You know Beyoncé can never let us take a break! She dropped “Formation” in the middle of the day on a Saturday and it looks like the tracklist for her new album—possibly with the same title—may have just leaked:
There are countless sites, Instagram feeds, Tumblrs, Pinterest boards, and Twitter accounts dedicated to her every move: par for the course when you’re one of the world’s biggest superstars. Reaction Beyoncé just tweeted out this potential tracklist:
Here’s the original tweet:

We’re not one for fodder, but like most of the world, we’re just trying to keep up with King Bey! We’re working on confirming this news, but there’s a large chance she’ll just release it when we least expect it. Regardless, stay tuned!

Dolce & Gabbana has been recently enjoying a rush of positive PR thanks to their magical runway at their Fall 2016 show in addition to their recent line of hijabs. However, they’ve made a critical misstep with their new “Slave” sandals.
The colorful pom pom sandals are a part of the Spring 20’16 collection and are now available online for pre-order. The sandals are on their website under the full name of the “Slave Sandal in Napa Leather with Pom Poms” and priced at $2,395.
Interestingly, the sandals are also available on other retailers websites like Saks Fifth Avenue with the names “Pom Pom Wrap Around Sandal” and the “Pom-Pom Leather Lace-Up Sandal.” It seems these retailers found it necessary to change the offensive name, unlike Dolce & Gabbana.
According to Footwear News, “While the term is, in fact, a description for a particular lace-up shoe silhouette, it is almost entirely obsolete with the now widely-preferred description “gladiator sandals.”
The brand has yet to make a statement and so may are left wondering about this controversial decision when a less offensive term has been used for so long. What do you think of the brand using the term “slave”?
*Obviously D&G started feeling the heat, as the sandal is now named, “Decorative Sandal in Napa Leather with PomPoms” on the site.
Thoughts on the revise?
The Rihanna train is showing no signs of slowing down! The superstar just released news of a footwear collaboration with none other than famed designer and one of Ms. Fenty’s favorites, Manolo Blahnik.
The collection is all about denim, hitting stores and online on May 5th: three days after the Met Gala which we think is quite fitting. It’s inspired by Rih’s statement-making hand tattoos and features lace-up detailing, pointed-toes, beaded embellishment, a thigh-high length, and more.
Only six styles are featured in the assortment, which will be available at the brand’s stores in New York, London, and Hong Kong. The prices range from $767 to just under $3,500—on par with traditional Blahnik pricing. Expect a queue or two for this.
“The day I see a woman in the street wearing my shoes…I am sorry for that woman because I’m going to literally run after her, shouting, ‘Stop! Selfie! Who are you? Where did you get them?’ I’m going to have a moment,” told Rihanna to WWD.
In speaking of the collaboration with WWD, Blahnik stated, “[Rihanna’s] drive, passion, creativity and style have been reflected in the designs, with fabulous results — I think everyone is going to love what they are about to see.”
By the way the world has reacted to her River Island and Fenty x PUMA collections, we’re certain this will be a hit. And she’s been spotted out in the brand too many times to count, thus the synergy here is perfect.
Thoughts on Rihanna x Manolo?

PFW is rolling on! A few of our favorite stylish stars were front row at Lanvin, in everything from timeless trench coats to statement-making stripes.
Let’s see what they wore!
Ciara is taking PFW by storm! She took in the collection in a classic trench, silky LWD, a python shoulder bag, and matching python boots. Russell Wilson was by her side in a matching ‘fit. They’re cute!
Kelly Rowland accented a timeless collared blouse and black midi skirt with $825 Jimmy Choo Viola Sandals. She’s always stunning. And were these named after one of our faves, Viola Davis? We hope so!
Model and social media star Irene Kim anchored her colorful hair and $1,885 Mixed Stripe Linen Blend Mini Dress with black leather thigh-high boots.
A tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit was on the menu for Bonnie Chen. I still need a piece like this in my wardrobe!
Taiwanese model and actress Annie Chen was one of the ladies in red, clad in the brand’s oversized heart necklace and a ruffle gown. Gorgeous no?
Emmy Rossum went for full-on glamour in a one-shoulder draped cherry and blush stunner. I love her style!
Yang Lan has been called the “Oprah of China”! She kept it simple and chic in all-black with a blush shoulder bag. I need to read up on this powerful woman!
Who had your favorite look at the show?
Underground star Jurnee Smollett Bell was caught looking quite extraordinary as she graced the red carpet for the world premiere of the new WGN series. The actress gave pure life in a Marchesa black off-the-shoulder dress and a bomb pair of Tom Ford calf-skin lace-up heels.
Her ladylike dress boasts a fitted waist and bell sleeves. As far as her shoes go, the Tom Ford beauties house a 4.25 inch heel, an open toe and front ties around the ankle. And, get into that gilded stiletto!
She completed her look with a delicate gold choker and dainty rings.
In addition, a few of our other style favorites also came out to support the launch of this highly-anticipated drama. Angela Bassett, John Legend and Mykelti Williamson were also in attendance.
She’s SO gorg! Look at that smile!

If there’s one person we’ve been seeing a lot of lately, I would definitely say it’d be Kelly Rowland. The beloved DC3 member and avid fashionista has been on our radar for YEARS, but lately, her style game has elevated even more; so much so, we had to take a look at her style evolution over the years!
Now with Kelly, she’s always been stylish. Even back in her Destiny’s Child days, we saw Kelly rocking designer threads and something to accentuate her curves and awesome bod!
However, with time comes evolution, and we’ve definitely seen Kelly’s. 
On the red carpet, her style aesthetic is one of super well-tailored gowns, jumpsuits and covered-up clothing that still evokes the sexiness and playfulness she’s always exuded. Out and about, her looks still are polished and well put together. She just doesn’t give off days!
Laquan Smith, Rhea Costa, Victoria Beckham, Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and many more hot designers are but a few of the fabulous name brands in her closet. Trendy yet always pushing the envelopes of what’s in, Kelly’s really blossomed into a fashion frontrunner and definitely one we all look for when we’re on the scene!
Let’s take a closer look at her style evolution over the years through our curated gallery. Let us know! What do you think of Kelly Rowland’s style evolution over the years?

We reported on Karrueche Tran’s new makeup line Kaepop when it launched–but have any of you tried it out?
The line contains gorgeous gold, nude, and berry tones that would pop on any fashionista.
I’m a fan of all the colors (check them out in the gallery above), but my heart flutters for the Matte Lip Glosses that are super affordable at $6 each!
The matte lips come in a cool nude tone beige, a deep warm yellow brown, and a bomb deep wine color called Rooch.
See Karrueche model them below:
Hot!
