Today we’re headed to Washington, DC, where Bombshell Teka resides:

She writes, “My style is sleek, sexy, and chic.”

” I love bright colors and color blocking.”


“The brighter my clothing, the happier I feel!”


” My style depends on my mood and my feelings.”


” I always dress as if I am going to run into my worst enemy or my ex lol!”


” Fashion is a lifestyle and art…”

“… a way of freely expressing yourself!”


Pretty! Love that long pink high slit dress and your color blocking look. You know how to sparkle!

  4. That long blue maxi is hot… but that’s about it. I can see where she was going though. Sorta KimK before Kanye. I adore that blue maxi skirt though. I want. I want. I want.

  7. She has a very glam style where as I prefer a more “relaxed” look but i still voted bombshell. She’s cute, put together and for the most part knows what works well together.

  8. I’m laughing @ myself cause I thought the gold sequins dress was a jumpsuit halter. Good to see sistahs expressing themselves.

  9. @Mikele (Oakland Girl) me too, I couldnt figure out why I just thought she was ok and thats it. I feel like I’ve her look on every 20something black girl in my town. (yes, im black). she just looks like everyone else. Sorry, but Im gonna say too basic.

  10. “The brighter my clothing, the happier I feel”

    I can totally agree and it shows in her looks! Great use of color.

  13. I see where she was going with some of the outfits, but they all fall short to me. The harem outfit for example, the pants are entirely too long and the top looks way to small. The sequined bit looks like an Arden B reject, too customey. I’m sorry if this is sounding harsh, just my honest opinion. I also think that the part down the middle does not work for her face as it overly accentuates her forehead. I think a blunt bang and perhaps a sleek bob would look great on her!

  16. Every piece she had on looks cheap as if been bought at Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe. Now I’m not saying I hate Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe, but its all about how you put your outfits together. Not one outfit is innovative. All I see is a bunch of trendy piece thrown together. I say HMMMM NO MA’AM

  18. **************Claire*******************You should post three pics of different women and we decide who we want to see more of based on the one pic submission. I’m fed up with this foolery. Ugh this is ugly cheap and tacky.

  19. Cute clothes but some of the clothes dont fit her that well (in my opinion). A few of the tops seem way to small for her, particularly look 5 and 6. I like the sparkly jumpsuit!

  21. Trendy. Take that as you want. She’s drawing too much inspiration from the the Instagrams of VH1 reality TV stars and ex-KING magazine models. I bet she spent decent money on a lot of her pieces, but it comes off as cheap.

  25. Umm I think she’s trying to hard. But kudos for color honey….taste the rainbow.

  26. I voted some hits and some misses. I like looks 1, 3, and 4. She has a lot of great pieces it’s just that she needs to put them together better. I like the gold headband and blue maxi skirt. Also you dont have to show your boob and etc. to be sexy. Less is more.

  27. Where to start? The ill-fitting purple pants need to be tailored. Her boobs are too big for that split top with the blue skirt (crossing over to wretchedness). Overall, I think her style is okay, she just needs to find a good tailor and select styles that flatter her shape and size.

  29. It is a little too around the way girl for me. The sequined jumpsuit would’ve maybe worked better with a thick structured belt or a blazer.
    A side sweeping bang would look well on her. She should also try toning things down a little. For example, the blue maxi skirt is fabulous, but it is also sheer so she should be more covered up on top.

  30. She is busting out of her clothes- they are not complimentary to her figure (she appears short/ stocky/curvy to me) The fit of the clothing makes her look cheap-It just doesn’t translate well for me- she’s an attractive girl- I would’ve liked to see her in clothes that were tailored to her figure… less is definitely more- I always say it is not easy putting yourself out here so she definitely gets an “A” for that–I’m not feeling the Louis Vuitton with those outfits either (I’m sure it is a “Pooey Batton)

    Originality seems to be a thing of the past– “good fashion sense” is interpreted by many as having an expensive handbag, pouty colorful lip, a purchased indian mane, and Forever 21 Clothing– Be true to yourself…

  32. I like the pink dress with the cobalt blue shoes. I wonder where she got that dress from?

  33. Cute girl, you can tell she loves colour.

    Personally not a fan of the overly tight clothes, a few ill fitting, especially for some with large breasts (trust me, I know the burden). The purple pants need to be hemmed, they are too long and the top is way too small.

