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.
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.
Early Wednesday, March 30th, ELLE Magazine uploaded a post to their Instagram account (@elleusa), encouraging users to take “a fresh spin on color-blocking” with Solange. Standard fodder for the fashion magazine, this post was in the same vein as other “editor-approved styling” posts on their social media accounts.
Hours later, another post went up on ELLE’s IG account of Solange’s sister Beyoncé with a simple caption: “25.” The likes and comments flooded in with notable remarks like “WTF is happening? What is ELLE up to?” from @s.gregorcyk and “countdown for what? Omg what is happeniiiiiing!!!!!” from @misswaitforit.
Now it’s not that remarkable that ELLE would upload a single picture of Bey, but when the next 18 Instagram posts were of Beyoncé alone, it got my spidey senses thinking something must be up! As expected, Black Twitter was on it, throwing out theories that ELLE was putting Beyoncé on the cover of their next issue or even more provocative suggesting that Beyoncé was ‘counting down’ to the drop of her forthcoming album.
The most recent article ELLE wrote on Beyoncé was late last week, questioning whether the songstress would surprise release her Formation album last weekend, so it would appear likely that ELLE did not orchestrate this Instagram takeover themselves (but maybe they did?!). If the ELLE Instagram account indeed got hacked, we are all seriously underestimating the #BeyHive. Whatever the rationale, ELLE is certainly benefitting from all of the social media frenzy and we might just get another Beyoncé album on our hands by the end of the week.
The latest post dropped at 3:00am on Thursday, March 31st and was captioned “7.” At this rate, the last image (captioned “1”) should be released at 9:00am today. We’ll be watching for what’s to come. Stay tuned! What are your theories?
Amusa writes, “I am in love with Gloria Govan’s look from the Meet the Blacks premiere.”
” Do you know where it’s from or something similar?”
Gloria Govan posed it up with new boyfriend Derek Fisher in a crop top and skirt set by Lexi Clothing. Both her crop top and skirt are made out of french navy scuba tech fabric.
Cop her top for $149 here. Get her skirt for $200 here.
Hot! or Hmm…to this ensemble?
Stella McCartney’s Agnes dress is crafted of black and multicolored cady woven in a mixed-floral pattern and styled with a wrapped skirt.
Nudist Sandals are a wardrobe staple.
Get her look here:
Reviews were mixed on Instagram, with readers saying the dress was too long or unflattering. I’m not a super fan, but she does look Spring Ready!
What do you think?
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?
With a wide variety of soft pastels, punchy prints and dramatic silhouettes, this brand continues to prove that a killer style can still remain both affordable and unique.

This spring collection is all about enhancing femininity while maintaining an effortless cool. Of course, there are their bold and colorful two-pieces and (Fashion Bomb’s favorite) blush caped dress but the real MVPs are these jumpsuits! With price points ranging between $21 and $72, I’d strongly suggest checking out their versatile steals.
