Empire was off last week because of the World Series, but it’s back tonight thankfully! Naturally, the fashion is on-high with a mix of fast and high-fashion, as well as some vintage thrown into the mix.
Let’s see what the cast will be draped in this evening!
She completed her look with some killer $515 Manolo Blahnik Ostramma Sandals, which of course she put to good use. Lucious was right by her side in head-to-toe John Varvatos.
She brings it every week!
Cookie also chatted with the show’s latest eye candy, Laz in an Alexander McQueen top. Mr. Delgado kept it simple in a black, leather-accented $375 BOSS Casino Jacket.

Ladies of color rejoice! For over a decade French women of color have been using Black Up, the first makeup company created with the sole purpose of enhancing the beauty of darker skin tones. Created by an African makeup artist, the cosmetics are made for the specific needs of black and mixed women’s skin tones. Before now, the brand was only available in Paris, but thanks to Sephora, Black Up was recently made available in the US.
The line includes a variety of products including eyeshadow, primer, and a contour stick, but the true stand out is their Matifying Fluid Foundation. It has over thirty shades tailor made for women of color! The foundation is designed to match undertones of coppery red, orange, and yellow-gold in order to allow your skin’s natural radiance to shine through. The medium coverage will ensure your blemishes and pores are disguised while the astringent ingredients are great for combination and oily skin. It dries in a semi-matte finish that creates the perfect “natural” make-up look.
Head to Sephora.com for the full collection and prepare for endless compliments on your glowing skin!
Halle Berry and Naomie Harris are recent black Bond beauties, but there are other African-American women who paved the way for them in the iconic film series. Last night, they gathered for the Black Women of Bond Tribute at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles.
Let’s get into the evening’s stylish ensembles!
Halle Berry was effortlessly beautiful (as always quite frankly) in a pale blue billowing Halston Heritage dress and $489 Stuart Weitzman Leg Wrap Sandals.
Current Bond babe Naomie Harris was the lady in red in a long-sleeve embroidered Burberry mini dress in the fiery hue, anchored with $795 Casadei Sheer Sandals. She literally can do no wrong in the style department this Fall.
Garcelle Beauvais opted for a menswear-inspired tuxedo blazer and black turtleneck, accenting her ensemble with shimmering sequin trousers.
Jay Ellis repped for the fellas in a gray three-piece suit. Dapper for sure!
Elise Neal was on-trend in a black tuxedo dress and over-the-knee boots.
Former Playboy model and Live and Let Die star Gloria Hendry showed just how amazing 66 can look in a belted number with a front slit. Take notes kids!
Diamonds Are Forever actress Trina Parks opted for all-black with red lips for a pop of color.
Iconic songstress and actress Freda Payne slipped on a textured LBD for the occasion.
Patron saint of the LWD, Lisa Raye wore…you guessed it! A white frock. I’m not a fan of the lace cardigan here: there are few things more chic than a white turtleneck dress after all.
Thoughts on the tribute and the looks at the momentous event?
I’m back with a new Bomb Blogger. And, she’s too fierce!
I’ve been eyeing Victoria’s blog, Blasian Gurl, for quite some time. I discovered her via Tumblr and found myself continuously visiting her site. Aside from her effortless style musings, she also highlights her travels, fitness adventures and even her thoughts on Fashion Week. Victoria’s blog is a well-curated collection of mind-blowing photos, witty commentary and inspiration galore.
Victoria’s style remains simple yet sexy. I mean, the girl manages to make distressed jeans and a grey tee look chic! Her no-fuss looks incorporate tons of neutrals, endless crop tops, thigh high stompers and sultry cutout pieces.
Slay on, hun!

It was quite a big deal when Victoria’s Secret announced that Rihanna would be returning to their runway to perform at their annual televised fashion show. Miss Fenty would be joined by the likes of The Weeknd as well as Selena Gomez. But now, Rihanna has cancelled on the event, reportedly to finish her new album. In her place, the high profile show has roped in Ellie Golding.
The British songstress will sing between models like Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Jac Jagaciak, Romee Strijd and many more. Only days ago, Gigi Hadid was announced as a recent addition to that line up.
Never one to be one-upped, Kendall Jenner has too announced she will be making her VS debut this year. Pretty big news for a model who recently celebrated her 20th birthday.
Padma Lakshmi couldn’t be missed at the Elton John AIDS Foundation 2015 An Enduring Vision Benefit in a Naeem Khan Spring 2016 Strapless Floral Embroidered Gown:
Her gown was paired with a matching headwrap, statement-making earrings, and opera gloves in the same printed embroidery.
