Mariah Carey looked like Honey while hosting at night at Paris’s VIP Room! The songstress showed off her bawdy in a $2,922 Plunging Mini Dress and the brand’s $1,930 Ava Boots:
Her black crepe dress is sliced with a deep V-neck that mimics the lapels of a blazer and is cinched with a waist belt, accented with gold-tone metal D-rings.
Black goat skin ‘Ava’ boots from Balmain feature an open toe, a lace-up front fastening, a side zip fastening, gold-tone hardware, a high stiletto heel and a leather sole.
With heavy hearts, we report that legendary artist and musician, Prince, has died at age 57.
The singer, song writer, producer, and multi hyphenate powerhouse was one of the most influential creatives of our time.
Hit songs like Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Let’s Go Crazy, and Raspberry Beret set the tune and tone of the 80’s and beyond.
In addition to his sonic impact, he was also known for his contributions to style, toe-ing the line between masculine and feminine, boldly wearing ruffles, sequins, and elaborate jackets, topped off by a curly coif.
What’s up everyone? Today, we’re heading back to New York, where we’ve got Bombshell, RKHTY from Brooklyn:
“My name is RKHTY (Rah-keh-ti).”
“I am a singer/songwriter from Brooklyn.”
” I’d describe my style as effortless, comfortable yet dynamic.”
“Every now and again I swap my Timbs out for some heels to break up the streetwear flow.”
“Each outfit I wear during a performance is a layer of emotion I set for my audience.”
“Luckily, my mother kept a lot of her clothing from the 70’s and 80’s so I pair some of the bold vintage pieces with modern wear!”
Cool style RKHTY! Your style definitely exudes a cool factor while still playing up on artsy and chic! If you guys wanna check out more of her style, head to her IG: @RKHTY. So tell us, what do you think of her style?

After much fun in the sun at Coachella, Chanel Iman got back to business, spotted jetting out of Los Angeles in a $179 Are You Am I ‘Lilia’ Black top and black ripped denim jeans:
I personally am digging the vibe she’s giving off, still exuding so much chic even at the airport (plus she shows us that sunglasses automatically elevate your look).
It seems Khloe Kardashian and Lupita Nyongo’ were thinking alike when it comes to Gucci. Stylist Monica Rose captured Khloe rocking a Gucci floral dress from the Spring/Summer 2016, recreating a very similar look done by Lupita Nyongo not too long ago:
Lupita actually is wearing the floral shirt and skirt in this combo, accenting her look with a pop of pink for heels and a cool pair of sunnies.
Khloe Kardashian opted for more accessories on the hand and popping on a pair of black Stuart Weitzman open-toed heels.
Personally, I’m feeling both ladies’ looks! Although not the exact same item, both ladies were going for that full floral look! What do you think? Who wore it better?
With the resurgence of choker necklaces and an endless variety of crop tops, the era that was once filled with the sounds of Mary J. Blige, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott have managed to break through into today’s world of fashion. Some of our favorite fashionistas have taken note of the in-your-face labels trend, rocking oversized displays of the designer’s logos in hard-to-miss fonts. The celebrities of yester-year slayed this signature look…
… and our present-day bombshells are trying to do the same.
Keep scrolling to see some of our featured style mavens uplifting this sporty-chic trend!
Amanda Steinberg tried her hand with the 90’s labels trend by flaunting some skin in Bantu knots, a matching Calvin Klein set and loose-fitted white pants.
Kylie Jenner was chic in an eye-catching Louis Vuitton swimsuit. And, the matching headscarf was just the icing on the cake!
Karrueche Tran stepped out alongside Empire starlet Serayah while rocking a patchwrok denim ensemble by Diesel and a bomb pair of Gucci Monogram Supreme Sandals!
Model Gigi Hadid made a statement in a Tommy Hilfiger cropped sweatshirt.
Bad gal Rihanna channeled casual vibes in a white hooded DKNY jumpsuit for Opening Ceremony. I love this!
After Beyonce dropped the surprise video for her hit single Formation, she had women everywhere searching endlessly for throwback Gucci matching sets.
I’m here for the resurrection of the 90’s. But, I do think it has to be rocked the right way; otherwise, it can come off as a bit dated.
Happy Wednesday, Bombers and Bombshells!
Yesterday, I was invited to the opening of Turnstyle, an underground mall and food court located at the corner of 57th and 8th.
The bright, vibrant marketplace features yummy restaurants, nail shops, designer sunglasses boutiques, and more! I came to sample a few of their offerings.
The Columbus Circle station is New York City’s 7th busiest train station! And while the area already sparkles with its designer shops, Turnstyle offers that designer feel for millions of NYC straphangers.
My favorites? Le Specs sunglasses store, the Fab Boutique, and the Doughnuttery. Yum!
If you ever visit NYC, stop by! Head towards 57th and 8th and skip downstairs.
*I wore a Meow and Barks Boutique top, Zara skirt, and Miu Miu Gingham slingbacks.
Stay tuned for more pix on the new and improved TheBombLife.com (when I get a free moment, I’m gonna update)!
**I’ll be out and about tonight as well! I’m co-hosting an event at the Cohen’s Fashion Optical at Delancey at 117 Orchard Street from 6-8. Come one, come all!
***I’m also co-hosting a party at the Lively at 29 Ninth Avenue with Legendary Damon, Olivia Dope, Emil Wilbekin, Isoul Harris, and more! It goes down tonight at 11:30PM.
The strongest part of any Beauty Crush isn’t necessarily what they look like, but how they’re shaping the world by what they do, say, or promote.
Today’s Beauty Crush is a young lady I’ve loved for years, and like wine, I think gets better with time: Freddie Harrel. Now, some of you may remember when we spotlighted Freddie as a Bomb Blogger back in the day (when she was known by her pseudonym ‘I Go By Frankie’).
In case you haven’t heard of Freddie Harrel before, allow me to give you a little background on the fashionista-turned-empowerment speaker. Born in Paris, France, Freddie started her blog in the summer of 2013, using her digital abilities to delve into the world of personal styling (a lot of us remember her from her early ASOS days as the digital marketing and sales manager). She then transitioned into the world of blogging, and now considers herself a current-day confidence consultant.Aside from having a chic style that’s caught the eye of many notable outlets such as StyleCaster or ManRepeller, the current Londoner has cultivated a devoted following who stalk her every move. From street style pics to her next moves in the fashion industry, Freddie chronicles her daily musings to encourage others to walk fearlessly in their own unique self. Her recent project, SheUnleashed.com, focuses on mixing confidence coaching with style and empowering women to feel fabulous about themselves, using clothes as a medium.I chose to feature Freddie Harrel as our Beauty Crush Wednesday because we just don’t see enough brown girls in the mainstream avenues of the fashion industry. It’s encouraging and refreshing to see a brown woman with a kooky personality and larger-than-life hair creating spaces for herself and others to thrive. If anything, Freddie teaches us that being unapologetically ourselves always yields reward and starts from within.Not too long ago, she sat down and did a video where she revealed some of the racial tensions she faced while growing up a Black woman in Paris. She shared what those experiences taught her about herself, and how she overcame those adversities to now be in a role that teaches women how to find confidence and strength in the things that make them, well, them! Check out the video below:
A natural beauty both inside and out, I think Freddie Harrel teaches us that we are all beautiful and have every right to walk in our confidence, no matter what others say (all while looking fabulous doing it).
So that’s why Freddie Harrel’s our Beauty Crush Wednesday, is she yours?
Now, some of you may remember when we spotlighted
