Every year the Baby2Baby Gala raises funds to continue their efforts in reducing poverty for children in America and around the world. Uniting A-list celebrities in the name of charity, the evening presented plenty of top-tier looks to be appreciated on the red carpet. This year’s top 5 looks compile are some of the best yet:
Recipient of the Giving Tree Award for her ongoing commitment to helping those in need, Kim Kardashian gave her acceptance speech wearing a Spring Summer 2023 Balenciaga design in a well suited hue of baby pink. The look was completed with hair by Chris Appleton and a simple winged liner makeup by Ariel Tejada.
Styled by Elly Karamoh, Lori wore Off-White Spring Summer 2023 to the Baby2Baby gala. In this sheer full-body covering, she served face with such beautiful makeup application by her makeup artist Anna Hart.
Long time supporter of the Baby2Baby cause, Kelly Rowland never disappoints. For 2022, she wore a pale lilac Georges Chakra gown with metallic scale like detailing through the bodice.
Supporting her big sister in receiving an honorary award, Kylie Jenner wore a backless black pleated custom gown by Loewe. Just like her Kim, she, too, was made up by Ariel Tejada. Her outfit was styled by Alexandra Rose and Mackenzie Grandquist.
Ayesha also attended the gala wearing a pink floral printed, off-shoulder gown by Giambattista Valli. Her stylist Jason Bolden added accessories from Gismondi 1754 Jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels to tie the entire look together from head to toe.
With a Super Bowl halftime show coming up, the newly released Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 show and new music on the horizon, Rihanna is one busy mama! Yet somehow she and A$AP Rocky continuously make time to spend together and look fab while at it.
This weekend, the couple was outside the Fleur Room lounge in Hollywood for the launch of A$AP’s whisky brand when paparazzi snapped him wearing look 2 from Bottega Veneta’s Fall Winter 2022 ready-to-wear collection. He paired it with a soon-to-be-released $6,900 Bottega Veneta Curved Sleeves Leather Jacket in Dark Green.
Rihanna wore a faux leather Rick Owens Cargo Skirt that retails for $1,635. Get the look below!
Grief is a complicated emotion, and rarely does it travel alone. It often pulls up to the party with sadness or anger, confusion, and anxiety. Sometimes all of the above at once. It cannot be explained simply by even the top psychologists or viewed plainly in black and white.
Yet with all the density of the emotion, grief is versatile. It’s an emotional chameleon that manifests itself in a multitude of ways. We all receive and operate through grief differently, and perhaps that’s why Yung Miami chose to show off her funeral ‘fit for the Gram.

On November 11th, family, friends and fans gathered to honor Takeoff. The former Migos member lost his life in Houston at the beginning of this month. The memorial was held at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena where Takeoff’s celebrity friends and industry peers said their goodbyes. Drake gave a moving eulogy and Justin Bieber performed an acoustic rendition of his song Ghost.

In usual funeral fashion, guests arrived respectfully dressed in their black best (see more at TheStateofFashion.bulletin.com). Yet it can’t go forgotten that this is a celebrity funeral. The dark sunglasses that covered swollen eyes ranged from Balenciaga to Versace, and the Van Cleef jewelry was on sight. Though, when it’s a funeral, not a fashion show, serving a look is typically towards the bottom of your list of concerns, or at the very least, it should be.
After the funeral, Yung Miami posted fly ‘fit pics on Instagram. A normal practice amongst A-listers and influencers, except this OOTD seemed a little OOT (out of touch).
Clad in a leather look —featuring a bold shoulder overcoat, mini dress, Balenciaga BB boots, and a satin quilted bag— Yung Miami posed for the Gram in the exact look she wore to Takeoff’s funeral. Captioned with a lyric from Glorilla and Cardi B’s hit Tomorrow 2, the post sees Miami serving on the streets in a handful of runway-ready poses.
Though the lyric “everyday the sun won’t shine but that’s why I love tomorrow” insinuates brighter days following Takeoff’s passing, it could also read as simply captioning a photo with a current song or showing love to her fellow femcees. The comments further this idea with frequent flame emoji responses and the countless statements speaking to the look itself. Not typically the feedback one would receive on what they wore as a dearly departed. Miami also made sure to tag her stylist, hairstylist, and makeup artist in the photo, a common move when posting a ‘fit pic.
In addition to Miami, Keyshia Ka’oir also dropped a funeral ‘fit pic to IG. Though she ends her carousel with photos of the deceased alongside his obituary, she did follow up with a separate post that is all about the look.
Without confirmation from Miami or Ka’oir, we can’t say these women aren’t acting out of anguish. Grief is a many-faced beast, and with both women part of an image-leading industry, it’s possible showing out on Instagram is also how they show sadness. There’s also the argument of how close all parties were. If neither Ka’oir nor Miami were in Takeoffs immediate circle, perhaps they don’t see anything wrong with their posts as they did pay their respects.
It’s also possible they have fallen victim to their celebrity and let their love for the lights blind them from their better judgment. An event as high-profile as a funeral for one of the most dynamic rappers of the early 2010s will likely draw media attention. With Takeoff’s death as highly publicized as it is, coupled with the location of the service (an arena), it was unlikely we the people wouldn’t see the look.
