Tika Sumpter was spotted at the Ride Along 2 Miami Premiere in the same $1,485 David Koma Two Tone Black and White Cady Lace Up Dress Selena Gomez originally sported back in August:

Tika added a pop of color to the pairing with red lips. Both stylish stars wore it almost identically other than that.

The two-tone black and white dress features lace-up detailing and a sultry side slit.

I loved the dress on both ladies!

One thing we see Halle Berry doesn’t do…is age. The beautiful American actress and former fashion model will be hitting 50 next August, yet she doesn’t look a single day older than the Halle many of us came to know and love in the earlier parts of her modeling and acting career.

Maria Halle Berry (later legally changed to Halle Berry) was born in Ohio and raised, alongside her sister, exclusively by her mother ( who is of English and German descent). An active and scholarly student in school, Berry would later begin entering and competing in beauty contests. Long before she ever stepped foot behind a movie production screen, Berry was making significant strides in the world of modeling and pageantry.

She won Miss Teen All American in 1985, Miss Ohio USA in 1986, and placed first runner-up in the 1986 Miss USA pageant. She was the first African-American Miss World entrant in 1986, and shortly thereafter, moved to New York City to pursue her acting ambitions after her pursuit of a modeling career appeared to be less than glamorous.

Of course, we know she went on to gain a steady work as an actress, her first film debut coming in a small role for Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever (1991). She would go on to play many more roles, choosing to tackle hefty and serious roles that would range from career-driven women to former drug addicts.

Halle would go on to make history (again) when she would become the first woman of color to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her starring role in the movie Monster’s Ball. Her win has gone down as one of the greatest ‘Oscar moments’ of all time; Berry used her acceptance speech to honor previous black actresses who had never had the opportunity and opened the door for more diversity to happen in Hollywood (alongside fellow recipient, Denzel Washington).

Since then, she’s also gone on to play some notable characters in today’s media. Many of us know her for her portrayal of the superhero Storm in the film adaptations of the X-men series, as Catwoman, or as one of the Bond girl’s in Die Another Day.

Her recent work has included Gothika, Their Eyes Were Watching God (where she was nominated for an Emmy), and  Frankie & Alice, simply to name a few. She has been the face of Revlon cosmetics since the 90s and the face of Versace. She’s launched her own production company, had three major Hollywood divorces, and been an active participant to political and social activism for years: supporting campaigns for Barack Obama, raising funding and awareness of women’s issues, and bills that protect celebrities’ children from harassment by photographers.

Aside from being named in “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People, “100 Sexiest Women in the World” on FHM, “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire or “Sexiest Black Woman” by Access Hollywood, we at Fashion Bomb Daily call her a woman whose style has truly grown over time (okay, not as catchy). Let’s give you a throwback and take a look at Halle Berry then, and Halle Berry now.

All-black was on the agenda for Gigi Hadid while out and about in the Big Apple. She kept warm in the most rocker chic way ever in a $2,195 Kenneth Cole Black Shearling Coat, Supertrash Black Charlie Buckle Boots, and $2,279 Saint Laurent Black Monogram Leather Shoulder Bag:

She completed her look with a pair of $3,670 Balmain Black Stretch Leather Skinny Pants.

Her genuine lamb shearling coat features an A-line silhouette, open front, foldover lapels, side seam pockets, and a self-tie belt.

Her black leather booties showcase buckle detailing and functional 1.5″ heels.

Her classic leather shoulder bag features the French fashion house’s gilt logo insignia, a structured envelope silhouette, matelassé stitching, a magnetic snap-flap closure, and pull-through chain strap.

Hot!

Gigi’s boots are sold-out, but you can get her coat here and bag here.

When Balmain came out with their Spring 2016 Campaign photos this morning, I’m sure many people raised their eyebrows when they did not see a Jenner or a Hadid. Instead, Olivier Rousteing kindly reminded us of the supermodel pros in this business: Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer.

The iconic trio were shot in minimal lighting inside a New York City studio alongside the direction of Pascal Dangin. In response to his choice of the supermodels instead of the trendy models we constantly see on the runways today, Rousteing said, “When I was a schoolboy in Bordeaux, it was their editorials that first made clear to me the amazing transformative power of fashion…Looking at them now, I like to think that perhaps someday these shots might also form part of some future designer’s mood board.”

We can’t help but agree. So what do you think of the latest Spring 2016 campaign photo?

Target is launching its first ever in house beauty line of nail polish on January 17th. The collection, entitled Defy & Inspire, will include 38 different shades all named after iconic pop culture TV shows. The on trend colors include minimalist nudes, vampy reds, and vibrant aquas and are accompanied by names like “Make it Work”, “Real Housewife”, and “Confessional”.

In addition to being on trend, the polishes are also 5-free, meaning don’t contain chemicals like DBP, toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin and camphor. Using unique ingredients like pearls and highly concentrated pigments, Target ensures each color is long wearing and glossy. Thanks to patented plasticizers, the colors also resist peeling or cracking once applied.

Best of all, each nail polish costs only $7 a bottle! It might be time to abandon Essie and OPI and give Target’s collection a try, no?

Quite a few of you fell in love with Laura Govan’s recent Instagram look! Naimah typed, “I am loving Laura’s outfit! The jacket and pants are to die! Olive is so in season and I love how comfortable this outfit looks but still chic and pulled together. Who are the pants and jacket by?”

While we may not always receive justice when a system is corrupt against a group of people, there may always be a silver lining or act that provides a small glimmer of hope.

Yesterday, January 6, 2015, the Texas State Trooper who pulled over Sandra Bland, Brian Encinia, was fired after being charged with perjury. According to a grand jury, he lied about the confrontation that took place between him and Bland after pulling her over. He claimed she was “combative and uncooperative” while testifying in court, also providing a written statement to detail the altercation.

The affidavit stated that he “”removed her from her vehicle to further conduct a safer traffic investigation,” but grand jurors “found that statement to be false,” said special prosecutor Shawn McDonald, who was one of five special prosecutors appointed to investigate the case in question.

In case you needed a reminder: After making an improper lane change, Sandra Bland was pulled over by a police officer who, with video evidence available, holds his gun and repeats “I will light you up!” after Bland refused to get out of her car. His claim for the arrest was that she assaulted a public servant (police officer), although the video provides audio footage of Bland off-camera screaming that the officer had knocked her head into the ground and that he was about to break her wrists.

Sandra Bland was taken to a jail 50 miles outside of Houston, and three days later was found hanging in a jail cell. Bland’s death was ruled a ‘suicide’ and sparked a nationwide outrage amongst the Black community, civil rights activists and citizens who supported the Black Lives Matter movement and who believed her death was a homicide. Most recently, a grand jury had decided not to persecute any sheriff’s officials or jailers in her death.

Encinia’s perjury charge carries a maximum of one year imprisonment plus a $4,000 fine. On top of the charge, the Texas Department of Public Safety has begun “termination proceedings” against Encinia, who had still been receiving a paycheck even after Bland was found dead in her cell.

While this will never be enough in the fight of the Black Lives Matter Movement or the grieving families of all those unlawfully killed by police brutality and an unjust system, may we have a small piece of hope knowing that some justice is better than none. We continue to pray for her family and the families of those who we will never forget in our quest for equality and respect in America.
