“Kelly told ya’ll she was gonna bump like this” but “ya’ll didn’t think that she would bump like this.”
Stunning, seductive and noteworthy, Kelly Rowland looked drop-dead gorgeous in an Olive green Laquan Smith ensemble that practically took our breath away.
The ‘Coffee’ singer, 42, will be stepping out of hiatus to headline a free music festival in Baltimore known as “Artscape” in September, and she let us know through her latest photoshoot that absolutely nothing has changed.

Kelly looked impeccable as she posed in a series of photos in a $1,000 Laquan Smith mock turtleneck high-cut bodysuit that she paired with the matching $1,300 suede maxi skirt. She took a worthwhile risk by showing side ‘boobage’ in a tasteful and appealing way.
Opting for a gold chunky Chanel bracelet and gold open toe sandals, Rowland accessories felt luxurious and complimented her rich skin complexion.

Resembling her sister Beyoncé, Kelly served a soft beat with a nude lip and smokey eye. Her signature bob haircut had subtle highlights and framed her face exceptionally well.
Of course we would all love to see Destiny Child reunite however, alone Kelly is a force. Fans are waiting for the Grammy award winning artist to come out with new music, especially in this era, where her style and image has evolved.
One thing for certain is that she’s in her sexy grown woman stage, and based on how incredible she looked in this sultry LaQuan number, it’s evident that she hasn’t lost a beat.
Between Kourtney Kardashian and Rihanna, we don’t know who looks more stylish as they’ve both been having their baby bump on full display in the most fashionable way.
The oldest Kardashian sister, 44, is expecting a baby boy with her husband Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and we’ve never seen Kourtney look more happier.
Opting for cohesiveness , she paired her jacket with the matching $2,581 asymmetrical mini skirt that had silver hardware and a bold black zipper in the back. Her silver mule heels offered an eclectic touch to her bold vibrant look.

We’ve seen the Kardashian sisters wear designer LaQuan Smith time and time again, and it’s great to see them wearing and flaunting a black designer. Smith who is originally from Queens, New York begin designing at the age of 21, and came out with his eponymous label in 2013.
Since then, LaQuan has become highly sought out by celebrities like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and LaLa Anthony. Manufactured in Long Island, New York, LaQuan’s designs are sent to clients all over the world from Lagos to London.
We adored Kourtney’s cobalt blue biker inspired ensemble and we can’t wait to see what other fierce looks she pulls out her wardrobe to jazz up her baby bump.
“Just always remember that you are the prize. Always,” is Lori Harvey’s golden slogan and with that mindset, it’s no wonder why she’s been glowing and exuding such confidence.
The “SKN” founder, 26, is in her soft-girl era, from taking trips with her bae Damson Idris and enjoying summer outings with her model girlfriend Hailey Bieber, to simply enjoying fun in the sun.

While on vacation at a tropical destination, Lori took a glamorous selfie image in a $895 color-block Mara Hoffman Ramona dress that offered a popcorn textured and was characterized with multicolored hues. Her dress was form fitting, featured a scoop V-neck and was made from a fabric known as “tencel.”

Opting for gold jewelry including Cartier’s gold Love, with a gold ring and earrings, Lori looked refined and elegant. Her yellow and black color-block Loewe petal sandals accentuated her ensemble and perhaps elevated it one step further.
Kim Kardashian attended North West’s basketball game over the weekend and chose the comfy chic route in an army green Skims top paired with leggings, and Yeezy slides.
Perhaps Kanye West had some influence with the color schemes of Skims apparel as the color of her slides looked parallel with her muted tone monochromatic outfit.
Since Kim, Jens Grede, and Emma Grede debuted the line in September 2019, the brand has become worth 3.2 billion dollars and actually started in Kim’s bathtub. That’s right! Kim would innovatively dye her shape wear with teabags and coffee to creatively change the color.

Accessorizing with the ultimate ‘It-Girl” bag, a tan beige $2,400 Hermes Crocodile Kelly bag , Kim looked all smiles on her way to cheer on her daughter North at her basketball game.

We loved this color-coordinated sporty look that felt appropriate for the occasion. Whether you’re outdoors like Kim, or looking for that perfect airplane outfit, Skims seems like the perfect choice.

When I think of fall, I think of quality and texture. So I’m all about corduroy this season. It’s the perf fabric for a day to late evening ‘fit all while handling NYC’s crazy weather changes (i.e cold mornings that turn into hot afternoons and eventually brick evenings).
