50 Shades of Black hits movie theaters tomorrow. It looks like it’ll be a hoot!
Fashion Bomb Celebs attended the film’s LA Premiere in all black looks. Take a look at who was in attendance:

Vivica A. Fox skewed sultry in a lacy La Perla dress. Y’all went to town on her on Instagram, but I think she looks hot!

Draya Michele showed off her burgeoning baby bump in a Kyna Collection that was our Bomb Product of the Day a few days back.

The film’s producer and star, Marlon Wayans, looked dapper in head to toe black.

Quincy Brown is such a cutie! He smiled bright in a striped jacket.

Lisa Raye McCoy stuck to her signature white for the carpet. Pretty, though I wish she had truly committed to the look with a white or nude pump.

Monique Coleman skewed summery in a keyhole halter by Bec & Bridge.

Terrence J. added an edgy twist to black and white with a biker jacket.

Lastly, comedian and film star Kali Hawk brought the glamour in a sultry red gown. Work!
That does it!

Throwback Thursday #TBT: The Style Evolution of Nicki Minaj

nicki-minaj-mansion

Nicki Minaj has always been….eccentric with her style. nicki-minaj-and-rocsi-1nicki-minaj-2

When she first stepped out on the scene, she was the Queen of crazy colored wigs and artistic outfits. Paired with insane lyrics that had everyone hype for the female M.C. (nobody will ever forget Itty Bitty Piggy or her verse on Monster), Ms. Minaj also had a thing for insane outfits, way-out-there makeup and the hair to match.Nicki Minaj at MTV VMA's 2010Nicki+Minaj+53rd+Annual+GRAMMY+Awards+Arrivals+ygbixWtz7lPl

Even in her earlier days, Minaj was experimenting with designer brands and labels (like for her first Grammy Awards show, she DID wear Givenchy), it was just the execution of her overwhelming outfits that needed a little bit of nurturing and love.nicki-minaj-201-american-music-awards-monique-lhuillier-resort-2013-gown

We then got to see the style evolution take place: Nicki was still wearing color, but had started ditching the out there makeup and neon-colored wigs. We could really focus on her looks (because she is stunning!) and actually get excited to see what she’d wear next. Nicki Minaj seen during Memorial Day celebration at Liquid Pool Loungel, Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegasnicki-minaj-2014-mtv-emas-saint-laurentNowadays, it’s nothing to see this mogul wearing paired-down designer threads; Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Balmain, Alexander McQueen and more race through her closet as she effortlessly slays on the red carpet or even in her day to day musings on Instagram. She wears more everyday makeup as well as toned down hair (although she will experiment with highlights every so often).Nicki Minaj in La Bourjoisie Nicki+Minaj+2015+MTV+Video+Music+Awards+Red+xcRyQlibBW_xNicki Minaj's Brother Jelani's Wedding Alexander McQueen Red V Neck Ruched Dress

Rihanna’s Album Leaks; Now Fully Available Online

9 Rihanna's 8th Album Artwork Reveal Chrome Hearts Black Coat and Slip Dress + An Explanation of Her Anti Album Cover

It seems the world couldn’t wait for Rihanna’s new music after dropping a single featuring Drake yesterday. Although her album was reportedly marketed to be released the 29th, file-sharing sites got a hold of the thirteen-track album, which has now gone viral. The album, which was highly anticipated, is Rihanna’s first one in over three years (last one was Unapologetic).Rihanna's 8th Album Artwork Reveal Chrome Hearts Black Coat and Slip Dress

After the leak, there was nothing else for the pop star to do but to officially release the album. So in a way, there was still a climatic drop. For now, you can listen and purchase the music on Tidal.

Will you be grabbing her album anytime soon?

Show Review: Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2016 Couture

Every designer has an inspiration for his or her collection, but few take their subject matter as far and as deep as Jean Paul Gaultier. He loves to play on the side of kitsch and shows some of the most ostentatious and bold looks on the runway season after season: creating one of the must-see catwalks consistently and essentially making him a natural fit for Couture. His Spring 2016 influence was that of legendary Parisian hotspot, Le Palace—a party go-to in the 70’s for people like Gaultier and all of his famous friends and muses.

Punk Queen Edwige Belmore was the motivation behind the assortment of 80’s power suits, the brand’s signature menswear-inspired tailoring, loungewear that we’d all love to wear outdoors, head-turning metallics, and vibrant colors. Larger-than-life curls on the models and sultry red lips were a nod to another icon of the era, Farida Khelfa, who just happened to be taking in the show from the front row.

Gaultier’s runways are always a party and this one was a veritable smash: jam packed with sixty-seven ensembles. Out of the gate, bedroom-inspired dressing was on the menu with long contrast-trim jackets that could double as robes, silky trousers, sumptuous satin trim, beautiful brocade, and embellished stripes.

Lace injected romance into the assortment on slinky slip dresses, barely-there blouses, a completely sheer one-shoulder gown layered over a classic collared shirt and tie, and a waterfall hem tunic and trousers that screamed red carpet in spite of their unabashed effortlessness.

A woman has to be quite the daredevil to wear JPG on the red carpet. Style mavens like Lady Gaga, Marion Cotillard, Alicia Keys, and Naomi Campbell wore the brand last year, thus they may slip on a design or two next month at the GRAMMYs and Oscars.

Gaultier brings great happiness and pleasure to fashion. The industry has been doing considerably better when it comes to the level of seriousness to which it holds itself, but the iconic French designer continues to make it all fun and enjoyable no matter what stance is steadfastly clung to around him. This was as carefree and lighthearted as it can possibly get, while still churning out fabulous clothes of great quality. It truly doesn’t get any better than that.

Kris Jenner Launches Signature Jewelry Collection

Even in the midst of drama surrounding son Rob Kardashian and rumored bae Blac Chyna, Kris Jenner is still making power moves. After assisting her daughters in securing lip kit lines and multiple book deals, the momager is cashing in on her own terms by starting a jewelry collection.

The reality star matriarch officially announced the launch of her accessories via Instagram earlier this afternoon. She posted an elegant selfie featuring her inaugural piece, the multi-hued Marjoca Pearls Necklace with the accompanying caption – “My new jewelry line, Kris Jenner Signature Collection, is here!! The first limited-edition necklace is available now..”

kris-jenner-set-to-launch-jewelry-line-fbd1

Ringing in at $149, the Marjoca Pearls Necklace feature a ‘delicately crafted ensemble of rare colors of gray, Tahitian black, white, champagne and oro’. The 45-inch strand necklace is quite versatile and can also be worn a a bracelet.

Kris is also adopting a TV marketing strategy while offering up a pair of free Marjoca pearl earrings with every purchase. They originally retail for $55.

The Kardashian sisters and mom Kris Jenner celebrated their Cosmpolitan November 2015 issue cover at a party last night at Ysabel in California.

Although I’m not quite a “pearl gal”, I think this is a great move for Kris Jenner. There’s nothing wrong with expansion, right?
