Sarah Jessica Parker is a big patron of the arts, thus she stepped out for Hamilton’s Broadway Opening Night in an Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture Forest Green Embellished Gown:
It’s Summer, so Sarah Jessica left the fur at home, as well as the runway look’s belt.
SJP does it again. Hot!
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
We’re ending out this week with Owy from Accra, Ghana:
She was submitted by her sister, who says, “I am submitting pictures on behalf of my sister who I see as a fashion icon.”
“Her name is Owy and she’s a business woman who runs a boutique in Accra, Ghana called Kayzoe.”
“She’s a mother of two beautiful girls 4 & 2yrs. and it amazes me how she’s able to run a business and the home front and still stay stylish.”
” I would describe her style as Fierce…”
” Classy..”
” Fun…”
” Effortless…”
“And sophisticated…”
” She throws in some fab pieces to make any outfit pop, and wears loads of African pieces to showcase where she’s from, NIGERIA.”
“Will love if you consider her as a Fashion Bombshell.”
Hot! I love her style. She’s a Bombshell!

We all know that the 70’s era has inspired a plethora of fall must-haves – from sophisticated suede to the resurfacing of the glorious bell-bottom – it’s clear that this stylish period has made quite the splash on and off the runways.
But, there is one trend that leaves me both inspired yet unsure – the patchwork craze. It’s reappeared time and time again in Fall 2015 collections and street style stars have even caught wind.
So, let’s take a closer look!
About a week ago, the lovely Shiona Turini took to Instagram (in a Throwback Thursday flick) showcasing an eye-popping Junya Watanabe patched design. It was interesting to see a modern take on the vintage staple!
Model Caroline Trentini rocked a bold Chloé poncho and matching midi skirt in the brand’s Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear presentation.
And, how can we forget Katy Perry’s Moschino patched denim wonder?!
Taraji P. Henson was styled in the same Fall 2015 jacket for the Season 2 of Empire. Fierce!
Emely Montero looked absolutely stunning in a jewel-toned dress by Prada.
ASOS even tried their hand at patchwork with this fly skirt! Although it’s not as conventional as the Chloé example, it’s a more contemporary version. Sidenote: How amazing is this color scheme?
Gucci stayed ahead of the curve as their Spring 2015 collection housed flowy silhouettes, loads of orange and intricate floral patchwork.
Tom Ford accented his Fall 2015 runway denim with patched knee-high boots and that showstopping statement coat. Go Binx!
I’ve even spotted a decent amount of patched trousers on the market.
And, to round things out, we have another sartorial gem from Burberry Prorsum’s Fall 2015 collection. Model Ysaunny Brito uplifts numerous autumn trends including floral patchwork, over-the-knee boots, a fringe bag and a pom-pom bracelet.
Whew! I’m still in the air over this one, ya’ll!
Be real. What do you think?
Signing Out — Esmesha
Last night saw a hot party, thrown by Fox/FX, to celebrate the 2015 TCA Summer Tour.
A handful of Fashion Bomb celebs made an appearance!
Take a look at what they wore:
Keke Palmer blew kisses to the kids in a metallic green ribbed Self Portrait crop top and ribbed knit midi skirt.
Taraji P Henson simmered in a deep plunge black Cushnie et Ochs flap edge dress, an Edie Parker clutch, and Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals.
It was also about the deep plunge for Meagan Good, who skewed sultry in red.
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Paula Abdul! The former American Idol judge paired a sheer printed blouse with black pants.
Lastly, nude Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps added a subtle touch to Christina Milian’s floral Vatanika frock.
That does it!
Who had your favorite look of the night?

We have a dapper man for today’s Bomber feature! Check out Bryce from Lumberton, New Jersey:
He types, “When it comes to my style, I would like to refer to it as “Retro-Refined.””
” Retro in a sense that my style is influenced by the iconic, cinematic legends of our past.”
” For example, James Dean embodies true masculinity and he is one of my biggest style inspirations.”
“In addition, my style was “refined” by the positive male role models in my life.”
” Each encounter provided nuggets of wisdom that exposed me to the presentation of a distinguished gentlemen.”
“Together, these style elements represent Bryce Lennon.”
” While maintaining a strong balance between individuality and maturity, I still manage to give homage to older time periods through iconic statement pieces.”
Yassss! I love it! I think you described your style perfectly. You’re a Bomber!