    My favorite on her would be the pink top, yellow shorts, and blue heels. Great blocking and figure flattering.

  34. Well she sure loves her colors! lol PS I love that she’s “Jolie’ing” in the first pic…so fierce! Sucky style tho :(

  36. I never want to tear somebody down, she’s a beautiful young lady, and I like her in the pink Maxi, but in some of the other outfits it looks like she’s trying waaay too hard. Its like she’s dressing for the shape she wants to have as opossed to dressing for the shape she does have. A girl whos thick around the middle like myself needs to keep awya from outfits which emphasise that!

  37. Im from the DMV and Im not feeling her style or pieces – some of her stuff looks cheap and her shoe game is off! She dresses for MALE ATTN IMO!

    That one look the open blouse and blue skirt YUK!

  39. TOTALLY AGREE WITH Choco aka Hipppie

    The make attention is def written ALL OVA DIS ONE!

    sorry not a fan

  43. I think she looks amazing. Very cute in the purple maxi skirt. I also adore her accessory choices ( the head chain) is my favorite. She has the right idea about dressing incase an ex is spotted lol. Her part in the middle is dazzling around her smile and I also love the fact that she can switch it up from casual to night on the town and still look classy and sexy. She’s a Bombshell for sure!!!!!!!!

  45. She has great legs and I think she should tastefully highlight them. I’mma have to vote absolutely not on her being a bombshell though. Some great fashion advice and constructive criticism has been offered by the commenters in this post, I hope she uses it.

  46. I liked all her looks except the length of the purple pants and that split shirt. The pants I don’t mind too much but the shirt is just inappropriate for her bust size and her bra showing like that

  47. First things first the pink maxi is to die for its classic and timeless,the purple maxi skirt and sheer top is current but I appreciate her not goin the American appearal route she put her own spin on it her bag Hair and aviators are dead on also:) color blocking just another + for me!!! She has a lot of key pieces her style screams simplicity in a electric form…And i can digg it!!

  48. She looks a complete and TOTAL mess. Nothing about her looks are inspiring or attractive.

  51. I have been wanting to say this to all 3 bombshells this week and didn’t because if I attempt to give criticism then I’d like it to be constructive and not let me tear you down because that somehow makes my life less pathetic…. I know that fashion rules evolve but when I first started learning about clothe fashion as a pre-teen the number 1 rule was make sure your clothes flatter your body…. and now it seems like people are more concerned with the outfit itself rather than whether or not it works for them…
    I think you’re a beautiful girl and you have a great shape…you see it in the pink maxi dress, the black dress and even the checkerprint dress… but the blue maxi skirt and those purple flowing pants are designed to creat the illusion of curves, you don’t eed the illusion, you hav the real thing… let the girls with no hips where those outfits because it makes them look more curvy

  53. THANKS SO, SO MUCH CLAIRE AND TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU THAT LEFT A COMMENT! I appreciate everything that you guys have said whether good or bad. For those of you that loved my pink maxi dress you can get yours here and my purple palazzo pants… http://primpandproper.bigcartel.com/

    For those of you that loved my purple/blue maxi skirt its Bebe and my sequin jumpsuit was custom made by Ayana of Audacious and Feral.

    Love you all and thanks again! Mwah! Love, Bougie! xoxo

  54. Her style is nice!!! Her HAIR the headliner what brand and kind of hair is that……?….

  56. Hmmm… She likes her colors, doesn’t she? There is definitely potential there but I think she was trying a little too hard. Sometimes when things are a bit overdone or matchy it doesn’t come across as well.

  58. You know you’re not Bombshell caliber when I only like 1 of your looks. The rest of her outfits are a mess!

  60. this is non fashion related but I also hate the way she’s holding that champagne flute. I hate it. and what’s in there, malibu and pineapple? That is nobody’s champagne and I know she’s not drinking mimosas at night.

  64. she dont have bad style she just a little trendy and black girl basic. If she works on fit then she’ll be great.

    The real problem is Claire I think she’s going out her way to put people on here for ridicule/hits/comments. As an editor you should be picking the best of the best not just posting everyone who submits.

    Be selective. Be an editor.

  65. It’s not all bad. Why attack Claire of all people? Why don’t you attack Teka’s friends who let her walk outside looking like a trashy hooker?

