Zendaya has touched down in Paris! The fashionista posed for a little street style before heading to the Louis Vuitton show in Karen Walker Sunglasses and a full look from Christian Siriano’s Fall 2016 Collection:
She stayed true to the runway styling, but added a gray turtleneck for warmth.
Yasss, slay on, Zendaya! I love this.

Irina Shayk attended a red party for L’Oréal Paris a few days ago in the same Christian Dior Red Satin Dress previously worn by Selena Gomez and Lucy Hale.
All three ladies accessorized in different ways, with Selena in Christian Louboutin Unbout pumps, Irina in Jimmy Choo Colette Sandals, and Lucy in Brian Atwood studded stunners.
The dress is stunningly simple, and features a short hem, spaghetti straps, and a black underlay.
All look great, but I’d have to give it to Selena. Her shoes are bomb!

Jazmine Sullivan may not be society’s standard aesthetic of beauty, but she’s definitely a beauty we had to feature for our #BCW segment!
Many of us remember the songful soulstress when she first stepped on the scene with “Need You Bad” and every revenge-seeking girlfriend’s song, “Bust Your Windows“. After success from her first album, it had seemed for a time that Sullivan had fallen off from the music map or people had begun to question her relevance.
However, Jazmine Sullivan stands for so much more than just music. She models the beauty within all women, to be fearlessly and effortlessly dedicated to their craft and community. With the recent commercial success of her latest album, Reality Show, she’s also been a widely-outspoken artist on gender and race discrimination and unfair treatment in the music industry, celebrating the contributions of Black women in the music industry, the Flint Michigan Crisis, and most recently, added herself to the Ebony March 2016 cover where she alongside Gabi Fresh, Chrisette Michelle, and Danielle Brooks showed the world that black women are beautiful at ANY size. What is more beautiful than that?
She’s also been much more on the scene, showing us all confidence abounds from within and that WE have the power to also utilize our skills and voices to bring political and social awareness to issues that plague our communities.
Check out some of her music below:
She better saaaang!
So tell us, is Jazmine Sullivan’s your Beauty Crush Wednesday?
Songstress Rita Ora was all smiles as she made an appearance at a London WE Day celebration. The fashionista rocked a $4,085 Etro Multicolored Long-Sleeve Printed Dress with Lace Trim, a classic pair of nude pumps and a blonde braided crown.
Her bohemian-inspired ‘fit uplifts a relaxed silhouette, a v-neckline and ribbon cinches at the natural waist.
I don’t know about this one, guys… It’s a miss for me. But, she’s still gorg nonetheless!

One of my homegirls recently alerted me to a brand of fabulous Mink Lashes called Aristolashes.
They stock 3D, luxury, and Sable Mink varieties that can be reworn and reused to add extra umph to your makeup look.
They’re a very new company, so there’s not a whole lot of imagery. But when I popped ’em on yesterday…Pow!
The luxury mink falsies average about $25 in price, but you can get 10% off with the code Claire.

Kendall Jenner bared her midriff in Paris, clad in a $44 Bossa Edessa Black Crop Top:
She completed her look with $425 Misha Nonoo Striped Milo Pants, a $1,890 Saint Laurent Classic Small Monogram Suede Shoulder Bag, and Loeffler Randall loafers.
Her off-the-shoulder top features long sleeves, a matching neck band, and a cropped silhouette.
Black pumps would’ve completed this look perfectly!

Last year, I featured Weiz Dhurm Franklyn‘s designs in a You Should Know feature highlighting the sheer genius behind this jaw-dropping brand.
The brand is back again with their Spring Summer 2016 collection. And, trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
For this presentation, Weiz Dhurm Franklyn “dives into the world of the baroque era, encapsulating the predominant silhouettes of his muses in structural, lustrous embroideries and rich textiles“. With an untouchable confidence, Franklyn’s muses are freed of all sentimentality to be accepted but more fulfilled in further understanding who she really is and her ultimate self worth.
With a penchant for dramatic silhouettes and subtle (yet stunning) color play, Franklyn’s pieces are perfect for the upcoming season. These unforgettable looks skew pure sophistication as the models uplift flowing capes, dangerous thigh-high slits, plunging necklines and impeccably detailed robes. Perfect for any daring fashionista!

