Kate Upton appeared at the Operation Smile 2015 Smile Gala in Beverly Hills in the same $698 Diane von Furstenberg Polka Dot Jumpsuit worn by Lala Anthony:
The black and blue polka-dot print one piece is cut from fluid silk and detailed with sheer black pinstriped sleeves and a contrasting purple leather waist-tie.
Lala wins this one for me! I love how she flipped the belt around to show the contrast leather, and the length works on her!

Whenever VOGUE throws a party, you know the who’s who of the fashion industry will show up and show out! The glamour was definitely on at the fashion bible’s 95th Anniversary Party.
Let’s see what the attendees wore!
Zendaya Coleman chose an artful LWD from Katherine Mavridis. This is my first time hearing of her designs and I’m certain this won’t be the last: she makes amazing pieces!
Rihanna stepped right out of her boudoir into the celebration, in Dior of course.
Kanye West and mother-in-law Kris Jenner were in attendance, though they appeared to be attending two different events. She went glam in a black off-the-shoulder gown and he was casual in a jersey-inspired top, destructed denim, and his own Yeezy kicks.
Zoe Kravitz literally walked off the Balenciaga runway to the affair, in the same gown she was draped in on the fashion house’s Spring 2016 catwalk. The dress is gorgeous and so is Zoe, but I would’ve loved simple ankle-strap sandals here.
Riley Montana looked every bit the supermodel in a long-sleeve lace-up Balmain LWD. Hot!
Liya Kebede showed some skin in a grey knit crop top and high-waist black patent leather skirt with a thigh-high slit. She never looks anything less than stunning.
Binx Walton continued Rih’s boudoir-ready vibe in a robe-inspired Alexander Wang tie-waist dress with black leather pointed-toe booties as anchors.
Lily Aldridge was gilded in a gold sequin Alexandre Vauthier mini dress.
Kendall Jenner added some texture to the affair in a strapless velvet LBD with a contrast white ruffle hem. I loved the length of this piece!
Izabel Goulart was the lady in red in a leather patent moto-inspired Alexandre Vauthier-inspired number.
Ines Rau kept it simple and chic in a black gown with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit and a pop of color with red lips.
Grace Bol harked back to Spring in a $299 Karen Millen Floral Print Pencil Dress.
Another gorgeous model, another Balmain dress! Anais Mali chose a blue pleated number from the brand for the party.
W’s Stefano Tonchi and Giovanna Battaglia posed together, with the style maven in Alexander McQueen. She never has an off-day. I’m sure of it!
Bella Hadid has become a full-on Balmain girl and she donned a peplum halter dress from the fashion house with sheer windowpane paneling.
Yasiin Bey donned all-black for the occasion with Rick Owens platform sneakers.
Closing out the fête was Alina Cho in a $2,385 Balmain Pleated Wide Leg Jumpsuit. I need this in my closet stat!
Who had your favorite look at the fête?

Well, Fashion Month is coming to a close, so it seems as though a few celebs may be slowly getting back into their grooves. From red carpet premieres to just hanging around town, a few of our favorite stars have been keeping up with the runways, while some went for more relaxed looks. Let’s see who topped our list!
First up, is Nicki Minaj, who was snapped with a friend before partying the night away. The rap superstar rocked a black and white striped Balenciaga dress, a Chanel bag and nude Christian Louboutin heels. The play on meshing an athletic aesthetic with feminine accessories worked in her favor. Hot! And are you feeling her honey blond hair?
Next up is Marjorie Harvey, and yes, the lady does love couture! The fierce fashionista is constantly giving these 20-somethings a run for their money. She took a few photos before heading to the Céline show in Paris…wearing Celine of course. Not sure what the weather is like there, given the feathers and boots. But let’s be honest. Mrs. Harvey slays.
Speaking of slaying, get into Taraji P. Henson in this Leviticus dress. The leg, the lighting, the color…HOT!
Naomi Campbell was all legs in a killer, black Versace number as the supermodel/actress hit up the red carpet for the American Horror Story: Hotel premiere. I swear, Donnatella has never steered Miss Campbell wrong. HOT! Diamonds and black pumps tied her look together.
Joan Smalls was comfy and chic while up and down during Paris Fashion Week. A denim jacket, cropped tee and silk Givenchy trousers were on the menu for the supermodel. Cute look.
Adrienne Bailon shimmered at a Variety Latino event on the weekend. The Real talk show co-host channeled her inner flapper in a silk Parker top and Maje fringed skirt. Hot! And as always, her hair and makeup team deserve some sort of award. Beat!
Gabrielle Union kept it casual while snapping a selfie. She wore a black overcoat, denim shirt, black leather skirt and black slip on sneakers. Very cool transitional look, and the leopard print purse was a nice touch.
LeToya Luckett was also a fan of all things laid back before heading out. A fedora, Dior ‘So Real’ sunglasses, basic tee and an M2Malletier clutch were all she needed for an easy weekend ensemble.
And topping off this week’s edition is Eudoxie Bridges. The new mom was all smiles in a blue Diane von Furstenberg suit and Saint Laurent ‘Jane’ sandals. The color is DIVINE on her. Not to mention the fit of the suit was sized to perfection. Hot!
Who were your top pics this week?
I think it’s safe to say that “can’t stop, won’t stop” is pretty much Diddy’s life mantra, isn’t it? This Summer, he announced a Bad Boy reunion tour and now he is working on not only two albums, but a new record label.
Today, Epic Records Chairman and CEO LA Reid announced an exclusive partnership with Mr. Combs which will bring forth two albums from the star. He’ll be commemorating the momentous event with a performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards this week in ATL. Of the partnership, Reid said, “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs aka Puff Daddy and I have been musical collaborators since the 1990s, when we both ran independent record labels, myself with LaFace and soon after, Puffy with Bad Boy. Over the years, we not only enjoyed incredible success together, but we also became lifelong friends. Today, of course, Puffy is truly in a league all his own, continuing to influence culture and ignite musical revolutions time and time again. He’s a true innovator and I could not be more excited to join forces once again.”
And that’s not all! The deal also brings with it a new label between Bad Boy and Epic. Already on the agenda though quite hush-hush are new artist signings, music projects, and albums from Bad Boy’s already-impressive roster. We should hear about what’s to come before year’s end.
“I have known LA Reid since the very beginning and together we have enjoyed countless successes over our long friendship,” said Diddy. “To now work with LA in this capacity feels more like a homecoming than a new beginning. Not only is he a fearless and smart businessman, he believes in artists and understands music better than anyone. He embodies hard work and true success, evident in all of his endeavors. To collaborate with LA Reid is to collaborate with the very best.”
Exciting stuff no? I think everyone’s a fan of Diddy’s music at this point and his career as an entrepreneur and business man are an undeniable inspiration. Here’s to hoping he gets Dirty Money back together because I’d like another Last Train to Paris-caliber album!
What do you think of Puff’s latest news?
For their 50th anniversary issue, Cosmpolitan Magazine tapped the six Jenner/Kardashian women as their cover stars. While it’s a beautiful family photo featuring Khloe, Kourtney, Kim, Kris, Kylie, and Kendall in crisp white shirts, the cover line dubbing the clan, “America’s First Family” has brought the magazine under considerable fire.
Egregious click bait aside, we thought it’d behoove the glossy to do a quick fact check. America’s First family?
While Cosmo is no doubt hoping to sell issues, dubbing the Kardashian/Jenners “America’s First Family,” particularly at a time when the actual first family of the United States happens to be the first-ever black first family, seems woefully disrespectful.
This is also why your editorial staff cannot be full of white girls. Or that one Black person who is afraid of losing her job.

