While lady Bey kept it simple with leather shorts and black booties, Rih added a Trapstar beanie, fur lined vest, and that coveted $9,500 Chanel Perfume Bottle Shaped Purse.
The hooded sweatshirt features the BGC Script logo on the front.
Bey’s look is cute and the ‘fit I personally prefer here. But to be honest, I can’t help swooning like crazy over Rih’s purse. I’m jealous, y’all! 🙁
What do you think? Who wore it better?
Rihanna later hit up a Brooklyn Nets game with her friend Cara Delevingne.
We’re continuing our Bombshells for 2014 with Kimbriel from Memphis, Tennessee:
She says, “I love fashion, simply because it expresses who you are as an individual.”
“There is no right or wrong to me, because it is who you are =)”
“I like to switch it up…”
“…it’s all according to how I’m feeling that particular day!”
“I would love to represent Fashion Bombshell for the day, kicking my new year off right!!!! =)”
Very cute! I like.

Happy New Year, Bombers and Bombshells!
I rang in 2014 16 hours ahead of all of you in Australia, with an onslaught of fireworks, tequila, and revelry.
Before all the merriment, I took a moment to shoot one of my looks with Lisa Pires of Love Note Photography, and bet on a bit of a different look, comprised of a Christopher Kane striped tee, Helmut Lang Draped Asymmetrical Skirt, and my Altuzarra booties, worn with socks.
This year’s fashion resolutions are short, but simple: to share even more moments of my life with you, and also continue to push myself outside of my comfort zone. Try different things, and see how they rock…be a little bold and daring!
Moreso than style, my main goals are to make this blog a more soulful place. I’ll admit, for a moment last year I lost sight of the vision I originally had for this site, and allowed it to kind of run on autopilot. For 2014, I want to revisit our fabulous Breaking into Fashion interviews, seek out more and more undiscovered talent, and share style from a global perspective.
To that end, I’d definitely love to travel even more. And hone my interview and on camera skills for the future of Fashion Bomb TV!
At any rate, that’s what I hope for for 2014. What about you?
She says, ” I was featured as a bombshell almost 3 yrs ago. Since so much has changed, including my hair, I thought I’d showcase my current style showing how both myself and my style have evolved.”
” The last time I was featured I had NOOOOO idea how to describe my style. I was so nervous and literally just picked a show I liked and named my style off of it (I know..I know..) so off and wrong LOL!”
” These days I still have a hard time describing my style, and unlike so many other young ladies I don’t dress myself depending on my mood, considering I’m a working mom and wife, if I dressed myself by my mood I would look tired everyday, very serious : )”
” Because I’m in the over 30 and fabulous club, I live by dressing appropriately for where I’m going and who I am with, especially being a mom on the go.”
” Not very cute to show up to my kids school in high waisted spandex and a crop top LOL! Everything for the most part needs to have the 3 C’s, Cute, Comfy, and Classy.”
” But, of course if I’m out on the town with my husband I will sex it up a bit (gotta show em “why” he put a ring on it.)”
” As of 2011 I started a blog called “FabMom, FlyWife” (www.fabmomflywife.com) for fashionably connected moms, wives and every woman in between. Its for moms like myself that are interested in fashion but, also features tons of things ranging from fun mommy and me time activities, DIY ideas for yourself and your children, healthy quick fix meals, date night ideas, how to keep it spicy after baby comes and of course style inspirations for whatever your occasion.”
” I’ve been with my husband 12yrs, married 7, and my twin girls are 5 yrs old now. Now, I don’t claim to be a know it all by far on being married or being a mom, but I do have a few tricks up my sleeve to share LOL!”
” Like most mothers and wives out there, I’m more than just my titles of mother and wife but, nothing comes before them and I take pride in that. It’s not a glamorous life and some days are harder than most, but I do feel as if at least I can try to look my best doing it, right?”
” I hope you take my looks into consideration and thanks for you time. Peace and many blessings to you. I’m still a daily fan : ) “
I love it! What a beautiful family! Just for reference, check out the first picture Nashea sent in of her daughters and husband:
Gorgeous.
I’m loving the new hairstyle, and your comfortable, classy, and chic style. Work it, mamma!

We’re featuring 2nd time Bombers and Bombshells until the New Year. It’s Friday, so our male submission comes from Toronto native Tyshan, who was first featured in March of 2011:
He writes, “I am not the guy I was 2 years ago.”
