Ah Bombshell of the Day.
Who knew such an innocent showcase of reader style could bring out the best and worst in us, fanning controversy, commanding criticism, and at times bubbling over with praise? Though the Fashion Bomb jury can be harsh, hundreds of you sent in your pictures on a daily basis, opening yourself up to what may be the internet’s most selective style judges. Only a handful of Bombshells stood head and shoulders above the rest, attracting more positive comments and choruses of ‘girl where did you get that?” than “girl, no!”

We had 14 nominations, but I whittled it down to 10 based on positive reader feedback and overall style.


Our nominees for Bombshell of the Day are: Gina from Boston, Gigi from DC, Lily from Vancouver, Nikole from LA, Brittainy from North Carolina, Alicia from LA, Whitney from Texas, Shanease from Atlanta, Tysha from Toronto, and Lori from LA.

You ready?

Let’s go:
1. Gina from Boston:

Gina’s style mantra was simple: “Everyday’s a party, I love to have fun and will try any and everything. Lots of color and lots of glam!”

The positive comments just wouldn’t quit. Keshia from Dallas said, “Two thumbs up! Work it!” and Diamond said, “Gina if I ever see you, I’m robbing you of your shoes!!”

2.Gigi from DC:

Reader Janay nominated her friend Gigi as Bombshell of the Day, saying, “Gigi is soo fly it’s crazy…”


Over 76 of you guys agreed, with BeautifulDaiDreamer saying, “She’s bad! And her skin is beautiful!” Ally gushed, “All I can say is WOW!” Wow is right.

3. Shanease from Atlanta:

Though Shanease cited Rihanna as a style muse, we could still see her personal style and flair shine through.

Readers were drooling over her dress game. L of Avid Accents said, “This girl is just too cute. She sticks to a few colors with each outfit and adds a little surprise like the animal print pumps and yellow nails. I likes.”

4. Lori from LA:

Lori was so good, she appeared twice as Bombshell of the Day, each time getting comments like, “HOT all the way through,” and “HOT TO DEATH!!! Weeerk!”


The vintage shopping pro shows off her finds on her blog www.rouseardor.com. Click on if you just can’t get enough.

5. Lily from Vancouver:

If there were a popularity contest, Lily would win. The personal style blogger for www.bleedforfashion.com enjoyed over 88 comments brimming with compliments like, “Wow love every look! She’s awesome!” and “Now THIS is a bombshell. Love everything!”


6. Whitney from Texas:

Image consultant Whitney from Texas blew us away with her multicolored blazers and well tailored looks.

The truth said, “Love her style! From head to toe, she looks flawless in every pic.”

7. Alicia from LA

Alicia already had quite a following thanks to her blog Inny Vinny, and it seems she gained a few more fans after her feature on the Bomb.

Zy said, “Ohhhhh…. I LOVE her style. It’s been a while since you guys have featured a Bomb with some serious style… this chickadee is WORKING it. from the shoes, to the haircut, she’s definitely got a signature style. Love it, love it, love it!” FashionEditorTN added, “It’s about got-darn time Claire, Lol! Her style is where it’s at. I love the glasses and the paisley-lookin dress with the mustard sandals. The grey cardigan, pearls and purple platforms are thrown together nicely…Love love love it. Thanks Alicia…Well done!”

8. Tysha from Toronto:

Tysha of the blog www.shopnowsavelater.blogspot.com was like a breathe of fresh air with her chic haircuts and edgy looks.

Sun.kissed said, “Now there’s a BOMBSHELL worth posting! She looks great!”

9. Nikole from LA:

Nikole, aka The Moptop Maven, charmed fellow Bombshells with her sick wardrobe, bright smile, and gorgeous hair.

AD said, “BEAUTIFUL! That hair! Fantabulous! *drops bombs*” Even Danielle had to weigh in, saying, “OH-MY-SWEET-GERKINS! (*Rupaul voice*). This woman is gorgeous! I’m here thinking about the Phytorelaxer I bought the other day and shaking my head at myself and seriously contemplating taking that thing back…lol. I LOVE her hair. And her style. And her face.”

10. Brittainy from North Carolina:

Last, but not least is Brittainy who just made the cut, submitting her pix just a few days ago.

No matter, the 5’10” stunner made quite the impression. Zimbabwechic said, “Okay honey I’m gonna need the name of your hairstylist and where you go thrift shopping, that is all:)”

And that’s all folks! Who do you deem worthy of the title, “Bombshell of the Year”?

*Note: You can make more than one selection

Have fab weekends and stay tuned for more Best of 2010 fun!

  2. #5 lily… all day, but I think Alicia, Tysha, Brittainy, Shanease and GiGi were also some fly girls I was a fan of them as well. Gina was nice too

  3. I think they are all fabulous and fierce in their own right so I voted for them all. Sorry Claire :(

    I think each of their style compliments who they are and they are true to just that. They are all innovative as well. Kudos to all of you all!

