How is everyone’s week going? It was relatively quiet on the fashion front this week. Save for a few glamorous ensembles, everyone kept it low key and casual.

Check out some of this week’s hottest looks:
Nicki Minaj is always in a league of her own, demonstrated by a patent leather bomber with polka dot tights, a harness dress, and buckle boots she wore outside her London hotel. Both Jessica White and Leona Lewis went glam in floor-length gowns, while Rachel Roy opted for the same silhouette in a Spring-perfect hue. Nicole Richie and Jessica Alba chose structured, black looks, while Marlo Hampton was spotted in flowy silhouettes that she uplifted with accessories from Missoni, Yves Saint Laurent, and Prada. Last but not least were Rihanna, Rashida Jones, Drake and Sofia Vergara, who kept it casual in jeans.
Rachel Roy’s chic dress was a hit! Her look is this week’s winner in my book.
Who had your favorite looks this week?

I’m in love with Nicki Minaj’s boots, but Rita Ora and also Rocsi did it for me this time. I come to love Rita Ora more and more now!
April 19, 2012 10:16 am
Drake is lucky I like him a lot, cus
April 19, 2012 10:28 am
Drake gives the weirdest looks…(he’s not cute). I like Nicole’s look the best. Marlo looks like a fool. Nicki and Rihanna both look crazy. Nicole killed them all.
April 19, 2012 10:28 am
Nicki Minaj and chic do not belong in the same sentence! That self-hatting woman needs to go somewhere. She is such a freak.
I LOVE Rita Ora’s banana shirt. Who is is by and is there an affordable option? Everything else about her outfit can go.
Whatever @ everyone else.

@kitty B – Rita boots are called “addict” by Kandee shoes (kandee shoes dot com)
April 19, 2012 10:30 am
ooops Kitty B said sunnies….lol….
April 19, 2012 10:57 am
I’m sorry, CHIC?
April 19, 2012 11:04 am
Nicole Ritchie looks so nice & classy….Love it!
April 19, 2012 11:28 am
@Mrs Windy City, it’s okay, but thank you :)
April 19, 2012 11:30 am
A lot of hmmms.
April 19, 2012 12:14 pm
Tika,I like the entire look!
April 19, 2012 12:18 pm
I love how Nicole Richie has transformed. My business is about improving women’s lives through being well dressed. People think its shallow but it truly isn’t how you look on the outside and greatly influence how you feel on the inside. She has grown but leaps and bounds.
Now on another note, Marlo! I am sorry but girlfriend be mad fly. She is an example of the other extreme using material items to mask the pain. Trust me I know that story old too well myself. I don’t need another designer bag, shoe, or watch 4 the rest of myself. It’s about finding a balance. Yes, i am having a struggle finding a balance myself but I am a work in progress.

Rachel does look good. I also dig what Drake has going on there, and I’m not usually a fan of his. Why is Tika so tiny all of a sudden?
April 19, 2012 12:36 pm
Rashida Jones’ outfit looks like something I wore in the fifth grade from walmart BLAH!
April 19, 2012 1:30 pm
Loved the shirt on Rita Ora. I’m bleh on the boots though.
April 19, 2012 1:32 pm
Loving Rihanna’s laid back look and Rita Ora’s look. Leona and Jessica White look nice all glammed up. This was definitely a slow week in fashion judging from these looks.
April 19, 2012 2:29 pm
@ Marthe
Where is Rocsi?…

Dear Fashion Bomb Daily Editors,
Costumes are not “fashionable” nor are they “chic.” We undersatnd that you have an admiration for Nicki Minaj, but to include her looks in a posting intended to inspire chic and fashion-forward ideas is questionable. If it were any other (ethnic) celebrity wearing such garb, you’d give them the once over and dismiss their “looks.” Please do the same to Ms. Nicki. Her looks are great for show but hardly belong on a blog dedicated to innovative fashion.
Thanks!

Nicki Minaj looks TERRIBLE and she always does. Her makeup is always flawless but she needs a new wig and she needs to try a new style!! I don’t even know why she was included in this post. Leona Lewis looked gorgeous as always. But, my fave look has to be Jessica White <3
April 19, 2012 3:48 pm
OMG! I am cracking up about the NICKI MINAJ COMMENT. You have to read YBF post on her crazy outfit. I read it to my husband and he asked did I write the comment. He thought it was on my blog. Ha Ha ha you guys have to head over to YFB website to see what Natasha wrote. Hilarious! No never include Nicki Minaj on my post. She a gimmick and a poor excuse for a role model. I appreciate the fact that you guys give feedback to Claire. But often those types of post are more about business sponsors less about readers. Ask Necole Bitchie She built a profitable site on KISSING THE BEHINDS OF URBAN CELEBRITIES.
April 19, 2012 4:02 pm
Nobody stood out to me this week. but for some reason I really like Tika’s look so I guess she would be my fave.
SN: I wish yall would stop telling Claire who not to post. Its her blog and she can post who she wants to! People and their unwarranted opinions -_-
April 19, 2012 5:00 pm
I swoon everytime I see Drake. I can’t help it. Judge me.
Tika Sumpter looks half way decent. That’s all.
April 19, 2012 11:49 pm
I like TIka’s look!
April 20, 2012 12:14 am
More Sofia please she is beautiful! Que hermosa!
April 20, 2012 6:55 am
This Week in Chic? I’d day Jessica White and Rita Ora look great, the rest are just page fillers
April 20, 2012 6:56 am
I wrote Jessica White but meant to say Tika Sumpter
April 20, 2012 12:33 pm