  66. I see some issues with length, but other than that her clothes don’t look too tight to me. In fact it looks like she has a great shape. The top with the maxi skirt could have been left out.

  67. Some people on here seem to have a personal vendetta. Commenting on what’s in her glass…REACHING. Someone said “overly accessorized” where? I don’t get the attack on this girl really.

  70. WOW so much negativity! I normally dont comment at all but I had to say something. Beautiful girl, she has taste, not tacky in my opinion at all. Love the pink dress, do you Boo!

  71. I think the pieces that she selected were great, cute, and trendy. But the problem with some of the looks are little but important details like a 1/2 inch too thight waist band or wrong color bra. But she has potential!

    And to Claire, honey be the beauty that you are and continue to be successful in all that you lay your hands to!

  74. Uh…I’m just very confused. It reads “trying very hard to be on trend.” Which is never a good thing. Let’s hope she can actually take some of the feedback. Explore more fashion magazines and fewer Twitter feeds.

  75. Oh dear oh dear. I do not want to tear anyone down or sound rude so I will just say that I love all the colour but there is much room for improvement. Also, that shirt with the front slit needs to be burned, it is not classy.

    She is a beautiful girl with a great smile. Should she dress more to flatter her figure (instead of trying to keep up with the latest trends) she would be a knockout!

  78. WOW! The comments should be disabled again like it was a while ago. People aren’t giving feedback they’re HATING. This may not be your style, my style, and it may not be Claire’s style but it’s HER style. Why bash (negatively)? Why bash Claire for showing diversity? What happened to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism? 90% of the comments are not constructive criticism comments on the fbotd posts. Then the “black girl basic” and “black girls can be so tacky” comments. This is unrelated to fashion but why do black women hate on other black women so whole heartedly? I feel like I see it too often and I’m not just talking about the whole Gabby Douglas craziness.

  81. Oh dear…Teka some of the comments above contain great advice re your frame and size and I think that is what you can take away from this experience…

  82. Recently the choices of bombshell have been highly questionable on this site…What’s going on?

  84. I live in DC and DC is an overly trendy city. I have noticed that dc girls like to express a lot of trends at one time. So her looks is how DC girls dress. I think her style is so DC!

  85. 2nd HER OUTFITS ARE NOT THAT BAD SOME OF YALL ACT LIKE IT THE WORST PIECE OF FASHION, VERY TRENDY I WOULD HAVE LIKE TO SEE MORE PIECES THAT WERE MORE TONED DOWN LIKE NOT SHORT OR TOO TIGHT BUT THAT THE STYLE NOW A DAYS CAN YOU BLAME HER?

  86. First off Claire I love your website. Thank you so much for this POSITIVE site. But I am so tired of the negative comments on the bombshell of the day. What is cute to you might be cute to others. It takes a lot of guts to submit your pictures to be judge by others. Claire, have you ever thought about making a forum for users of your site to submit their pictures for out of the day? I would love to see what people with the negative comments have to say once judged by others

  87. LOL at the commenter whose name is “Twerk” labeling Teka as “tacky”. Oh, the irony makes it too easy. Keep it classy ummm, Twerk.

  90. There’s sooo much potential with all the looks shown here. She just needed a little more direction with the showcased looks, so that they would have a more cohesive flow together. You gotta remember when you submit photo’s to be critique you have to treat it like a photo shoot. It has to make sense.

  95. I agree with Tamara and Truthteller. This blog has never been this negative or hateful, if its not your style, vote no and keep it moving. How many “birds” have started to follow this blog. You have to be pretty miserable to be THIS negative to someone you dont know.

  96. Salut !
    Ma soeur Teka suis ravie a savoir que vous ete une congolaise comme moi, tu present la fierté de notre pays !
    Merci beaucoup je t’aime .

  97. Claire where are you? Disable the comments. This hate is unnecessary and I’m sure the bombshell of the day is not able to weed through the hate to find constructive criticism. Even worse, they are starting to attack you more and more (and it’s pissing me off) ….this is not cool. You provide a great and well respected fashion forum for us all to visit daily and it’s starting to get hella ghetto/trashy on this board. Save what you have worked so had to create and disable the button. When we vote, that should be enough to get our point across. If there are inquiries about what the bombshell is wearing and where to find it, then the fans can contact them directly.
