While you guys are generally lukewarm about Fashion Bombers, you go in and let have for our Fashion Bombshells! Whether nice or nasty, you have no issue voicing your opinions.
For Best of 2013, we’re highlighting those Bombshells who made it on your nice lists with flying colors. It was actually really hard to whittle down the list, though we did decide upon 10 finalists.
In no particular order…
1. Cynthia from New York
From polka dotted playsuits to printed sheaths, Cynthia’s submission was more than on point!
The long time reader and blogger for Addicted2Etsy.com took a few years to send in some flix, but we’re glad she did! She secured a 91% ‘Bombshell’ rating out of 990 votes, and Reeezy wrote in, “Yaassss to the clothes, hair, shoes & confidence! Bombshell!”
Is she our Bombshell of the Year?
See more here and on Instagram @simplycyn.
2. Mbu from South Africa
Madame Mbu is the owner of Hombakazi Vintage Cabin, a South African pop up store, and was nominated by admirer Zona.
We loved her cropped haircut–and flavorful outfits caused unmatched excitement! Wildflower Elo gushed, “BRAVO!!!! Now that is what gets my fashion juices flowing. Yes!!!!”
Check her initial post here.
3. Tsholo from Botwana
We first caught wind of Tsholo’s eclectic style in our How Do You Wear It? Feature, and were happy to have her send in pictures for a full blown Bombshell feature.
She received the most written in nominations and made Andie say, “In a league of her own. I LOVE [her] style!”
Do you?
Reminisce on her looks here and see more on Instagram @thekhoi_fro.
4. Stella from Maryland
Prints and patterns carried punch with Stella from Maryland’s nuanced selection of pictures.
The blogger from Jadore-Fashion.com offered unbridled variety, including a few (fly) maternity pix to boot! Like2Smize appreciated the diversity, writing, “The hands down BEST BOMBSHELL in a very long time. She is great…I sense a deeper understanding of color, pattern, body-type appropriateness and proportion than we usually see here. Those things are key to being a true BOMBSHELL. And a bomb lip color doesn’t hurt either. WERK Mother Nigeria!”
Remember her ensembles in her post and check her out on Instagram @JadoreFashion.
5. Alicia from NYC
Alicia first appeared on our computer screams back in January–clearly her looks were worth remembering!
The Advertising Exec’s outfits skewed corporate with a cute twist, and you guys went gaga, offering her a 80% ‘Bombshell’ vote out of 1,535 ballots! Soul Touch typed, “Bombshell. Great look, great style, great body, great legs.” Agreed!
Take a look at her post from January 2013 here and be sure to stop by her blog HintofGlamour.com.
6. Tiffany from Arizona
Tiffany tantalized viewers with her spot on trends and creative combinations, making her a certified favorite and fixture in our How Do You Wear It? Section.
From body hugging skirts to mixed prints combos, the blogger for The-Werk-Place.com brought it each time. 92% of 1,657 people declared, “Finally! Now This is a Bombshell!”, and Loni declared, “I am so in love! This is fashion. She is everything. Thank you Tiffany!!!”
Check out all her ensembles here and on IG @TheWerkPlace.
7. Bonang from South Africa
It seems all our South African Bombshells are submitted by admirers, as was the case with the beautiful Bonang.
Turns out Ms. Bonang is actually quite the celebrity in South Africa, and is known as an entrepreneur, DJ, and a TV Host. It figures–she certainly has ‘it.’
See a handful of her best looks here and check out her website BonangMatheba.com.
8.Bianca from Romania
Biana was our very first Romanian Bombshell, and stood out thanks to her blue steel stare and sassy shoe game.
You guys were really feeling her! T1K wrote, “Very clean! Love it! Weerk Bianca!!” and Simiyalala added, “Kabomb! Elegant with dashes of color. Well put together. Well done, mi gyal.”
But was she the best Bombshell of 2013?
Take a look back here.
9. Paris from Memphis
Paris from Memphis seduced all of us with her sultry stare and simple yet chic looks.
The University of Memphis student, AKA, and Makeup Artist was super popular, with 1,651 voting on her post, the majority declaring her a Bombshell. Sha excitedly typed, “Very pretty girl!! Her fashion sense is very on point!! Love her looks! Kudos pretty girl!!!”
Take a look at her sleek outfits here and on Instagram @parischanel.
Kia Denise was one of my personal favorites. How can you go wrong with killer heels, tailored separates, and a mix of casual, edgy, and chic?
The owner from FromMyStyle2Urs locked down 84% of 1,309 votes leaving Style4Curves in convulsions as she wrote, “YES GAWDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!” LOL.