“.. a lot has changed [in terms of] my style, everything about me.”
“I am a male model from Toronto, Canada with a great sense of style.”
” I say fashion is my life because it really is…”
“… since I was born I have never loved anything else like fashion.”
” My style is effortless, simple but with bold detail, I love mixing classic pieces with urban things.”
” I really don’t have a filter when it come to the way I dress, I got an eye for great things that I feel look amazing.”
” To me, I feel fashion should be expressed with out barriers and boundaries, and I try to live like that everyday: with Freedom.”
Amen, brother! Just took a look at your first submission. Your style has evolved quite a bit! I like it.
See more of Tyshan’s style on Instagram @MrFord.
Hot! or Hmmm…?

Hey!
So I’m en route to Australia, after a bit of a hiccup yesterday! Let’s face it: it’s the holiday season. So the staff will be updating only occasionally this week. Since we’ve already started voting on our Bombshell of the Year, we’re going to be featuring repeat Bombshells until 2014! Check out a few updated pix from Charmaine from Toronto:
The Atlanta resident didn’t have much to say in terms of an updated style description:
She simply typed, “[This is] how I make poor eyesight work for my wardrobe LOL.” ” [I have a] retro inspired style…” “… with an emphasis on keeping things classy.”
See more snaps here:
Cute pix! You’re gorgeous, so can pull most things off.
See Charmaine’s first feature here, and check her out on Instagram @Charmsie.

While you guys are generally lukewarm about Fashion Bombers, you go in and let have for our Fashion Bombshells! Whether nice or nasty, you have no issue voicing your opinions.
For Best of 2013, we’re highlighting those Bombshells who made it on your nice lists with flying colors. It was actually really hard to whittle down the list, though we did decide upon 10 finalists.
In no particular order…
From polka dotted playsuits to printed sheaths, Cynthia’s submission was more than on point!
The long time reader and blogger for Addicted2Etsy.com took a few years to send in some flix, but we’re glad she did! She secured a 91% ‘Bombshell’ rating out of 990 votes, and Reeezy wrote in, “Yaassss to the clothes, hair, shoes & confidence! Bombshell!“
Madame Mbu is the owner of Hombakazi Vintage Cabin, a South African pop up store, and was nominated by admirer Zona.
We loved her cropped haircut–and flavorful outfits caused unmatched excitement! Wildflower Elo gushed, “BRAVO!!!! Now that is what gets my fashion juices flowing. Yes!!!!”
We first caught wind of Tsholo’s eclectic style in our How Do You Wear It? Feature, and were happy to have her send in pictures for a full blown Bombshell feature.
She received the most written in nominations and made Andie say, “In a league of her own. I LOVE [her] style!”
Prints and patterns carried punch with Stella from Maryland’s nuanced selection of pictures.
The blogger from Jadore-Fashion.com offered unbridled variety, including a few (fly) maternity pix to boot! Like2Smize appreciated the diversity, writing, “The hands down BEST BOMBSHELL in a very long time. She is great…I sense a deeper understanding of color, pattern, body-type appropriateness and proportion than we usually see here. Those things are key to being a true BOMBSHELL. And a bomb lip color doesn’t hurt either. WERK Mother Nigeria!”
Alicia first appeared on our computer screams back in January–clearly her looks were worth remembering!
The Advertising Exec’s outfits skewed corporate with a cute twist, and you guys went gaga, offering her a 80% ‘Bombshell’ vote out of 1,535 ballots! Soul Touch typed, “Bombshell. Great look, great style, great body, great legs.” Agreed!
Take a look at her post from January 2013 here and be sure to stop by her blog HintofGlamour.com.
Tiffany tantalized viewers with her spot on trends and creative combinations, making her a certified favorite and fixture in our How Do You Wear It? Section.
From body hugging skirts to mixed prints combos, the blogger for The-Werk-Place.com brought it each time. 92% of 1,657 people declared, “Finally! Now This is a Bombshell!”, and Loni declared, “I am so in love! This is fashion. She is everything. Thank you Tiffany!!!”
It seems all our South African Bombshells are submitted by admirers, as was the case with the beautiful Bonang.
Turns out Ms. Bonang is actually quite the celebrity in South Africa, and is known as an entrepreneur, DJ, and a TV Host. It figures–she certainly has ‘it.’
