We’re still getting pictures from the 2016 Met Gala after parties!
Next up, we have Freida Pinto! The Indian bombshell was spotted while heading to a quick celebration while donning a Fall 2016 Balmain Black, Gold and Ivory Sheer Panel Lace-Up and Stripe Detail Pencil Dress, gold heels and a matching Lee Savage clutch.
The original look was modeled with black leggings and velvet footwear.
We’re still obsessing over Skai Jackson’s 2016 Radio Disney Music Awards Giulette Brown look: styled by none other than FBD fave Law Roach. Well, let’s not forget about her stunning hair! Tym Wallace is the man behind her gorgeous tresses for the evening—the hairstylist for many of our favorite celebs including Nene Leakes and Kelly Rowland.
“I was inspired by the bohemian style of Solange Knowles mixed with the femme fatale vibes of the 1940s,” said Wallace of Skai’s gorgeous ‘do.
3.Comb the twists out using a wide tooth comb. This way you are elongating the hair without completely disrupting the curls and adding in more texture.
4.Next, part your hair on your most flattering side. For added volume, feel free to include a couple of extensions in a textured curl pattern.
5.For more curl definition, take small sections and curl using a 1/2 inch barrel iron.
6. After defining the waves, take a small paddle brush—such as a Mason Pearson ($205)— and brush out the waves to create a soft airy texture.
As I recover from my 2016 Met Gala-induced hangover, I’m slowly regaining my composure by featuring a blogger that is near and dear to my heart.
I started following Shea Pedro of Curves and Confidence a few years ago and, ever since then, this style maven has remained consistent in providing her audience with endless outfit inspiration as well as fitness/health tips. Shea gives her followers a glimpse into her healthy lifestyle while encouraging and motivating women to love the skin they’re in.
According to Shea’s ‘About Me’ section, the fierce fashionista didn’t have it in her plans to start a blog, rather life simply moved her in a direction that eventually had her do it. She writes, “I am a 30-something business professional that loves taking the term “office attire” to a new level. I am originally from Brooklyn, NY but was thrown into the country life at the age of 6 when my family moved to NC.”
“So what does a 30-something newly divorced introvert that has a penchant for shopping do? She starts a personal style blog. I am far from a fashion expert but I do know what I like and what works for me. I would describe my personal style as classic chic; I love timeless looks with a trendy mix. I hope you will join me on this style journey and watch how my style evolves as I stay true to my curves and radiate confidence.”
This young woman’s style is everything! Shea manages to keep her looks clean and simple while adding a bit of unexpected flair every now and then. Her wardrobe staples include printed midi skirts, sky-high heels, versatile crop tops and a whirlwind of perfect-tailored blazers. This Bomb Blogger also enjoys incorporating bright colors into her ‘fits! And, come on, how awesome is her sunnies game?!
Slay on, hun!

Hey everyone! Last night’s Met Gala was literally Fashion Olympics around here! While it’s great seeing celebrities rock style, we definitely love our Bombers and Bombshells. Today we’ve got Racquelle from Providence, Rhode Island:
She said, “My name is Racquelle-Bella and I’m from Providence, Rhode Island.”
“Obnoxiously Versatile are the words I would use to best describe my style. “
“I dress upon what I’m feeling on that day with comfort always being key. “
“I have so many different pieces in my wardrobe and love mixing and matching with not only colors but textures to create a fun look.”
“I strongly believe that fashion is a way of expressing yourself with no limitations. My style is alone, and nobody else’s.”
Okay Racquelle! I love your fearlessness when it comes to fashion and mixing textures and color. I love these fur pieces you have going on, as well as that camel coat (perfect outerwear is key, folks!). Love your looks, hun! Check out more of her style on IG: @racquellebella. So what do you guys think of Racquelle’s style?

Were you guys able to catch the Met Gala Red carpet last night? Well if you didn’t see the sizzling (and some, disappointing) looks from the night, have no fear! We’re bringing you our top 10 picks of the night. This year’s theme, Manus et Machina, focused on the relationship between fashion and technology. L
Let’s take a look at our Top 10!
