So I was randomly on the website for Next Models, and came across the profile of Bombshell Kimanee Wilson:

Get the Look: Rihanna’s Philippe Chow Restaurant Style

Rihanna was spotted leaving Manhattan’s swank Philippe Chow restaurant on Monday after having lunch with singer/songwriter Santigold:

The BET Awards winner rocked cute cut off shorts, sunglasses, and a bright orange bra worn under a sheer button down Helmut Lang top:

The peek-a-boo bra style didn’t quite work for Teairra Marie, but does it work for Rih Rih?

If you think it does, intern Sean Garrette found you these options:

Fly Question of the Week: What Childhood Trend is Hot Again?

Today our boys over at Stuff Fly People Like are hitting us with a bit of nostalgia for the great eighties and its singular fashions:

Old School Fashion

While Rae reminisced on his dope slope haircut, all I can think of are those stone washed jeans I used to rock that are mildly reminiscent of the tie dyed joints of today.

What about you? What childhood trends are you wearing now?

Chanel Iman Moonlights as an Intern for Teen Vogue

Last week model Chanel Iman turned up super early for a cover shoot at Teen Vogue. Instead of wait around or go sip on a latté, she asked if she could help out in the fashion closet, and help she did:

Chanel Iman Teen Vogue Intern

A tickled Teen Vogue staffer said, “To our surprise, she was in such awe over the closet, [her] quick drive-by turned into a day interning with us! While clothing and accessory returns were being made around her, Chanel helped reorganize our closet and proved to be a major asset–there’s nothing like having a tall model around to help restock those high shoe shelves!”

Sounds cute!

Style File : Amber Rose

Hey Bombshells!

Today I decided to take a look at consummate arm candy and budding fashionista…

Kanye West Amber Rose

Amber Rose!

Say what you want about her short haircut, questionable past, or around the way girl swagger, this future model has been making her fashionable rounds, wearing some of the best pieces–period. Let’s take a look!

When Ms. Rose drops in to fashion shows with style connoisseur Kanye, she makes her mark in coordinated spandex outfits that pop in pink, red, or skin skimming black…

…almost always topped off with a sick pair of shades and clutch.

For red carpet events, she trades in the pants, favoring dresses with long or short hems, finished off with a bright lip and Blue Steel stare:

Amber-Rose-Met-Gala

When she’s out of the spotlight Amber lets it all hang out, going for comfort in her traditional spandex or opting for a pair of easy shorts:

Amber-Rose-Casual

Wherever she goes, she always stands out–perfect for an outstanding up and coming style star.
