Lupita Nyong’o looked like a beautiful black babe from the future at the Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens European Premiere in a Proenza Schouler Spring 2016 Beaded Peplum Knot Blouse and Sheer Beaded Skirt:
Lineisy Montero wore her look on the runway, which was paired with Lupita’s statement-making earrings and flats. The actress added bold blue lips and ankle-strap sandals to the killer ensemble.
We’re not worthy!
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
We here at Fashion Bomb Daily don’t have celebrity favorites, but if we did, I’m sure Viola Davis would definitely make our Top 5 list. The effortless beauty truly has tackled the world of media, film and motherhood; all while developing an effortless and enviable style.
We couldn’t help but gush over the recent cover of InStyle, where a natural makeup, untouched chocolate skin, and beautifully coiled Viola Davis graced the covers. It was an amazing sight to behold, marveling at the beauty and richness of skin we all come in!
Born into extreme poverty as a child, the Californian-born, Rhode Island-raised thespian would later go on to pursue her theatrical gifts in college and beyond, joining the Julliard School and later the Actor Screens Guild; however, she would not truly receive her accolades until 2001, where she would win a Tony Award for her portrayal of Tonya in King Hedley II.
After graduating from the Julliard School in 1993, Ms. Davis began her career on stage and later transitioned into film, her performance as Mrs. Miller in Doubt (alongside Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams) earning her several nominations including a Golden Globe, SAG Award and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. However, many of us knew her as Aibileen from The Help, where she won a SAG award and surely catapulted her career forward.
Now we know her as our Thursday-night stealer, as we sit glued to the T.V. waiting to see how Annalise Keating will get out of another obstacle in How To Get Away With Murder. Aside from it just being an all-around amazing show, it surely proved at this year’s Emmys: Viola Davis became the first African-American woman, as well as the first black woman of any nationality, to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. In her beautiful interview with InStyle magazine this month, she so eloquently said, “I am happy that our writers challenged the previous limitations of what has been written for women of color and created someone interesting, sexual, dynamic, bold.”
Not only do we care about Fashion over at Fashion Bomb Daily, but we care about people making a difference one conversation at a time. In 2012 she was named one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People In The World”, a year just after the adoption of her beautiful daughter, Genesis. Many of us may remember Genesis, who in leiu of fairy princess outfits or ballerina getups for Halloween, dressed up as Davis after her Emmy win.
Whether it’s discussing the convoluted perception of how Black women are seen in the media (“You can not win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there”), the joys and challenges of being a mom, or the challenges of victims such as her own sister to sexual abuse, Viola Davis is a woman who uses her social influence and voice to speak out and speak for those who may otherwise never be heard.
I think Ms. Davis teaches us all to love the skin we are in, be fearless in our endeavors and forever unapologetic in our quest to get there. That’s why she’s our Beauty Crush Wednesday! Is she yours?

Kourtney Kardashian took daughter Penelope and niece North to ballet class in Woodland Hills, repping brother-in law Kanye West in a $253 Yeezy x Adidas Originals Black Cropped Sweatshirt, $500 Track Pants, and $1,395 Balenciaga Giant 12 Mini City Leather Tote:
Her black cotton sweatshirt features a cropped length, round neck, and a sleeveless silhouette.
Her cognac stretch cotton track pants showcase an elasticated waistband, side zipped pockets, an exposed seam detail, gathered ankles, and a back pocket.
Her shiny lambskin bag features the iconic French fashion house’s signature gold-tone hardware, an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap, zip-top closure, and an exterior zip pocket.
North was the real star here.

