According to their Instagram, the woman who wears the shirt, should have a, “Mind like Lauryn, Graceful like Aaliyah, Salacious like Erykah, & Fly like Solange.” Could there be a more fabulous combo?
Another day, another look from Selena Gomez! The songstress kept the promo train going at BBC Radio 1 Studios. This time, she donned a Marc Jacobs Resort 2016 Red Embellished Coat, Black Button Front Shirt, and Red Mini Skirt:
Her coat was paired with a black headscarf, red leather shoulder bag carried as a clutch, and black platform booties on the Resort 2016 runway.
One more great look under her belt! What will she wear next? Stay tuned!
Happy Monday folks!
I got another ‘hosting’ credit under my belt this past weekend when I hosted a Macy‘s Front Row Fashion Show at Garden State Plaza in New Jersey! I was juiced to host alongside my fellow Haitian-American Media Maven, Karen Civil.
We helped Macy’s usher out Fall Fashion Trends, including preppy inspiration, Bohemian chic, furs, denim on denim, and more. The line up included Macy’s brands Jessica Simpson, Thalia, Tommy Hilfiger, INC, and Levi’s.
I saw lots of pieces I loved, namely a few fun pelts from Macy’s Fur Vault.
I need that coat!
For the occasion, Karen and I were outfitted in Macy’s dresses, and styled by Macy’s MyStylists (did you know Macy’s offers free styling services?). At any rate, I was styled in a Robert Rodriguez Cowl Neck Sheath Dress; Karen also kept it colorful in a Rachel Roy Sydney Sheath Dress.
Seeing their lovely faces made me think: it’s way past time to start planning Cocktails with Claire!
We’re going to do it big this year, and will probably start in November. Stay tuned to this space for updates!

Hey all! Celebs were busy this week with fashion month still continuing (Milan Fashion Week coming to a close). But a few others were busy with other projects. And some even escaped the pandemonium to catch a few rays while on vacation. We’ve ogled their Instagram shots, but which stars shared their best? Let’s take a look!
First up is Jennifer Hudson, who sang her heart out duting a performance to honor The Pope during his U.S. visit. The songbird wore a strapless navy gown with a cape by Prabal Gurung. Hmm… maybe if the cape was a part of the dress and not a detachable piece, I’d be head over heels.
Next up is Naomi Campbell, who snapped a quick photo in front of her hotel before leaving Milan. How chic is she in her fedora, turtleneck peplum top and printed pants?
Ciara has not been stingy with the ensembles! The face of Roberto Cavalli, it’s only fitting she’d wear a custom gown by the house to an amfAR event in Milan on the weekend. She looked stunning, and those legs go on for days!
Cara Delevingne was all smiles at a press event for her latest film Pan. The supermodel turned actress wore a feather Burberry frock and caged sandals. Hot!
Next up is Christina Milian, who was snapped holding on to the last days of summer. She vacationed with family and friends in Bimini, The Bahamas while rocking a hot Ashearah Swimwear neon laceup one-piece and We Are Pop Culture sunnies. Get it, girl!
Last, but not least, and giving you BAWDY is Laura Govan. She slayed in a black Madame X halter pencil dress (flaunting major cleavage) and Casadei pumps. Hot!
Today, Walker & Company Brands, a company that makes health and beauty simple for people of color by developing products and services tailored to their unique needs, has announced that they’ve raised $24 million in a Series B round of funding led by Institutional Venture Partners (IVP). The company, which owns Bevel products (a shaving system made for people of color), has also announced a partnership with Target to sell its flagship shaving product both in stores and online.
The bottom line: $24 million brings the company’s investments to a whopping $33.3 million dollars with names like John Legend, Magic Johnson and Ryan Leslie all involved as individual investors. In addition to no doubt bolstering Bevel, the new money will also help build out the research and development team. The company has already begun working on a new brand that “addresses an acute health or beauty need for women of color.“
Why it matters: A black-owned (owner Tristan Walker above) health and beauty company addressing the needs of men and women of color with investment by notable celebrities of color? That’s definitely something we can get behind.
Though Target isn’t slated to have Bevel’s product on shelves until early 2016, you can buy it online now.

Empire is taking over againand we’re all the better for it, fashion-wise. The New York Times published an inside look featuring Taraji P. Henson herself, the costume designers from Season 1 and 2, and Lee Daniels on the inspiration behind Cookie’s upcoming ensembles. Long story short, Cookie sells! (Take a look at Saks’ Empire-inspired curated collections from earlier this year). Judith Leiber will be selling a series of Cookie-style crystal-studded clutches later this year with Saks’ rival, Neiman Marcus. (NY Times)

After selling out in 3 hours during pre-sale last week, we encouraged FashionBombDaily readers to pick up their own pair when they went live on Puma.com this weekend. Too late! Now, her Puma Creeper sneaker is completely sold out! Riri posted on IG “but how??? Thank you for your tremendous support!! There’s hardly a greater feeling than yall f***kin wit my s**t!!!” in a show of gratitude. Keep it up, Riri! (BET)
Beyoncé on Scandal?! In a recent Sirius XM Town Hall session on Friday, Kerry Washington shared the following: “It would be great to have somebody like Beyoncé on the show, because any time Beyoncé does anything, it makes the world stop, and I would just be happy.” We like how you’re thinking, Kerry Washington! (Entertainment Weekly)
Rihanna loves LaQuan Smith! The songstress was spied at the Rockin Rio concert in an Italian braided embroidered Cleopatra maxi dress from Smith’s Spring 2016 collection:
It is delectably sheer, so she wore a black bikini underneath. Her Fenty x Puma Creepers accented her look.
The dress was modeled in gold in LaQuan’s Spring 2016 collection.
She looks sexy! Of course a pump or sandals would’ve been better, but I certainly can’t knock Rih Rih for rocking her own brand!