See her submission here, and catch more of her flix @KiaDenise.
And that does it! It was really tough to filter it down to those 10, but we think they’re deserving, no?
At any rate, who was the Best Bombshell of 2013?
Smootches!
*Sidenote: Yasss for geographic diversity. I love it and all the beauty you guys brings from all corners of the globe.
Tiffany from Arizona!!!!!
Cynthia, Alicia, Bonang. In that order.
Yesss to all the candidates though!
I voted for the wrong person. I thought they were in order by the way they were listed.
Tiffany from Arizona, hands down.
I’m excited that my comment on Paris from Memphis made it into the finale!! LOL!!
All these ladies have great style!!
Kudos to you all!!
PARIS FROM MEMPHIS !
Paris from MEMPHIS!!!!! YAY, There are limited resources in Memphis (no high end stores and you can count on your hands how many places you can go and shop)and Paris looks like she shops in New York City on a regular. So excited for you girl!!!!!!Also, a shout out to Adrian from Indianapolis.My FAV…..
My vote is for Tiffany from thewerkplace. I love how she mixes print and has a great eye for unique pieces
Sending a huge thank you to Claire and The Fashion Bomb Daily team for the nomination. I’ve so grateful to be on the list
Tiffany from The Werk! Place
http://www.the-werk-place.com
where are the voting buttons? Loved them!
Alicia,Bonang, Tiffany.. Those are my top 3! and they’re not in order..
My vote goes to Stella from maryland. Love kia’s style too.
Belledazzy.blogspot.com
I forgot Tiffany was a bombshell this year…that rattles my vote. She blew everyone out of the water with her print mixing and wearability. I’mma have to roll with her!
I am screaming TIFFFFANNY!!!!!!
I follow her blog and she inspires me often with her fashion sense.
I wish i could recast my vote! Tiffany did that! She is the winner!
Tiffany!!!!!!!
Kia or Paris I can’t decide but as stated where are the voting buttons?
Tiffany’s style is so chic and she mixes prints amazingly! I still follow her style.
Botswana,you did make us proud Tsholo,much love..
I can’t vote. They were all amazing!
TIFFANY hands down!!!
Tsholo,love the black and white_like Coco once said black it all and white too.Love the combination of color
This list is greatness!!! But Tiffany @thewerkplace hands down!!! Mixing of patterns & her style is so clean & refined!
Tiffany! #Werk
Tsholo.. The first look..!
Between Kia and Paris for me!
Cynthia!
Cynthia for sure!
Soooo difficult. they are all amazing. I honestly cant choose. congrats to all of the ladies!!
Tiffany from the Werk Place is WHAT’S NEXT in general. She has as FANTASTIC eye and takes some of the same piece that many of these other young women see in H&M and Zara and makes something magical happen. She is so fashion forward and humble in her presentation – iLIVE. She is peerless as far as I’m concerned. A close second would be Cynt and then Tsholo. These are great selections though.
I vote for Cynthia!
T-T-Tiffany!
Vote for my LS Tiffany!
Hmm, I recall being wowed by other Bombshells this years (the names escape me) but if this is based on the voting scale, then so be it and let Tiffany win the year. That said, I really don’t think Bianca should have the least votes. Love the diversity this year too.
Something to consider next year FBD Team: Most contentious bombshell.
You know, those votes that skew all over the place. It would be interesting to see, at year end, if the consensus is the same once all the year’s trends have passed.
Tiffany is Amazing !!!!!
This year got to be the worst year for bombshells. 90 percent of the bombshells this year were just horrible and 7 percent were just mmmm okay and 3 percent were real fashion bombshells. I am expecting better next year. The blurry pictures lets leave those for instagram, and lets just not feature big girls for the sake of it lets feature those with real fashion to inspire other women. Also spandex fashion should be out period. Looking Forward to a real Fashion year 2014. lets get fashionbombshell were it used to be , now its becoming a place to get a good chuckle, and thats not a good thing.
i vote for tsholo and mbu in this order. very different and fresh
Tiffany for the win! great style, loved that metallic look on the original post. And no, I didn’t vote for her just b/c we have the same name :-).
There is absolutely no question that every single girl on this list is a BOMBSHELL!! It is great to see the diversity in the style and fashion of these beautiful ladies.
However, I believe that the fashion bombshell of the year should go to the lady who took RISKS and made it WERKKKKKKK! So ladies, please lets be honest and real with our votes!! Following the ‘trend’ and ‘norm’ and looking good doesn’t qualify as the fashion bombshell of the year. I see a couple of girls trying to garner votes from their social networking pages. That is a NO NO!!
