Show of hands, who else is obsessing over Beyoncé’s off duty tour looks lately? ‘Cause we most definitely are!
This week, B posed for the ‘gram dressed in a full denim look by Area. She paired the $670 jeans and jacket on sale for $646 with a $4,000 Louis Vuitton Bag and Bottega Veneta shades.
The fans are sounding off on Instagram with @krys_meth commenting “Who is styling her now? I love them!” That would be her stylist Kelvin Moody who has been dressing her for the better part of 6 plus years. Another user, @dominiquedelaine, said “Okay this is my favorite look of hers so far this year 🔥”. And what’s not to love? Get the look below:
From Mielle Organics CEO Monique Rodriguez dripped in Balmain, to Lance Gross in Thom Browne and our very own CEO, Claire Sulmers showing off a fierce denim Miaou look, the hosts were dressed to impress like many of the style mavens and mavericks who attended.
Of course we had one of our Fashion Bomb Daily Media Hosts, Marissa Sneed on the scene to do a fit check, and she was able to delve into some of the most eye-catching and captivating looks of the day.
From colorful, vibrant and saturated hues, to two-piece ensembles from affordable online fashion retailers like Shein and Amazon Prime, attendees showed up in a variety of juicy colors, signifying a nod to the summer SZN.
Not to mention the fashion bomb accessories we spotted on event-goers including everything from Telfar and Prada bags, to designer Loewe and Ray-ban shades. When it came down to the shoe candy, many guests opted for the comfort route with Yeezy sneakers, or open-toe sandals.
If you are in New Orleans this weekend for the Essence Fest, make sure you stop by Mielle’s BeautyCon Booth at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, located at 400 Julia Street, New Orleans, LA.
In case you missed it, Who Decides War is one of the freshest brands in the contemporary design scene. With stylish celebrity rap fans like Joey Bada$$, J-Balvin, Dave East, French Montana, and more, Who Decides War has become a staple brand in the hip-hop community.
Style-friendly emcee Fabolous has proven he’s a fan of the brand, wearing several pieces, from outerwear to graphic trousers. Recently, he visited NYC’s The House of Cannabis in Who Decides War’s $1,200 Bridgetown Mrdr Moto denim.

These jeans fuse street and beachwith a cool white denim canvas decorated with green and yellow palm trees, bomb blue waves, and the Shock Waves logo vibrantly printed in red, yellow, and green. Fab styled his summery jeans with a Shock Waves t-shirt, also by the brand, Kleechi black titan sunglasses, and Nike’s Yellow Jewel Air Force 1 Lows.
These jeans may look familiar because A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie wore them earlier this year.

During Coachella weekend, the New York rapper wore the Bridgetown Mrdr Moto denim with Who Decide War’s beach jersey cropped tee, which showed off just a touch of his CK boxers. Like Fabolous, A Boogie wore yellow shoes and rocked New Balance’s M2002RGW style.
This year marks the 4th time I have covered Essence Fest!
Yes, I have been coming to NOLA since 2016 to cover the style, beauty, and fabulosity that is Essence Festival, and this year, I am a media correspondent for Mielle Organics!
I’ll be at the Convention Center at the Mielle Organics booth and at their pop up at 400 Julia Street every day through Sunday. So be sure to come by and say hey! I’ll be there today starting at 2:30pm.
So New Orleans is hot (101 degrees every day!) and typically there’s lots of walking going on, so the less clothed you are the better! For the occasion, I wore a top by Miao, along with a matching skirt. I thought boots would be somewhat comfortable, but my foot is aching today. But hey, these are the breaks when it comes to fashion sometimes!
I posed with Mielle Organics CEO Monique Rodriguez and Lance Gross at the Convention Center, and interviewed fabulous guests. Monique looked fly in a $3,100 Balmain dress, $1,690 Balmain bag, and Dior sandals. Lance was dapper in Thom Browne.
The worker jumpsuit that appeared in a recent Instagram post to her account is from Rivet Utility and retails at $395. She pulled it off effortlessly! Get similar styles below:
Weddings are such joyous occasions filled with love, laughter, and celebration. You want to look your finest as a guest, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. After all, a long day of festivities can leave you fatigued if your outfit isn’t suitable for the occasion.
