Anna Diop was the lady in red at the Greenleaf Premiere in the same $480 Self Portrait Red Cutout Ponte Jumpsuit Paula Patton originally wore just last week:
Anna paired her look with a chic topknot and gold accoutrements, while Paula chose python print pumps.
The ponte jumpsuit features an on-trend, off-the-shoulder silhouette, an internal gummed strip, a front cutout, cropped legs, and pressed seam detailing.
Both ladies worked the look!
What do you think? Who wore it better?
Perspex heels have caught on like a flame to a match! And, it’s almost impossible to escape their wrath. We’ve seen some our favorite fashionistas (including Victoria Beckham and Anna Dello Russo) rock this edgy accent while effortlessly killing it.
Dior shook the fashion scene with their iconic patent ankle boots while Yeezy even released his own perspex lovelies that retail for around $500 (YIKES!). I also found it funny that the Fashion Bomb Daily writers are equally enthused about this statement-making trend – I swear, we all purchased the SAME Public Desire versions, lol!

Signing Out — Esmesha
Tony Award winning actress Cynthia Erivo can’t quite seem to escape any reference made to the Broadway hit, The Color Purple, that catapulted her career into stardom. The British beauty walked the purple carpet in London for Aladdin: The Musical while wearing a Giles Deacon Spring 2015 Laster Cut Floral Neckline Sleeveless Dress.
In variegated shades of pewter, magenta and gold, this gown features an ornate neckline festooned with floral appliqués. The laser cut full skirt continues the floral motif, almost in a patchwork like pattern without evoking too much of a gaudy aesthetic.
Well, you can most certainly count on a celebrated thespian to bring the drama, and this gown was the perfect choice for Cynthia. With her blonde buzz cut and radiant skin, this look is definitely befitting of a woman who can handle any bold look. In a nutshell, Cynthia slayed. This and her Roberto Cavalli choice for the Tony Awards are clear indications that she’s well on her way to be one to watch on the carpet. Soft makeup and Jennifer Fisher earrings completed her look. What do you think? Are you into Cynthia Erivo’s intricate gown, or is there, hmm…too much happening here?

Muva Rose has always been one pretty fly gal. Over the years we’ve watched Amber Rose grow from model to video vixen to entrepreneur, muse to girlfriend to wife, and party gal to mother.
While we’ve watched Amber Rose take on a variety of roles over the years, we couldn’t help but delve into her style choices and her evolution over the years! Plus, she definitely puts on for all the curvy girls out there!
Amber Rose has always been a natural beauty, sporting her blonde buzz cut and curvy frame as part of her marketed aesthetic. Her style has always been pretty simple, however, she shows us that simple certainly doesn’t mean basic!
Even in her Kanye days (which was how many of us learned about the statuesque beauty), Amber’s approach to fashion was simple, clean, and form-fitting. One thing that Amber has constantly shown us over the years is if you’ve got it, flaunt it! Her natural ‘party girl’ and edgy look have always been spotted in her style, where the majority of her day to day looks might include leggings, moto jacket and a poppin’ pair of sunshades.
Though her style has definitely changed over the years, Amber continues to remain true to what she knows rocks for her and her body. Colorful looks, stepping up her designer wares, and sporting her simple-yet-chic style, Amber Rose is definitely a fun one when it comes to the fun world of fashion.
But let’s take a look at Amber’s looks, shall we? Check out our curated gallery where we go back to her Kanye days and bring you up to present day.
What do you think? How do you feel about Muva Rose’s style?
Taraji P. Henson picked up The Lucy Award for Excellence in Television at the Women in Film 2016 Crystal + Lucy Awards. For the occasion, she slipped on a Marc Jacobs Fall 2016 Black Leather Embellished Ruched Dress:
Taraji eschewed the runway’s striped socks and sky-high platforms for simple black pumps that let the showstopping dress play centerstage.
On the fence about the dress, but her hair and makeup were on point! And no one is more deserving this year of this award.
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
*And you know Taraji gives a great speech! In it, she addressed the gender pay gap stating, “If I do a job just as well as a man, people tune-in every week, they see me, they root for me just like they root for him—why should my pay be less?”
She also implored all the women in the audience to have each other’s backs and stand up for one another. “We’re all we got ladies. If we don’t support each other who will?”
Right on Taraji, we couldn’t have said it better!
Taking advantage of the sunny weather in New York City, Chanel Iman was snapped shopping it up in SoHo in a $372 For Love & Lemons ‘Mia’ Peach Maxi Dress.
This nylon-blend peach colored number features vine like, white embroidery throughout, elevating its ethereal appeal.Its sheer mesh panels and lack of lining makes this frock ere on the sexy side, but is offset by a modest length and flowing silhouette. Chanel Iman always manages to look effortless, even when she’s not all glammed up or sauntering down the red carpet in the finest designer duds. But is her summertime frock worth the $372? If you think so and have some extra cash to spare, you can shop the dress here. An easy ponytail, round sunnies, strappy flat sandals and a matte nude lip complete her look. What say you? How would you rock it if you splurged?
Heidi Klum was spotted in NYC in the same $845 Stella McCartney Stretch Denim Overalls both Jourdan Dunn and Hilary Duff have already worn:
Heidi paired the denim all-in-one with $139 Michael Kors Playa Norte Sunglasses and a Birkin. A white t-shirt and Adidas kicks were Jourdan Dunn’s accents. And last, but not least was Hilary who wore it similarly to Heidi with no top underneath.
The 70’s-inspired overalls feature snap-fastening shoulder straps, a fitted bodice, wide legs, and pressed creases.
All three ladies looked cute!
What do you think? Who wore it better?
