Happy Wednesday!
I’ve been quite the busy bee this month! Last night, I was honored to host a premiere screening for OWN’s new docu-series, Love in the City, sponsored by Clairol and the 135th Street Agency.

Set in New York, the show follows celebrity hairstylist Kiyah Wright, fashionista Tiffany Jones, photographer Chenoa Maxwell, and entrepreneur Bershan Shaw as they bond over love, friendship, heartache, and relationships. Pegged as the multicultural answer to Sex and the City, the series promises real drama, but zero catfights (a nice balance of sass and class).

The show’s cast is quite the stylish group (as you can see!), so the kind folks at OWN thought it fitting that I MC the fabulous gathering.

  1. Claire, congratulations on all of your accomplishments. I will definitely be tuning in on Sunday and I have always loved Chenoa Maxwell.

  2. I’m not sure which cast member is in white, but I thought she was Jihan at first. Looks like a fabulous night!

  3. Amazing! Ursula and Chenoa stood out for me, but everyone looked lovely. Your look was so fun Claire, I know Carrie and Pat Field would approve =)

  4. Thanks!
    @Anonymous Elle’s dress was by Blumarine
    @Lala Chenoa was wearing a feathered jacket, mine was a feathered skirt. xxo

  5. This show was on TvOne over a year ago (I loved it, btw) and it just stopped airing… Is this reality show revamped or will they start with the same episodes already aired on the other network?

  6. Claire your look was fab as always! Can you please give deets on outfit worn by Kiyah Wright? Especially want deets the long orange coat/dress. Thank you beautiful!