Kendall Jenner had one of highest number of likes on our IG last night, sizzling in this cut-out blue and tan number from Calvin Klein. I love how she dresses so differently than the majority of her family.
Claire Danes stole the show when photos of her dress circulated on social media hours before she arrived. Her custom-made Zac Posen dress featured fiber optic lights that lit up in the dark. She looked like a Cinderella and definitely glowed like a princess!
Lady Z (can that become her new nickname?) came dressed to impress in a one shoulder high neck shimmery Michael Kors gown. I’m digging the hair choice here as well. Slay Zendaya!
Idris Elba is just one fine man, ya’ll. He gave us menswear simplicity yet elegance in a black Tom Ford suit with white button up. Perfect.
Jourdan Dunn also stole the show in this beautiful Balmain metallic cut-out gown.I definitely loved the metallic vibe that went down last night, but this dress was superb.
Kylie Jenner rocked a blunt haircut and also wore Balmain (no surprise) for the Met gala festivities. It seems she’s following in her big sister Kim’s footsteps, because this definitely screamed Kim to me. Nonetheless, I love Balmain, I love this dress, I have no problems.
Speaking of Kim, she and Kanye made their coveted appearance to the Met Gala both wearing Balmain as well (last night was just a win for Balmain, huh?). Kim rocked a strong contour (I’m wondering if that was intentional considering it’s about tech, or…) and this very futuristic dress while Ye kept it casual aside from a decked-out jacket and those contacts…yeah, what do you guys think?
Cindy Crawford showed absolutely no signs of aging as she glistened alongside Olivier Rousteing in this beautiful metallic Balmain gown. I love how he was able to dress everyone so differently, and I especially love the sheer paneling down the arms and torso. Bravo, Cindy!
Poppy Delevingne gave me ‘The Great Gatsby’ vibes in her embellished Marchesa Fall ’16 gown. I love that she kept the same accessories as the model and paired it with a dark look to offset the coolness in the dress and her blonde hair. Overall, a win for me.
Last, but certainly not least, was Ciara who rocked a high-collar, sleeveless silver metallic gown with nude (brown girl friendly) paneling from H&M. She decided to match her hair with the color of her dress, and though a little out there, I have to say I couldn’t take my eyes off of her! Absolutely stunning.
So there you have it folks! To see some of the other amazing looks of the night, check out our IG: @Fashionbombdaily or read our latest On The Scene to see who wore what. So, who had the best look of the night?
Blake Lively doesn’t rely on stylists to pull together her red carpet ensembles, but she definitely chooses the best in the business when it comes to getting her beauty look right. Makeup artist to the stars, Charlotte Tilbury, opted for a classic, pillar box red lipstick to complement Blake’s pretty pink Burberry gown. Here’s how to recreate it:
1. Charlotte made Blake’s skin flaw-free (she didn’t have much to do in this area) by using a treat and transform demi-matte foundation.
2. She applied a little bit of light reflecting concealer under the eyes to smooth and illuminate where the darkness would naturally gather.
3. Using a soft taupe eyebrow pencil, Charlotte filled in Blake’s brows and elongated them.
4. Charlotte applied a golden bronze eyeshadow to the lids, blending up towards the brow bone and softly defining underneath the eyes.
5. She then used a brown-gold flecked eyeliner along the lash line to define, enhance. and extend the eyes.
6. To finish the eye look and create gorgeous lashes, Charlotte applied several coats of mascara to the top and the bottom lashes.
7. Next, Charlotte used a contour kit to sculpt and contour Blake’s cheekbones using a natural shade.
8. Charlotte never starts a lip look without a lip liner, especially when doing a bold and beautiful pillar-box red lipstick! Use the liner as a stencil and fill in with a moisturizing matte red lipstick.
9. Charlotte finished the skin with a cashmere-soft, finely-milled powder across the t-zone. Not only does this seal in the makeup, it gives the skin a red carpet-ready finish that looks perfected in real life and in HD!
10. Dust a glowing dreamy highlight across the tops of the cheekbones that plays with the light.
11. Finish with a pop of a tawny rose blush from the center of the cheeks—where you would naturally blush for a healthy and happy glow!
