Are we in 2040 yet? Because Queen Beyoncé looked futuristic and out of this world in a silver metallic Dundas World stage costume that took our breath away.

Offering a different spin than her bedazzled out bodysuits, and over-the-top gowns that are specially adorned, Beyoncé turned it up a notch in a shiny bustier mini dress that had the letter “B” crystalized front and center and was custom designed by Peter Dundas, himself.
Looking ultra modern and like the trailblazer that she is, Bey layered her dress with a Dundas World metallic trench coat with matching gloves and a page boy hat that had had the letter ‘B’ with a crown embroidered.
Her mesh long sleeve top that was layered underneath her mini dress was accented with different shaped mirrors that were hand sewn and added a gleaming touch.

Not to mention her wrap around mirror embellished shades and metallic boots that tied her look together in an avant-garde fashion, and added to her futurism theme.

If you recall, the designer Peter Dundas debuted his eponymous brand in 2017 with Beyoncé performing at the Grammy Awards in a custom Dundas gown while pregnant with twins Rumi, and Sir.
Since then, Dundas has reached critical success, becoming a go-to designer to the world’s biggest celebrities. From Ciara, and Mary J. Blige, to H.E.R and even Michelle Obama, Dundas has proven time and again that his designs are unprecedented and absolutely timeless.
Issa Rae is on the move, with stories to tell and an entertainment industry to conquer.
The Actress and Producer, 38, made an appearance on Good Morning America this week to discuss mentorship and inclusion, while looking ultra posh in a cream LESET crochet ensemble.
Looking effortlessly chic and poised during her interview, the Stanford graduate eloquently touched on mentorship with the GMA hosts.
“I came up not really having mentors in terms of a blueprint for what I wanted to do,” said Rae. “I found that a lot of my peers became my mentors, my network of people, and since then it’s been about coming up together, and now that I found some success in my industry, it’s been now about trying to open the doors for others,” Rae explained.

Towards the end of her interview Issa Rae further expressed,
“My biggest advice is to tap into what makes you “YOU,” she stated. ” I think sometimes we try to adapt too much, especially to corporate culture, and so much of who you are and what makes you unique matters to your journey.”
The 76-piece collection is a merge between Gap’s rich denim heritage, and LoveShackFancy’s dainty floral prints, that always offers a feminine touch.
CiCi spoke about manifesting this moment as she once envisioned herself partnering with Gap and for the campaign her children Future, 9 , and Sienna, 6 , were invited to share this joyous moment.

With her own style, the ‘Level Up’ singer represented at the Gap X LoveShackFancy launch party in one of the brands signature denim floral prints that’s apart of capsule, however chose to customize her own look using the same textile.
Creatively partnering with her fashion stylist, Deonte “DeO” Nash, they both sought out designer Kwame Adusei who’s has dressed CiCi in the past, and is responsible for some of the mega looks for celebs like Lori Harvey, Kylie Jenner and Gabrielle Union.
Using the Gap X LoveShackFancy floral denim print, Adusei designed an oversized biker denim jacket dress that had bold zipper pockets. He took his design one step further by creating custom denim stiletto boots using the same fabric with a 4-inches heel and round pointy-toe.

When I think of fall, I think of quality and texture. So I’m all about corduroy this season. It’s the perf fabric for a day to late evening ‘fit all while handling NYC’s crazy weather changes (i.e cold mornings that turn into hot afternoons and eventually brick evenings).
Modern and beautiful, with a sartorial elegance, the fashion queen herself wore a $2,960 plaid Sergio Hudson suit while celebrating 50 years of Hip-Hop with Nasdaq and Rock the Bells.
While sitting pretty on top of a New York rooftop, one can’t help but notice Ambrose’s bomb accessories which consisted of a custom Khia Tullae NY Knicks hat, that she paired with Brian Atwood pumps that had yellow pompoms.
You know it was hard to miss her bright orange Hermes Birkin bag that was practically to die for. Keeping her jewelry to a minimum, she opted for pearl earrings and gold layered necklaces.

