Posted on Feb 26, 2023

The trailblazers of the moment came together last night in honor of the annual 54th NAACP Image Awards and what a celebratory night filled with elaborate and eye candy looks.

Queen Latifah who hosted the event looked flawless and stunning in a maroon Tony Ward Couture gown that was voluminous with tulle. She also rocked a classic black and white Bibhu Mohapatra gown and accessorized with black gloves and diamonds that made us want to call her “your majesty.”

In addition to Queen Latifah, actress Yara Shahidi also arrived at the NAACP awards in a similar burgundy hue. The 23-year-old star, styled by Jason Bolden served us black barbie realness in a Giambattista Valli SS17 Couture gown with nude Louboutin pumps that reminded us of why we absolutely love the Grown-ish star. With such effortless beauty, she can practically pull anything off.

Speaking of beauty, the glamourous Zendaya evoked nostalgia with her SS02 Atelier Versace and SS93 Dior archive looks that rang true to the notion that it’s all about archival fashion right now. So many celebs are showcasing garments from designers past body of work, which feel quintessentially appropriate considering that the 90’s are back.

Along with Zendaya to turn heads, “Run the World,” star Bresha Webb shut it down and was one of the best dressed celebs of the evening. Styled by Reginald Reisman in a fierce fuchsia and black Harbison Studio gown, Bresha looked incredible and sensational as she stuck a pose. Her high-low dress had an elongated dramatic train and delivered that much more WOW-factor.

The cast of Abbott Elementary also was extremely impressive with their formal wear and all took different approaches. With such a successful award-winning year for the ‘Entertainer of the Year’ winner Quinta Brunson, it only felt right that she shined and dazzled in strapless silver and gold ombre embellished gown by Dundas that had a high slit and perfectly showed off her me silver metallic open toe heels.

Stylist Bryon Javar has literally made the 4ft 11in star look like a supermodel on the carpet with his choice of perfectly proportion and tailored ensembles. While winning an award, Brunson stated, “we are so grateful and blessed to have a wonderful award season but there is nothing like winning an NAACP award,” said Brunson.

In addition to Quinta Brunson, stars Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James also represented for Abbott Elementary at the NAACP awards. Ralph was intentional about her gown, choosing the wear a Ghanaian designer which felt appropriate. She slayed in a yellow multicolor Kente Pistis Ghana dress that felt reminiscent of the mother land, Africa. While comedian Janelle James chose to wear a black velvet Christian Siriano PF23 dress that very rich in texture and had silver sparkles and flowers embroidered throughout her gown

Other celebs like singer Janelle Monae and actress Tracee Ellis Ross wore maxi cutout gowns that delivered minimal yet modern elegance. Janelle looked so strikingly beautiful in a fiery red silk Cong Tri gown that looked exquisite and timeless on the Atlantic Records star. While, Tracee opted for simplicity with a Black Brandon Maxwell dress that had a diamond shape cutout at the bust and was styled with statement bangles.

As you can see, last night’s NAACP awards was a victorious night fill with change-makers in the room and the trendsetters on the carpet . With award ceremonies in full swing, celebs are reminding us that some styles are simply legendary.

Posted on Feb 22, 2023

Everywhere we look- we can’t help but see the “Mschf” Red Cartoonish boots and the latest celebs to join the “Astro Boy” boot bandwagon includes Lil Wayne, Emily B, Diplo and Coi Leray to name a few.

You know what they say when anything goes viral… “the price just up,” and that’s exactly what has happened with these big red boots that look like they came straight out of a Mario & Sonic video game. The original $350 price tag has quickly superseded to over $1,200 on reseller sites like StockX because they’ve become so high in demand after seeing them grace the feet of our favorite celebs on social media.

Lil Wayne aka Lil Tunechi is one of the latest rappers to wear the viral red boots on a video set with NLE Choppa. He paired them with a yellow and black striped Comme des Garcon shorts and a white Balenciaga button up shirt. He tied his look together with YSL sunglasses and his look reminded us of why he’s still a trendsetter in the hip-hop industry.

Some celebrities dressed the cartoonish boot down, like Fivio Foreign, who opted out for a black leather on leather outfit, or Stylist Emily B also paired her big cartoonish boots with red coated leggings and a graphic Whitney Houston T-shirt to bring in her Birthday. Emily’s Louis Vuitton clutch was the icing on the cake.

