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.
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:
Happy Tuesday, folks!
So, if you haven’t noticed, the site has been down pretty much all day, putting me in a serious funk! The lowdown is that we were experiencing some issues, so decided to start from scratch…which meant a lot of features were missing all morning. The bigger story is that we are definitely going to be doing a redesign this summer that will hopefully make everyone happy (including me!). Stay tuned. Until then, today’s Bombshell is Sim from Baltimore, Maryland:
She writes, “I have passionately loved fashion at a tender age from playing dress up with barbie dolls.”
” Well the plus size barbie has grown up, and I am inspired by literally everything.”
” My favorite past time includes looking at vintage Vogue covers and researching the fashion that were used for the cover.”
” Although I am a curvy gal, I do not let that stop me from being a free spirit when it comes to my fashion choices.”
“Plus size fashion can be limited, but with a creative mind and a high heel what can go wrong?”
“My favorite stores to shop include ASOS, Forever 21, Zara, & H&M.”
” I describe my style as feminine & trendy with a vintage flair usually with my accessories.”
” I love prints and bold colors and mixing the two in my style.”
” My style crushes include Solange, Tracee Ellis Ross and Sarah Jessica Parker, I reference their style in my personal style but I love making it my own.”
“I have included some pictures of my style and hope to be featured ,for additional images you can visit my Instagram profile @Eyezforstyle.”
You definitely have a fashionable flair! Love that floral blazer and jean combo.

Denim on denim is hot for the summertime, and lord knows I love a good romper!
Therefore, I’m seriously considering copping this $58 Chambray option from Nasty Gal:
The one piece features an acid wash, flap pockets at the chest, button tabs, a drawstring waistband, and hip pockets.
This is pretty perfect for any summer outing!
