Jourdan has made quite a splash in her short career, being named British Fashion Awards’ 2008 Model of the Year, stomping for Prada after a 10 year black model drought, and gracing the cover of Italian Vogue’s historic All Black issue.

Do you think this signals the end of her career?

Rip the Runway: Alexander Wang vs Bebe

For such a relative newcomer to the fashion scene, it’s a little surprising that Alexander Wang has had so many mass-produced dresses “inspired” by pieces from his collections. Celebrities like Lala and Kim Kardashian flock to his frocks, so it’s not hard to believe that he’s being imitated.

Bebe’s Sweetheart Mesh Bodice Dress comes close to Alexander Wang’s with a slit at the bottom and mesh material at the top.  Without a doubt, Bebe’s is much more R-word friendly.  But which one would you rather rock on a hot night out with the girls?

Mail Bombs: Beyonce’s Cool Khaki Look, Adrienne’s One Shoulder White Dress, and Keri’s Leather Vest!

Today’s very busy for me, so I’m going to make Mail Bombs super quick!
Let’s Go!
Jewel from New Orleans says, “Can you please help me find a more affordable version of what Bey is rocking in these pics?”

Beyonce Safari Outfit

“… I love the entire outfit!! Also, could you suggest pieces that would make it “work-friendly” too…I would like to take it from the office to happy hour.”
Of course! Get Beyonce’s look for less by tucking a shirred beige shirt into a pair of cropped pants. Make it work friendly with a pair of round toe pumps and tie it all together with a wide belt:

Next, Nicki says, “Can you help me find a dress similar to the one Adrienne’s wearing?

LOVES IT!!

Hey! Looks like Adrienne wore a simple one shoulder white dress sauced up with a bauble necklace. Get her look by combining these options:

Kia from New Jersey says, “I LOVE the leather vest Keri Hilson is wearing in this picture:”

Keri Hilson Leather Vest

“…Can you help me find an affordable, Black vest exactly OR similar to the one shown?

We did a little digging and found these for ya:

Kerri says, “I came across this pictures of Miss Knowles at an event on Wednesday!
Solange-Knowles

“…I luvs the outfit and the pop of color (minus the wig :-)). Can you help find something similar?

Recreate Solange’s red carpet romper look with these affordable options:

Lastly, new reader Jasmine says, “Can you please help me duplicate a similar style?
Vintage Fashion

“…Her pants are vintage and that’s a one in a million buy.
Adriana says, “Great eye, Jasmine! Here’s the best we could find to help you create the look on your own:
That does it!

Beauty Verdict : Solange’s New Au Natural Style

2009 just might be year of the clippers!

Earlier this year Cassie eschewed her good girl image by shaving off a portion of her hair, then former Veejay Lala did the same. Not soon after Rihanna was also seen sporting a shaved side ‘do.

Well, Solange has topped all three by taking it all off:

Solange Shaved Hair

Yes! Solange went from long and flowing to short and edgy.

I applaud Solange for going au natural. It takes a lot of courage to leave the extensions behind and embrace what’s yours (I’m speaking from experience):

solange-rings

It’ll be interesting to see how she dresses it up.

What do you think of her new look?

This Week in Chic: Soledad, Keri, Chris Rock, and more!

This week was unfortunately low on chic. Still, we scrounged up a few pics for your viewing pleasure:

If I had to pick, I’d go with Mya and Alicia Keys’ back stage outfits. They look ready to rock out in a music video or onstage.

Who’s your pick for this week in chic?
