  1. YOU BETTER WORK! YOU BETTER SLAAYYY EVERYONE …

    Ok, I’m calm. He’s beautiful, I love myself some fashionable men. Reminds me of Lawrence on RHOA, but better. Beautiful face, just gorgeous. The denim skirt, with the fur shaw is giving me life. I’m with you Claire, I might be taking some style advice from this one!

  5. You are so fab. I love the mix of glam and tomboy you sometimes do. Shows the duality of you. Also I love your signature pose. Work beat fierce down.

  8. He looks better than a lot of these girls I see in the streets!!!

    1st look 3rd look 4th look. love ’em!

    WERQUE MISS THING!

  9. He is flawless and carries confidence with his style. For all the negative energy; have a seat because aint nobody messing with him.

  11. Love it! And he’s right that women’s clothing has so many more options. Sometimes I feel bad for guys.

  12. LET BE REAL PEOPLE!! Are we saying he’s a bombshell becuase hes a guy dressed up in womens clothes. Let do the reverse, what if it was a women…. im not feeling the clothes

  13. Are we focusing on the clothes or giving him a pass because he’s flamboyant and gay? These outfits aren’t very fashionable… I see lots of loud colors, denim, and old trends. Somebody on here even said he could teach other bombshells a thing or two.

    About what?

  17. The heels lipstick purses, I cannot. Nothing to do with him being gay but I just am not into men wearing women’s clothing.

  21. Jeezus take the wheel…

    I must say that if it were a woman wearing these clothes it would be a totally different response. Some women love to love gay men more than their own fellow sisters…its pathetic actually.

    With that being said..I do enjoy the mix of patterns chosen. Nothing really special about the actual clothing choices, though.

  22. Nope.. I don’t understand if you’re gay be gay..But stop it with the women clothes.. and I don’t need anyone @’ing me.. thank you

  24. I agree with @DarkNlovely. So many of you just wanna give cookies because someone is gay. “He look better than a lot of girls” No boo he looks better than YOU! Don’t add me in with an insult to your womanhood. What is this now Fashion Bomb’s Drag Race? Smh

  26. I personally don’t care for these looks, whether they were on a man or a woman. With the exception of the first look, I think everything looks cheap, especially the accesories. I think some of you are just giving him a pass because he is a man and he appears quite confident.

  27. WERK IT HUNEY!!!!! He looks better than some of these fashion bombshells we been seeing on here lately. * TWO SNAPS!!!!*

  29. This isn’t fashion this is disturbing. And baby if he looks better then women u see, then u must hang around some busted chicks

  30. Well @ Heyyall, I am going to @ you sweetie. Anybody gay, straight, or whatever can wear what they want. Just like Teyana Taylor, Rih Rih, and others wear men clothing sometimes. Lets not get it twisted.

  31. @Anonymous, yea I’ve been seeing some busted chicks on here lately trying to pass as fashion bombshells.

  32. Some of you ladies have some vile bitter hearts. I’m sorry but he’s gorgeous and from my city. I think he looks great! And Baby those legs….

  33. For those who r saying WERk! it or love his style.. I wonder would they be screaming that if their son came home dressed like that…I’m guessing not

  35. These looks scream bargain bin/salvation army! Is he living in the 90’s? Im sorry this is horrible. I love me a man that can serve and he is serving face but the wardrobe is horrid!

  37. Fact: if a woman had submitted pictures of herself in these outfits; you would’ve dragged her for days. But because it’s a gay man; it all good? Hypocrites! lol You know this is horrific but yet you’re still encouraging him. Please stop

  38. If he were a woman, these comments would definitely have fifty doses of shade in it. His style, be it man or woman is not my cup of tea but it looks like it works pretty well for him.

  39. @DarkNlovely exactly!!! A woman would have been labeled an IG model or basic in a heartbeat. Unreal!

