  1. You KILLED IT YOUNG LADY!! You maybe interested in becoming a Girls Best Friend Beauty. See my site for details. GIRL NOT EVERYBODY CAN PULL OF THAT RED. SIS I am thinking dang wonder can I pull of that look? Probably NOT! I will just admire you.

  3. she looks so beautiful…….. She can dress up and down with ease……. perfection.

  8. she’s my best friend in my head from now on, when i go shopping, im bringing her pics to add color in my oh so dark colored wardrobe. i like everything black or gray, and red is usually color for me!

  9. Cute…it just seems like somethings off…can’t figure it out so i’ll just leave it at cute…

  12. I would love to see the black dress cuz thats the only look i think i liked. the wigs :(

  17. i like her purse game but that is about it. this is like a bad case of Rhianna (with red hair) meets Nicki Minaj meets Basketball wives. Cant wait for tomorrow bombshell.

  20. It looks as though she ripped a page out of Nicki Minaj’s style book. I dont know if thats a good or bad thing, but is not my thing…. just sayin

  21. @Amani…My eyes were instantly drawn to that too. I think it’s her hosiery.

    Anyway, I think she very pretty. I like the black dress and the orange top with the mustard leggings, though the fit in the crotch is troubling. I do think she is stylish or moreso trendy, just not quite unique or polished enough for BOMBSHELL status. Also, because I just finished watching that Nicki video with Nas I am on a tangent about looking like a woman instead of a doll. Mariama you too naturally beautiful to be masking it with all the extra….

  23. Looks a little hooch, but in a good way! lol The orange top with the tan pants are cute! But the makeup is aging her terribly, she needs a fresh look. And as someone who has red hair…u may need to lose that sweetheart, its not for everyone.

  25. She’s a pretty girl and I took into account her age when I looked at her style and hairstyles + color. I think as she matures she will look less pop star infused and develop more of a personal sense of style.

  26. @ Amani: It may be Ambi/Hydroquinone++++++++++ going on. Her hands are a giveaway.

  27. That comment “is that a man?” Literally just made me spit out my lemoanade that person ain’t ish for that comment! Lol! But anyway I like her style I think its cute! And she’s working that red hair. Go ahead girl *three finger snap*

  30. Pretty Girl and she looks ready to enjoy her life..i think it is great to try things at that age….

  31. yes, she is attractive. im sorry but the positive comments about her stye must be coming from friends. her outfits look lik every other chick in a big urban city. bombshell-NOT

  32. She looks like if Marlo Hampton & Jennifer Williams had a baby. This is not a bad thing, just an observation.

  33. sweetie pie, the brown hair looks best on you. The dark black hair is too dark fir your features and the red is juts a no. But you look lovely with the brown.

  36. She says she loves to enjoy life and @ 22 she looks to be doing just that! With the exception of the skirt in the last pic i think her look suits her age. And there are many non spot lighted females that have done that shade of red way before rhi did it so im gonna assume that maybe just maybe not EVERY girl is copying the hair color just cause or am i the only one that remembers some of the hot mess the mid 90’s produced

  38. I instantly thought Miami, Atlanta, New York. I was surprised to see she’s from the UK. I wonder where she gets her style inspiration. Her looks aren’t my favorite, but for some reason I’m interested lol.

  40. I applaud her bravery with the red hair, I think the color fits her. As far as her style it’s nothing I haven’t seen many times before.

  43. love her style, but the beauty part makes the outfits look more costumes. I wish she’d tone the hair and ease up just a bit on the accessories. Her style is cool as hell. I think British chicks are so dope!

