It was all about prints for Rosario Dawson at the Daredevil Season 2 New York City Premiere in a $701 SUNO Floral Collage Backless Dress:
Her stretch silk crepe dress features an allover floral print, The midi length, wide neckline, deep scoop back, and three-quarter sleeves.
I wanted a bit more in the shoe department, but the dress is cute!

The Hollywood Reporter in collaboration with Jimmy Choo held its annual stylists’ dinner at Tower Bar in Los Angeles last night honoring breakout celebs and the stylists who’ve curated their noteworthy red carpet looks. Model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley attended the soirée and looked as elegant as ever in this $1,363 Galvan navy crepe bandage jumpsuit.
Simplistic, yet chic, it’s perfect for any formal evening affair. The wide bandage at the bust modernizes and offsets the form-fitting silhouette. And in a classic shade like navy, it’s almost difficult to go wrong.
With an effortless side-part, minimal jewels – opting for a thin gold choker – and a striking red lip, she let her jumpsuit standout.
How spendy are you feeling? If it’s a must have for your wardrobe this season, you can put that credit card to use here.
Are you loving Rosie’s look? What would you pair it with?

If you stay up to date with the latest models, DJs, or even just binge-watch Orange Is The New Black, then by now you’ll definitely have heard of the beauty that is Ruby Rose.
So why is Ruby Rose our Beauty Crush Wednesday (you may secretly be asking yourself)? Well, aside from the fact the woman is just GORGEOUS on the outside, she also stands for huge ideas on what a woman is or can be. 
That simple idea of pushing the boundaries, in my opinion, is something beautiful and something we definitely explore and support on FBD.
In multiple interviews where she’s discussed her beauty aesthetic (she was just recently named the newest face of Urban Decay), Rose has long been vocal about the rigidity of the gender binary and gender roles. The lasting impression with what she pushes for all people to do? “Only you know who you were born to be, and you need to be free to be that person,” she told Elle magazine.
At the end of the day, Rose’s self-love testament and urging of others to accept who they are empowers people to define their own identities, their own truths, and love themselves for who they are. It also embraces and pushes this idea of womanhood, which we celebrate every day but especially in the month of March. What can be more beautiful than that? 
Female and human empowerment is beautiful, and so is Ruby Rose! Be unapologetically you, always. She’s definitely our #BCW, is she yours?
Check out this awesome video she did breaking down and exploring socially-imposed gender roles! Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
Sometimes political and social messages are best said on tangible paraphernalia such as a coffee mug, notepad, or T-shirt. Other times, it’s best left out of product development, where it can lead to sensitive matters that evoke a huge issue of offensiveness and doubt. Forever 21 is the latest clothing retailer to come out with something I’d argue as the latter.
The company released a men’s T-shirt to be sold online and in stores, plastered on the front with, “Don’t Say Maybe If You Want to Say No”, clearly referencing the idea that has been circulating heavily around in the media on a women’s right to say no about sex, the sensitive (and many times, dismissed) topic of rape culture, and of course, the touchy subject of consent and if a woman (or man, to be fair) can renege on consent at any time.
Critics have surfaced online, stating that the T-shirt supports or advocates the idea of rape because one shouldn’t have said ‘maybe’ in the first place, or that the shirt pre-blames victims for whatever consequences they are left to face after their ‘maybe’ is used as consent for sexual activity.
While the argument can be understood that perhaps the shirt aims to suggest that if you don’t want sex in the first place, one can merely say no, I think it was insensitive and completely offensive to even make a suggestion that a ‘maybe’ justifies, in any way, shape or form, action that can not be forfeited once someone says no. I also feel it’s a true slap in the face for all victims of rape, who have had something of theirs taken from them unwillingly, and yet, it was okay because they initially agreed to some level or degree.
Forever 21 has since removed the shirt from their inventory, publicly stating that, “Forever 21 strives to exemplify the highest ethical standards and takes feedback and product concerns very seriously,” Forever 21 said in a prepared statement to The Huffington Post. “With regards to the T-shirt in question, upon receiving feedback from our customers, we took immediate action to have it removed from our website. We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by the product.”
How do YOU feel about a T-shirt that references, subtly or not so subtly, the idea of rape culture that so many women and have men have vocalized in the field of consent and rights? Is the shirt victim-shaming, or is it really not that serious? Sound off!

In her past life (and current, if she wants to), I’m convinced Michelle Obama was a rapper.
The dynamic First Lady has always been extremely vocal on the idea of education, fitness and female empowerment, spreading those ideas of love, acceptance and support vocally in her endeavors while in and out the White House.
Well, in pure Beyonce fashion, Mrs. Obama dropped a track in the middle of the night: a radio-friendly power anthem by and for women. But of course, she wants other women to chime in as well, so she grabbed other influential women to speak on it with her. Also on the track? Missy Elliot, Janelle Monae, Zendaya, Kelly Rowland, Kelly Clarkson, and Lea Michele. Whoa, that is one fire group.
The song, properly entitled, “This Is For My Girls” was ALSO penned by Grammy-winning legend Diane Warren and is all things female empowerment-related.
Some of the lyrics include, ” This is for my girls, all around the world/ stand up, pull your head up/ don’t take nothing from nobody…”
As a current speaker in SXSW, Mrs. Obama delivered a keynote speech at the Austin festival on her dedication to not only equality for women, but also sharing her message on girls’ empowerment and how the next generation will rise up to continue the legacy and discussion.
While we work on getting our hands on a full track, here’s a short snippet Missy Elliott shared:
Kendall and Kylie Jenner took in a Los Angeles Lakers Game, with the former in Sophia Webster Fall 2015 Lace Up Thigh High Cap Toe Boots and a $1,884 Saint Laurent Cassandre Shoulder Bag and the latter in a $550 Opening Ceremony Bonsai Embroidered Silk Varsity Dress:
Kendall’s boots were paired with an out-of-this-world orb-inspired dress and a “Freak Like Me” clutch at the Fall presentation.
Kendall’s black suede shoulder bag boasts a gold-tone metal chain shoulder strap, the iconic French fashion house’s gold-tone metal monogram, its signature tassel detailing, and a magnetic press-stud front flap fastening.
Kylie’s cherry and white dress features an embroidered front, band collar, and contrast sleeves.
Both looks were cute!
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
Sometimes you see stories, and you’re just like…are we still doing this? Did these writers not already know this was touchy territory? Are they looking for click bait?
ANYWHO, Twitter exploded yet again yesterday when Alev Aktar, a writer from the New York Post, claimed Sasha Obama’s braided State Dinner hairstyle was inspired by UFC Fighters.
Aktar writes, “The first daughter joins a raft of high-profile beauties sporting a version of the now-ubiquitous boxer braids. Fueled by celebrities and the popularity of UFC fighters, the center-parted reverse French-braid style has surged back into fashion. The woven look, dating back to ancient Africa, has been worn by celebs including the Kardashian clan.” Hmmm, interesting. A UK publication purported the same nonsense a few weeks ago and received the customary backlash.
Black Twitter didn’t hold back on Aktar either. Below, some of their commentary:
The resounding sentiment: braided hairstyles are not trendy or new. They are part of black culture. And Sasha Obama was definitely not inspired by UFC fighters or any Kardashian. She’s been wearing them since she was a kid (as have many black girls).
What do you think of the hubbub and the article?