Lately, the weather in D.C. has been in the 60s and totally inappropriate for Christmas weather! But if you’re in an area where it’s getting a little frigid, let’s warm you up with our Fashion Bombshell today, Corrie hailing from sunny Long Beach, California.
She says,“While I am the mother of three and wife of over twenty years, I am also a fashion blogger/ “Fashion Facilitator ” of EnTouchFashion.com .” 
” I would describe my style as feminine, flirty, classic & timeless. I love & live for vintage clothing and draw inspiration from Diana Ross to Betty Davis. ” 
” I must say…I didn’t know what a fashion blog was until I wandered onto Fashion Bomb Daily nearly five years ago. Through Claire, I have become inspired to search out my own personal place in the fashion world.”
“On Entouchfashion.com, my primary focus is on spotlighting Up & Coming designers.”
“Thank you Ms. Sulmers, you have inspired and motivated many around the world and are truly a SHERO.”
Love it! I’m all in favor of the multi-colored maxi dress, black leather shorts and toned legs being on my Christmas List! See more of Corrie’s style on Instagram (@entouch_fashion) or subscribe to her Youtube channel, “EnTouch Fashion” here. What are your thoughts?
Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature showcasing the singular style of Fashion Bomb Readers. Send your name, location, a description of your style, and 6-8 clear, unfiltered, head-to-toe pictures of 5-10 different outfits (no collages) to thefashionbomb@gmail.com. Images submitted will be featured on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any of our social media platforms. Comments can be harsh, so bring your A game! Please be advised: once published, pictures will not be removed or taken down.
So, I’ve RSVPed to a total of 3 holiday parties. And, honestly, I have a love/hate relationship with these things.
Yes, they’re tons of fun and you’re allowed the chance to socialize with some amazing people but (at the same time) it can be a bit daunting to find something to wear.
But, thank to Zara. My festive frock woes are over, lol. After taking a quick trip to The Galleria in Houston, I ran across this Fringed Halter Neck Top. Perfect for ANY party!
This top was so much fun to wear! I passed on the conventional LBD and paired my version with a pair of leather leggings/embellished heels. It was a hit! But, if that’s not quite your speed, try your take on playing with proportions by donning a pair of jeans or even a mini skirt! Just have fun with it.
Available for only $49.90, I would consider this little gem a steal. See additional purchasing details here.
How would you rock it?

Hey ya’ll!
I feel like I’ve been missing in action! Oh my gosh. But, it feels good to be back (post grad-school)! Anywho, I’m checking in today with another fly fashionista simply known as Sonique.
I discovered Miss Sonique during one of my famous Instagram binges. I sifted through her page – completely inspired. And, I was utterly shocked at how she managed to make even the simplest of ‘fits look like a million bucks.
This blogger’s style is fierce! She is a master in proportion play and she also knows a thing or two about rocking more risky pieces. But, despite donning a few trendy pieces here and there, Sonique stays true to her style and let’s her personality (and confidence) shine through.
Slay on, hun!
Want to know more about Sonique of Sonique Saturday? Well, head on over to her blog here or feel free to follow her on the ‘Gram @soniquesaturday.

@HarpersBazaarUS suffered from traditional media’s foot in mouth disease this morning, calling model Lineisy Montero an unconventional beauty.
In the screenshot above, the fashion magazine wrote, Unconventional beauties like @LineisyMontero, who debuted at the Prada Fall 2015 show and was one of the most in-demand models, challenged typical runway standards this year.” Unconventional to whom?
Harper’s quickly corrected their foible by deleting the original post and uploading a more diverse image, writing, “@RuthBell, @AndreaPejic and @LineiseyMontero among others, challenged typical runway standards in the fashion industry this year. On BAZAAR.com @KristenVBateman rounds up the unconventional beauties who broke the mold in 2015.”
They corrected their foible, but the damage had been done.
@ThatGenevieve wrote, “It just rubbed me the wrong way. @LineisyMontero is “unconventional” by who’s standards? Poor choice of words. I sort of get what they intended but it did not come across.” @ChrissyFord, who uploaded the original photo, countered, “I [actually] posted it and I don’t find being called unconventional offensive when we all know what the REAL standard of beauty is in the fashion industry. It wasn’t a race thing, which is why I reposted to showcase the varied women we were featuring, and not to take away that we were highlighting amazing diverse women that are making waves.”
@NKPierre wrote, “We have to pay attention to verbiage. It is imperative that we change the dialogue and empower each other with positive language. Whatever your ‘intent’, the word choice was extremely poor, and honestly shocking. I’m happy sister @thatgenevieve called this to my attention. As far as I’m concerned, the new post is putting a bandaid on what should be a platform for a message (and an apology). Unconventional? Nope. Flat out beautiful.”
Agreed!