Especially courtside at basketball games where fashion looks are constantly being served.
When the oversize red boots first came out, we initially reported on Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as being one of the first to adopt the trend. However, more recently we’ve also spotted music producer Diplo and NFL star Xavier McKinney at a Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knick basketball game in the viral Mschf boots.

Diplo paired his red boots with a NY Knicks bomber jacket layered over a DMX graphic tee and accessorized with a Cocoatemyshoes necklace. While Xavier McKinney tapped into his Aztec era, with an Aztec cargo jacket and blue printed jeans. He added his twist to the trend by accessorizing with gold alien-like futuristic shades and diamond encrusted gold chains. Not to mention, artist Coi Leray who performed during a Brooklyn Nets halftime show wearing the bright Astro Boy boots. Coi kept it alluring with a black bodysuit layered over black leggings.

Metallics Reign Supreme at the 2023 BAFTAS: Cynthia Erivo in Gold Louis Vuitton Gown, Jodie Turner Smith in a Purple Gucci Dress, Naomi Ackie in Loewe, and More!

Rashidah Young

Posted on Feb 21, 2023

Marvelous and glorious, with awe-inspiring and celebratory looks on the red carpet, the 76th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA’s) held Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall in London, was nothing shy of the brightest and most fashionable celebs that cinema has to offer.

Of course, the biggest night for British Cinema didn’t come without Britain’s most heavy hitters. British actress and song singer Cynthia Erivo look phenomenal in a metallic copper Louis Vuitton dress with Tiffany & Co jewelry. It was impossible for Erivo to not turn heads in this edgy forward look with fringe details from the waist down. Erivo’s gown was outstanding, and she rocked it with confidence like British rising star, Naomi Ackie.

Ackie, most notable for her exceptional performance as Whitney Houston in “I Want to Dance with Somebody’ had every right to show-stop the red carpet in a white strapless gown styled with a metallic silver hardware peplum belt. She looked incredibly modern, and her futuristic belt took her look up a notch.

What would the BAFTA’s be if Hollywood royalty didn’t make a debut in the United Kingdom? Perhaps a missing puzzle piece. We saw leading ladies like Angela Bassett and Viola Davis stunned in lilac and amethyst hues, while promising stars like ‘Insecure,’ Yvonne Orji and West Side Story, Ariana Debose served us old Hollywood glamour.

It was evident to see all shades of purple fully realized on the red carpet. Nominated for Best Supporting actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Angela Bassett looked tried and true in her lavender custom high slit Pamella Roland gown with shoulder cutouts and voluminous bell sleeves. Her mauve metallic Le Silla platforms and Judith Leiber clutch were the perfect luminous accents.

‘The Woman King’ cast also represented at the BAFTAs in a delightful and contrasting way. Queen Viola Davis displayed regality in a royal-colored shimmery Stella McCartney gown while British actress, Lashana Lynch who played “Izogie” in the epic film, opted for a sky blue Fendi Haute Couture gown with ultra-long chiffon sleeves. She was gone with the wind fabulous and Lynch, who won the BAFTAs ‘Rising Star Award’ last year is undoubtedly making a household name for herself.

In addition to Davis and Lynch, British co-star Sheila Atim, served us high fashion in her metallic tin foil Prada dress with matching gloves. Her diamond statement necklace was all the merrier and if you haven’t noticed yet, It’s all about the gloves these days.

Taking a different direction, yet following this year’s favorable color code, Queen & Slim star, Jodie Turner-Smith arrived at the BAFTAs in a lavender and violet ombre feather and sequin dress by Gucci. She accessorized with a diamond azure floral choker necklace and got creative with her makeup. She had rhinestones meticulously place below her cat-eyes and her ensemble, feeling both luxurious and eccentric, could be captioned, “made you look.”

With Spring exactly a month away, Actress Danielle Deadwyler made quite the entrance in a indigo blue satin Armani Privé Spring ’23 dress that had a green striped sequence bodice and looked so rich against her skin tone. Not to mention her Bulgari Jewels that always look so perfect on her. Like Deadwyer, British TV and Radio presenter Vick Hopes also turned heads in a cobalt blue Kyha Studios sparkly gown with Bulgari Jewelry.