  44. ME PERSONALLY I LOVE HER UNIQUE STYLE TO ME IT’S DIFFERENT AND NOT EVERYBODY CAN PULL OFF THESE DIFFERENT LOOKS AND STILL KILL THE GAME OF FASHION BITTER PEOPLE HATE ON WHO AND WHAT THEY CAN’T RELATE TO I WISH SHE HADA BLOG OR SOMETHING TO GIVE STYLE ADVICE THATS MY PERSONAL OPINION

  47. I think she puts herself together really well. You can tell she makes an effort to look nice in whatever she decides to wear. I like that she’s versatile and fun with her looks.. I’m not a fan of the jean shorts look but I love the kinda 60’s flavor she’s giving in the first pic. I also agree with Claire, I would’ve loved to see the black dress in full length. But oh well…. Go girl! Do you! :)
    But lawd, some of these comments are disgusting! How old are yall? And why be so MEAN?!

  50. I think she has some hits and some misses. Why as of late I’ve been seeing alot of ppl accusing Fashion Bombs of being men or skin bleaching? GTFOH

  53. For most outfits if you look at them with her head cut off they’re actually not bad :)

  55. cosign @ Lydia. I noticed her hands especially after the picture of her in the black dress. Very obvious. Also, her coloring has a pale sickly light to it, very telling of bleaching.

    On to her style…….copy/blend of Rhi-Nikki-BBW. SOOOOO shocked shes from the UK. I feel like they are ahead of the US (excluding NY) but she’s definitely not. I actually think the red works for Mariama (because I think “she” is a he) and the clothes are “meh”. They do look nice on Mariama though.

  56. 22….um hm ok. Anyway She has a sense of style Ican repsect that…..but those colored wigs add an element of hood stripper to the look.

  57. Not a bomshell and I am not saying that to be mean. A pretty girl but her outfits seem to be more on the club/festivity side than fashion. I guess like she says, in these type of outfits, she most def get the attention that she seems to want and for me it is not in a good way.

  58. Her style is cute and together I like it, but peoples comments like is she a man or skin comments and just bitchy comments in general y do u need to say it if u don’t like it give constructive critism not distructive or don’t say anything. I don’t get why people have bring people down. And you know what if she really was a man dressed as a woman and people saw it as obvious no one would comment on it cause it would be politically correct to bash a transgender or someone minority sexuality. But its ok to bash a person who wants to share themselves with others in a positive way! SMH shame on those people.

  60. I like her style. Its about being young and experimenting with different looks. Really? accusing her of being a man? Some of you are horribly rude people with low self-esteems. This about fashion so, talk about her clothes I’m sure some of you aren’t beauty queens.

  61. i loved most of her outfits, the red hair did distract me from what she was wearing..which isn’t a good thing. but overall she has a spark.

  65. she isnt 22..look at her feet in the picture where she is squatting,maybe 34,not a bombshell ..

  69. Am I missing something? First, She is gorgeous, also nothing about her resembles a man. Her skin is beautiful and even toned, she lives in London its a cool climate her skin will appear lighter. Her fashion mirrors someone in the states but its not terrible…..

  70. OMG, Im sorry but this is all wrong. She definately needs a fashion intervention. Although, I applaud her courage, she needs help in the fashion department.

    First, the hair does absolutely nothing for her. It cheapens her look altogether. She needs to burn those wigs RIGHT now!

    Second, the fit of her clothing and the too too short hemlines are all wrong. I cant even begin.

    like I previously stated I applaud her courage, however she is definately not a bombshell.

  73. People writing hateful comments must know her personally. They are obviously her stalker…They envy her cuz they ain’t as pretty as her. @Blkrose when are you showcasing your style? You have something negative to say about everyone, Let’s see how perfect you are.

  75. her style is fierce. screams *i like to party* and + i love the colors. Go mariama! you are definitely my bombshell

  78. Wow you girls are definitely going too far, its obvious she isn’t a man. don’t be so disrespectful, bet y’all ratchet asses look like drag queens yourself talking crap on the internet.

    I think this girl looks really pretty. She has a nice style.

  79. Wow you girls are definitely going too far, its obvious she isn’t a man. don’t be so disrespectful, bet y’all ratchet asses look like drag queens yourself talking crap on the internet.

    I think this girl looks really pretty. She has a nice style.

