If Kanye West has an announcement to make these days he avoids the traditional path of press releases and interviews. The rapper turns straight to the masses in 140-character quips and unleashes his thoughts, welcome or not, on Twitter.

For the past week, Ye has been talking about fashion and his fashion week experience. In addition to addressing how his friends have been treated (he says the industry turned on Carine Roitfeld when she was fired from Vogue Paris; until now many believed the former editor-in-chief had resigned) he tweeted his own opinions of what constitutes modern style. A piece of your wardrobe that he isn’t a big fan of: your blazers.

Guessing we now know a piece that we will no longer see Mrs. West in anymore.

What he prefers?

Sounds pretty appropriate for the times; in the past two years, leggings and yoga pants have really become a stand in for actual trousers though most of the fashion elite protest the trend.

But, the Atlanta-born lyricist just wasn’t talking personal style, he also shed some light on his own fashion trajectory. Amongst other tidbits, he revealed that Olivier Rousteing the designer of Kardashian-favorite brand Balmain, designed for the Yeezy line.

And it wasn’t only Rousteing lending his fashion cred to Yeezy according to the creative. Apparently Demna Gvasalia also played a part. Gvasalia shot to the forefront of the industry due to his work with Vetements but also just debuted his first line for Balenciaga. That runway show drew criticism due to its lack of diversity.

Today, the designer kept the tweets up revealing that there’s much more Yeezy in store. According to Ye’s Twitter account, we can expect a whopping six collections a year in addition to three albums.

Is the world ready for all of this Kanye West?! Guess we will have to wait to see.

A state dinner was held last night to officially welcome Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, his wife, and members of Canadian parliament to the White House.  But of course, amidst all the light-hearted political banter and fine china, fashion didn’t seem to take a backseat at this auspicious affair.

Actress Blake Lively, accompanied by hubby, Deadpool star, and Canadian, Ryan Reynolds, wore a lovely Ralph & Russo spring 2016 couture silver wrap dress.

 This satin dress emphasized the formal aesthetic, given the shawl lapel.  But it still managed to ooze subtle sex appeal with cut-outs at the shoulder and a hint of leg.  A matching sash accentuated the waist, giving Blake an enviable shape.

Choosing to forgo a neckalce, as pictured on the model, Blake opted for statement earrings, an embellished box clutch and nude Christian Louboutin sandals.   Ryan Reynolds definitely kept up with his wife, looking incredibly dapper in a well-tailored navy Burberry tuxedo.

 Just like Blake and Ryan, we’re all smiles for both their looks.  Hot!  The sheen, color, and fit of Blake’s dress compliment her frame so well.  And the soft hair and makeup let her dress shine.

 What say you?  Are you feeling Blake Lively’s look?

Happy Friday!

It’s been an eventful (and productive) week here on Fashion Bomb Daily and now it’s time for some R&R! Over the past few days, Paris Fashion Week came to a showstopping close and we’ve covered endless red carpets. But, there were a few fashionistas who stood out more than most…

Check them out below!

1) Cassie in Stello

The Perfect Match hits theaters today! And, honestly, I’m excited to see it! Earlier this week, the film premiered in Hollywood and leading lady Cassie was on hand in a shimmery gold number by Stello. Her dress features a plunging neckline, geometric detailing and a low-cut back. Hot!

2) FLOTUS Michelle Obama in Jason Wu

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama attended the State Dinner last night (honoring Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) looking flawless! While the Commander-in-Chief rocked a sleek (and expertly-tailored) tux, the FLOTUS turned heads in a custom Jason Wu strapless floral gown inspired by prints from the designer’s Fall 2016 collection. She also uplifted soft curls metallic heels. I loved this!

3) Zendaya in Christian Siriano

Fashion favorite Zendaya Coleman slayed for the cameras as she rocked a Christian Siriano Fall 2016 chunky gray knit sweater and wide-leg pants. She also donned Karen Walker sunglasses and a playful, multicolored handbag. Sidenote: And, did you guys spot her stylist in the background slaying in Chanel?! Hey, Law Roach!

4) Ciara in Givenchy

Ciara and her boo Russell Wilson matched it up for Paris Fashion Week’s Givenchy Fall 2016 presentation! The cute couple wore all-black ensembles and looked absolutely amazing! But, CiCi was in a league all her own – the singer slipped into a sheer lace bodysuit, silk wide-leg pants and a matching tux-inspired duster coat. Werk!

5) Marjorie Harvey in Dolce & Gabbana

Street style pro Marjorie Harvey also made her rounds during Paris Fashion Week! The style enthusiast consistently served pure slayage with each one of her looks but this Spring 2016 Dolce & Gabbana frock was one of our faves. With a colorful floral detailing and tons of sheer goodness, Mrs. Harvey was an absolute vision. She accessorized with a pair of Christian Louboutin ankle strap pumps and a white polka dot blazer. She looks great, no?

