Ciara and Polo Ralph Lauren are a match made in fashion heaven! The stylish star took to the brand’s Spring 2016 Fashion Show in a $1,995 Shearling Bomber Jacket and $1,100 Vicky Suede Booties:
Her shearling bomber jacket features a snap-down spread collar, two leather buckled throat tabs, a full-zip front, long sleeves with zip cuff vents, two front waist patch pockets, and buckled tabs at the side of the hem.
Her suede booties showcase sky-high 5 1/2″ heels, a lace-up front, and treaded rubber lug outsoles.
Definitely way too hot for this weather, but a cute Fall look for sure. Tinashe also looked great in lace-up pants.

Ashley Madekwe is always a staple at Cushnie et Ochs’s fashion shows, thus it was no surprise to see her front row at the Spring 2016 runway presentation. Naturally, she wore pieces from the brand: a Resort 2016 Ruffle Polka Dot Crop Top and High Waist Ruffle Polka Dot Skirt:
I would wager that Givenchy’s Spring 2016 RTW Collection was one of the most highly anticipated collections to show this season in New York. Not simply because of Riccardo Tisci’s masterful injection of cool to this historic French brand for the past 10 years or its claim to fame for having some of the biggest celebrity fans (including the Kardashian-West clan, Ciara, and Jennifer Hudson to name a few), although these facts certainly matter! More importantly, this was the season when fashion was truly brought to the fans, with a democratized giveaway of invitations to the brand’s first show in New York. Now if that doesn’t indicate that times are changing, I’m not sure quite what else does.
The term sexy would be an understatement to describe the combination of lingerie-esque pieces Tisci and his design team crafted for this inaugural New York bout. The opening looks were camisoles and blouses of super-intricate lace and silk blends paired with what looked to be a heavier tuxedo-style pant with trailing silk ties. One of my favorite models, Lineisy Montero, donned the first all-black look that looked like it was ready for the bedroom or perhaps the boardroom if styled with the appropriate blazer.
Follow-on dresses borrowed from the boudoir, but nothing felt overly risqué. Paired with the right accessories and cover-ups where necessary, these night-time pieces become cocktail dresses for an edgy art exhibit, Met Gala after-party ensembles, or in the case of one look, a daring take on an engagement party gown.
The inclusion of male models in womenswear shows seems like a trend that won’t stop and to be honest, it works from a storytelling perspective. The men were dressed quite simply in all-black or all-white suiting and appeared in unison with their female counterparts; some even wore sheer dress shirts with lace detailing.
Towards the latter half of the show, Tisci showed dramatic headpieces, studded piercings, and more sculptural designs that certainly appeared more haute couture than ready-to-wear. I’m pretty sure Bey has already earmarked a few of those gowns to be transformed into one-piece leotards soon enough.
Overall, the collection showed tremendous stretch from a technical perspective and it took the audience on a journey celebrating the sheer beauty of woman in all of her vulnerability and strength, a touching tribute in light of 9/11. For me and for the 820+ fans who witnessed live in-person, Tisci certainly has become the people’s choice.
Demi Lovato went bold while making an appearance at Kiss FM Studios. For her promo day out, she wore a Moschino Pre-Fall 2015 Mint Skirt Suit and $695 Christian Louboutin Iriza Pumps:
Her suit was paired with a logo clutch and logo pumps in the same mint hue in the brand’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection.
Her classic half d’Orsay pumps boast cutout vamps, an allover colorful texture, and functional 3.9″ heels.
Givenchy’s Spring 2016 show ushered in a lot of firsts: the first time the brand showed in New York City, and also the first time they opened their doors to the public.
As we reported here, the brand offered 820 free tickets to their collection, which opened the doors to fashion students, enthusiasts, and fans.
