Ayesha and Stephen Curry are known for far more than whipping in the kitchen and throwing the perfect shot. The Curry’s have been making waves in fashion, and we have one woman from the sixth side to thank. Meet, Sheraine Robinson, 25 year old Toronto native, and wardrobe stylist to Golden State Warrior Stephen Curry.
Not only is Sheraine Steph’s stylist, she’s also wardrobe stylist for his wife, Ayesha, who just released a baby mocassin line in collaboration with Freshly Picked. We had the chance to catch up with the Sheraine during the finals, one of the most busy times in the NBA, to give you tips on how she broke into fashion.
She says, “I got into fashion seriously when I was in high school. People would always comment (good and bad) about the outfits I put together. Soon people started asking me to help them find outfits. That’s when I knew there was something there.”She explains that she knew fashion was for her at a very young age, “As a child, I was always pretty vocal about what I wanted to wear.”
The budding stylist attended University of Carleton as a psychology major. Eventually, Sheraine’s love for fashion lead her to her dream occupation. She practices the art of mixing high and low pieces to create the perfect ensemble. Sheraine describes her personal style as, “Versatile; I never stick to one trend. I literally just wake up and put on whatever I feel matches my mood that day. I’m the girl in the club wearing sneakers one day, and then a bomb pair of heels the next. I get dressed up some days and I’m not even going anywhere. It really just depends on how I feel!”
Sheraine cites June Ambrose as one of her style influences, “I’ve always called her my fashion fairy Godmother. [I’m also feeling Rihanna’s style.] I love the carefree ‘do what I want’ attitude she has when it comes to her style.”
She discovered her love for fashion as a child, studied psychology in college, and she chooses ensembles based on her mood. So, how did she land a gig styling one of the best basketball players in the league? “Knowing Ayesha for many years, she’s watched as I’ve gone through the motions of turning my love of fashion into a career and lifestyle. After starting out doing closet revamps, about a year ago the opportunity was presented to me to be their stylist.” Currently Sheraine works solely with the Curry’s. What a client’s dream it must be to have a stylist all to themselves!
Sheraine describes the Curry’s personal style as young and fresh, she says, “They stay pretty true to themselves, but are still open minded to try new things.”
Styling isn’t all glitz and glam, just like every other occupation! The job has its downsides, like hauling a dozen bags down the street! In reference to the best/worst parts about being a fashion stylist, Sheraine offers, “I can honestly say that every part of my job is the best, I’ve been blessed to be able to do something I love, see places I’ve never seen, and many people don’t get that opportunity. The most exciting parts for me would be the fitting process, and then seeing the actual looks in motion. The worst part for me right now would be carrying heavy garment and shopping bags! I always think about how funny I must look walking down the street with what seems like a thousand bags sometimes. I’m still pretty fresh in the game, so I’m sure that may or may not change in the future!”
In terms of advice for aspiring stylists, she says, “Network, It’s really a major part of the industry. Be resilient, always work towards your goal. Intern and/or job shadowing, hands on experience is priceless!”
There is nothing more rewarding to a stylist than a client that understands their vision, and trusts their stylist enough to know they’ll never steer them wrong.

Her top features long, semi-loose sleeves, a deep plunging v-neck, frontal tie, button accents at the wrists, and a high-low style with a dropping back.
Intricate threadwork embroidery covers the entire silk-lined cocktail dress. The stunner is detailed with a fitted bodice and flouncy cap sleeves.
Her Italian crafted black suede sandals are finished with button-like straps that mimic the label’s signature laser-cut patterns. They’re interspersed with polished gunmetal pyramid studs to add a hint of shine.

Serena Williams may just in fact exude every ounce of #BlackGirlMagic one can have. And we are all the way here for it. As this month’s ‘Glamour’ girl, we wanted to delve a little more into what makes Serena just so effortlessly beautiful.
We’ve had the opportunity over the past few years to really see Serena Williams on and off the tennis court. Not only has she recently made headlines OFFICIALLY as theworld’s highest paid female athlete, but we also have seen her grace magazine cover after cover, give a riveting performance on Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ visual album, and celebrate with the premiere of her documentary, ‘Serena’.
While Serena has been in the spotlight and talked about incessantly for the strangest of things (her alleged relationship with Drake, her muscular physique or even the silly pokes about how she REALLY has curves), one thing nobody can deny is just how pretty Serena Williams is.Her approach to makeup and beauty is quite refreshing, feeling as if she’s never trying too hard. A rosy pink or nude lip and filled in Kardashian-style eyebrows usually is her style of choice. And while we tend to see her sport her curly locs when she hits the red carpet, every once in a while she’ll switch it up for a straight sleek look or maybe even a bob.
Not only is Serena Williams physically beautiful, but she also teaches through actions that everyone should embrace their beauty. After being awarded one of People Magazines ‘Most Beautiful People of 2016’ award, Williams came under fire when it appeared her image had been photoshopped. She immediately released the real photo of her, showing others that the true, unaltered version of themselves really is their best.
Serena Williams has inspired countless women (myself included) that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being the best at what you do. Her unapologetic nature and sassy woman empowerment have inspired generation after generation of young women that they too, with hard work, can succeed.
On and off the court, Serena Williams exudes grace, poise, internal and external beauty, inspiring us all to break those glass ceilings in our life!
All of that is why Serena Williams is our Beauty Crush Wednesday, is she yours?
Another night, another stylish party! A few of Tinseltown’s most gorgeous were present for The 2016 Women in Film Max Mara Face of the Future celebration.
Here are their looks!
Serayah is all about the crop top this week! She sported a white off-the-shoulder version of the midriff-baring top and matching high-waist trousers from Cushnie et Ochs. Hot!
Kat Graham chose a Max Mara Silk Floral Ponera Blouse and matching $270 Pants from the brand. Pretty no?