  80. Blkrose we are waiting for your submission…fashion maven that you are. You probably look like shit in real life, I mean you’re constantly being ugly on here. Read the comments from people calling her a man and accusing her of bleaching, being so disrespectful ..you can just tell what kind of women they are. Hating ass black women who just have to bring another sista down. y’all need help.

  81. Wow, some people are so rude and unnecessary.

    I’m not a fan of her style but there was no reason to comment the way that some of you did.

  82. I was debating on whether I would comment, but here goes-
    First off, I give everyone an “A” for effort- its tough putting yourself out on this site to be critiqued and ridiculed

    She’s an attractive girl- I personally don’t care for the hair- I think it takes away from her features- I’m not a fan of the fragile rock red, regardless of who wears it-

    As far as the clothes are concerned,I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “personal style”— this is something I see a lot of young girls wear– they throw a designer bag in the mix and wear it with EVERY DAMN THING!!!

    We have to remember she is only 22, so she has plenty of time to blossom into a bomb–I remember myself at that age- I WAS AWFUL- I emphasized on my breasts however I could- I think back and laugh about it-My style has evolved TREMENDOUSLY- I have truly come into my own and am less than concerned about a trend or a brand- if I like it and it looks great on me, I go for it-

    I think its great that Claire showcases individuals from all walks of life–
    So my final thoughts are no this girl is not in the least bit a fashion bomb, but give her about 8 years and I’m sure we’ll something totally different-

    I don’t believe in cyber thugging it- calling people out their name is extremely rude and unlady like- I just shake my head at some of these comments!

  83. wow some of you people are sad, coming on here to tear someone down is pitiful. Saying she’s a man or that she bleaches is not a commentary on her style, if you didn’t come on here to judge her style then disappear. I bet a million dollars all the people saying she looks like a man are ugly and would never look half as dissent as her in a million years!!!

  85. This is why us black men don’t like certain black women because they hate on other women too much. Take it form me as a good looking guy. This young lady is very beautiful. She has style and class and the ugly black women at home with their fat bellies are hating on her. Even if she bleaches so does beyonce, rihanna, nicki minaj and the rest of the black stars. Once she looks good thats all that matter. So pitiful black women should not hate on her because she is the kind of lady thier men would like. Its sad that a blacke female is doing her thing and her black companions are hating on her.

  86. Wow I love her style. Shes abosolutely gorgeous. Not too crazy about the red hair but you can still see her beauty and she has such a lovely model figure. I agree with @Tyrone, black women are always hating on other pretty black women and beautiful women in general. Its disgusting. And yes they are most likely ugly baby mamas with no life but to hate on sites like these because that is the only way they can feel good about themselves. MARIAMA YOU ROCK! Like nicki minaj said haters are your motivators so u do u gurl. Werk it.

  87. this really dont look like a girl from the UK … she dresses totally opposite from a UK girl … *scratches head … im from Miami n it looks like all her pics are from down here inside one of the pill popping clubs IJS

  88. I’m Spanish and this is the type of black lady I will date. Very nice. Do not mind the haters. As you can see other beautiful people appreciate your beauty. Your like a rockster meets fashionista.

  89. She does not look like she is from the UK. But her style is still amazing. She looks like riri and nicki put together with a crazy rockstar dad. Loves it. Haters are you motivators as @mellissa said. Black women are jus nasty arse haters sometimes. Im sure they wish they were u. Kisses from Argentina

  90. Wow her haters must be people that know her and are very upset sh looks soo good. All u ugly people jus leave this beautiful lady be. Black women are so hateful towards one another. Mariama looks very pretty and I must admit has a sexy body. Look at her legs so long and sexy. I see model potential. U werk girl.

  91. I am white and I love her style. She is beautiful and its clear to see. I do not know what races are hating on her but its obvious that they are actually admiring her and are too insecure with themselves to admit it. so they write negative comments to make themselves feel good. Which is what people do when some one is better that them and I’m sure Mariama is way betta than all her haters. She looks like a barbie doll. I love it.