The top should honestly be Tsholo from Botswana, Mbu from South Africa and Cynthia from New York. They stepped OUTSIDE the box and took risks that worked for them.
Lets vote realistically. Please.
Sincerely,
A loyal FBD reader
xoxo
My vote is for Tiffany!
All the ladies are fashionable and beautiful; however, it would have been nice if one of the ladies who represented corporate/professional fashion had been included on the final list. As a professional woman, five of my seven days each week do not allow for spandex, thigh high skirts/shorts, exposed midriffs, and/or excessively exposed cleavage. However, in general, I have found that this fashion site caters to more of the artistic demographic on one end (e.g., colorful and boldly patterned vintage pieces) and the career Instagram fashionista/nightclub frequenter (e.g., extremely tight clothing, exposed bare skin, sky high colorful high heels) on the other end.
I thoroughly enjoy this site but I would love to see more coverage of professional yet stylish fashion. I think the positive commentary for Wednesday’s Fashion Bombshell, Lillian – the attorney, reflects the enthusiasm for seeing more professional, sophiscated, conservative yet sexy fashion.
All the best,
MC
Alicia all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
P A R I S..sorry how do we vote..just comment?.. :/
Bonang!
such a bad year for Fashion Bombs but I’d say Tiffany for sure. She was consistent, her stuff actually fits lol and her clothes don’t look recycled.
Tsholo from Botswana, different and execution. Love live!!
Tiffany all the way! Many of them are amazing, but she is hands-down the most creative of the bunch. She gets my vote for sure!!
Alicia from NYC, sophistication + swag! It’s her edgy take on the classic and her tailoring is impeccable, she just understands fabric and tailoring but mixes in just enough “BOOM” to show you how it’s supposed to be done.
Tough call, each of the ladies brought something to the table.
I luv that they have blogs, I can continue to be inspired :)!
It’s between Paris, Tiffany, and Alicia, for me. But Bonang looked great too and Kia repped Philly well
Tiffany from AZ!!!!
It’s suuuch a tough choice. I’m stuck on Tiffany from AZ and Stella from MD. The fact that Stella ROCKED out during her pregnancy is like, a +500. Ugh, they’re both winners in my book, So much hotness in this entire post!
Had to go back and pair top looks from Tiff and Stella, Stella takes top!
My number 1, 2 and 3 pick go to Cynthia.
@Teyana You took the words right out of my mouth. The top should be Tsholo from Botswana, Cynthia from New York and Bonang from South Africa.
This is not a popularity contest or who has the most fans on social media. It is about Real Style. Let’s not get things twisted nor confused here. Anybody else is a big hmmm for me.
Death to body con dresses, tight clothes, breast showing and ripped jeans. They ain’t stylish one bit. However, yes to more polish looks. One of these three ladies that I mentioned should win.
BONANG MATHEBA!!! She ALWAYS (I mean always from the grocery store to the red carpet) looks amazing and I’ve met her a couple of times she is SAs biggest and by far sweetest star!
TIFFANY! She WERKED it for sure!
Cynthia then Bonang………
Bonang and Tsholo are FASHION hands down.
BONANG!!! She flawless. Her style is Bonan’ging…
Tiffany from The Werk Place. Love her and get so much fashion inspiration from her looks.
TIFFANY FROM ARIZONA!!!!!!! HER STYLE IS DEFINITELY OUT OF THE BOX!!!
I have religiously stalked Tifffanys blog since becoming a bombshell on here. Tiffany is ahead of curve on all of these lovely ladies….. Her fashion sense is inventive… I would love for her to shop my closet and arrange some outfits for me. She is innovative…. Flawless … she woke up like this ….she woke up like this.
i agree Fashion bombshell has been lukewarm this year. Claire you need to do better, seriously you have a whole team and this year its like you guys gave up and just featured anybody who submitted their pictures without putting some thoughts into. its like yu guys lost your mojo in 2011 or something. come on now
Tiffany. No competition.
Tiffany from Arizona
Tiffany from Arizona is AMAZING!!
I love them all, they are all Fashion Bombs in my opinion and love the diversity amongst them all. I applaud all of them for their courage, they all showed up and showed out. It was so hard to make a decision this year but I must say that I have been a fan of Tiffany for thee longest so she absolutely gets my vote.
Tsholo gets my vote. She is very colourful and vibrant like myself. She is natural and I love that African Sista vibe she has going on. Keep it up girl @AmbitiousJemz
I still follow Tiffany and Alicia’s blogs to this day. Great bombshells!
