Happy Wednesday!

Lately, I’ve had this love affair with muted hues – especially my sleek silvery grays. So, when Cemetric Derell’s Embossed Snakeskin Leather Clutch drifted down my Instagram timeline, my mind immediately flashed back to the fall/winter ’15 catwalks.

Gray on gray is hot for this season! Designers including Michael Kors and Lela Rose all incorporated this powerful neutral into their seasonal collections.

Cemetric Derell’s Gray Embossed Snakeskin Viper Leather Clutch is perfect for pairing with a simple tee/jeans and even a monochromatic ‘fit as seen in Stella McCartney’s presentation (below).

I’d say Cemetric is spot on with this design! Available for only $110, the styling possibilities are limitless. (Take a cue from me and peruse a few the runways for inspiration.)

Crooner turned reality starlet Christina Milian was spotted in New York City dressed in a $125 Topshop Premium Fitted Single Breasted Blazer and matching $68 Ankle Length Pants from the brand:

Cute!

Her sleek fitted premium blazer features a single-breasted design which nips in at the waist with a button front and flat side pockets.

Her tailored suit pants boast a practical style with multiple pockets and cut in ankle grazer length to show off statement heels.

Love these versatile pieces. If you’re feeling her sleek ‘fit shop the look below, also available in a gorgeous burgundy colorway:

It was all about iconic stripes for Naomie Harris at the Zurich Premiere of Spectre. For the occasion, she slipped on a Ralph Lauren Spring 2016 Strapless Stripe Slit Gown:

Naomie stuck to the brand’s rather simple styling, even eschewing the runway’s statement-making earrings.

Hot!

What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

*Naomie was also spotted at the film’s London premiere after party the night before in a sultry navy Mugler number. Thoughts on this ensemble?

Cutie Demi Lovato was the lady in red as spotted in New York City, wearing a $1,319 Iris Van Herpen High Neck Wrap Front Sleeveless Jumpsuit:

Berry hued lips and perfectly sculpted brows rounded out her beauty notes.

Her red silk blend jumpsuit features pleated details, wrap style front, a fitted silhouette and a back zip fastening.

The ‘fit is ok but I would have paired this with a higher heel perhaps.  What do you think?

I discovered Taylor Jay’s collection on the ‘Gram when the ladies of Fab Four Fashion modeled the brand’s saint holiday dresses:

While I was on a search for the silver number on their site…

… I stumbled upon this sleeveless cardigan, which is definitely dope, and a fabulous contender for Bomb Product of the Day.

The $98 wrap is angled so it has a slight drape and fits most.
Get it here.

The stars were definitely in attendance for the first ever InStyle Awards. On-trend cape gowns, sultry cutouts, lace, and sheer frocks were in abundance.

Let’s get into the evening’s looks shall we?

Mommy-to-be Kim Kardashian donned her favorite $5,414 Valentino Cape Gown, this time in white. She was glowing!

Stylish mother-daughter duo Zoe Kravitz and Lisa Bonet were chic in Calvin Klein and Valentino, respectively. I always love seeing them together.

Selena Gomez brought some edge to the affair in Louis Vuitton.

Sir John kept it simple in an expertly-tailored navy blazer, chocolate-hued leather moto skinnies, and high-top kicks.

Jason Momoa repped for the fellas in all-black. He’s positively scrumptious!

Kate Hudson called forth warmer temperatures in a rosette-embroidered Giles Deacon gown. She’s been killing it in the fashion department this month!

A black Schiaparelli gown with a plunging neckline was Gwyneth Paltrow’s choice for the evening. Hot!

Diane Kruger was gilded in a long-sleeve Preen dress with shoulder and side cutout detailing. Wasn’t too keen on the length here…I’m usually wowed by her looks, but this was a bit underwhelming.

Miranda Kerr was white hot in a sexy Ulyana Sergeenko number.

White dresses were definitely one of the night’s biggest trends! Alessandra Ambrosio slipped one on by Alexandre Vauthier.

Karla Souza was pretty in pink in a lasercut leather design in the rosy hue.

Meek Mill showed off his winter style for the ‘Gram, and paused for a shot in a $3,200 Gucci Montgomery Twill Coat.

He accessorized with a few gold chains and a hat.

The 100% wool topper has a braided leather and toggle closure, and has front flap pockets.

His followers weren’t super fans of the piece, but he surely is! So much so, that he got one in an icy blue, and informed everyone that it cost $3,500 (that much include tax).

Which color is your preference?

Cop one in navy blue at Mr. Porter.

Makeup Artist Jennilie Perreault @JCoperro was run off of Instagram after posting a picture, saying, “Today, I decided to turn myself into an African-American, at least I tried!”

Immediately, her followers started accusing her of using black face. She deleted her account @JCoperro, only to create a new account, @JCoppero_. On it, she posted the following apology, “Allow me to apologize for what I did yesterday. My behavior was extremely inappropriate. It was embarrassing, but I learned that nobody appreciated my poor behavior. In the future, I have every intention of curbing my thoughtless actions and learn to adjust my behavior. Again, I am sorry for my actions and I hope that we can put this matter behind us.”

Allow me to apologize for what I did yesterday. My behavior was extremely inappropriate. It was embarrassing, but I learned that nobody appreciated my poor behavior.

Her detractors wrote, “While I don’t think she did a bad job makeup wise, I’m not sure what made her think this was a good idea. I can understand the people who are saying at least she wasn’t doing it to be hurtful or malicious but when you live in a country that has a long history of minorities being portrayed as costumes, this is the reaction you’re going to get.” Others supported her work, writing, “It’s nothing wrong with this at all, She wanted to be an African American for her photo shoot or whatever, At least she looks nice and is embracing the color and not saying anything negative , Yall take sh*t too serious , Especially blacks.”

Race still matters in America. And our current political climate is too sensitive for people to take these artistic liberties.

What do you think? Was her picture innocent or completely ignorant?

Olivia Wilde was spotted at the Suffragette 18th Annual Savannah Film Festival in a $3,900 Peter Pilotto Counter Crocheted Lace Paneled Embellished Cady Dress:

Her white cady and crocheted lace dress is from the brand’s Fall collection, featuring silver pinball-inspired hardware, a belted waist, long sleeves, and pink pastel floral embroidery.

Pretty!
