Tons of stars made it out for the Soul Train Awards in Atlanta, wearing their chicest red carpet outfits:
So many HOT looks, it’s so hard to choose just one! Loving Fantasia in her Louis Vuitton shoes, Keri in her black silk corset dress, and Taraji‘s pretty purple cocktail. While the Real Housewives of ATL have me ‘hmm’-ing with the sheer amounts of hair and makeup, hats off to Kandi, who put on a happy face and looked FABULOUS and sophisticated even with her recent heartache.
Hey guys!
Vuitton here giving you the rundown of what’s hot this winter for the fellas.
More often than not, guys don’t put much thought into their outfits during the colder months because let’s face it; we just want to be warm. But winter attire can be just as creative as spring/summer wear. Gear up with these options:
Jeans:
Drake and Tyrese take steps back from slim cut jeans and focus on a more straight, relaxed fit with a darker wash. You don’t want to feel too constricted and washed out in an already drab season. Get the look with these options:
Boots:
Aside from practicality, the right boot can pull together an entire look. Take a gander at the ones below:
Puffer/Bubble Vests:
Whatever you want to call them, down vests can make a chilly day just a little more comfortable for you. Bonus: they can be worn over just about anything…from a long sleeve tee to a suit. You can never go wrong with a black patent puffer vest, but if you think you can rock one with some color, choose one below:
And finally…Flannel Shirts
Okay, flannel isn’t exactly a new trend, but layering a puff vest over a flannel shirt can create a fashionable look (without looking like you’re trying too hard). Match a flannel with one of the vests above for a style that’s all you:
No excuse, fellas. Amp up your swag this season.

Black Nail Polish has long tread the line between goth and chic, but seems to have made a recent resurgence amongst some of pop’s foremost faces:
If you’re going for a rocker edge, let your nails chip a little like Fefe Dobson’s. Go for super sophisticated with unchipped nails, long or short, like Solange and Raven.
If you’re willing to give this trend a shot, do so with these affordable polishes:
Hey!
Today we have TWO Bombshells hailing from the West Coast, Vanessa and Tearra!
Vanessa says, “I think my friend, Tearra, and I totally fit the mold for Fashion Bombshell of the Day. We work together on events and fashion all the time. Most recently, we did an event for Pinky Rose Boutique in Los Angeles, and it was fabulous! Check it out.“
“…We like to incorporate our own personal style into our wardrobe. Tearra is more edgy and uses a lot of Rihanna’s style as inspiration. I like to take a more feminine approach, and use some of Beyonce’s style as my focus.“
“…I hope you guys like our style! Thanks :)”
We sure do! And you guys might recognize Vanessa and Tearra from the Fashion Bomb’s LA Meet & Greet. They were AWESOME and coordinated a warm welcome and fashion show for us in the City of Angels. View our Vintage Post here, and tell us: What do you think of their style?
Smootches!

Though Pharrell is a founding member of the Billionaire Boys Club, he kept it humble and frugal at a recent performance in a pair of $59 New Balance 574 Sneakers:
Although we stuck a fork in the Herve Leger trend back in 2008, it seems fashionistas are still running to Leger’s atelier for his skin skimming, positively flattering frocks. Dania Ramirez attended the premiere of the movie “2012” in a yellow number with blush inserts, while Letoya Luckett went for more traditional gray at the 2009 Soul Train Awards:

Save on leather gloves, waist cinching belts, drop down earrings, and more:
