Beauty News: Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Line Will Debut Next Year Backed By LVMH

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up.

While the artist tours with her Anti album, LVMH has announced that their Kendo division has inked a deal with the Bajan princess to help develop her beauty brand. And while it won’t be coming our way this year, the pair have the project on a Fall 2017 release schedule.

rihanna launches beauty hair styling agency

We first got wind of a possible Rihanna makeup brand back in 2014 when the singer and growing mogul trademarked a ton of categories for the name Fenty. Amongst those were lingerie, nails, clothing, apparel and makeup. Back then she was still collaborating with other brands like MAC. The lipstick she made with them sold out in three hours and ended with Rih Rih being a face of the brand. She’s also worked with Viva Glam

In what is reported to be as high as a $10 million deal, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna is set to be the third color cosmetic deal for Kendo. Her predecessors? Kat Von D Beauty and Marc Jacobs Beauty according to WWD. “Fenty Beauty by Rihanna is a beauty rocket ship that will appeal to a huge and diverse global audience,” David Suliteanu, CEO of Kendo said. “We are aiming for the stars.”

Throwback Thursdays #TBT: The Style Evolution of Kerry Washington

Lately, Kerry Washington’s eclectic, sizzling and vivacious style have captured so many Bombers and Bombshells on the site, it felt absolutely necessary to take a trip down the yellow brick road and show her true style evolution over the years.67th+Annual+Primetime+Emmy+Awards+Arrivals-kerry-washington-marc-jacobskerry-washington-at-good-morning-america-in-new-york-tanya-taylor-top-skirt-christian-louboutin-sandals-1When Kerry first stepped on the scene, she was still wearing form-hugging silhouettes and color-coordinated frocks, but master tailoring, cut, form and fit left a little to be desired on the beauty.

Although many don’t fully remember Kerry Washington’s original days of ‘Save The Last Dance’ and ‘I Think I Love My Wife’, she has blossomed into a full-out Powerhouse and Businesswoman, garnering media attention for her movie promotions, nail line with OPI, becoming a brand ambassador for Neutrogena, or even keeping all eyes glued to her (and her wardrobe) as the daringly refined, designer-sporting worst nightmare to any politician in DC, Olivia Pope.

Nowadays, Kerry is seen in only the best of the best: Mary Katrantzou, Givenchy, Carrolina Herrera, Dolce & Gabbana, and many more top designer names, pushing her into the realms of a real-life Black Barbie with a varied and enviable closet.Kerry-Washington-New-York-Times-Talk-Carolina-Herrera-Fall-2016-floral-dress-3Kerry-Washington-Elle-Honors-Erdem-Pre-Fall-2016-floral-dress-2_5-Kerry-Washington-Confirmation-Premiere-Dolce-&-Gabbana-Poppy-Floral-Printed-Dress

Just as we’ve seen the progression of the conceptualization of Olivia Pope over the past seasons (she’s finally got a little color in her wardrobe!), we’ve seen Kerry Washington delve into and redefine her aesthetic in a remarkable way as she continues to shape her style and inspire fashionistas everywhere!

Quite the opposite from many of the powerful women she plays on TV, Washington’s multifarious style is quite bold in color, refined in cut, and impressive all-around. We know what whenever she steps on the scene, Kerry’s bound to impress!