  40. An absolute catastrophe. I think many of you are being overly PC as to not appear homophobic. Most of these looks are straight up awful. If they were on a woman, you’d be reading. Sorry, but he looks ridiculous and most of the pieces look cheap. The sensationalism/shock of him being a man in half-drags is not enough to save how horrible he looks. If this is what is masquerading as ‘style’…….child, I just don’t know anymore.

  41. I totally agree with Mobetta, Teniece, Rob and anyone who can see the real hypocrisyof this mess.
    I had to keep scrolling back & forth but I STILL dont see anything supa dupa fly . I am convinced that if a woman wore the exact same looks she would not be getting the same accolades. Y’all need to stop !!! There is NOTHING special about his look—-so no he could not give any bombshell or anyone for that matter a run for their money or any fashion advice. Again I say y’all need to stop. and this has nothing to do with his orientation(which one would assume was homosexual)—but it doesnt even matter because his fashion game is basic.

  44. He broke it down. Love him and can’t stand these closet homophobes on here claiming that him being gay has nothing to do with their displeasure. So tired…get a clue: it’s a new world get used to it.

  45. L M F A O! Y’all are wildin! This is basura! Those fake bags trendy gawdy flimsy over worn t shirts leggings & shorts. Kill this jargon! This queen is busted. FLAT

  46. I wouldn’t consider his looks to be bombshell quality. The fact that he is toned to a “T” definitely helps, and a few looks have a bit of creative flair. But also I see a bit of old lady style and it’s a bit too confusing for “my taste”. In my opinion, pick a side…max it out…resubmit.

  48. “Werk it hunty!!” gosh are people still talking like this? It’s so patronising.

    I’m not into this. At all.

    ^^^^

    What sort of shade is that. If my son showed signs of being gay he can dress whatever hell way he wants as long as he likes it…I WOULD LOVE IT. Some folks love their children they birthed the right way all the time. I’ll give you one more for measure. I’m ordained to marry couples, and I’d marry any child of mine that was in love with someone of the same sex.

  50. while I’m 99.8% he is gay… sexual orientation and gender expression are NOT the same ladies.

    Anywho, I laughed at ” I Love Women’s Clothing” no shit, boo?

    Belle looks good and I applaud him for being unapologetic and brave.

  52. “Sophisticated”? I see nothing remotely sophisticated about these getups. I am so over submitters who use words to describe their style just because it sounds good to their ears.

    And why do you look like someone who gets into a lot of physical altercations? Even some of the outfits are tattered.

  55. I’m sorry but it doesn’t look polished at all! If this was a bombshell ya’ll would be reading her to FILTH. Stop the madness his style isn’t that good. Now them legs though KILLER!

  57. This is disturbing. It seems as if he is getting more praise for cross dressing rather than his actual style. Speaking of Mr. Belle’s style, it looks all over the place, a bit gaudy, and dated. Being gay is one thing and we live in a society in which it is common and accepted, however Ms. Claire I’m not here for the emasculation of black males AT ALL. 3 snaps and a big no for me.

  58. FBD please stop giving these men dressing as women encouragement. He’s a mess just like all men who put on heels, dresses, lipstick and all things made FOR WOMEN. It’s not fashionable its a hot ass mess. If he were an actual woman he’d be the ugliest woman in Chicago. So please keep this bullshit in Atlanta.

  62. Is this a joke? I’m w/@BlueIvyCarter & @NT
    It’s just a dude in women’s trashy clothing…
    I am SO good on this!!!!!!

  63. Really -__- if a woman had on half of these fits she would have been mocked and put to shame. That “chicago” shirt look wit the leggings, and that bleached jean suit? REALLY? Stop with the BS about him being a queen, and better than most girls, especially you Jihan. Thats like downplaying your fellow females. And why must he “werq miss?” I thought he was a fashion BOMBER? Let’s call it what it is and just critique the fashion which is a MESS. Especially that neck-buttoned shirt with that fake bag. The last look is a TRAGEDY as well. SMH. Critiquing his look is one thing, but saying he works it better than girls when he is CLEARLY a guy is uncalled for.

