Reunited and it feels so good! You know what happens when two queens unite, it shifts the atmosphere and creates a catalyst for change.
Hip Hop’s royalty, Beyoncé and Alica Keys grabbed dinner together in New York City following Jay-Z’ ‘Book of Hov’ exhibition at the Brooklyn Central Library Thursday night, and we couldn’t be more delighted to see their shared sisterhood.

Both artists who first joined forces back in 2009 on Alicia’s “Put It in a Love Song’ featuring Beyoncé, took fans down memory lane with many requesting the duo to come out with a new collaboration. Only time will tell if that’s something of interest for the both of them.
For the gathering, Alicia Keys served us Grace Jones vibes in an all black hooded dress with her hair pulled back to show off her natural beat. Contrary to Alicia, Bey served as the Yin to Alicia’s Yang in a lighter neutral tone cream $1160 Khaite maddy notched ribbed knit sweater.
Beyoncé and Alicia Key’s looked picture perfect per usual and after 14-years since they first hopped on a track together, their bond hasn’t changed, leaving us to assume that their friendship is golden.
Quavo and James Harden who? It looks like Saweetie and YG have officially solidified their relationship with each other as the pair has been seen on a variety of different dates in Los Angeles.
Initially we thought their unison was potentially a publicity stunt or a business deal as their relationship came out of the blue, however 3-months in and they still seem to be smitten with one another.
The couple seemed to be affectionate while walking hand-in-hand leaving Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood earlier in the week and we absolutely adored their get-ups.

The Compton rapper, 33, lead the way in a lime green zip up knit sweater that had a black and white disc centered and on the sides of his sweater. He opted for distressed baggy jeans with a black studded belt, and was iced out for his ‘Icy Girl.’

Saweetie, who kept things more simple than usual, wore a white corset top that she styled with black denim flare jeans.
Her bomb accessories elevated her outfit and her red, white and blue Retro Focus shades looked as if she was still in the Fourth of July mode. Not to mention her star shaped Ashley Williams London mini bag that added to her American flag themed ensemble.
She kept things urban with her long pigtails, that were accentuated with diamond hoop earrings. Of course her neck and wrist were frozen with diamond jewels that reminded us that she’s all about the bling-bling!

If you’re a fan of both rappers, and can’t get enough of these two love birds, you’ll be happy to know that starting in Fall 2023, YG and Saweetie will be going on tour with rapper Tyga called the “Str8 to the Klub” Tour, so stay tune because Bonnie & Clyde are getting ready to take over the We$t coast.

You ask, we answer! @Laurina3112 says, “Can I get the deets on Ms. Woods outfit! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yesterday, Jordyn Woods and her 7ft Minnesota Timberwolves baller bae were captured twining in white and denim looks while leaving Nobu restaurant off the Pacific coast in Malibu.
Wood’s who been dating Karl since May 2020, captioned a photo of the two on her Instagram stories, “Ride or Die.”

He’s definitely been riding for Jordyn who wore a $1,090 white sleeveless Alaia high neck crop top with voluminous Chanel denim flare jeans, and pointy-toe cutout stilettos.
Her long single braid down to her bum, made us envision her whipping her hair back and forth. (In Willow Smith’s voice).

Woods who made major headlines over the weekend for reuniting with her childhood bestie, Kylie Jenner at a sushi restaurant in L.A., served a cutting edge look with one of our Bombshells @dunbeyy asking for the deets on her gold choker necklace.

You’ll be surprised to know that Wood’s statement Amore choker actually came from Zara, and that her fiery red and blue two-tone long sleeve sheer dress is apart of her ‘Woods by Jordyn’ collection.

What better way to market your own brand than to wear it when you know that you’re bound to be on Paparazzi’s radar. Her cobalt blue Hermes tote bag was to die for and picked up perfectly off the hints of blue in her dress.
Ms. Woods has certainly grown up since the cheating scandal in 2019 involving her and Khloe Kardashian’s children’s father, Tristan Thompson. If you recall, Jordyn locked lips with the LA Lakers basketball star at a party, and all hell broke loose.

The kiss which Jordyn assured was platonic and had no emotions involved, ultimately destroyed and severed ties with the Kardashian sisters.
To see Jordyn and Kylie reunite after 4-years since the scandal came as a surprise to many, and only time will tell if they can regain the trust and loyalty that was once tarnished, and diminished.

They say, “A family that pray’s together, slay’s together,” and based on how exceptional Magic Johnson’s family looked while vacationing on their super yacht in Capri, Italy over the weekend, it’s evident to see that they’re all on one accord.
Following in their mother’s footsteps, EJ Johnson landed on the scene looking tall and like a stallion in all white. Ej’s $990 Christian Dior bralette was an instant hit and compliment their white knitted Maison Alaia flare pants.
We loved the layered Chanel pearls for the ‘gworls,’ and Ej’s braids were the perfect length to do a hair flip. Hello?!