From comfortable dress shoes to breathable fabrics, choosing your wedding fashion wisely can make all the difference to your comfort. Let’s take a closer look at a few wedding fashion tips for women that will help you stay comfortable throughout the whole day.
Opt for Breathable Fabrics
Choosing wedding attire is essential, and fabric affects comfort. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or lightweight silk that allow air to circulate and keep you cool, especially during warm-weather weddings. These materials also prevent you from feeling constricted and sweaty, allowing you to easily dance the night away.
Choose the Right Dress Length
Selecting the right dress length is crucial for wedding comfort. While long gowns and maxi dresses can look elegant, they might not be practical for a long day of standing, sitting, and dancing. Consider a knee-length or midi dress, as these styles strike the perfect balance between sophistication and ease of movement.
Embrace Flowy Silhouettes
Flowy silhouettes can be both fashionable and comfortable at weddings. A-line dresses and loose-fitting jumpsuits are excellent choices that provide ample room for you to move freely. In addition to improved ventilation, they also offer a stylish and flattering appearance for people of all body shapes.
The Magic of Wraps and Shawls
Preparing for cooler temperatures’s always a good idea, even if the weather forecast predicts a warm day. This is especially important in the evening or in air-conditioned places. Bring along a stylish wrap or shawl that complements your outfit. These versatile accessories add a touch of elegance to your attire and keep you cozy when the temperature drops.
Comfortable Dress Shoes
Comfortable dress shoes are a crucial aspect of your wedding outfit. After all, nobody wants to spend hours on the dance floor with aching feet. Here are some tips for finding the perfect pair:
Wedges or block heels: Wedges or block heels are your best friends if you prefer height. They offer better stability and distribute your weight more evenly, reducing foot strain compared to thin stilettos.
Cushioned insoles: Look for dress shoes with cushioned insoles or add gel inserts to your existing shoes. This extra layer of comfort can significantly affect how your feet feel after hours of wear.
Practice makes perfect: Before the big day, wear your dress shoes around the house to break them in. This will help prevent blisters and ensure your feet are accustomed to the shoes’ shape.
Sandals with support: If the wedding is more casual or takes place on a beach or garden, consider elegant sandals with proper arch support. You can find numerous stylish options that offer both fashion and comfort.
Accessorize with Care
Accessorizing is the cherry on top of your wedding outfit, but don’t overdo it. Heavy jewelry or large statement pieces might become burdensome after a while. Instead, opt for delicate, lightweight accessories that won’t weigh you down or become uncomfortable during the event.
Pack a Clutch or Small Bag
Instead of carrying a large, bulky bag, opt for a chic clutch or a small crossbody bag to keep your essentials close at hand. Carrying a smaller bag encourages you to bring only what you need, preventing you from lugging around unnecessary items and reducing any strain on your shoulders.
You can stay comfortable while looking stylish by choosing breathable fabrics, flowy silhouettes, and comfortable dress shoes. Remember, feeling comfortable in what you wear will allow you to enjoy the wedding festivities fully.
Beyoncé may be on the tour of the year, but she’s still making time for the moments that matter most. When she isn’t slaying the stage in custom looks or pulling up in gilded couture for the Louis Vuitton show, she’s spending time with her husband Jay, and their children.
Whenever Bey and Jay step out, it’s a pretty stylish affair. Whether they’re looking nice in Nice or pulling all the stops for date night, the power couple likes to turn a look.
In a recent Instagram carousel post, Beyoncé gave the girls a look at some BTS from the Paris leg of her tour. Stashed between pics of her in a bejeweled Area ensemble and scenic shots of the city, the Renaissance singer posted a sweet pic of her and her man, her man, her man in laidback cozy gear.
While Queen Bey is all smiles and bare feet in a black sweatsuit, Jay elevated his Paper Planes speckled sweats with a Glen check overcoat and Off-White x Nike MoMa Air Force 1s. A woven black beanie completed the look.
Slay all summer long by staying updated with our bomb accessories list.