Ciara Makes the Viral Big Red ‘MSCHF’ Boots Look Effortlessly Chic

Rashidah Young

Posted on Feb 21, 2023

Supernormal and out of this world, the MSCHF “Astro Boy’ boots have broken the internet and the latest celeb to take part in this viral sensation is no other than Ciara, who looked effortlessly chic while promoting her new song, “For Da Girls.”

Created by Brooklyn art collective “MSCHF” (pronounced mischief), the cartoonish red boots ––that were released this month–– have made a major impact, selling out within minutes of the drop.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Ciara (@ciara)

According to the product description, “cartoonishness is an abstraction that frees us from the constraints of reality. If you kick someone in these boots, they go boing.”

We’ve seen these futuristic boots on celebs like Janelle Monae, Iggy Azalea, and Rich the Kid . Not to mention, influencers at New York Fashion Week who stole the show, and WWE star Seth Rollins who was seen stomping out his competition in the Big Red Boots.

However, unlike some celebrities who rocked the boot and looked like they were trying too hard to follow the latest trend, Grammy Award winning artist Ciara looked so fierce and bomb without looking overdone. CiCi was giving her personal style in a Black Michael Jackson thriller shirt with layered diamond neck candy and black shades.

She was giving what it was supposed to give as she affirmed herself through her new self love track about women’s Independence and empowerment. We could all benefit from taking notes on CiCi. She knows a thing or two about being independent and, in the voice of Lil Richard, she puts it on!

When these cartoonish boots initially came out, people had a lot to say, and made jokes about the boots because they didn’t know how to pull them off. However, Ciara showed us how to serve an effortless look without taking attention away from the boots (as if that’s even possible).

It’s been interesting to see the evolution of these cartoonish boots in such a short time and everyone has put their own twist on them. We can’t wait to see more celebs adopt the trendy boot into their wardrobe while living their best life, supersized.

Thom Browne Returns to NYFW with Futuristic and Innovative Silhouettes

Rashidah Young

Posted on Feb 17, 2023

Theatrical, inventive, and oozing modern sophistication and uniformity, Thom Browne reminded us why there’s no other designer like him at his latest NYFW Fall ‘23 show revealed inside a theater at Hudson Yards.

Browne, who also serves as the Chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, hasn’t presented during New York Fashion week since 2021. So, you can only imagine the anticipation leading up to his show. Star-studded celebs in attendance, included Erykah Badu, Lil X Nas, and Teyana Taylor.

Despite Browne’s absence from the runway, his latest collection, inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, certainly made up for it. Browne took attendees on an unexpected yet worthwhile journey from the part of the book where a plane crashes into a Sahara desert.

The circular runway, painted like a traditional clock and surrounded by a crashed plane, was thought-provoking and impressive. The concept of futurism transcended on the runway through avant-garde designs.

The first model to strut the catwalk, resembled a pioneering pilot who served us an innovative white off the shoulder jumpsuit look that had strikingly disk-shaped silhouettes and was layered over a blue and green fuzzy turtleneck. Contrary, was the prince in the book, who was a model that had wild golden locks and wore an oversized tweed grey blazer paired with a metallic turtleneck and an abstract midi skirt.

The restoration of ‘The Little Prince’ characters came to life on the runway as we saw a variety of models dressed as the special components of what makes a galaxy- the planets and stars. We saw several models in off-white long sleeve dresses that were painted with the attributes of the solar system in a variety of colors.

Various models sported Saturn shape up ‘dos to complement the aesthetic of the show. Manicures of long stiletto and spiral fingernails and toenails also spoke to the galactic theme.

In addition to the dynamic planetary garments, we also saw Browne’s signature use of plaid. From plaid-on-plaid suiting to oversize plaid and tweed coats with shoulder pads, we saw what makes Thom Brown a maximalist of our time in the most endearing way. Multiple layers of black, gray, and red multicolored plaid blazers came in various variations, paired over white oxford shirts and ties. Browne completed looks with plaid trousers, pleated skirts, and Bermuda shorts.

This season, his signature grouping of novelty handbags includes leather clocks and the iconic dog-shaped ‘Hector tote’ with gold hardware. His pointy platforms with metallic heels were the showstoppers of the moment and looked like they were especially made for Lady Gaga herself. Not to mention the crystal mesh face coverings that we’re precocious in every sense.

It’s evident that Thom Browne is an inspirational leader in the fashion industry who knows how to execute a meticulous vision with a selected technique.

