Hey Bombshells!
So last week I was in Fashion Week Madness and totally couldn’t get to Mail Bombs;( This week I’m rested up and ready. Are you?
Let’s go!
First up, Tawanda says, “Everyone wants to know–well at least I do–about this fantabulous shirt Ms. Washington is wearing!”
“…It’s gorgeous.”
According to Red Carpet Fashion Awards, Ms. Washington is wearing this Catherine Malandrino Fall 2009 Ruffle Top:
Princesse says, “Hey guys can you plz tell me where I can find black pants like Kim Kardashian?”
“I lovvvve them!”
Get Kim’s contrast look with these fun options:
In another Kim K Mail Bomb, Lluckie asks, “Can you tell me who makes this dress?”
According to several sources, Kim is wearing this Antik Batik Erin Sequined Plunge Back Dress:
The dress comes in gold and silver and…is sold out everywhere. Hit up Ebay.com for a chance to buy it on auction.
Kristine says, “I LOVE the color and texture on Solange’s dress.”
” Do you know where i could get a more affordable lookalike?”
We couldn’t find a similar dress, but you can get her look for less than $100 with these chic separates:
In a Male Mail Bomb, Twan says, “Where can I get Jay-Z’s shades?”
According to Upscale Hype, Jay is wearing these $500 Cazal 607/Doubledown NYC Sunglasses:
Lastly, in a wardrobe query, Tabatha says, “I’m attending my 1st Fashion Show ever and the theme is “Image is everything.” It’s going to be in Chicago this month so the weather will be cold. The color theme is pink,black, white… I wanted to wear something ” Old Hollywood” but I’m not sure what! I do want to wear a high waisted skirt to accentuate my small waist. Help me please. I’m open to any looks I just want to be stylish!”
Hey Tabatha! When all else fails with fashion, make sure you turn it out with eye catching, extraordinary accessories. Make heads turn with a fly shoe, a clutch in a bright color, or statement making earrings–let your clothes act like a chic yet simple canvas for all your outstanding accoutrements. Get a fun look with the following:
That does it for today! Stay tuned for more celeb style and looks for less!
Smootches!
Fashion Week is over here in Paris, and it’s time to sit back and reflect on the fabulous fashion on and off the runway.
Ubercelebrities Rihanna and Prince (among others) were in the City of Love for the festivities, and both came out in their best designer sponsored duds to sit front row. Rihanna has been said to take slight style inspiration from Purple Rainman Prince, so we thought it would be fun to have the two trendsetters go head to head in a style showdown.
Who turned it out the best for Paris Fashion Week?
For the Chanel Show, both went for a light color palette with Prince opting for head to toe gray ruffled glory and Rih representing in white and light blue with pearl accents…
The two favored black, with Prince rocking a gold sequined black jacket for Yves Saint Laurent, and Rihanna in black collared cut out top for Jean Paul Gaultier…
And both brought their short slick cuts and dark sunglasses to the front rows of John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld.
Dior’s version is definitely more chic than Bebe’s. Although, I have to admit that the silver piping around the platform of Bebe’s version adds some edge. Bebe’s version only costs $149, but the Dior’s will set you back $632. Which would you rock?
Hey Guys!
Today our Bombshell is Radica, yet another New Yorker with great style:
About the Fashion Bomb, she says, “I love The Fashion Bomb because the it features all aspects of fashion: clothes, makeup, hair, careers in fashion etc. And when a celebrity is rocking a piece that I know I can’t afford the blog shows great alternatives to that piece!”
LOL, we try.
We love your outfit’s great color, detailed embroidery, and unique straps. You’re also working a haute hairstyle. Fab!
What do you guys think?

So today was kind of womp womp. I ran to catch the Louis Vuitton show at the Louvre, but was running a little bit behind…I thought I’d be fine since most shows start a little late. Well, I got there about 15 minutes after the start and all I could see were the well dressed show attendees leaving the venue:( Yes, I was tardy for the party.
I stood outside literally kicking rocks until I spied Covergirl Chanel Iman:
I interviewed her really quickly about on her on again/off again friend Jourdan Dunn and the state of diversity in the industry (see above). She was super sweet–and I love her shades!
