Weekend Instagram Hot! or Hmm…: The 2015 ESSENCE Festival, Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn & more!

This weekend was undoubtedly a busy one with a myriad of celebrations going on all over the globe.  From fashion show fiestas to 4th of July fetes, and the Essence Festival (somewhere I MUST be next year), stars were everywhere showcasing their designer duds.  But who set off fireworks with their looks, and who made the spark die out?  Let’s take a look!

 First up is supermodel Naomi Campbell.  Speid at the Miu Miu resort wear afterparty in Paris, the goddess wore an ethereal, low-cut Alaïa frock for the festivities, uplifting her outfit with beachy waves and a flower in her hair.  Hot!

 Another top model, Cara Delevingne hit up the red carpet in Australia for the premiere of her new movie Paper Towns.  She wore a hunter green mini dress by Dion Lee, with a sexy cut-out back.  The color was so rich, and her, new strawberry blond mane was the perfect offset.  Striking eyeshadow pulled this hot look together quite nicely.

 Singer Estelle was all smiles at the Verizon booth during the Essence Festival in New Orleans this weekend.  Wearing a crop top and long, pleated skirt by Milly by Michelle Smith, there’s no denying how fun and picture perfect she was.

 June Ambrose and Empire star Bryshere Gray also partook in a few Essence Festival activities.  The two posed for a pic, which could’ve almost resulted in a “Who Wore It Better?” showdown.  But the two looked as cool as ever in their black and white outfits.
Solange, Kelly Rowland, Missy Elliott, and Beyonce posed it up for a Essence Fest after party. Everyone looks fresh faced and beautiful!

Jourdan Dunn loves experimenting with different looks, and this time, she let her hair do the talking. Before heading to the Wireless Festival, the supermodel snapped a selfie of her newly dyed gray/teal/lavender hair while wearing a Moschino crop top.  Very cute look for Miss Dunn.

 Nicole Scherzinger was photographed before hitting up the Kathie Lee and Hoda show.  She looked every bit the diva in a pair of aviators, a $177 House of CB ‘Katana’ bodycon, bandage dress, and nude Kurt Geiger ‘Britton’ pumps.  I loved the color on her, but it does remind me of the countless Herve Leger’s Kim K.W. wore almost every day a few years ago.

 Draya Michele loves a good time and a cool ensemble.  So she went for something upbeat, fun and festive this 4h of July in a custom Duckie Confetti sequined jersey, denim shorts, sneakers, and a Chanel purse.  Love the laid back look.

 Naturi Naughton is hitting the Power press tour hard; getting the word out about the upcoming season.  She loves making her looks vibrant and fun, which this $200 Finders Keepers ‘Next In Line’ tropical printed mini dress can attest to.  Love it!

 Tia Mowry-Hardrict is still celebrating her birthday with hubby, Cory.  The event was Havana Nights themed, so this Stop Staring printed halter 50’s dress was the perfect fit.  Hoop earrings and $398 Stuart Weitzman ‘Nudist’ sandals completed her look while Cory offset a tropical printed shirt with a straw hat.  So cute, these two!

That’s it for this week!  Who were your faves?