Front rows were buzzing with celebrities eager to see the latest collections on Day 6 of #PFW. Curious to know who showed up in what? Check out our On The Scene feature for the stylish picks our favorite celebs wore for the shows. For the best of Day 6, keep reading on!
Lack of Inclusion at Balenciaga
All eyes were on Demna Gvasalia as his Fall 2016 RTW collection for Balenciaga would be his first. Expectations were high and Gvasalia delivered with puffy outerwear, shoulder-dominant suiting, and patent chain sunglasses fit for an upcoming Rihanna music video. Unfortunately, Gvasalia did not include a single model of color in his 44-look show. Here’s to guessing Rih-Rih won’t be on board to wear Balenciaga a few months from now.
Back to Basics at Céline
Pants were trailing on the runway. Creative director of Céline Phoebe Philo sought to establish looks of comfort and did so through plenty of sandals, light layers, and a warm color palette of apricot, tangerine, and periwinkle. At times, the pieces read more summer than fall, but with a healthy dose of khaki overcoats, Céline gave you just enough options to kickstart your autumn in style.
Givenchy’s Maze
Egypt was Riccardo Tisci’s guide for Givenchy‘s Fall 2016 RTW collection and the set was transformed into an intricate maze, quite similar to those found in Egypt’s famous pyramids. One of my favorite models Amilna Estevão looked divine in an all-black mini-dress with fur sleeves. The collection was literal in some steps (with the Eye of Horus and other cultural iconography emblazoned on bib front dresses) and more subtle in other ways with military-style officer coats and python skin boots.
Read our full review of Givenchy’s Fall 2016 RTW collection here.
And The Rest…
John Galliano, led by creative director Bill Gaytten, centered on lingerie-as-daywear and threw a pair of boxing boots into the mix for a down-to-earth vibe. Red carpet darling Zuhair Murad could do no wrong with dramatic black-and-white designs with striking sheer panels. Roland Mouret went retro in a 38-piece collection celebrating the rock-and-roll greats.

Day 5 was a triumph of the avant-garde and the abstract. Collections ranged from the super-scupltural to the super-wearable. Take a look at the standout presentations from Day 5 of Paris Fashion Week!
Junya Watanabe’s Formula
Geometry was put to the test at Junya Watanabe, where pieces literally looked as if they had come from a 3-D computerized model. On the other hand, skirts and dresses constructed out of industrial neoprene took reference from Watanabe’s native Japan and its cherished origami art form.
Lace Overload at Elie Saab
A bolder Elie Saab aesthetic showed this season in Paris. A subtle tie-dyed gown accessorized with a leather jacket with fringe detailing on Kendall Jenner was right on trend for Fall. Layers of lace found their way onto long gowns, mini-dresses, and even leather jackets. Kendall closed the show in a floor-length leather strapless gown with sheer panels and what a finish it was!
New Wave at Nina Ricci
In his third collection for Nina Ricci, Guillaume Henry gave onlookers a 42-piece wardrobe of understated elegance. Offering trench coats with a slight metallic sheen and frothy silk blouses, the collection targeted an edgier woman with a taste for menswear.
And The Rest…
Juan Carlos Obando channeled dinner dances of South America past with silk asymmetrical tops and flowing pants with delicate pockets. Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons put forth a triple-threat of floral, upholstery, and armor. Unclear how those three themes fit together? Kawakubo weaved these components into truly wearable art, a turn on the term ‘ready-to-wear.’ Colombian designer Haider Ackermann offered incredibly luxe separates with an eclectic twist. Hair was wrapped in tightly wound velvet rope that was styled in contrast to the form-fitting metallic cropped pants and cuffed jackets.