  65. c’mon now…if this was a female wearing these clothes there would be all sorts of shade thrown here. Please stop it…this is not fashion. He looks like he had a night of dress up.

    Why even bother to put “him” in the bomber category?

  67. I have to be honest here…if this was a woman and she submitted photos wearing the same thing as Belle, the slander would be unreal. From “is this a joke” to “Bye girl”. The jean skirt and “fur” throw -__-?!?!? Come on!!! Let’s be real here! I am all for a man that loves women’s clothing, do your thing…but this is not a bomber folks

    Belle has some hits and misses with his outfit choices, but that face is BEAT and I applaud him for being true to who he is.

  68. It’s a shame how some of you praise him as a fashion bomb, when there’s real woman on this that has the same fashion sense and you rip them to shreds. His style is trying to hard and wack sorry. Tired of seeing these damn drag queens dressed as women and people got the nerve to say they look better than half these women. Oh no they don’t. Women look nice and soft, they look tough and hard.

  70. 2 & 5 I love!!!1 Especially 5, I have been debating on if Timb boots would work for when I want to look cute, not just warm. Belle yes you have inspired me with fire and desire!

  71. On a SN I think that fashion is about an individual’s interpretation of a “look” . No two bombers/shells are the same :) So yes, some may wear the same articles of clothing but the delivery of the outfit is what makes the difference; in my humble opinion.

  72. I agree with most, he is no fashion bomber or bombshell. So folks saying “WERK”,”SLAYYY, and “2 SNAPS” (can’t believe grown women are still talking like this) are just saying that because he’s a cross dresser. And the ones saying he looks better than most women you see, where the heck do you all live?????

  74. dont like that he is trying to be Rhianna but I am ashamed to say his makeup is beat. If this were a woman you guys would be saying to trendy to trashy. no to the fashion bomb. Wear women’s clothes better next time dear. I will always vote fairly

  77. So many sides :lolz: Belle’s face alone is great so MUAs take note.

    While I wasn’t a fan of the shredded acid wash jumpsuit, there are great elements in ALL his pics. If you’re really “reading” him, you’d like him.

    The ability to play with gender stereotyping is perfected in #5 where he’s got some “guy stuff” (open shirt, big chain) and some “girl stuff” (bag, nails and more of that FACE). If you’re still into the stereotyping thing, then this all blows your mind, I guess. Better throw out your BF blazer. Fav Fit: LBD.

  78. Belle, you are a man not a woman. There is nothing cute about you dressed as a woman, nothing at all.

    Go back into your house and stop scaring the public. Right now Mr.!!!!!!

  79. Really guys, this looks good??? Not at all – cut it out Belle, just stop the madness!! That is all!!

  80. Really guys, this looks good??? Not at all – cut it out Belle, just stop the madness!! #cititrends

  81. Love the look! Love the dark makeup in the black outfit photo…So Grace Jones!

    Bitch, this is everything! Work that dark lipstick like it is paying you!

  83. ^^ THANK YOU, Liz, for your comments on sexual orientation v. gender expression. So many people don’t understand this.

    The ensembles as a whole aren’t for me. Props for being brave enough to be yourself, though. Many of us aren’t. Be you and be proud.

  84. Nope.. This coming from someone who loves Rupaul.. But this bit of hot mess is tragic..

    Oh and I cosign if this was a woman, the comments would be harsh.

  85. YASSSSSSS HONEY! I personally wouldn’t wear any of these outfits but his confidence makes the clothes work for him.

  86. I LOVE IT! he is authentically himself! WERK! you look good and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!

  90. I like his looks! If you look closely a lot ofthem have hints of sophistication and retro vibes. Its obvious he frequents fashion bomb and other lookbooks for inspiration. I do not think anyone is giving him a pass. there are men out there far more flamboyant than he trust me I’ve been around enough queens to know! Its called opinion dears calm down! I think the only thing that I don’t like is the shorts… can’t deal!

  91. Oh yeah and that destroyed denim skirt white tailed and fur stole are soooooo me. I’ll be biting and adding cuout booties. Thanks!

