Her multicolor cotton jersey shirt features an allover paint print pattern and a black banded collar.
Her black pencil skirt showcases darts at the waist, a pink floral print, and a straight hem.
Last, but not least are her glamorous pumps which are crafted from gold leather and glitter-finished fishnet fused onto sheer mesh. They feature a pointed-toe silhouette and sky-high 5″ heels.
Complex Magazine has a flick of what is reported to be Kanye West’s newest creation for Adidas. An anonymous, craftly shutterfly captured the Yeezi’s on board a flight and sent it their way. It seems the shoes are reflective of Kanye’s signature footwear with a tan upper, a futuristic sole, and laces. Would you wear ’em? (Complex)
Anna Wintour with Andre Leon Talley ca. 1990
The British Fashion Council will honor Anna Wintour for Outstanding Achievement at the British Fashion Awards this year. Designers like Sarah Burton, Christopher Bailey, and even Christopher Kane all spoke out in favor of the honor, remarking on her role as what amounts to being an ambassador for the entire fashion industry. BFC Chairman and Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet called the editor “one of Britain’s most successful exports.” (The Guardian)
Style.com and Vogue might be joining in a major way. If you remember, years ago Style.com really was just an online repository for Vogue, W and the menswear publications at Conde Nast. That changed when Anna Wintour established Vogue’s standalone website and Style.com moved under Fairchild. Well, Anna has taken the recent Penske purchase of Fairchild as a chance to assert some control over Style.com, and has met with their EIC recently. (WWD)
Kathy Griffin was offered a job at E!’s Fashion Police after the untimely passing of Joan Rivers. The comedienne admitted in a recent interview that she was offered the position but said “I don’t know if the situation is correct at this time for me or right for me at this time.” And so the search continues.

The next line-up of the BFC’s Fashion Trust is out. Mary Katrantzou, House of Holland, Richard Nicoll, Todd Lynn, Zoe Jordan, Michael van der Ham, Osman and Emilia Wickstead are the chosen few. Brands will receive a financial post as well as mentoring support. (Vogue UK)
In case you were looking forward to watching prices on your favorite Michael Kors bag tumble into oblivion during holiday season, you’ve got another thing coming. The company will not do any holiday discounts in an effort to establish a stake in the luxury sphere. “We’re competing globally agains the best of the best,” CEO John Idol said. “That’s Vuitton, that’s Prada, that’s Gucci. That’s the level of companies that we really believe we are competing with.” All we can honestly say is: bonne chance. (Business Week)
Their approach to styling was markedly different, with Draya going for an updo and booties, and Khloe opting for loose waves and Balmain rope sandals.
The now sold out frock has a deep v and a cinched waist.
Both ladies have fabulous bodies for bodycon dresses, so I’d call it a draw: they both look hot!
What do you think?
November is in full swing — I’m so happy that the holidays are upon us!
This week, celebrities went glam at high-fashion events and galas across the pond where they got to strut their stuff in expertly-tailored suiting, showstopping gowns, and printed frocks.
Let’s see what they wore!
Zoe Kravitz was suited up at the Guggenheim International Gaga Pre-Party in a Dior Spring 2015 white and navy jacquard cotton pairing. Hot!
At the Seriousfun Gala in London, Melanie Brown kept it simple and chic in a strapless black gown with a sultry thigh-high slit. I’m loving this new bob!
Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez went bold at the People’s Choice Awards 2015 Nominations Press Conference in a strapless printed and pleated frock. She’s so cute.
Olivia Munn wore a full skirted embroidered number from Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2015 wares at the Season 3 Premiere of her hit TV show The Newsroom. Don’t you just love her style?
Jamie Chung hopped on the star trend at the Big Hero 6 Hollywood Premiere in a $1,085 Diane von Furstenberg Silk Blend Chiffon Wrap Gown. I live for her style and anything DVF, thus this was a sartorial match made in heaven!
At the Annie for Target Launch Event, Camila Alves kept it simple and chic in a $533 Camilla and Marc Opponent Jumpsuit. In case you had doubts that she’s one of the most beautiful women in the world…
Jennifer Connelly is a Ghesquière devotee, thus she sported a sequin LBD and metallic monogram booties from Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2015 offerings at the WSJ Innovator of the Year Awards. I wasn’t too keen on the shoes, but she’s stunning regardless.
Also in attendance at the awards was Queen Mother Madonna in a head-to-toe Miu Miu Spring 2015 getup.
At the 48th Annual CMA Awards, supermodel Lily Aldridge skewed sultry in a black long-sleeve silk and tulle cady gown from Calvin Klein Collection. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Nashville star Chaley Rose flaunted her amazing curls and enviable physique in a Johnathan Kayne metallic damask pattern gown with sequin and Swarovski embellishment. Hot!
Happy Thursday!
So The Fashion Bomb doesn’t have an App (yet!), but in the meantime, I’ve taken on the role as Creative Director of RNWY, an APP that seeks to put global fashion in the palm of your hand.

Well, last week’s Bomb Blogger was received with mixed reviews. I was actually shocked at some of the comments but I soon realized that my take on “bomb style” may not necessarily correlate with some of our readers; however, (as you all may know) I’m always up for blogger suggestions and recommendations!
With that said, I’d like to personally thank Gem who suggested I check out this fly twosome! Gem also wrote “You should take a gander at this blog. Its two South African twins, Nyane and Mpho“. So, without further ado, let’s get into the sartorial musings of the Lebajoa twins. **FYI: If you’re wondering which one is which, Nyane is the twin with the lighter tinted hair (she also rocks the pixie look) and Mpho is the sister with the darker shade. Just had to give you guys a quick heads up!**
When I first set sight on this inseparable pair, I was shocked at the contrast in both their styles – it’s like you get the best of both worlds! Let’s start things off with Mpho! Obviously the more subtle of the sisters, this fashionista has mastered the minimal look. Her M.O. includes neutral colors, wide-brimmed hats, a bold lips and eclectic platforms. I absolutely love the way she effortlessly pulls off simple looks while presenting such a cool and refreshing vibe. I can really appreciate her style, as the designer within the duo, Mpho certainly knows what she likes and kills it everytime!
Nyane, on the other hand, prefers to spice things up a bit. From stacking on loads of jewelry to switching up her creative ‘dos, she embodies an undeniable sense of self and can literally wear anything; in addition, her tastes border more along the lines of funky and experimental. This Lebajoa twin loves in-your-face-prints, bright colors and midriff-baring crop tops. As an aspiring artist, Nyane has garnered quite the following but her style leaves room for boundless inspiration. I absolutely adore this girl’s confidence! Cute, no?
Wanna know more about this gorgeous duo? Well, head on over to their Tumblr here or visit their IG pages @nyanelebajoa and @mpholebajoa. Honestly, I don’t believe this feature did them justice – both their blog and their Instagrams are FILLED with astonishing photos – definitely check them out!
Covergirl Joan Smalls attended WSJ Magazine’s Innovator of the Year Awards last night in a cool hued ensemble from Chanel‘s Spring 2014 Haute Couture collection:
Sassy Nicholas Kirkwood lace ups provided a scintillating focal point.
Her ensemble was modeled by Lindsey Wixson with white sporty shoes.
Her sandal boots were apart of Kirkwood’s Resort 2015 collection.
Hot! She looks lean and lovely. And those shoes are the biz.
What do you think?
