Beauty Crush Wednesdays #BCW: Serena Williams

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.Serena-Williams-by-Norman-Jean-Roy-for-Glamour-Magazine-July-2016-1

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’.Serena-Williams-by-Norman-Jean-Roy-for-Glamour-Magazine-July-2016-2serena williams harper's bazaar 201 february

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.Serena+Williams+2016+Hopman+Cup+Player+Party-perthserena-williams-sports-illustrated-person-of-the-year-2015-ceremony-aaron-gray-1Her 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. serena williams new york times magazine

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. Tennis champ Serena Williams attended a Wimbeldon launch event in London.

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.0 Serena Williams's French Open Acceptance Photos Black and White Slit Front Pencil SkirtSerena williams vanity fair after party ines de santos red gown

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?

Lastly, Model Charlotte McKinney gave us very chill laid back vibes in a House of CB rose gold duster coat, white crop top, ripped denim jeans and pale pink heels. My ONLY issue with this look is the wrinkling…..does someone have an steamer?

janelle monae amandla stenberg solange knowles fashion panel

While the United States is regressing in terms of hate and prejudice, the fashion world seems to be turning over a new leaf, featuring a slew of artists of color in their 2016 campaigns.

While international pop stars like Rihanna and Nicki Minaj have appeared in ads for luxury brands in the past, posing pretty for Dior, Balmain, Roberto Cavalli, and more, this season ushers in more niche artists that lack the same amount of buzz, but espouse the same intangible cool factor that translates across cultures. Today, Marc Jacobs announced that Missy Elliott will appear in his Fall 2016 ads.

On Instagram, he mused, “MISSY, Supa Dupa Fly From the moment I heard, The Rain, back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliott. Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks. In addition to the boundless energy of her music are the visually pulsating and wildly cartoon-like music videos she made in collaboration with the talented and visionary, Hype Williams. I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I’m happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall ’16 campaign.”

This news comes on the heels of A$AP Rocky’s appointment as a face of Dior Homme.

Typically white washed Chanel handpicked Willow Smith as their muse back in March.

And her brother Jaden was a star of Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer campaign.

A brand favorite, he has occupied the front row at many LV shows, most recently the house’s Cruise 2017 show in Rio de Janeiro.

A change is certainly happening and we’re here for it!

Let’s just hope these developments aren’t purely superficial.

Happy Birthday, North! 25 Times North West Outdressed Your Faves

As if we already didn’t covet the enviable wardrobes of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, their adorable tot North West has been playing with our sartorial heart strings with her black everything ensembles, baby Doc Martens, and of course her signature tutus.

As the offspring of ‘Fashion’s First Couple,’ it comes as no surprise that little Nori has been slaying the scene since she could walk, wearing custom Givenchy and Balmain, and sitting front row at all the hottest fashion shows.



Aside from her wardrobe, Nori seems to have loads of personality. She has no problem letting the paps know how she feels, whether she’s cheesing from ear to ear, offering scowls just like her Daddy, or straight up telling eager photogs, ‘I said no pictures’ on her way to ballet class.


A lover of fur, black and neutrals (taking after her parents?), and of course her signature tutu-look, North West has been killing the game and giving all of us baby fever (and style inspiration).

Fur coat to keep the cold away and the fashion in.

Check out our gallery of 25 shots of North West’s effortlessly adorable wardrobe. Who knows, she might be able to teach some grown folks how it’s done  *sips tea*.

North West looked adorable in an oversize gray shirt, leather pants, and a chunky gold chain necklace.
