Yesterday, to commemorate Martin Luther King Day, Jada Pinkett Smith took to Facebook to urge black actors to boycott the Oscars. Her reason? According to her, the annual awards ceremony rarely recognizes black actors for their achievements. She wrote, “At the Oscars…people of color are always welcomed to give out awards…even entertain, but we are rarely recognized for our artistic accomplishments. Should people of color refrain from participating all together? People can only treat us in the way in which we allow. With much respect in the midst of deep disappointment, Jada.”
See her video below:
We must stand in our power.

While some have chalked up Jada’s declaration to sour grapes (Fresh Prince of Bel Air’s former Aunt Viv, Janet Huber, went on a tirade against the actress), Jada’s words undoubtedly resonates across several artistic industries. Every award show has been lambasted for lack of diversity or acknowledgement of the contributions of people of color. In Fashion, it’s become commonplace for people of African descent to be excluded, not on the list, kept out, and overlooked.
Jada’s video simply urges black people to recognize our power and influence over popular culture, and harness it to make a statement. Dr. King did so with the struggle for Civil Rights. Where is our solidarity today?
While I don’t plan to boycott Fashion Week, I have indeed taken a lot of my focus away from it. While I used to yearn to get that mark of acceptance from certain PR firms to go to the hottest shows, I stopped asking after awhile, and now only go to shows where they value my contributions. This season, instead of breaking my neck to go to Milan, I’m going to Essence Women in Hollywood as a Colgate Optic White Ambassador #ow. I’ve realized that it’s more important for me to go where I’m celebrated, not just tolerated.
At any rate, what do you think of Jada’s video? And how can we effect change in our industry?

If there’s one thing you may not personally want, it’s Beyonce showing up to your campus unannounced.
Take this from someone who suffered the Drake-pocalypse back at Howard University in 2012; chaos happened and innocent bystanders ran for their lives (myself included).
Something similar happened yesterday when Queen Bey herself was spied on the campus of USC, apparently practicing for her upcoming Super Bowl Halftime performance set to happen in just a few weeks. So when the students learned that Beyonce was, in fact, on campus…well, I’m sure you can fill in the blanks of what happened.
Let us all take note that when the Queen is in the building, the Bey-hive will turn up.

“Her dancers were dancing and rehearsing,” a source told E! News. “They blocked everything down and the windows so nobody could see.” An estimated 300+ people waited outside, hoping to see Bey, who humbly and quickly snuck out the backdoor entrance.
Superbowl 2016…we’re ready for you.

We’ve all probably made Kerry Washington our secret best friend at least once in our lives. The beautiful actress has, after all, given us many ‘Yaaaaaas‘ moments over the years, notably through her role as Olivia Pope in the ABC drama Scandal (both for how she handles those politicians in D.C. AND how she looks doing it).
Of course, Kerry Washington’s acting career boasts many other roles as well, including films such as Ray, The Last King of Scotland, Fantastic Four, Django Unchained and I Think I Love My Wife. She’s been on such a roll, that in 2014 she was named one of Time Magazine’s “Most Influential People in the World.”
Aside from the countless awards she’s scored for her leading roles in television and film, Ms. Washington definitely deserves an award for her enviable fashion looks, whether serving us high glam on the Red Carpet or fashion chic in the street.
Just as much of an acting chameleon, Kerry Washington definitely is a stylish one: Mary Katrantzou, Brian Atwood, Marchesa and Alexander McQueen are only but a few of the many brands she rocks on the daily.
While she gives us #BombSlay all the time, let’s check out 25 times Kerry Washington gave us that fashion cure we always need, the Kerry way.
Sila Sahin took to The Power Of Colors MAYBELLINE New York Make-Up Runway Show in Berlin in the same $225 House of CB Adiran Dress Vanessa Hudgens originally wore last month:
Both ladies paired it almost identically, though Sila’s bold red lip differed from Vanessa’s deep purple choice.
The silky stretch jersey dress features a deep plunge neckline, draped detailing, delicate lace sleeves, and a sexy front slit.
Sila wins this round for me.
What do you think? Who wore it better?
Rih Rih is in Paris! I’m going there on Thursday. Perhaps we’ll cross paths?
Anywhoo, she dines out at Caviar Kaspia last night in a Les Vetements Brown Leather Shearling Jacket, a gray sweater, black pants, and Chanel Suede Over the Knee Boots.
She is effortlessly gorgeous.
Her sold out jacket has an oversized fit and is trimmed in warm shearling.
She looks warm and comfy!

I’m off to start packing for Paris, weee!
We’ve all had those horrible mornings after a long night of turning up (those mornings where the only thing worse than how you feel is how you look)? Korean skincare brand Leaders may have created the perfect morning after skincare solution with their What Happened Last Night? Revitalizing Mask.

Thanks to ingredients like ginseng and Artemisia, this life saver will leave your skin radiant. It is dermatologist tested and can be used on sensitive skin.

Kemisha writes, “Can you please tell me who made the coat Kevin Hart is wearing?”
Yep! Kevin Hart attended the Ride Along Germany Premier in a Fall 2015 coat by Belgian designer Tim Coppens. The virgin wool-cashmere melton coat is detailed with smooth leather.
The black version was available at Barneys, but unfortunately, it’s sold out! Inquire about the coat at TimCoppens.com.