  94. Its really sad how people will say mean things to people they don’t even know.How does she look like a man?@Blkrose,miss expensive shoes and all,please submit for bombshell.We can’t wait to see it.#olosi

  95. I’m waitign for someone to admit that these outfits are straight ghetto (minus the tan pants combo and the black dress. not a fan.

  96. OMG I LOVE HER STYLE. I THINK ITS D OLD WOMEN LIKE OVER 30 THAT DO NOT LIKE HER LOOK. BUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE HER SENSE OF STYLE. PLUS SHE IS VERY GOOD LOOKING WITH A NICE FIGURE. HER LEGS ARE GREAT.

  98. Her eyes are beautiful. I must admit she is a gorgeous black girl. And she is in final year uni which makes her even more attractive. U go girl.

  100. The girl needs to push the bleaching creame to the side and accept the fact that she darker. Her style is hers, and she has the right to claim it. I don’t believe the 22 year old comment. best of luck to her.

  101. This has nothing to do with Black women. Her aesthetic is not pleasing. It looks, for lack of a better term, very urban. And I don’t mean that in a good way unfortunately. I think its funny the previous posters came on here and announced themselves. “I’m white, I’m a Black man, I’m a Spanish man.” Sit the hell on down, like that validates her tacky looks. LOL

  103. Not my style, reminds me of Nicki Minaj but to each it’s own…. It looks like she’s confident so if she likes it that’s all that matters…

    *side-note* I agree w/everyone that she does not look 22… I personally think wigs age people and she should really ease up on the make-up…

  104. mimi i guess you are obviously one of the ugly black women that hate on pretty black women. Well keep your ugly face behind your computer or betta yet post your own pics. As for the people claiming she bleaches u must bleach to know she does as her skin is nice. dark skin girls need to stop hating on the fairer skin girls. all of her body is the same color and even if she does bleach her skin is still flawless. Haters r her motivators.

  105. no1 looks their age dese days, as u have 16yr old girls looking like 25 so i do belive she’s 22 but the makeup makes her look older. however u cannot deny the fact that she looks beautiful and her skin is flawless. personally i have no problem with bleaching once it looks good all the celebs do it, nicki minaj, beyonce and rihanna all bleach so its only popular culture. people got fake boobs, bums, noses and bodies so each to its own. shes still fab. i love your style pretty mariama

  107. her bags are hott and so is she. she looks like nicki and rihanna but a slimmer version. love love love

  109. London girls are so fabolous. I love her style. not every1 can pull of her looks and i think she does it very chic. i see model potential. u werk girl.

  110. Yo, we REALLY need to see what Blkrose is workin with in HER closet, b/c she is a certified HATER! This ain’t my personal style, but homegirl at least puts in some effort!

  111. I agree with @sticky-n-sweet blkrose is a hater and probably a broke hoe. Mariama you are perfection. I love your fashion game

  112. She looks jamaican. very trendy and stylish. I personally love her look and think she has a beautiful carribean vibe about heart

  113. Yeah she does look caribbean. I do not think she is african at all. maybe bajan or jamaican. very lovely and pretty girl.

  114. she looks like those pretty yardie gurls. the ones that will slap you with their louboutin. lol, she looks good.

  115. beautiful girl with mad swagg. She looks like she’s from america not the uk. love her style. nicki meets rihanna with her looks and style.

  116. @bella and all the others saying she doesnt look like she’s from the UK?
    i dont get it – is there a certain way we brits dress?
    when it comes to us Brits our style is very diverse ? i think she’s pretty in the face – whats up with the cyber bullying /insults – definetly not needed.
    Were here to debate her style not physical features – i like her style- not summin i would wear cus im not bold enough…. but hey
    I tell you – go to south/east london and thats how black girls dress

  117. Wow my kinda girl. Sum1 I will definately date. I like rihanna and nicki and she reminds me of them both. nice1

  118. London gals are so fashionable i love her style. can u imagine how fab she will look at 25. i like mariama

  120. *SMH* at Zee. Zee you should be ashamed of yourself, I know your mama taught you better. Insulting people for no darn reason.

