#HappyFriday!
I’ve been M.I.A. this week but I had to take a quick sec to get into some of our favorite looks of the week. Trust me, the competition is fierce!
So, get comfy as we get into ALL the slayage.
Ready?
1) Ariana Grande in Christian Siriano
Singer/actress Ariana Grande was on hand for the TIME 100 Gala while rocking a black statement-making gown by Christian Siriano. The strapless number also features dramatic tulle accents and a fitted waist. The fashionista accessorized her look with an on-trend diamond choker and her signature high ponytail. Werk!
2) Marlo Hampton in Atsuko Kudo
Marlo Hampton flaunted her enviable bod via Instagram in a red Atsuko Kudo latex strapless dress that screamed “I slay all day!“. To top of her look, the style maven also donned a black harness (which also serves as a choker) and black Gucci Victoire sandals. Yeesss hunttyyy!
3) Jennifer Lopez in Elie Saab
Next up, we have Jennifer Lopez! The superstar shut it down as she hit the streets in a spring-ready periwinkle mini dress by Elie Saab and stunning silver Casadei pumps. Jenny’s frock also includes a high neck and long sleeves. (FYI: I’m still looking for deets on her hand bag, lol!) But, nonetheless, she looks absolutely amazing. C’mon legs!
4) Karrueche Tran in Acler
Karrueche Tran is everywhere, right?! The it-girl/model took a quick moment to pose for Instagram as she rocked a triple-tiered black maxi dress by an Australian brand known as Acler. I’m all for a simple black dress- I mean, you can do no wrong! But, in this case, it was refreshing to see an innovative take on the classic piece. And, shout-out to Bryon Javar on the impeccable styling!
5) Bonang Matheba in Gert-Johan Coetzee
I’m seeing red all over again! South Africa’s own Bonang Matheba shut it down for her followers as she gave us all kinds of life in an embellished red gown by Gert-Johan Coetzee. The floor-grazing frock uplifts a sheer-bodice, ruffle detailing at the hips and loads of color. And, the makeup? Flawless! Ya’ll better stop sleeping on Bonang!
6) Reginae Carter in Color Menae
Lil Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter attended prom this past weekend and she was every bit of chic! The 17-year-old kept it classic and cool as she chose a strapless metallic gown by Color Menae. I’ve seen so many revealing (and questionable) prom dresses over the past few days but this pick was a breath of fresh air. And, the linear detailing is everything! Miss Reginae pulled it all together with a gold purse, drop earrings and soft curls. Slay on!
What do you think of the contenders?