Biana was our very first Romanian Bombshell, and stood out thanks to her blue steel stare and sassy shoe game.
You guys were really feeling her! T1K wrote, “Very clean! Love it! Weerk Bianca!!” and Simiyalala added, “Kabomb! Elegant with dashes of color. Well put together. Well done, mi gyal.”
But was she the best Bombshell of 2013?
Take a look back here.
Paris from Memphis seduced all of us with her sultry stare and simple yet chic looks.
The University of Memphis student, AKA, and Makeup Artist was super popular, with 1,651 voting on her post, the majority declaring her a Bombshell. Sha excitedly typed, “Very pretty girl!! Her fashion sense is very on point!! Love her looks! Kudos pretty girl!!!”
Take a look at her sleek outfits here and on Instagram @parischanel.
Kia Denise was one of my personal favorites. How can you go wrong with killer heels, tailored separates, and a mix of casual, edgy, and chic?
The owner from FromMyStyle2Urs locked down 84% of 1,309 votes leaving Style4Curves in convulsions as she wrote, “YES GAWDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!” LOL.
See her submission here, and catch more of her flix @KiaDenise.
And that does it! It was really tough to filter it down to those 10, but we think they’re deserving, no?
At any rate, who was the Best Bombshell of 2013?
Smootches!
*Sidenote: Yasss for geographic diversity. I love it and all the beauty you guys brings from all corners of the globe.
While a good bit of you visit us for our spot on celebrity and fashion coverage, I think we all can agree that our Fashion Bomber and Bombshell of the Day features are some of our most popular posts!
Stylish readers from all over the world sent in their pictures to showcase their singular aesthetics.
Let’s take a look at the best male submissions of 2013:
1. Jason from New York
Jason made his premiere over the Thanksgiving weekend, so quite a few of you may have missed his tailored looks.
Still, his influence was evident. He secured a 94% ‘Bomber’ vote, and left reader AD saying, “*Drops Funkmaster Flex bombs* I am here for this!”
See his original post here, and see more up to date snaps on his Instagram @Jasn_andrw.
Dualleh from the Hague was on our Best of 2012 Bomber roster, but lost by a hair to Davidson from New York. He decided to resubmit with a flurry of even more dapper ensembles with singular European flair.
He is a perennial favorite! He received 94% and 93% ‘Bomber’ votes for his 1st and 2nd submissions, respectively; reader ILikeToSmize summarized our thoughts exactly: “AMAZING. Hands down, one of the best, most authentic entries. His high taste level is palpable.”
We couldn’t agree more.
But can he bring the prize home this go round? See his first submission here, and his second here.
Howard University student Raymond from the DMV set our stylish hearts aflutter with his mixture of bespoke and collegiate looks.
The blogger for Dapper Diamond District wrote, “My style is inspired by my West African roots, music, art, and style icons of previous generations.” With a 95% ‘Bomber’ vote, he definitely aced your chic test! Irony wrote, “Just give him Bomber of the year already. Done.”
Does he merit the title?
See his original post here and check out his latest looks on Instagram @thedapper_dd.
While most of our Bombers excel in suits, Darion offered a laid back Cali vibe with his logo’d pieces, destroyed jeans, and eye catching footwear.
Though comments were mixed, quite a few of you could appreciate his sartorial artistry. Livvyv said it best, “I think he looks great. He doesn’t have to dress like a guy you would date to be consider a stylish male. I think his style shows versatility and fun.”
Akil from New York got his grown man on with his November submission.
The Academic Advisor for Educational Opportunity at Buffalo State College said his interest in dressing well stemmed from an internship program, where he was the only black man in most of his courses. He said, “I quickly realized that the way you dress says a lot about you.”
You guys had a lot to say about him, effusing, “Yes, Yes, and Yes! #Bomber. Great style, and great attitude and education to back it up….Love it!” and, “Wow. He just murdered it! Simplicity, proper fitting, educated..hello?! Set the bar high.”
Did he murder this competition? Check him out here and leave your thoughts below.
6. Patrick from Oakland
Patrick also brought a Cali vibe, with a strong selection of casually chic ensembles.
He wrote, “I like to keep my looks realistic, trendy, and comfortable.”
WestAfricanMutt wrote, “I usually am not a fan of bombers but he did that!”
The personal shopper, who described his style as sophisticated and fun, only secured 80% of your ‘Bomber’ vote with his initial feature. How will he stand up against the other candidates?
