Not sure if you’ve heard the buzz, but there’s a new show on BET.com called Buppies:
The hip webisodes follows the lives of five ‘Buppies’ or Black Yuppies–Priscilla a Magazine Editor, Shaka a Rapper/Corporate Lawyer , Eliot a Sports Agent, Kourtney a rap music heiress, and Quinci an Entertainment Publicist–as they navigate The Young Black Hollywood scene and try to stay out of trouble.
Today the cast of Buppies was fabulous enough to talk to The Fashion Bomb about a few of their favorite things, and dish a bit about their character’s styles on the show!
Next up, we have Robin Thede, who plays prissy Priscilla:
About her character, Robin says, “She’s the black woman in a corset! Priscilla is very tailored and loves all things Chanel.” By contrast Robin is more subdued, saying, “I love Tulle clothing–it’s a local LA designer that has phenomenal everyday wear with thoughtful touches (silk lining, bows and flouncy hemlines) and super affordable prices. I adore Marc Jacobs for handbags and fun dresses in wild patterns. David Meister and Jenny Packham have ridiculously gorgeous dresses from fancy daywear to red carpet stunners. And with Kate Moss for Top Shop you can always find cute pieces in her line that make a statement:”
Ernest Wadell is Shaka, the high powered attorney with dreams of being the next hot rapper:
He says that Shaka is, “all about urban luxe.” Ernest himself prefers to go for more of a hipster vibe, rocking whatever feels comfortable for him. He says, “I dress according to how I feel while I think Shaka dresses according to how he’ll be seen.” A champion of functionality and durability, Ernest counts Quoddy trial mocassins, Zip ups by A.P.C, Diesel Jeans, Odin Boutique Button Ups, Chuck Tailors, and Dunhill Wallets amongst his favorite things:
And lastly Preston Davis plays Eliot, Priscilla’s boyfriend:
Preston says that Eliot is, “Preppy, tailored, and conservative. He loves Thomas Pink and Hugo Boss on a relaxed day.” As for his personal style, Preston says, “My style is the exact opposite of controlled and conservative! I call my style “hii-fancy” for hippie meets fancy. I’m a little bit of everything and can wear virtually anything I want and make it look good.” His wardrobe must haves include his vintage red cowboy boots, blue Levi’s, and his Panamanian handmade Lavendar bag:
Melody Thornton and Beyonce don’t normally have similar taste, but overlapped a bit with this figure flattering embellished number:
While Beyonce wore the black version with gold platform pumps and red lipstick for MTV’s Europe Music Awards, Melody opted for white for the American Music Awards and paired hers with black booties, a smoky eye, and nude lipstick.
The dress is indisputably hot, but who wore it better?
If you loved Alicia Keys’ Giorgio Armani dress at the American Music Awards, but don’t have Armani money, you can get her look for less with this Armani Exchange $99 Origami Pleated Party Dress:
Mix and match with these affordable separates to compete her colorful red carpet look:
