Rosie Huntington-Whiteley attended designer Brandon Maxwell’s New York toasting to his upcoming Spring collection wearing a pair of black Louboutins and a Brandon Maxwell black leather top and skirt from his Spring ’16 line:She wore it with black heels as it was seen on the runway, with the top featuring a cross over neckline and textured leather. The seamless skirt fell a little below the knee.
I think Rosie looks phenomenal as always and slayed this look.

A little over a month ago, we announced that Lira had taken on the momentous position as the face of Bobbi Brown’s South African Cosmetics 2016 campaign. The powerful and beautiful duo have teamed up yet again, this time in an interview with Sunday Times South Africa. Everything from their collaboration to how Lira is inspired by Miriam Makeba came up in their discussion. Check out excerpts from it below:
Sunday Times: How did the two of you decide on this amazing collaboration? Bobbi: I was told about Lira by my South African team and was in awe – not only of her beauty but also her story and her powerful voice and where she started from and what she does and all the good things she’s done with her success. I thought she was a perfect role model and a perfect spokesperson for my brand. Lira: I’ve always been aware of the Bobbi Brown brand and I love and appreciate how you honour the natural beauty of women. You gently introduce women to the concept of makeup as a tool that enhances who you are and respects your natural beauty. I love that. I love makeup and I’ve introduced it to so many women around me as a tool that helps you feel good about yourself without taking anything away. So from a brand-value perspective there were so many things that were aligned for me, it was a no-brainer. I felt like I was attracting opportunities that allowed me to do what I do anyway. Bobbi: Whenever I create a product, it’s for women all over the world, of all colours. You have such beautiful skin colour and it’s always been important for me that women can come to the counter and find a foundation that matches her skin. Lira: It took me a while to get into foundation because there weren’t enough brands that considered women of colour. It was frustrating, but now it’s exciting. Everyone wants to feel young and fresh and beautiful with something that has been made exactly for you.
Lira, how does it feel to be named a local influencer for Bobbi Brown? Bobbi, how did you decide on Lira? Lira: It’s an honour to be associated with the brand in terms of the value it puts on women’s natural beauty. It also empowers them with skills to work with makeup. Makeup is your friend – you should play with it and enjoy it. It can be an empowering tool in your journey to self-expression and self-love. The things that make me feel good also make me feel beautiful – and makeup is a thing you use to bring out the feeling. It’s opened up all kind of avenues to do more incredible things. Bobbi: It was an amazing thing for me to suddenly have this new, powerful woman, halfway around the world, who I didn’t even know. It gives me chills to think about the power we have and I feel very fortunate to be able to start this relationship.
Who are your beauty icons, and why? Lira: I’d say Miriam Makeba. It was very important for me to see a South African woman wear her natural beauty with pride, all over the world. It meant it was okay for me to look the way I do. It was so powerful for me to see that my natural hair was beautiful, my skin tone was beautiful, my luscious lips were beautiful. She was a big influence. Also Lauryn Hill, because she was somebody closer to my generation and has dark skin and looked gorgeous. I remember she was the first person rocking dark lips, and that was just like, really, we can do that? And I do that now. Bobbi: I grew up in the ’70s when magazine models were blue-eyed, blonde, tall, skinny, flat-chested and I was a curvy, short, Jewish girl who had meat on her bones and a bit of a chest. So I never felt I was pretty enough. What changed my life was the movie Love Story, with Ali MacGraw as a brunette with full eyebrows and barely any makeup, just a flushed skin. And I thought, ‘wow, I can be pretty too’. She was my beauty role model. When I turned 50, eight years ago, I received a call from her and she said: ‘ I want to let you know I’ve been wearing your makeup for over 20 years.’ That was quite a moment.

It’s raining tremendously in DC, so the fashion has been downed to an oversize hoodie and rainboots. Looking for some inspiration, I turned to our Bombshell of the Day, Djinji from Atlanta:

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley took a stroll out in New York today rocking a very chic menswear-inspired suit with open-toed sandals and a pair of $350 Saint Laurent SL 93 Mineral Glass Sunglasses:The glasses feature silver detailing at the temples, are square framed, and are Italian made with glossy frames. If you’re looking to invest in some good eyewear for this Spring, you can buy the pair here.
As always, she nails the cool factor in my book ( I would love to have literally everything she’s wearing). Sigh, so maybe the sunglasses will get us one step closer.
What do you think? Would you splurge for the glasses?