  121. y do black women always feel that the fairer skin black women must b bleaching to be light. her skin is flawless and she looks great. I guess peeps jus mad coz dey kno dem men gon want a girl like her. FASHION BOMMSHELL MOST DEFINATE. JUST THE HAIR IS DEBATABLE, APART FROM THAT SHE LOOKS GREAT

  124. dayum she is fire. she should do modelling i can see the top designers loving her body type and her beutiful long legs

  127. She is very beautiful. not something i would wear but she looks good in it. I see model potential. go girl

  128. she is not pretty I’m sorry she just isnt. People on this site are easily impressed, not hating just stating facts. Her outfits are very yardie like, you can see this type of “fashion bomb” in the ghettos of London all day everyday and no one is showing them as much love as you ladies. I am from London and people would laugh at this get up. PS I think she is lying about her age also, more like 32 then 22.

  130. I thought most of Mariama’s haters were from London but @london chick has jus confirmed that most haters on this pic are ratchet gals from London hating on this beautiful gal. I’m sure they are her stalkers because she looks like she has alot of confidence and most be very popular and of coz popular people are always hated on by the ugly girls, I got hated on in school because I’m brown skin and all the fly boys liked the light and brown skin gals, and the black girls would say I bleach that was why I was so fair. I wish I knew her facebook so I can befriend her. MARIAMA I LOVE YOUR FASHION SENSE. I think u look like nicki and rihanna and I would have like to see more hairstyles than jus the fringes but u still very beautiful Caribbean gal, I’m assuming u are Caribbean as u look Jamaican.

  131. This girl’s physique and style is perfection. I love it and her skin is gorgeous for d people hating on her. Nicki n riri had a baby and she was the result. absolutely luvz it

  132. hmm, some pics gives me the impression this is a tranny. Her/he looks are interesting…

  133. lol at those thinking she looks masculine or that she is a man, you can tell they are ugly females hating on a pretty lady. why are women so insecure and always have to say bad things about the beautiful ladies. they say rihanna is got a big head but she is still hotter than most girls. women just need to stop hating and appreciate real beauty. you can obviously see she is a lady a beautiful one i must add. and the funny thing is I’m sure most of the people commenting will never look as good as she does.

  134. People are jus mad hating. clearly she is not a man. Mariama be happy because the more haters u have the more fab u are. I luv your style and u look great. the hair is so hot on you. I wish I could pukl of this kinda of look. I can imagine you being too hot in the summertime

  135. di gyal hott ehn. jamaican gyal dem pretti madd. di swagg badd. mi like di style dem.

  137. Her figure is perfection. I see model. But maybe tone d hair color down pretty lady. Overall I love her sense of style and she reminds of rihanna and nicki. You have to smile at the haters mariama they are there to motivate you. If you have no haters you are nobody. Oh i love your skin tone also and your swagg. I will like to see you in black hair, think it would suit you better.

  138. IT NOW MAKES SENSE. THE PERSON MAKING MOST OF THE BAD COMMENTS ON THIS PIC IS AN OLD FOOL THAT CALLS HERSELF SAI SANKOH. SHE IS HATING ON THIS GIRL BECAUSE ALL THINGS ABOUT HER IS REAL UNLIKE SAI WHO IS ALL FAKE FROM BOOBS TO NOSE AND WHATEVER ELSE. SAI SLEEPS WITH OLD WHITE MEN AND GETS MONEY FROM THEM TO DO SURGERY WILL NOT DO YOU ANY GOOD YOU OLD HAG SAI SANKOH. ITS SAD TO SEE THAT SHE WILL MAKE FAKE NAMES TO HATE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL. GET A LIFE YOU LOSER. WHEN I SEE SAI AT EVENTS WITH HER FAKE BOOBS JUS MAKES ME SICK. SIA SANKOH YOU ARE A LOSER AND A BUSH GIRL NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY SO STOP HATING ON THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY CALLED MARIAMA.