6) Jennifer Lopez in Fausto Puglisi

Jennifer Lopez showed us how to work bubble gum pink as she tended to her weekly American Idol duties. The singer/actress dished up loads of glam in a Fausto Puglisi cutout dress which boasts a sleek silhouette and ample leg. Jenny topped off her look with shimmery pumps, a little blingage and flawless hair. This woman right here… lawwddd!

7) Selena Gomez in Ronald van der Kemp

And, last up, we have the lovely Selena Gomez! The starlet was spotted out and about while showcasing her enviable gams in a Roland van der Kemp Spring 2016 Couture black coat dress. The look feature a sultry thigh-high slit, a plunging neckline and a fitted waist. Chic sunglasses, black pumps and a a Louis Vuitton handbag completed her luxurious ‘fit. I’m here for it!

Signing Out — Esmesha

 

Puma has been focusing on the ladies for 2016, first by roping Rihanna in for a deal that’s seen her release her massively successful Creeper and a follow-up Trainer as well as design a full ready to wear collection. But now, the brand is readying to release it’s second huge female-oriented collaboration with none other than Kylie Jenner.

Today on Snapchat, the brand filmed backstage at what is presumed to be Kylie’s first shoot for them. The teen appears wearing a ton of body oil as well as sports bras, leggings and a pair of cute floral printed gym shorts. Nothing ground breaking but cute all the same.

For those who paid attention though, the brand hid their big news behind emojis and scribbles. In each shot, Kylie’s shoes were obscured from view but she was presumably wearing her collaboration with the sneaker company.  To provide a teaser, the last Snap proclaimed “Coming 4.1.2016” with sneaker emojis beneath.

Guess we’ll have to wait until then to see whether all of this hype is just for a campaign or if Jenner’s first sneaker collaboration is on its way.

While their mother, the First Lady, donned a Jason Wu frock, the First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama made their first State Dinner appearances in Naeem Khan gowns from the designer’s pre-fall and resort collections. The dinner was specifically aimed at honoring Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife.

Malia made an indelible impression wearing an embellished Naeem Khan pre-fall 2015 creation of all silk. The gown, which originally retailed for $17,990, is no longer available for purchase.

Sasha on the other hand went darker with a black beaded lace gown that was treated with appliqué from the designer’s resort line-up. That stunner was up on Moda Operandi for $19,990.

Admittedly the dresses were quite expensive for a 17 and 14-year-old. Some in the press have pointed out the price tags. We poked around a bit to see if tax payers are footing the bill and couldn’t find anything definitive though we would anticipate that it’s set up much like Michelle Obama’s arrangement.

The First Lady’s press secretary once released a statement that said that for state visits, clothes are sometimes given by designers and as both of the First Daughters are wearing Naeem Khan, we can take a pretty good guess and say that these were gifts that will be stored by the National Archives.

 

What did you think of the looks?

There’s no denying that Ciara and Russell Wilson are one of the best-looking and most stylish couples out there: as well as being among the most powerful! The duo have garnered quite a bit of attention on their journey of abstinence and we’re happy to report that they’ll now have even more eyes on them because they’re engaged!

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback popped the question with a gorgeous diamond stunner. Ciara posted this video on Instagram, documenting both her and Russell’s excitement.

God Is So Good! I’m So Grateful For You @DangRussWilson. You Are Truly Heaven Sent, and I’m Looking Forward To Spending Forever With You. ❤️

And she followed it up with this gorgeous picture.

I Feel Complete. ❤️

A photo posted by Ciara (@ciara) on Mar 11, 2016 at 1:02pm PST

Congrats to the happy couple! We cannot wait to see all of CiCi’s pre-wedding looks! We’re guessing lots of Givenchy and Valentino are to come…

What do you think about the exciting news?

TGIF!
Last night, Pynk Magazine graciously invited me to the Pynk Suite to celebrate Cassie Ventura’s role in The Perfect Match (in theaters today!).


Guests were treated to a delicious three course dinner, topped off by Ciroc beverages.
Cassie went for edgy in a button down, trousers, and Givenchy flip flops. Hairstylist @TigerBahmb whipped up a braided hairstyle that she dubbed A$AP Cassie.

As for me, I opted for a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier Eiffel Tower printed top, a Muehleder skirt, and Prada sandals.

What do you think?
At any rate, the movie is in theaters today! I attended a screening and it is a cute romantic comedy. It’s definitely worth checking out!

Will you be making a date to see The Perfect Match tonight?

If you’re up for the splurge, get Jessica’s hat here, coat here, and her suitcase here.

On Thursday, Caitlyn Jenner announced her collaboration with H&M for their new athletic line entitled H&M Sport.

It would seem befitting to have Caitlyn join forces for an activewear line with the brand considering Jenner’s athletic past, which does include being a professional athlete and an Olympic Gold medalist.

H&M took to Instagram to post this photo of Jenner:

 

“We have picked Caitlyn Jenner, one of the world’s most celebrated athletes, as part of this H&M Sports campaign because we want to illustrate that everything is possible — in sports, and in life,” an H&M spokesperson said in a statement.

What are your thoughts on the brand collaboration? Is this a step in the right direction for diversity of race, gender and sexuality in all fashion campaigns?
