If there’s a trend we’ve been seeing a lot as of late, it’s been celebrities rocking items with lace up details. While many have ventured into the realms of lace-up booties and heels, bodysuits, pants and all forms of attire are fair game. From the runway to red carpet events to even just nights out on the town, celebrities have shown us that the more lace-up, the better. No matter the color, cut or fit, the lace-up trend is one that shows that more is definitely more and one can wear multiple variations of the trend while still pulling off a polished look that turns heads (note Kendall Jenner’s lace-up top and lace-up heels).
No matter how you rock it, the lace-up trend is definitely one that’s not going anywhere and that anyone can pull off. What do you think? Check out our curated gallery where we snagged 25 times celebrities rocked something with lace up details and tell us what you think!
*How do you wear it? Send your lace-up looks to submissions@fashionbombdaily.com for a chance to be featured in our Friday roundup!
Every makeup enthusiast, aficionado and addict needs a good makeup bag, whether out on the town or just to keep their stashes properly organized. Crazy Haute Make-up Bags are my absolute favorite, as they feature fun tongue-in-cheek phrases and bold colors:
Aside the fun decorations, the bags were also EXTREMELY durable (which is good for someone like me who just tosses and goes) and properly stitched.
They’re super spacious and come in a variety of sizes (so if you don’t need all the space in the world, they have travel size readily available).
Bags range sizing and pricing, however the website is easily navigable for you to find your perfect fit. Check them out at Soooperfect.com.
Melissa Harris-Perry, the scholar-turned-television host for an MSNBC political show, was recently named Elle.com’s Editor-at-Large. Editorial director Leah Chernikoff says Ms. Harris-Perry will “focus on the intersection of race, gender, politics, and yes, even fashion, telling the often-overlooked stories of women and girls of color right here on ELLE.com.”
Of course, Perry offered a statement on her upcoming role, stating, “Joining ELLE.com is an opportunity to combine my expertise as a scholar, my commitments as a public intellectual, and my interests as a woman…Politics, economics, and inequality will be important to the stories we tell, but so too will culture, community, family, and even fashion. I am thrilled to tell my loyal television audience where they can find me and to introduce myself to brand new audiences, all while telling the stories of extraordinary women and girls.“
I am so excited to see what Melissa Harris-Perry will bring to this role, what stories will be spoken that have long been left in the margins, and what opportunities will extend itself into new communities for other women of color.
What do you think of Melissa Harris-Perry’s new role?
We’re back with a special edition of How Do You Wear It! This past weekend we watched our favorite celebrities channel their inner 70’s flower child at Coachella and it got us thinking; how would YOU dress for a music festival? We did a call for your Coachella-inspired ensembles and we got some bomb responses. Let’s get into some of the submissions.
Angelina (@floridagyal87), said, “My Coachella outfit was inspired by my reversible clothing line A’Tour Designs. A’tour is a confident line that allows you to wear clothes more than one way. I wasn’t always confident in pictures, but making my own unique clothes that suits me makes me own every picture I take. I have a versatile look in itself, so including a bohemian chic look makes my Coachella outfit raise heads and eyes.” Cute!
Nike (@specsandblazers) looked great in her romper and gladiator sandals. I especially love the big hair!
Celeste (@poelilitgirl) of PoeSoPosh.Blogspot.com, rocked the knit bell bottoms trend well! The kimono and layered choker is a great finishing touch.
Sade (@SadeASpence), owner of the style blog SadeASpence.blogspot.com, channeled a modern-day flower child in her powder pink 2-piece set. I love that she kept the accessories simple by wearing just an arm cuff!
On the contrast, Sade showed us her edgier side in a pair of black hot-shorts, off-the-shoulder crop top and a black leather choker. I’d rock both festival look!
Tysha (@StyledtoaTea), showed off her city-chic style in a pair of ripped denim jeans and a Military jacket. She wrote, ” I am a fashion blogger & owner of StyledtoaTEA. Here is my submission for Coachella inspired style! Every year I make a vow to attend Coachella the following year, unfortunately I spent my Coachella weekend in Philadelphia! Like others, I lived my Coachella dreams through Instagram and snapchat, yet again! Lol! I have attached my photo to this email for your review, thank you for your time!” Love the look!
Sherod (@heirsherrod) stated, “My look had everything to do with freedom of expression; comfortable and gender neutral.” Werk, Sherod! I’d wear that entire look with a crop top.
Elizabeth (@elizabethrhonda), showed off her legs in a pair of black over-the-knee gladiator sandals and a black mini skirt. I’m going to need that body chain and those shoes please!
Kagiso (@Official_KandiBoi), is representing Johannesburg with his festival style. I love his shoes and matching bag!
Jorrod (@mrkitchennyc), says, “My inspiration behind this Coachella look is freedom because I’ve learned that my best looks come to me when I don’t really care about the outcome. True creativity requires to play around and today mine was letting go and playing with colors!” Tye-Dye is classic Coachella. Love it!
That was fun! Be sure to check the gallery for the remaining Coachella-inspired submissions. Stay tuned for the next edition of How Do You Wear It, dropping this week!

In my last Bomb Blogger feature, I asked the loyal supporters of Fashion Bomb Daily for suggestions regarding some the fashionistas they wanted to see showcased. And, thanks to my girl Hunny Bee, I was introduced to the dazzling diva simply known as Ms. Sole of Love Life Pearls.
In the ‘About Me’ section of her blog, Ms. Sole candidly writes, “Ask the left side of my brain about me and it will tell you I’m a fun loving lady who loves to live life with no boundaries, enjoys meeting new people and appreciates a well tailored blazer… Lovelifepearls serves as a medium to explore, create and express my fashion and lifestyle. It’s nice having you here and I urge you to love life and all it’s beauty!”
This style maven is the queen of mixing textures! Ms. Sole also manages to incorporate some of the hottest trends without looking too overdone. She relies on her leather pencil skirts, furry adornments and a good platform to complete her signature looks. Despite the fad of showing endless amounts of skin, this Bomb Blogger is proof that you can still be sexy and feminine on your own terms. And, I’m here every moment!

Prior to attending the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC, Lala Anthony lent a sultry stare on the ‘Gram in the same $1,563 Balmain Black One Shoulder Cutout Side Midi Dress that Nicki Minaj wore to the Hollywood premiere of The Barbershop: The Next Cut:
Lala donned ankle strap open toe sandals and chose minimal accessories while Nicki upped the ante with the addition of fab lace-up footwear, a gold-tone choker and copious bracelets.
This stretch-knit midi dress is slashed at the waist to reveal three slithers of skin and sharply padded at the single shoulder.