If anyone knows fashion, it’s certainly Ambrose who has a wealth of experience working and styling a variety of different entertainers in the fashion industry. From Jay-Z and Beyonce to Missy Elliot and Mary J Blige, everyone that June touches is gold.

If there’s one thing we love about June, it how fearless she is and how she unapologetically takes calculated risks. If you follow her on Instagram, then you understand how much of a trailblazer she is. Every fierce look she pulls off is always accompanied with catwalks and dramatic twirls which we can’t get enough of.
She wore her black crop top backwards to reveal a slender fit with self tie straps. We adored her clear Cinderella inspired pumps that offered balance to such an edgy ensemble.

Her wool twill trousers feature adjustable pin-buckle straps throughout and were complimented with a flare hemline.
You Ask, We Answer! @ynvlon says, “Please help us find these fire heels that KD is wearing. Thank You.”
Detroit native and rapper, Kash Doll has been looking like a million buck from her bomb hair styles to her enticing shoe candy.
For someone who just gave birth last year, her snatch-back game is real, and she was spotted on her way to the Renaissance concert over the weekend with her girls in a white button up top that she tied and a pair of daisy duke shorts.

When it came down to her accessories, the ‘Ice Me Out’ rapper pulled out her aviator shades, Gucci belt and tied a white Chanel scarf around her neck for a western feel.
Her scarf wasn’t the only component that felt western, as her cow-girl heels practically stole the show. The brown and cognac Cape Robbin Boots that Kash Doll wore only retail for $90, and feature an open-toe and an edgy cutout design with rhinestones placed down to the heel.
You know your boots are giving, when you take a photo of them in front of Beyoncé’s stage and Kash Doll couldn’t wait to have a moment to show them off.
Based on how she and her girls were all smiles, you know they couldn’t wait to see Yoncé perform live in person and among all of their looks, Kash Doll was effortlessly leading the crew.

Nobody can stop Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmer’s shine as she is in her element and a force to be reckoned with. That’s right! A change-maker, an innovator, and a fashion disrupter, Claire is undoubtedly in her own lane!
Representing for women of color in the fashion everywhere, Sulmers made a guest appearance on CBS Mornings with Gayle King to talk about everything from Fashion Bomb daily, to crashing runways shows, and making her own seat at the table.
The hosts of CBS Mornings welcomed Sulmers with an extravagant introduction, praising her for some of her accolades, while also recognizing the contributions that she has made through diversity in the fashion industry.
With a background in Journalism as a Fact Checker at Real Simple Magazine, Claire autonomously started her own blog back in 2006 to showcase people who looked like her, which at the time was practically non-existent in fashion magazines.
From being featured in Teen Vogue as the ‘Blogger of the moment’ with Marc Jacobs, to becoming the CEO of the #1 Multicultural digital fashion platform, Claire has become the queen of her own domain.
“When I was coming in, there really was no blueprint or way in for me, so I had to crash my way in and now that I have a wonderful platform, I want to use it to empower and to uplift people who might not have an opportunity otherwise,” stated Sulmers.
King’s dress originally retailed for $790 but can be purchased on sites like Poshmark and Current Boutique for a fraction of the cost. She chose to accessorize with an Apple Watch and metallic chrome heels that tied her ensemble together.
During the interview, King expressed, “I love Fashion Bomb Daily because it’s not snarky, and it’s not mean-spirited,” and inquired, “how do you explain what it [Fashion Bomb daily] is and what it does?” To which Sulmers responded, “We’re educationally aspirational, and so we just present people with great style.”
“My mission in everything that I do is to highlight and uplift people,” explained Sulmers. “If you have a passion for fashion and you’re motivated, then you can get a featured on Fashion Bomb daily.”
It was great to see our CEO, Claire Sulmers and Gayle King unite on CBS Mornings to discuss how Fashion Bomb daily has changed the game, ultimately influencing diversity and inclusion in the fashion realm.
As the interview came to a close, Sulmers shared that Fashion Bomb Daily will be hosting our 3rd annual “The Bomb fashion show” that will be taking place on September 9th during NYFW.