Channeling her mother’s beauty and charm, Elisa Johnson wore a black silk strapless midi dress that looked incredible on her 5’4 frame with black kitten heels, similar to those worn by Cookie.
Magic Johnson’s oldest son, Andre Johnson wife Lisa wore a black and white $195 Diarrablu tribal print maxi dress that felt on trend for such a magical destination. Her black YSL clutch added a designer touch to her ensemble, and let’s just say her curls were popping for the family occasion.

The family photo that was captured of the Johnsons showcased how family-oriented they really are, and we admire how everyone has their own style and isn’t afraid to unapologetically wear clothes that makes them feel alive. Toast to individuality!
Keke Palmer’s snatch back game is real, and for someone who just gave birth in February to son Leodis with her beau Darius Jackson, she’s definitely giving main character energy.
The ‘Hustlers’ actress, 29, has been making headlines ever since her bae called her out for the outfit she wore to Usher’s concert in Vegas where the ‘Lovers & Friends’ singer serenaded Palmer who stunned in a black sheer bodysuit dress.
Darius tweeted, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” which opened a can of worms with fans and media outlets alike bashing him for shaming Keke’s outfit. But C’mon, let’s be real- when you look as good as Keke’s been looking, it’s bound to ignite a little insecurity with your man.

Nonetheless, Keke hasn’t allowed Darius negative comments to influence her to dress more modestly nor has it deterred her from coming through with the looks.
Taking part in the denim-on-denim trend for summer, Palmer wore a light blue $309 Moschino bandeau-style minidress, that resembled the top part of two denim trousers sewn together.
We adored Keke’s look that was styled by @sethchernoff, as her denim ensemble felt current, fresh and youthful. Her bangs with curls gave off an 80’s aesthetic, and her make-up was beat by the gods.
They don’t do it for the culture, they are the culture. Hip-Hop’s most famous couple took over the Big Apple this weekend in honor of Jay-Z’s Book of Hov exhibition, and in celebration of the Shawn Carter Foundation Gala.
From celebrities in attendance like Dj Khaled, and Lil Uzi Vert to Regina Hall, and Tinashe, the Shawn Carter Gala held at Pier 60 in New York City, Friday evening was a star-studded one. Beyoncé and Blue Ivy made quite the sartorial entrance to cheer on the man of the hour, Shawn Carter of course.

Shutting it down in a one-of-a-kind custom Valdrin Shahiti gown, that was distinguished with silver metallic ruffles shaped like ocean shells, and a deep plunge neckline, Beyoncé looked drop-dead gorgeous.
Keeping things on trend for the black-tie event, she accessorized with patent leather Christian Louboutin heels and black opera gloves that were layered with diamond jewels and exuded royalty and prestige.
Her high blonde bun with dainty loose side curls served as a replacement for the Queen’s crown, and her futuristic cat-eye embellished shades felt modernly chic.

Falling in her mother’s footsteps, literally and figuratively, Blue Ivy, 11, is growing up before our very own eyes. Posing in an emerald green asymmetrical A.L.C pleated dress with a midsection cutout, Blue looked polished and elegant.
The Grammy award-winning pre-teenager accessorized with sapphire green earrings, a metallic clutch and black and white Converse platform heels.

Blue Ivy is a spitting image of her father Jay-Z, who’s the epitome of a true New Yorker, with his swag, style and flavor. It’s evident to see that Jay-Z has come such an along way from The Marcy Projects to being a Billionaire.
In collaboration with his mother Gloria Carter, Jay-Z created the Shawn Carter Foundation back in 2003 to create opportunities for higher education in marginalized communities.
For his star-studded Gala, HOV looked dapper and refined in a luxe black tux, complimented with a black bowtie and traditional black Oxford shoes.

Standing by her man’s side during the event, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were all smiles as they raised over 20-million dollars from donors like Jeff Bezos, and Jack Dorsey for the Shawn Carter foundation.

When the Carters aren’t performing, they’re taking part in philanthropic endeavors, and we love to see them use their platform wisely, intentionally and constructively in some of the most stylish looks.
Arguably the best-dressed player in the league, Jarred Vanderbilt is a star center on the court but a style star off the court. When he isn’t rocking his team colors (gold and purple, go Lakers!), he’s dripped out in designer and bold colored ‘fits.
Photo: Abigail Keenan Field
From tunnel walks to fashion week, Vanderbilt loves to get a good ‘fit off. He explores bold colors, vivid patterns and occasionally rocks a statement hat. He’s an avid fan of luxury labels like Louis Vuitton, Marni, and Rick Owens and mixes the brands well with fun styling in mind.
