March Madness is coming to an end as the final four teams tip off for the NCAA 2016 Basketball Championship Saturday April 2. To get into the Final Four spirit, I’ve curated a few sporty chic looks repping each college team.

Syracuse fans, rock a pair of distressed denim shorts with a vintage college tee.

Chic things up with a tan varsity jacket, navy tote bag, and lace-up booties.

If you’re rooting for North Carolina, pair a white midi dress with a baby blue moto leather jacket.

Dress the look down with a pair of black high top sneakers, a light blue monogram shoulder bag, and silver hoop earrings.

Oklahoma Sooners, show off your school pride in a short sleeve college tee and white slim fit jeans.

Give your team spirit a polished finish with a double-breasted blazer, structured tote, and a pair of caged heels.

And lastly, forego the university tee and borrow from the boys in a navy camo print t-shirt and black coated jeans.

Rep your Villanova pride in a blue color-block satin bomber jacket, a navy leather satchel, and black high top mesh trainers.

Rihanna is in New York as part of her #ANTIWorldTour. To wit, the Bajan badgal was seen in SoHo, sporting a pair Spring 2016 Dior White Buckle Detail Pointed Toe Block Heel Ankle Wrap Slingback Pumps:

Her Spring 2016 stunners are full of character with the graphic styling of the pointed toe trimmed with a Dior-engraved buckle contrasts, and soft ribbon that wraps around the ankle.

I’m kinda feeling ’em, though still on the fence. She rocked the look though.

Fear The Walking Dead actress Kim Dickens took to the show’s LA Premiere in the same $1,993 Victoria Beckham Leather Trim Stretch Ponte Dress Kelly Rowland originally sported last month:

Kim paired the frock with black pointed-toe pumps while Kelly choose crisscross sandals.

The navy, deep blue, and black dress is crafted from smoothing stretch-ponte. It features colorblock detailing, adjustable leather straps, and a waist seam.

Kelly won this round for me!

Here at FashionBombDaily, we want to make sure everyone feels right at home when they read our content. While we’re always working to promote racial and gender diversification on our site, one thing that constantly gets over-looked in the grand scheme of societal diversity is AGE; thus, we wanted to spotlight and familiarize our readers with one lady in particular who has proven that age is merely a number: Iris Apfel.

A long time fan of hers, I couldn’t help but plunge into Iris’s credentials and biographical information when given the chance. Born in 1921 (making her 94 years young), Iris studied Art History at New York University, and went to have a career at Women’s Wear Daily before embarking on a career in interior decoration with designer Elinor Johnson. After marrying her husband Carl, they started their own textile company, where Iris was contracted for various projects in the fashion industry, including design restoration work at the White House for 9 various Presidents.

While Iris got her start in the design restoration/textile industry, many of us have come to know and love her for her fashionably fierce persona, constantly strutting threads that will either make you gush or clutch your pearls. She gained prominence as a fashion star when the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute presented an exhibition about the New Yorker’s vast collection of clothes and accessories (she’s traveled around the world extensively for many of her threads, and always talks about bargain shopping!). Here’s a great snippet of an interview she did for The New York Times:

 

Nowadays, you’ll catch her on panels, at exclusive fashion events and parties, or even headlining your favorite clothing campaign in a way only Iris can (like Kate Spade)An eccentric and lavish dresser who shows more is more, she’s highly active in vocalizing the necessity for equal rights, constantly lending her voice to the current state of fashion, the industry, and personal style.

So why is she our Beauty Crush Wednesday? Aside from being an advocate for self-love and self-expression through clothing, she shows us all that you can be effortlessly fierce in the skin that you’re in, and you don’t have to settle or simmer any of your fire for anyone! Her style may not be for everyone, but she kills it for me, every time.

That’s why Iris Apfel is our Beauty Crush! Is she yours?
