Taraji P. Henson shimmered and sparkled on the Taraji and Terrence’s White Hot Holidays special in the same $4,250 J. Mendel Burnt Orange Deep V-Neck Gown Kate Hudson originally sported back in June:
Both ladies paired the stunner similarly, though Kate opted for a topknot to allow the number’s neckline to shine.
The lamé gown features allover pleating, a crossover v-neckline, sleeveless silhouette, and slim band at the waist.
Have you guys heard of Jennifer Le? The Toronto Bombshell has a line of dope thigh highs, booties, and heels, perfect for the bold stylista.
In addition to her immense talent, Le has got her own. She stated in an open message on Instagram, “This collection has been entirely self-funded. No financial investors, no rich boyfriend or mommy/daddy to “borrow” money from, shoot, my own parents don’t even know I have a shoe line lol. I work a regular FT 9-5 job to fund my dream. What I’m really trying to say is… If you have a dream/goal, whatever it may be.. You can make it happen, I did. This is only the beginning.. I have a long way to go. And, I hope you can continue to grow with me.” Yasss!
I’ve already drooled about her 2BD studded boots, and her exotic skinned thigh highs are a must for this winter! At $279-$400, the prices aren’t so bad, either.
Happy Wednesday!
So while down in Atlanta for Cocktails with Claire, I knew I had to pop by Marlo Hampton’s closet for a Cocktails with Claire Closet Confessions video!
When I tell you Marlo Hampton has everything, she has EVERYTHING! Her closet was like a luxury department store, bubbling over with Christian Louboutin, Chanel, Hermes, Balmain, Moschino, Valentino, I could go on…
But during our sit down, Marlo revealed that there’s more to her than just labels.
Check out our interview below:

Lupita Nyong’o went bold at the Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Mexico City Photocall in a Roland Mouret Spring 2016 Aqua Lendal Halter Dress:
Her dress was paired with orange cutout sandals on the runway.
She has been absolutely flawless during this promo tour.
If you caught the Award-Winning movie Selma that chronicled the historic 1965 voting right campaign led by Dr. King Jr., you might have wondered who was the amazing and captivating director behind the project. That would be Ava Duvernay.
The Compton-raised powerhouse became the first Black woman to be nominated for a Best Director Golden Globe for the intense history-remaking she produced with Selma featuring actor David Oyelowo.
A visionary beauty in every sense of the word, DuVernay is a writer, producer, director and a distributor for independent film projects. Making her directorial debut with the critically-acclaimed 2008 hip-hop documentary, This Is Life,DuVernay has quickly stepped into front and center for documentary, social, and directorial work, including her award-winning drama Middle of Nowhere and of course the infamous Scandal.
The loc’d beauty is not only successful in her own right, but a major advocate for female directors, the proper representation of women of color in the media, and opening the discussion on a critical analysis of major topics through cinema and film.
All of DuVernay’s political and social activism is not going unnoticed; after years of hard work, she’s finally getting the props she (rightfully) deserves. She’s appeared in and on the cover of Elle’s “Women in Hollywood” issue, as well as Essence’s “The Game Changers” issue, only showing how this beautiful storyteller is truly touching the world one project at a time. She’s making waves in the industry, openly speaking about her pride being a “black director” and unapologetically shining a light to the discrimination practices of Hollywood and the world.
As if we didn’t need another reason to love her, DuVernay recently made huge headlines when her Ava DuVernay Barbie, with waist-grazing dreads and all, which hit online stores just one day ago. The DuVernay doll sold out within a matter of 17 minutes on Mattel, and shortly thereafter on Amazon, who issued a statement saying they didn’t know when (or if) the doll would be restocked. The best part? All proceeds of the doll’s sales went to two non-profit organizations (Witness and Color of Change) which raise awareness about issues including police brutality and over-incarceration. Even with her doll, she’s making a positive contribution to her community!
Aside from being a positive role model for all young girls out there, she is definitely a beauty changing the world slowly but surely, and is thus our Beauty Crush Wednesday.