    Go Whitney!!! Who’s representing Texas :)

  5. @Keshia from Texas LOL at voting for them all. I allowed for multiple selections because I knew it’d be a tough choice. Bishes are fierce!!!

  6. Thanks Claire I think that was a fabulous idea! LOL Fashion and style is so subjective that is was only fair.

  12. I would have loved for the chick from parismostwanted.com to be included and more. there were soo many good bombshells it is really hard to vote.

  15. WOW! I must of missed GIGI on here….she is SUPA-FLY!

    I’m having a hard time picking just ONE!…..

    I like Lori…and Nikole fr. MopTopMaven(really like her blog btw)…

    Back to Gigi….the skin is poppin’.

    I just don’t know who to choose…

  16. Brittainy, Lily, Tysha, hell all these girls have style, swag, everything and I give give them endless snaps! And Gigi, your skin is ridic-wait for it- u-lous! I keep trying but I can only dream abut skin like that.

  19. Tysha from Toronto! She got it!

    Interesting how Lily is leading. Asians did not invent trendy different style. Politically correct or not. There are no thicker girls in the bunch. Don’t blame Vogue or Essence when you promote the status quo here on Fashion Bomb.See yourself as fashionable readers. Oh yeah, and Urban is no longer code for black since gentrification took over the hood.

  22. @bohobabe not sure whether your comment was a criticsm but…As a thicker black girl, I voted for Lily and I’m not bothered that she is Asian or that thicker sisters are not nominated. When thicker girls put themselves forward in clothes that are not only popping, look effortless, fit perfectly and understand their proportions and realize some things are not meant for us then we will vote. Nobody here has control of this as this is reader submitted and the thicker style has not been on par though I know there are plenty of thick ladies out there who got it going on. AS for Asians inventing different style, they might not have but dang those girl sure know how to look immaculate from head to toe, my head was just whipping around in Vancouver, gaping at their style.

  25. This is tough. I do love Lily’s style but it’s a bit too high-end and inaccessible, so I have to go with Whitney or Nikole.

  26. All of these ladies are fabulous in their own right with amazing style. They each had flair, sass, and most of all they each had the confidence to pull their looks off!!!!!! I also admire these ladies because they were courageous enough to send in their photos!!!!!!

  28. Tysha, of course! Not only does she have style, but she has a sexy, cool, confidence about her that I love!

  32. *enters stage taps mic*

    Lily ALL DAMN DAY!! Runner-up Gigi beautiful ass. That is all.

    *drops mic*

  34. I love effortless style…Whitney, Nicole and Tysha is doing it for me. These 3 ladies are freaking gorgeous.

  35. Honest to God….Miss Lily and Whiteney were killing it without even trying. I’ll even admit I went back to Lily’s pics a few times just make sure I was in the happs lol!! Good luck ladies!

  38. OMG i love them all!! I don’t think I can vote! but Lily’s 2 pics didn’t do her justice, everyone should check out her blog

  40. Alicia – the only blogger to have actually impacted my perception of how to dress (I can now unashamedly wear men’s style tailored look without feeling like dress up). In terms of the most stylish, then Lily.
    I feel being a Fashion Bombshell is about more than just having style, and Alicia has all the qualities of a Bombshell and then something extra!

  41. I’m so SHOCKED that Leslie of L.A. didn’t make the top 10??!!
    How’s that? Wasn’t she a bombshell twice in 2010??
    Anyways, a few of the ladies in the top 10 did the damn thing- Whitney, Nikole, Lori, Alicia & Tysha…. magnificent display of genuine style. I felt their style exemplified authenticity. Not following trends & being true to self.

    Congrats to all the ladies though.

    For me, it was over once Lily came on board. I ♥ her fashion steez.

  45. Definitely rocking with Lily, she gets it! 2nd runner up would be Gigi, that girl has the most beautiful skin and natural features I think “I ever done saw”…lol. Both girls are gorgeous!

  48. ::Gets down on one knee::….ummm Lori’s Closet I’ve had feelings for you for some time….you are vibrant…fierce…impromptu…WILL YOU MARRY ME??

  53. I love Lily’s style but she seems more high end to me and I love a chick who takes what she has from thrift store to target and makes it fab. I’m rockin with Brittainy and Lori.

  56. woohoo thanks for the comment shout out! love all the bombshells and looking forward to weighing in on 2011. With that said….this is going to be a hard decision to make. Good luck ladies!

  57. I would love to know the four that didn’t make it because some of the girls that did make it look more hmmm than hot. The girl that made the Grecian dress from the purple bedsheet should’ve been on the list.