  92. Give credit where credit is due….. but this… NO no and NO!!

    I agree with the comments mentioned by so many ladies! (Black women especially) We are so quick to bring each other down and celebrate the “other” be it other races or genders in this case!

    These looks do not work, period.

  93. I LOOOOVE that he is comfortable in women’s clothing BUT I still think the pieces are kinda trashy. I just want to take him on a trip to J.Crew or Banana Republic. These pieces look like they came from Rainbow :/ But he is confident though and I love that

  94. Not feeling his outfits I wouldn’t like them on a woman either. You can’t lie that he works that first dress though!

    Whether I like the outfits or not I like that the Fashion bomb staff gives everyone a chance. Even people that may be outcasts in other places.

  95. He really looks better than a lot of the female entries. Not the best style out there but, at least he has a definitive style and have it clear thought. Loooovvveee the black sandals and nude pumps by the way!!!! His legs look amazing.

  98. I love that he takes risks. But my question is, why do so many men want to be women nowadays?!?

  101. He looks a mess and it has nothing to do with him being gay! If a woman submitted this, most of you would not approve. I’m tired of the gay passes!!!!!

  103. while that last pic is giving me grace jones tease, i have to say, i’m not sure belle knows what the word “sophisticated” means. i don’t care for his fashions.

  104. BELLE IS KILLING THIS I GASPED WHEN I SAW HIS PIC AT FIRST BUT HE IS FLYYYYERRRRR THAN A KITE…..I KEPT REPLACING HIS HEAD WITH MINE BECAUSE THE LOOKS ARE SO CUTE I WOULD ROCK EM HE SO SASSYYYYYY !!!!!!! DO U BELLE DO U

  105. I like his style because he is selling it! He seems so confident and comfortable in his clothes that it just seems right. I don’t think his style would be considered sophisticated like in his description. But I really do love it! And the hair and makeup are on point!

  108. no ma’am to the tattered threads & the constant snarl, but…

    he has great legs, his waist is SNATCHED & although i’m over men wearing women’s clothing, i LOVE the first & last ALL BLACK EVERYTHING looks. he is giving me sex & the city glamour girl realness in pic 1 & grace jones fierceness in the last pic. werq bish!

  109. Well…. I looked at his outfits and read the comments and I somewhat agree, nothing fantastic about the looks but his face and body are killah!!! not everyone can afford high end designer duds (I surely cannot)and I generously applaud his interpretation and bravery in doing what he feels is best. I don’t care whether he is gay or simply experimenting with women’s clothes, he has done some of those outfits proud. So, how about simply praising effort as opposed to tearing a fellow human being down?!!! If not for your own good, then in the holiday spirit, eh? No matter what y’all gotta say I believe someone’s personal style will pervade and live on. Do you luv!!!

  111. Fashion is not about following trends, it’s about individuality and finding your own style. I know many of us wouldn’t dress like this but that’s the beauty of it. He actually has the balls to be himself, unlike alot of other people.

  115. I like the bags, luv the fur throw!
    Definitely has the facial structure that captures attention, should be modeling somewhere for sure

  116. Overall his confidence outways everything!! A love the pieces that were chosen, but not necessarily in the way that he put them but he is FAB! Anything he wears he owns that!!! I love that. His style is of his own. Keep it up. Thumbs up

  117. hahaha Man I miss the old fashion bomb..if a woman wore this Claire and staff would not be on board but a dude does it and viola. Great. Just great. -__-

  118. I love how ppl are just gonna act like there’s nothing wrong here. Strong single Black women: This is why you have no man, because you encourage your men to behave this way talking about “werq”! GTFO

  119. Definitely not a fashionbomb but the confidence is werking! love the accessories though. wondering if thats a real berkin? hmmm…

  126. The government will offer financial support to encourage the development of a recycling economy. Special funds will be established to boost technology innovation in this sector, Xie Zhenhua, vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the Global Green Business Summit in Shanghai yesterday.