The Blonds Close Out NYFW with High Glam Romance

The Fashion Bomb Staff

Posted on Feb 17, 2023

As New York Fashion Week came to a close, The Blonds had something to say. Presenting a Fall/Winter collection inspired by romantic icon, actress, and style star Elizabeth Taylor, The Blonds FW23 is colorful, dramatic, glistening, and grand.

Over-the-top camp is expected from the American brand, but this season the glam was set on high. The show opened with the Blonds founder Phillipe Blond in a big blonde wig, strutting down the runway in a black high neck long sleeve catsuit decorated with the brand’s name in a bedazzled font. Blond also wore a black maxi faux fur coat –designed by independent designer Adrienne Landau– which, even with its fullness, could not outdo the outsized jewels around his neck.

Phillipe set the tone for the show because what followed was even bigger hair, jewels, and looks. The big jewels speak to the Elizabeth Taylor influence, as the famed actress was a jewelry enthusiast. However, instead of keeping her spirit alive in a literal way, The Blonds creative directors, Philippe and David, used oversized jewels as more than just jewelry. Blown-up emeralds, canary diamonds, sapphires, rose, and rubies sit large on low-sitting skirts, the busts of mini dresses, and pasty detail on lamé jumpsuits..

The larger vision of the collection expands pasts Taylor’s lush love for all things fancy and looks at three famed films: Valley of the Dolls, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Butterfield 8.

Juxtaposed with Taylor’s grandiose glamor, this collection tells a story of what happens when we fall in and out of love and dream the longing dream of that perfect someone. Through crystal-encrusted necklines, color, sparkle, and eveningwear that are sure to get you noticed, David and Philippe introduce us to what they call “the Valley of the Blonds.’

This season, The Blonds woman is just as fearless and forthcoming as before, but at the heart of it, behind her diamond-tough exterior, she just wants pure, honest love like the rest of us.

Fun party-ready fabrics like sequins and velvet take hold of this collection with the occasional faux fur. This Blonds woman may be lovesick, but she’s nothing if not still sexy. Plunging necklines, high-leg slits, and breathtaking corsets round out this collection, and velvet bows are a common detail because, well, she is a doll after all.

Love Shack Fancy ‘Rebel Rose’ collection is a Dreamlike Fairytale

Rashidah Young

Posted on Feb 16, 2023

Fairies officially came to life in a magical and enchanting way on Valentine’s days at Love Shack Fancy’s mesmerizing runway show held at the Plaza hotel.

Owner and Creative Director, Rebecca Hessel Cohen, who originally curated her fashion and lifestyle brand back in 2012, debuted a whimsical line of effortless beauty and romanticism entitled the “Rebel Rose.”

Her collection created “for the romantics at heart,” takes you on an extravagant yet dreamlike fairytale with artfully arranged looks consisting of elaborately ornamented dresses with intricate details, soft pastel hues and of course, her traditional use of orchard floral prints.

It’s evident to see that the Love Shack Fancy brand speaks its own love language. Cohen, who freshly picked delicate fabrics from Paris, included everything from silk chiffons to lace and tulle- the perfect compliments of luxurious party dresses and bridal gowns. She also recently gained international appeal by opening a store in London, so you find hints of inspiration from the British.

As NYFW models pranced down the runway in a wide assortment of styles in various shades of pinks including an over-the-top rosé-colored tulle gown with a crystal embellished bodice that was styled with an a black crop top biker jacket. In addition, she also showcased a silver metallic ruffle halter dress that moved into the realm of fantasy and a millennial pink satin suit that was to die for.

Our ultra-stylish CEO, Claire Sulmer’s who attended the NYFW show was also spotted rocking Love Shack Fancy and chose to rock a blushing rose hue long sleeve mini dress that had silver embellished buttons and was layered with a fur peak coat and patent leather thigh high boots.

It was also great to also see Cohen’s use of accessories as she practically added ritualistic bows and fuchsia, gold and black open toe platforms to every ensemble. We saw bold bows on everything from miniskirts, nude flower silk midi dresses and even saw bows in models’ hair.

Rebecca Cohen’s Love Shack Fancy runway show ultimately resembled a modern day Clueless with several frilly moments that were visually stimulating. Love Shack Fancy NYFW show was so rich in details that Cohen’s garments make for a fabulous adventure no matter the quest.
