It was mother-daughter night for Kylie and Kris Jenner who were spotted at The Gallows Hollywood Premiere. Kylie thew on a $1,025 KLS by Kimora Lee Simmons Fall 2015 White Sophia Coat for the occasion:
Her waffle-weave cotton coat is lightweight, minimalist, features contrast piping, a v-neck, slash pockets, and vented panels at the front and back.
Hot! Also loving Kris’s Balmain dress.
If you’re up for the splurge, get Kylie’s coat here.

Nykhor Paul is tired of white makeup artists not getting it right when it comes to darker skintones.
On a recent Instagram post, she wrote, “Dear white people in the fashion world! Please don’t take this the wrong way but it’s time you people get your $hit right when it comes to our complexion! Why do I have to bring my own makeup to a professional show when all the other white girls don’t have to do anything but show up wtf! Don’t try to make me feel bad because I am blue black! It’s 2015, go to Mac, Bobbi Brown, Makeup forever, Iman cosmetic, black opal, even Lancôme and Clinique carried them plus so much more.”
She continues, “… There’s so much options [out] there for dark skin tones today. A good makeup artist would come [prepared] and do [their] research before coming to work because often time you know what to expect especially at a show! Stop apologizing it’s insulting and disrespectful to me and my race it doesn’t help, seriously! Make an effort at least! That goes for NYC, London, Milan, Paris and Cape Town plus everywhere else that have issues with black skin tones.”
” Just because you only book a few of us doesn’t mean you have the right to make us look ratchet. I’m tired of complaining about not getting booked as a black model and I’m definitely super tired of apologizing for my blackness!!!! Fashion is art, art is never racist it should be inclusive of all not only white people, shit we started fashion in Africa and you modernize and copy it! Why can’t we be part of fashion fully and equally?”
Well, shots fired! I also wonder: when will the fashion world get it? When will the catwalks and front rows stop being so exceedingly white washed?
I certainly sympathize with her plight. Makeup artists (and hairstylists) should know how to do a whole range of skin tones and hair styles. It’s sad that this continues to be an issue in fashion and worldwide.

Lupita Nyong’o isn’t done with couture yet! The star turned up in the entourage of Anna Wintour this morning at the Martin Margiela’s Fall 2015 Artisinal (that’s just their version of couture) showing. For the occasion, the actress wore a Martin Margiela Resort 2015 black dress with capped sleeves and a sheer chest panel.
The 12 Years a Slave actress’ dress comes with the hem cut higher than it did in the resort lookbook. Her version hits not far below the knee which comes off both demure and appealing while the original flounced around the bottom of the calves, skewing slightly bohemian.
Black Dior ‘So Real’ shades make an appearance as did a strappy heel with a chunky platform.
We’re loving the look!
What do you think? Are you a fan?
Jessica Alba celebrated at the Tory Burch Paris Flagship Store Opening After Party in a Fall 2015 Long Sleeve Embroidered Dress and $325 Jones Sandals from the brand:
On the runway, her frock was paired with a fringe-accented belt, chunky socks, and mule sandals.
Her sandals feature 4″ stacked lacquered heels, metal buckle closures, and leather straps.
This is a perfect Fall look, though it’s making me a bit sad as I’m far from ready for Summer to be over.
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
My Essence recaps are not over–oh no!
Well this is the last one;) On the last day of Essence Fest, I participated on a panel for Verizon alongside stylist Wouri Vice, DJ Kiss, and Harlem’s Fashion Row’s Brandice Henderson:
Our role? Lend our thoughts on Essence Festival style, then offer a Verizon gift card to one lucky winner in the audience.
It was fun and a fabulous end to my whirlwind trip down to NOLA (it also reminded me of my twirls on 106 & Park. Ah, those were the days).
For the occasion, I wore a 3.1 Phillip Lim Shirtdress.
I went for Spring’s monochrome trend with blue Jimmy Choo heels and a Carbon Showroom clutch.
My co-hosts were festive in prints! Brandice looked lovely in a Reuben Reuel dress while Kiss sported a vintage Gucci frock. Wouri went for toned down in white and black.

Olivia Palermo partied at the M.A.C. Cosmetics & Giambattista Valli Floral Obsession Ball in the same Christian Dior Spring 2015 White Wrap Skirt Kim Kardashian originally wore back in May:
Olivia chose a black silky blouse, gold metallic clutch, and leopard-accented sandals, while Kim wore the skirt with the fashion house’s lace bodysuit and a pair of Céline sandals.
On the runway, the skirt was paired with a sheer long-sleeve lace top, a colorful printed shoulder bag, and a pair of boots.
Both looks give such different vibes that it’s hard to decide!
What do you think? Who wore it better?
Jennifer Lopez was spied shopping in the Hamptons in a $398 Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Printed Maxi Dress:
She accessorized with rosy colored sunglasses and a $995 Barbara Bonner Fringe Crossbody bag:
Her dress, rendered in breezy, silk chiffon has halter-esque leather straps that wrap around the bodice for a bit of western inspiration.
Her bag has leather fringe and a braided strap.
Recreate her look here:
Kim Kardashian is not letting pregnancy stop her sexy, oh no!
She was spied in Van Nuys, California in a $328 Ronny Kobo Thiadora Mock Neck Midi Dress:
Simple sandals completed her look.
Her dress comes in black and white, and is fashioned out of rayon, nylon, and lycra.
This is definitely cute! Purchase at Singer22.com.

Jessica Alba looked hot at Giambattista Valli’s Fall 2015 Couture Fashion Show in a printed mini dress from the brand’s Resort 2016 collection:
She finished her look with thigh high boots. An interesting choice for the summertime!
The dress was modeled with matching pants and bejeweled heels.
I love everything about this. New York Fashion Week outfit, anyone?
