Kate Bosworth posed for Instagram before heading into the The Art of More Panel Discussion during the 2015 Summer TCA Tour. For the occasion, she wore a Balmain Resort 2016 Suede Lace Up Dress:
Her dress was paired with sultry ribbon strap sandals in the brand’s Resort 2016 collection.
Hot! Another flawless look for the actress.
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
Happy Thursday!
So I’m at home nursing a sad eye infection (story of my life), but not after having a pretty eventful day yesterday, starting with a preview of Zendaya’s new shoe line, Daya, and ending with cocktail party celebrating Bally’s collaboration with J.Cole!
So, yes! You read that correctly. Zendaya has teamed up with her longtime stylist Law Roach to create a line of chic, affordable heels! Pierre and I popped by their showroom to take a look at what we can expect come Spring 2016, and ask a few questions about the collection.
Why Shoes? Zendaya says, “The obsession is real! And Law is the reason for that. We’re both obsessed with shoes. I’ve built my own shoe collection. And it’s the perfect baby step into the fashion industry. Not in front of, but behind the scenes.”
Law added, “No matter how old you are, no matter what size you are, shoes are always a way to make a woman feel good. We just want to see girls happy. We want girls to get something they can afford and they can love. People always say, ‘It’s affordable, but the quality is [not so good].’ We always wanted to make sure that we focused on both and have a great aesthetic but also have something that is comfortable, affordable, and is gonna last.”
Zendaya expounded, “I don’t want girls to feel like they’re getting the knock off or getting the look for less. They’re getting the look. It just doesn’t cost as much.” Law said, “We wanted to create something that wasn’t a knock, but was still affordable.”
So what’s the price point? Zendaya says, “$125-$175. Price is so important. I’m not making a shoe that’s anything more than $200. I don’t even want to touch $200. $200 is as crazy as I want to get!” Law offered, “We wanted to give something tangible to everybody that’s been so supportive and shown us so much love. That’s why the price point is so important. Because everyone can’t buy a $1,000 shoe!” I know that’s right!
Aside from shoe design, what’s next for lady Z? She says, “Music is such a thing for me. I’m 18 years old and I started doing music at 16. I’ve learned so much about myself as an artist and as a person. There are so many more things for me to explore. I’ve become so much stronger in my personal vision. There’s noone that can tell me what to do at this point, especially when it comes to my music. I’m not gonna settle and I’m not gonna say it’s ok. You have to do what you believe, and you have to be confident in your vision. This time around there’s no exceptions. Everything’s gotta be dope. Everything’s gotta be amazing. Everything has to be exactly as I want it to be.” Tell em!
Afterwards Zendaya headed to her next appointment. She looked flaw free in a Solace London Divine jumpsuit in black:
Hot!
As for me, I sashayed downtown for a cocktail party celebrating Bally’s latest collection with J. Cole.
The historic house joined forces with the lyrical powerhouse to create an exclusive pair of hiking boots and a backpack, earmarked for the ‘Urban Explorer.’
Party attendees were treated to a short film about the collab, titled Off the Grid. Shot in Jamaica, it documents Cole disconnecting from technology and connecting with his surroundings.
I grabbed a picture with J. Cole, who admitted that he wasn’t very active on Social Media. He’s been putting loads of energy into new music. Can’t wait to hear!
And before ending the night, I also grabbed a pic with designer Rachel Roy. She was wearing pants of her design and a ruffled off shoulder shirt by Moda Zeta. Random, but you can see Joy Bryant in the background (just noticed that).
As for me, I went for ease in a Haider Ackermann Myrisiticin top and Frame Denim flared jeans.
My hairstylist is out of town until the 10th and I’ve been splashing around in the ocean. So I wore a Borsalino hat.
I plan to get very creative with head gear all this weekend, provided my eye clears up!
At any rate, learn more about the Bally x J. Cole collab at ShopBally.com.
Stay tuned to this space for updates on Zendaya’s shoe line. Also follow the brand on Instagram @SoleofDaya.

The first week of August is already done— this Summer is flying by!
Celebs flocked to Crop Over in Barbados, jetsetted through the world’s biggest airports, glammed it up at the 2015 Summer TCA Tour, and more.
Let’s see what they wore!
Rihanna had all eyes on her in feathers and embellishment at Crop Over. Hot!
You know Rih’s BFF Melyssa Ford was also in attendance in a similar costume in shades of orange and yellow.
Supermodel Jourdan Dunn showed off her lithe physique in a look that was pared-down, but didn’t skimp on skin. She looks like she’s having the time of her life!
Pregnancy isn’t slowing Kim Kardashian down one bit! She was spied at LAX in a cropped leather jacket, bralette, and high-waist pencil skirt.
Cara Santana showed off her toned gams in LA in a pair of denim cutoffs, a short-sleeve black t-shirt, and a pair of black mules. A great Summer look!
While at the David Jones Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Launch in Sydney, Gigi Hadid looked every bit the model in a long-sleeve embellished Marciano dress with a plunging neckline.
Jessica Gomes was also at the event, giving her black and white pleated dress with a thigh-high slit a pop of color with red t-strap pumps. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Bangs, drop earrings, and black strappy sandals gave a bit of flair to Halle Berry’s LBD as she was grabbing a bite to eat at West Hollywood hotspot, Craig’s Restaurant.
It was all about stripes for Jamie Chung in Sherman Oaks, where she sported a short-sleeve top, trousers, and a Henri Bendel Jetsetter Backpack while walking her dog. The perfect example of why I live for her style.
Kourtney Kardashian kept it cute and casual with son Mason in a graphic t-shirt, cutoffs, and suede boots.
Little sister Kylie was spotted in Calabasas in all-gray.
A sheer stripe crop sweater, boyfriend jeans, and simple slide sandals were Leona Lewis’s choices while in NYC.
Priyanka Chopra was pretty in pink at the Quantico Panel during the 2015 Summer TCA Tour in a Victoria Beckham dress in the hue and a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps. Hot!
An appearance on Good Morning America was the perfect venue for Salma Hayek’s modern take on florals, anchored with a pair of Gucci sandals.
Who had your favorite look this week?
One thing you can always count on from Rihanna every summer: a trip to Barbados and sick swimwear.
She grabbed a drink for a day in the sun in a Karijini Deep V Orange Reversible One Piece by Gypsea Swimwear:
See it in motion here:
Her swimsuit features orange and yellow tones and a slashed front.
Rih’s swimsuit isn’t available as yet, but you can peruse other styles by Gysea here. Gotta admit, there’s some cute stuff!

So last night, I met J. Cole at a Bally event (post coming soon).
The young lyricist spits conscious content that crosses over age and color lines. Served Fresh’s Last of the Mohican’s t-shirt shines a light on him, and on his contemporary Kendrick Lamar.
On the site, they say, “In an era where thought provoking lyrical content across ALL genre’s of music comes few and far between, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole have become the socially conscious voices of not only hip hop culture but our generation. This piece titled, ‘Last of the Mohicans’ pays homage to their extroadinary artistic expression.”
The $37.50 tee features the brand’s NEW Barcode logo design and reinforced double-stitched collar construction!
If you love Cole and Kendrick, purchase here.
Would you wear it?
Stay tuned for a recap of yesterday’s events!
Priyanka Chopra went bold at the Disney ABC 2015 Summer TCA Tour in a $1,495 Cushnie et Ochs Plunging High Slit Cady Dress:
Her stretch cady dress features a plunging neckline, sleeveless silhouette, racerback, drop-waist seam, a straight skirt with a thigh-high front slit, and a straight hem.
Hot!
Priyanka’s dress is available here.
