Happy Monday Bombers and Bombshells! Today for Fashion Bombshell of the Day we’ve got Krystle from New York City:
She says, “Hi! I’m Krystle, an advertising professional by day and decorator, style enthusiast, vintage lover and DIY blogger by night.”
“I post about decor and style as well as my numerous creative projects over on my blog www.krystledesantos.com.”
“I grew up in Guyana and moved to NYC over 10 years ago but I’m still not used to the cold weather.”
“My style is reflective of my culture as well as a host of fashion types including vintage glamour, caribbean-flair, sophisticated-sexy and preppy chic to name a few.”
“My main inspiration comes from my glamorous mom who believes in the power of a belt, bright lipstick and statement jewelry to transform any outfit from dull to delightful; plain to phenomenal. “
“I absolutely adore incorporating vintage pieces from her as well as from my grandmother into my outfits.”
“Bright colors, bold patterns, tassels, gold and anything with banana leaves, elephants or flamingos are also essential to my style.”
“I express myself through various creative forms and believe dressing to reflect your personal sense of style is a component of staying connected to one’s true self.”

While many of us woo’ed over some of the outstanding high-fashion looks that came down the red carpet for the Kids Choice Awards on Saturday, others, well, had a bone to pick with style stars such as Zendaya.
Now we all know this isn’t the first time Zendaya has been hit with public scrutiny over her appearance (*cough remember her locs?); however, this time seemed to escalate way out of hand at the tweeting disparage of Actress Julie Klausner, who took to her Twitter to say this about the child star and the apparent disgust she has for Zendaya’s body weight:As we’ve seen before, Zendaya is no stranger to the game nor apprehensive when standing up for herself against the bullying and commentary of others. The next morning, Zendaya took to her Twitter to respond to Klausner’s claims, saying:However, the story did not end there although Zendaya’s response was, in all fairness, appropriate and respectful. Unfortunately, Klausner felt the need to continue the twitter feud, then responding to the slew of Zendaya’s twitter fans who began accusing her of body shaming. Klausner’s response? She “will never stop criticizing celebs who perpetuate dangerous beauty standards.“Klausner continued her twitter rant, going on to remark on Zendaya’s career and her irrelevance to society, all the while continuing to poke fun of Zendaya’s body size in quite childish fashion:Now, ladies and gentlemen, here’s where things spiraled out of control. Aside from Klausner going on a huge rant concerning Zendaya’s inappropriate body weight, she closed out her tweets with this one lingering idea:
Where the antisemitic claims came into play, we’re not quite sure. Whether joking or not, throwing out a declaration of someone’s intolerance for another demographic is never funny, cute, and clearly shows how insensitive and low Klausner was willing to take the conversation. Plus, how could she have tweeted that all women are beautiful when she had just attacked Zendaya for her body size, which to me, looks fine and appropriate for a young lady as tall as she is.
What do you think of Klausner’s rant on Zendaya’s body weight? What about the antisemitic claims she just threw out there for good measure? What is the solution to building women and each other up (during women’s history month, no less!) when situations like this happen? What should Zendaya’s next response be (if anything at all?)
Grace Gealey got glam at the Alliance For Children’s Rights’ 24th Annual Dinner outfitted in a Cushnie Et Ochs One Shoulder Polka Dot Side Scoop Thigh High Slit Dress:
Although I was unable to find this exact look, this polka dot design one-shoulder stunner seems to be derived from the brand’s Resort 2016 collection.
I think she looks absolutely stunning. What do you think?
Her multicolored voile maxi dress boasts an allover floral-print, bias-cut, and fluted asymmetric hem.
Her classic leather sandals feature suede detailing, triple wrapped buckle ankle straps, the iconic Italian fashion house’s logo under the arches, and 4.3″ heels.
So cute!
If you’re up for the splurge, get Chrissy’s dress here and sandals here.
Rihanna’s ANTI World Tour has kicked off and you know the fashion is on high! Let’s get into the details shall we?
Photographer Dennis Leupold snapped a pic of Rih backstage in a Craig Green coat. The bad gyal and designer Adam Selman make magic together, thus he worked on a playsuit for her and chap boots that belted at the waist to complete the look. Hot!
The simple fit and flair wool dress is one of Dolce’s Daisy style and features gold star embellishments. You can grab the same design from Neiman Marcus for $2,495.
She kept the black and gold color way going with her heels.
The black and gold ankle high pumps are from Christian Louboutin. Made of calf leather, the lace front Troubida styles were definite beauties. You can grab a pair from Neiman’s for $1,295.
The look was a definite stunner in its simplicity. If you’ve got it to spend, you can grab the dress here and the heels here.