This begs a few questions: Was this necessary? Who was this for?, and is nothing sacred anymore? While I understand ‘fit pics are a part of the celebrity/influencer job, the already narrowing line of ‘what’s for the TL’ vs, ‘what’s for RL’ grows even thinner when days of mourning aren’t spared from social media moments.
As the desire to be seen on social media grows, we’re bound to witness even more moments that make us question what isn’t for the Gram anymore. Though when it comes to funeral-related posts, well, we all grieve differently, right?
When it comes to the cold of winter, few things matter more than warmth and comfort. There are few things that bring you the same amount of joy as your blanketed bed or couch, and there are probably a few things that you would like to do less than go outside. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why you’ll have to, from shoveling the driveway to showing up for parties. For things like shoveling and commuting, you likely have some flats, sneakers and boots that feel like snow slippers on heavy rotation. But what about when you need something special for the season’s celebrations and inevitably turn to the staple high heels in your wardrobe?
If you’re looking to elevate your ensemble without slipping up this season, comfortable heels for women are still on the table. It’s as simple as understanding how to style them, and how to keep from slipping!
Keep the Shoe Closed
Come winter,closed-toe shoes will save you from so much snow entering your shoes, as well as keep your toes so much warmer — without having to try! This means less excruciating step-plotting to avoid snow, and more showcasing that you can kick through any little bits of snow like a capable human being who’s not being held back by peep-toes and holes in her heels.
If you do opt for an open-toe, though, absolutely consider pairing them with extra cute socks that add to the aesthetic! For instance, a cute pair of ruffle-cuffed ankle socks under your strappy heels can elevate your cute ’90s girl look, or a sheer pair of black leotards under your black leather peep-toe pumps can elevate your sophisticated look.
Take Action Against Inevitable Snow Melt
If you’ve ever walked a snowy path, street or parking lot, you know that it doesn’t take long for your shoes to feel cold, heavy and wet — not to mention LOOK cold, heavy and wet! That’s why water-resistant — or pure waterproof — shoes are a must. Naturally water-repellent materials like leather, suede, nylon, neoprene, rubber or otherwise are commonly available in heeled styles, and can be enhanced even further with waterproof sprays and treatments.
Keep Slippery Surfaces in Mind
The most worrisome factor when it comes to wearing heels in the winter is the constant threat of slipping and hurting yourself on the concrete, ceramic or other hard slippery surfaces that the ice has covered. We’ve all had half-slips that scare us half to death, so we all know that an unrivaled tread is imperative. This can be achieved easily through an anti-slip, rubberized sole.
Unfortunately, this simple solution can be strenuous to try and find on a standard pair of high heels. If your favorite heels don’t feature an anti-slip tread, though, you can consider manually scuffing up the bottom of your shoes to create some. Along with this, extra high or stiletto heel wearers should invest in heel stoppers for extra stability.
Go for Good Socks or Pantyhose
Base layer materials like cotton, wool and nylon will keep your feet warm, in addition to helping keep them dry. Look for socks or pantyhose in these materials. Along with this, socks and pantyhose will provide added padding and texture that will help prevent your feet from slipping within the shoe itself. And better yet, socks and pantyhose will stop the friction between your shoes and skin to help you avoid blisters!
Add Ankle Support
Both for warmth, and to stop the snow from sliding into your shoe as you walk, boots are the best. Proper ankle support is essential in the winter weather + high-heel style equation — and a big factor in the ankle boot solution.
Cute ankle boots for winter will be warm, water-resistant, slip-resistant, closed-toed and walled to stop snow from entering, provide intense ankle support and offer always-interesting aesthetics — or, in other words, hit every mark! If you feel that boots really assault your style, consider at least seeking added ankle stability through features like ankle straps on your shoes.
The Slipperier the Surfaces, the Sturdier the Heel
When it comes to the slippery icy cement that lines the sidewalks, or the slick ceramic floors wet with melting snow in every public space, the sturdier and wider the heel, the better! Styles like wedge heels and block heels, in particular, will provide second-to-none stability as far as heeled styles go.
Deep and Dark Colors Will Do Better in Your Outfits
Thanks to common seasonal aesthetic preferences, and because of the salt and dirt that’s been mixed into the snow, dark shoe colors will do you best!
Forget Everything You Know About Walking in Heels
“Heel, toe. Heel, toe.” If you haven’t said this at some point in your head as you walk in heels, you’re lying. And while this is normally the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing way to do it, it surely isn’t the most stable when you’re in heels on slippery surfaces!
Instead, you’ll want to distribute your body weight evenly when stepping on slippery surfaces in your heels. With that in mind, you’re bound to wipe out if you just suddenly switch your stride — slippery streets or not! So make sure you’ve prepared a little bit before you step onto the snowy, icy sidewalk.
Elevate Your Outfit in Every Way
A solid and sexy pair of heels can elevate your outfit in more ways than one. But from boosting your actual height to boosting your overall aesthetic, we believe that the biggest elevation is your confidence! The right pair of heels will make you walk taller and stronger — but not if you’re slipping or freezing in them! Luckily, knowing how to wear your heels in the height of winter is a key that we have, and we’d love to help you unlock that door (and strut through it in style, no matter how slippery it is outside).
