The fashionable were out en force this weekend as we rung in spring! Though most still sported winter-appropriate basic black, it didn’t stop a few bright tones from peeking through–let’s take a look…
Over in her home state of Texas, Bomb favorite Solange kept it to the beat of her own drum in a tuxedo blazer, tiered tank top, and a sky blue mini skirt with cloud prints. The matching sky blue makeup and fuchsia pumps lend the outfit Solo’s signature offbeat quirk and for a look only she could probably rock…cute and hot!
Here in NYC, UK popster Estelle sported black trousers and leather with pops of color from a patterned silk chiffon scarf, silver accessories, and an electric blue pedi. I’m feeling the pieces individually but something about them all together makes the outfit a bit too cluttered, hmm…
In L.A., sexy siren Eva Mendes goes for sophisticated with a ribbed silk sheath in eggshell and scarlet suede pumps. Her tousled waves and simple yet eye-catching accessories only make the look more well-rounded. Definitely a simmering hot!
Back on the East coast, Charlie’s Angel Lucy Liu played angel to a group of young Asian women and looked dazzling while doing so. Her waist-cinched black and white skirt and short-sleeved blouson blouse are appropriately chic for an afternoon of inspiring the kids. Hot!
And up in Toronto, Fashion Bomb newbie and Canadian music personality Traci Melchor went for funky and tailored in a grey, ruffle-hemmed sheath with black piping, opaque tights, and dark grey patent leather booties. Her corset-like belt and Stephen Sprouse Vuitton speedy also give the outfit a nice edge. Hot!
What say you?

I’m really loving Traci Melchor, and Lucy Liu’s ensembles… very chic.
Solange has her own signature style, that only she can pull off.
I applaud Solange for trying to be different, but her outfits scream look, look look at me.
I love love love Solange and her personal style. I resent the previous comment. I don’t think her style screams look at me. It just says “i don’t have to look like everyone else to feel fashionable and chic”. Homegirl is comfortable in her own skin. That allows her to take fashion risk that most of us would to too afraid to do b/c of the worry of what others might think .
Solange’s eye thing really throws me off when I look at that picture.
I agree with Kuuzak, Solange’s eye make-up does throw me off. I don’t like the line across the nose but, I like the line on the side of the face. Also, I don’t think that her outfits scream look at me, look at me. I think people assume that’s what she wants b/c they assume that she is obsessed with getting out her sister’s shadow but people forget that Solo has a life of her own and did things before Bey ever thought of it. She got married, had a baby, and divorced before Bey. And when Bey and Jay got married you didn’t hear anyone accusing Bey of copying her sis. People are simply trying to create drama and sibling rivalry b/t two sisters who seem very close.
you’re right only solange can get away with little things like that. but its cute on her. the eyemakeup got me the first time i saw her with it, but by the 2nd, 3rd time around grows on you. and as much as i love louis, i did not like that sprouse speedy until i just saw traci’s ensemble with. definitely worked it. nice post claire.
