help provide access to safe medical care for mothers and babies in Sierra Leone.

    Let’s see who shined on the red carpet shall we?


    Carol’s Daughter spokesperson and host of the  evening, Selita Ebanks, donned a stunning sheer green BCBG Max Azria gown, and looked every bit of the exotic goddess that she is. Her gold rope chain necklace with its ornate Indian style beading, along with her T-strap black sandals were to die for. And her skin. . .what a glow! Absolutely breathtaking!

    Melanie Fiona worked the red carpet in a billowy sheer white blouse with flared sleeves, paired with grey gaucho pants.  Her rainbow sandals, accompanied with her gold clutch added a fun color contrast to her classic ensemble. Her turquoise three-ring gave her outfit another pop of color.  Trés Chic!

    Although we’re not quite sure what to make of their look. . . Lisa Bonet and her scrumptious boyfriend, Jason Momoa, are quite the “rugged” pair. She in her retro over sized animal print fur bolero, and he in his distressed denim leather jacket.  Good looking couple though.

    Hill Harper played it cool in a black collar shirt and matching black jacket paired with dark denim jeans, nerd shades, and tangerine colored suede Adidas. Classic.

    Recording artist, CeCe Segarra, kept it flirty and fun in a form-fitting nude dress with velcro accents, along with a patent leather nude pump.

    Supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, (left) rocked a cute mauve jumpsuit with nude sandals, while Sierra Leone, Founder, Tiffany Persons, (right) wore a grey maxi dress with an African style bamboo necklace and matching earrings.

    So what do you think? Who rocked it last night?

    New ‘Dark Girls’ Documentary Looks at Black Women’s Struggles with Skin Tone

    by Claire

    A new documentary called, “Dark Girls” talks to several black women about their struggles with skin color.

    One girl says, “I used to wish I could wake up one day lighter. Or wash my face and think that it would change. I thought it was dirt and I tried to clean it off, but it wouldn’t come off.” Another said, “It was so damaging. It made us feel like we weren’t wanted. That we were less than.” In a really surprising snippet, a teacher asks a young girl to look at a spectrum of girls from very light to very dark, and pick out which girl was, “smart and pretty” and which one was, “dumb and ugly.” The child confesses she thinks the light girl is smart and pretty “because she’s white,” and the dark girl is dumb and ugly, “because she’s black.” Wow.
    Watch it here:

    I was actually sitting with a non black friend when I saw Jezebel tweet about this story. She asked me if I’ve ever struggled with low self esteem because of my skin color. I had to admit that I hadn’t…I’d classify my coloring as caramel, somewhere in between light and dark. I’ve always had confidence in my skin and my hair…and thankfully was never teased about either as a young child. I know depending on where you live kids can pick on and poke fun at you. But growing up I was always in private school where there were 15-20 black kids tops (out of like 400 white kids). My black friends and I were so happy to have each other, we never picked up on each other’s skin colors and our different gradations. In college I did notice, however, that some black guys preferred lighter skinned girls with long hair–which was definitely hurtful at times. But by that time I was able to brush it off, confident in myself and in the fact that they were idiots:)
    What about you?

    Real Style: Style Week Jamaica’s All White Party

    by Claire

    Hey!
    So Jamaican Style Week is in full swing! The launch party went down last night at the UDC Southern Carpark on Ocean Boulevard. With a dress code that called for pure white tropical elegance, you know people showed out!
    Take a look at a few of the fab attendees:

    Maya (left) and designer Juliette Dyke (right) looked super cute in their feathered hats and fascinators. Triple snaps for Maya’s asymmetrical hem and Juliette’s loose fit frock. Check out Juliette’s designs at www.julanscloset.com.

    Harlem Designer Samantha Black of Sammy B Designs (who we wrote about here) is in town. She showed off her svelte body in a crochet white dress and a pop of red lip.

    This lovely young lady worked it in a halter neck floor grazing gown with sheer details. Doesn’t she look ready for a beauty pageant? Gorgeous!

    Not to be overlooked were the men, who seemed to take a page out of the Fashion Bomb Style Inspiration series in optic white suits. The young man on the right is Kanhai Condison, an actor, film writer, model, talent agent, and image consultant.

    These lovely ladies were sitting pretty in jumpsuits and pants and tank combos.

    And on my way out, I stopped these two pretty young things who were working black and white outfits. Isn’t homegirl on the right giving a little Kimora vibe?

    At any rate, it was a fun night!

    Stay tuned for more pix and instances from my trip to StyleWeek Jamaica.

    What do you think of Real Style thus far?

    Smootches!

    Splurge: Halle Berry’s Fifi Awards Halston Spring / Summer 2011 Black Cutout Dress

    by Claire

    Max says, “I’m in LOVE with this cut out dress Halle Berry wore to the FiFi Awards. It’s the perfect thing to show off my newly-toned abs this summer.”

    “… I’m sure it’s dumb expensive; but can you tell me who made it and recommend something similar but affordable?”
    Halle graced the red carpet for the FIfi Awards in Christian Louboutin Anna sandals and a black cutout dress from Halston’s Spring/Summer 2011 runway:

    Though her exact dress isn’t available for purchase, you can get the look with this $1,695 Halston Cutout jersey-twill one-shoulder dress:

    Too pricey? We found you several options for less:

    Video Style Inspiration: Rihanna in California King Bed, Kelly Rowland in Motivation, and Keri Hilson in Lose Control

    by The Fashion Bomb Staff

    Hey!
    Today we have posts from our last intern contestant, Intern 4. Enjoy!
    *******************************************************************************************
    How many times have you watched your favorite music video and fallen in love with an outfit that was either too expensive or too outrageous to wear for the average person? I have picked out outfits from Rihanna’s video for California King Bed, Kelly Rowland’s video for Motivation, and Keri Hilson’s video for Lose Control and made them into more wearable and affordable options.

    California King Bed:


    For a comfortable day time look inspired by Rihanna’s California King Bed, pair a frilly tank top with skinny jeans. Instead of pumps, wear either sandals or wedges and finish the look with girly accessories and neutral makeup.

    Shop for the California King Bed look below.

    More Topshop…
    ShopStyle

    Motivation:


    Enjoying a day at the beach? Wear a bold purple one piece with a black cover up and accessorize with silver jewelry inspired by Kelly Rowland’s look in Motivation. While Kelly wore the outfit with black knee high boots, you can also pair it with comfortable sandals.

    Shop for the Motivation inspired outfit below.

    More Miraclesuit…
    ShopStyle

    Lose Control:

    Keri Hilson recently released her fourth single Lose Control from her album No Boys Allowed. For a night time style similar to Keri Hilson’s in the picture above, wear a black tank with chunky necklaces. Pair it with a playful spin on the traditional leather jacket, dressy shorts and knee high boots.

    Looks inspired by Lose Control can be bought here.

    Do you bombers and bombshells think music and fashion are connected? What other music videos have inspired your outfits?

    Stay Beautiful,

    Intern 4
