This weekend was all about the grown and sexy, and we’re featuring quite a few fab women who show us how to grow gracefully fashion-wise! Let’s take a look?
Gal-about-town Genevieve Jones popped up at Columbia Records’ All Points West afterparty in a short tank jumper paired with mid-calf suede boots. Loving her bronze glow and loose, wavy locks but I’m not a convert yet to the whole “boots in summer” movement and this outfit seems a little too off-kilter and unexciting, Hmm…
The hardest working woman in showbiz, Beyoncé, opened the Las Vegas leg of her tour this weekend at the Wynn and used the chance to showcase some new Sasha Fierce threads. The structured jacket piece worn over a blue-grey leotard looks quite similar to one of the silhouettes she rocked in the “Diva” video, which I love for the dramatic take it gives on her natural hourglass shape, and the pop of red lipstick and tilted eyeline only enhances the dramatic look–loves. Mrs. Carter keeps giving ’em major fashion on this tour…
Ageless wonder and R&B star Chilli attended NBAF’s Midsummer Gala in the ATL wearing a darling little halter maxi dress with paisley print. Her simple wavy hair and thong sandals are subtle enough to let the dress make most of her fashion statement yet lend the outfit a casual-cool edge. Quite cute for the former TLC member!
Normally, I’m not a huge fan of Vivica Fox’s style but I must say that with this outfit, homegirl is giving lessons on how to be in your 40s and fab, which she celebrated at her birthday party in Toronto this weekend. Her tangerine baby-doll dress is the perfect combo of flirty and sexy, not to mention her fab tribal platforms and coordinated gold jewelry. Liking her tumble of long curls and warm peachy makeup, too–nicely done for Ms. Fox…
Speaking of ageless wonders, Ms. Jodi Watley gave a concert at B.B. King’s in NYC this weekend looking fabulous. A little Vegas, a little Studio 54, with a pop of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” thrown in (that glove and bracelets!), she sparkled in a sequin top, body-hugging Lycra pants, and her trademark oversize hoops. Loved her back when she was Lookin’ for a New Love and love her now–fierce!
Christina Milian kept the sequin trend going at the “Bring It On: Fight to the Finish” premiere in a slinky mini caftan number with a colorful graphic design. Again, here’s a great example of allowing a flashy piece to speak for itself and striking a balance with subtle pieces: her basic black pumps, sleek hair, and strategic pop of pink add dimension to the outfit without overwhelming her centerpiece, the dress. Sweet style for La Milian :-)
What say y’all, Bombshells?

I’m feelin the new costume on Bey, and I must agree that Vivica actually looks pretty chic here for once (especially the multi-colored heels). Now Chili–mess. You can only ride on that flawless skin and hair for so long, mama. Step up your game–my grandma has more style in her left pinky toe!www.trendplicity.com
Chilli and Jody Watley are the two of this set that looks great. Beyonce, Genewhatevea, Vivica and Christina looks ri-got-dang-diculous. Bey looks like something from a fairytale, Vivica is too old for that teenage outfit, Christina either needs to get pants or return that mess to Blanche Devereaux and the other chick is not worth another comment.