Twitter, of course, has been absolutely obliterating @Cosmopolitan’s mentions.
The only First Family we acknowledge @Cosmopolitan. Y’all tried it. pic.twitter.com/2FuEJUcKBZ

Like… “America’s First Family” the level of disrespect is appalling. @Cosmopolitan you should be ashamed!!

You know it’s bad when white women are livid at @Cosmopolitan

As par the course, the magazine has yet to release a statement. But we’re expecting there will be something Monday morning.
What do you think? Was this too far? Or are people being overly sensitive?
Not sure if you could tell, but this season is all about 70’s revival from Fall’s fringe fascination to the resurgence of bell bottom pants.
Frame Denim’s $329 Le Mechanic Flared Jumpsuit falls right in line with the trend:
The utilitarian pieces comes in creamy denim, black, and blue denim color ways.
Wear it as is or slip it under a shearling coat when the temps dip south.
I love the ease of a jumpsuit, so you will definitely be seeing me wear one of these in an upcoming Style Diary.
It’s just a matter of deciding on which color…
Shop Candy Bomb has some stiff competition out there!
Black Cinema Tees recently hit the scene, with racer back tanks, slouchy off shoulder tees, and crewnecks, boasting pictures of Eartha Kitt, Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, and more.
Tamu Curtis, creator of the line, was inspired to design the collection by her father, a black film historian who now curates the long standing Classic Black Cinema Series in Charlotte, North Carolina.
She said, “Hollywood always and still has a direct influence on culture around the world through cinema. Film stars, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Rita Hayworth have consistently been idolized and promoted as the standard of Hollywood beauty and grace and we want our line to challenge ladies to start wearing t-shirts with Dorothy instead of Marilyn, Eartha instead of Audrey, Josephine instead of Rita. We hope they accept this challenge.”
We can certainly get behind that!
Prices range from $30-$40. Purchase at www.ClassicBlackCinemaTees.com.
I need the black Earth Kitt option!
See anything you must have?
As Aaliyah once sang, “Age ain’t Nothin But a Number…”
53-year-old Anna Dello Russo recently posed in the same Dior Fall 2015 swirl printed catsuit also worn by 51-year-old Marjorie Harvey:
Dior’s Fall 2015 collection was full of catsuits in various colors. Check ’em out below:
Both ladies certainly have the body for it, so more power to them!
I have a preference for Lady Harvey–she fills it out more.
What say you?
Adrienne Bailon showed off her sunglasses game on the ‘Gram in $470 Fendi Runway Mirrored Shades:
She later showed off an $118 Andrea Iyanah Leaf Print Nivada High Waist Swimsuit.
Her tropical print bikini has a high waisted bottom.
Her glasses have an acetate cat-eye shape that sits within a clear mask.
Sunglasses are always a bomb idea! Get yours at SunglassHut.com. Cop her swimsuit here.
Are you feeling ’em?
It’s pretty safe to say that Rihanna will be wearing Dior for the duration of her Paris trip!
She visited the Eiffel Tower with friends and family wearing a multistriped coat from the brand’s Fall 2013 Couture Collection.
I ned the details on that lip! It’s perfect for Fall.
The coat was modeled off the shoulder by Joan Smalls in Dior’s Fall 2013 Couture presentation.
This look is unexpected, but Rihanna manages to make it look fly. Work your Dior, girl!
