Happy Thursday ladies and gents!
Last night I, along with Chef Roblé, Bridget Kelly, Sessilee Lopez, Daisy Lewellyn, Johnny Nunez, and Jennifer Williams, received Rolling Out Mirror Mirror awards for our contributions to the entertainment industry!

Tyson Beckford and Toya Wright hosted the event, which included a performance by Bridget Kelly, a cocktail hour, and a short awards ceremony.

Take a look at a few flicks from the evening:

Of course I can’t accept any award without acknowledging the superior work of Fashion Bomb writers Jihan, Cliché, and Faith, who rolled through to show their support:

They’ve lent their time, talent, and brilliance to helping make this site a must visit for any fashionista. I couldn’t be more thankful for their contributions!


In my speech, I also made sure to thank you vocal, opinionated, and often hilarious readers for visiting our humble site. Those who have been around since 2006 have witnessed the growth–we couldn’t do it without you!


This…and much more to come…!
Smootches!

  1. Congrats on the award!! Quick fashion question for Cliche: I love your dress! Where can I find that? It’s beautiful!!

  2. Well deserved Claire, Congratulations! and you look AMAZING… I love everything about your ensemble. You definitely need to keep this hairstyle… it rocks!

  3. Claire u look lovely in your dress u r a very pretty girl and those good looking men are lucky to be taking pixs with u but i am going to call u out for the sweaty armpits Girl u know the world gonna see these pixs……….
    Siseely or whatever , she needs a padded bra.
    whats with the bolero on toya?

  4. Everyone looks great, wonderful, yada, yada, yada…..but TYSON! That man will be in the casket and still got it. Claire you look like you be grabbing his butt, or that could be just my wishful thinking. Either way, I’m not mad.

  5. Congratulations Claire! You and the FashionBomb squad deserve it! And you SLAYED with your look (PERFECTION!)…Working those blonde dreads, honey!

    Blessings!

  6. @ Heeba, To notice Claire had sweaty armpits was a reeeeeeaaaach, I still didn’t see it (btw love the hair color Claire). Sessilee Lopez does not need a padded bra. She comfortable with her body. What would you rather see boobies spilling out of her dress?Everyone looked nice!!!

  7. CONGRATS!! FASHION BOMB TEAM!!.. I’VE BEEN AN AVID READER TO THIS SITE FOR YEARS.. LOVE YOUR SITE.

  8. Thanks everyone!
    @Heeba Yes, I was sweating. It was hot. That’s why you see my arms down in 95% of the pix (not with my hands on my hips as I tend to do). I’m human! Not trying to act like I’m a celebrity or even remotely perfect… I’m really just a writer who happens to love fashion.
    Love yous and thanks for your kind words. x

  9. Claire that platinum has changed my life!!! I am so girl crushing you. How amazing did you look…kudos to the change and that dark lip looks good. Makes me want to do something different.

  10. Congrats Claire and the Fashionbomb Team! You look fab Claire and Tyra Banks will be proud cause you are smizing with your eyes in all pics but especially the one with Munson Steed.

  11. So everyone is going to ignore the fact Al Reynolds looks like he shopped in Macy’s juniors department. For girls.

    Other than that, its always great to see people acknowledged for their work- especially when its a positive reflection of out community!

  12. I never comment, but this is by far the BEST you’ve looked! You looked beautiful! Congrats on your success! I wish you the best in the future:)

  13. CONGRATS Claire and the FBD team! So very well deserved! Claire, you looked BEYOND Gorgeous from head to toe! You served in every photo! (also love Cliche’s top : ). Oh, and the pic with you and Malik Yoba looked like a cute couples’ photo lol #justsayin’ ;-)

  21. Congrats to you and your team Claire it is well deserved!! You all look fab…but I’m thinking Jihan must’ve been attending the laid-back event next door and dropped in….

  22. CLAIRE!
    CLAIRE!!
    CLAIRE!!!
    you look so hella-stunning in that Cerulean Blue / Platinum Do / Cherry Coke Lipstick combo!
    you betta work Glamazon! ;-D

  23. Congratulations Claire! Very well deserved! You look great! Love love love the hair color and your make-up was beat. Jennifer Williams’ dress is cute. I can never make Zara dresses work for me in the breast area. Always too tight. I hope you gave her some shoe suggestions…there’s more to pumps than CL as that’s all I ever see her in. Lol! Cliche and Faith look super cute and dressed for the occasion as well.

  24. @thetruth. my top is from Zara, ofc bc I’m addicted

    @JJ I’m actually loling right now at your comment. (PS my dad also thinks it’s hilarious!) You’re right haha. Sorry, I was too busy steeping tea with Sess and Jenn and ki ki-ing with Tyson to be that worried about my ‘fit! lol… but yes, I’m notorious for being more laid back at events bc I’m a nerd and also a lazy dresser (a fashion writer is a lazy dresser… it’s more common than you think lol). ;)

    also wasn’t expecting to take pictures… but our dear Ms. Sulmers often springs it up on me hah! xx

  25. @Claire you look absolutely beautiful….as stated by many before, your hair and makeup were definitely flawless that night

    @Faith love your hair!

  26. I’m not a great fan of blue, so i don’t really love the dress, but the accesoiries, and the make-up! BAM YOU DID IT!
    You all deserve this sooooo much, you’re the best, most fun fashion blog I ever came across. I promise to stay a tight reader every day !

  27. @Jihan awww I made dad giggle too;) loling at nerd and lazy dresser…on that note you do caj chic well shuga…again you all look fab:)

  28. Was there no dress code for this event? Everyone (celebrities, honorees…) looks like they are going to a different event.
    I really want to see Jihan step it up just once at one of these things. Some makeup, a to-die-for outfit. Something!

  29. Congrats Claire! I just started reading your blog this year after finding out about it on Rip the Runway and I am hooked and have gotten others hooked as well. Question: Who were you wearing?

  30. congrats claire & the other ladies of fashion bomb daily. keep up the great work! claire, your locs are so cute. love the color on you.

  31. Congratulations Claire! You are most deserving and you looked fab! And what I most admire about you *tears* is your self control in not groping Mr. Tyson Beckford when you had a clear opportunity….lol

    Blessings
