On the latest appointment, Leo Rongone, CEO of Bottega Veneta, expressed: “Matthieu Blazy is an extraordinarily talented individual, whom I am proud and excited to entrust with the creative helm of our luxury House.

Rapper Young Dolph has died after a shooting in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee on Wednesday.

According to the Memphis Police, the Bulletproof artist was reportedly buying cookies at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies when he was fatally shot and killed.

Young Dolph is survived by his beautiful wife and entrepreneur Mia Jaye and two young children Tre Tre and Aria.

The music industry has expressed its grief for the loss of the late rapper including Gucci Mane, Chance the Rapper, Megan Thee Stallion, Quavo and many more.

Young Dolph has been described as extremely motivational and community-orientated, often giving back to fans, members of the Memphis community, and those in need. One of his many notable acts include gifting two Duke student-employees with $20,000 after they were fired for playing his songs in the local coffee shop. He also donated $25,000 to his local high school in 2020 as well as assisted with food donation in the area just last week.

We send our condolences, love and light to Young Dolph’s family and friends at this time.

Young Dolph’s murder remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH.

Brown seemed to be Ciara’s go-to color this weekend as she performed at this year’s Baby2Baby Gala in another brown look following her tonal red carpet ensemble for the event.

Ciara wore a custom Dolce and Gabbana brown look, styled by Kollin Carter. The outfit consisted of a high-low blazer jacket, high-waisted shorts, a satin top and tie, and satin over-the-knee boots, which gave us the feels of an glammed-out ringmaster. While a ringmaster is one who directs the circus, Ciara showed us that she was the commander of style with this look.

The majestic gallery was bathed in pink and purple light, while a band played, clothed in white. Guests, all wearing Hanifa, entered the venue, tip-toeing past artful waterfalls, pink balloons, and fluffy flowers to find their seats, which were stamped with the brand’s logo. The setting was magical, so it’s no surprise Hanifa’s collection was called Dream. In a video that played before the show, brand founder Anifa Mvuemba said, “ Some dreams may fade over time, but others cling to us and become an integral part of who we are. They guide us throughout our lives and direct us to the path that we were destined to take. Our dreams serve as a reminder that we are capable of anything in this life if we just believe.”

With numerous awards under her belt (including a Faby’s 2020 Designer of the Year award), and brand fans that include Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary J Blige, and Monica, Mvuemba, who also celebrated her 31st birthday last night, is certainly living the dream. Her newest collection offered her signature wearable knits, suits, and denim, made with real women in mind. New pieces included red carpet ready gowns (a denim bustier number with a long train closed the show), and footwear that will be on everyone’s wish list this season. The energy was high and the mood elevated, as the mostly black female audience celebrated one of their own. Anifa’s trajectory is proof that all things are possible with hard work and a commitment to excellence.

The Real Housewives of Potomac cast including Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Askale Davis, Robyn Dixon, and Candiace Dillard, all came out to support, wearing Hanifa:

Fellow CEO’s and Founder like Mess in a Bottle’s Kalilah Wright and Girl CEO Ronne Brown were also in attendance.

For the occasion, I wore a Soraya maxi by Hanifa of course!

Stay tuned for more photos and catch the full runway above.

You ask, we answer! @atay1979 says, “Good morning!!! Can you please find Kenya outfit pleeaassee”

Kenya Moore stopped to grab a mirror selfie while filming for the Real Housewives of Atlanta. In her selfie, she wore a $1,195 Balmain dress. Her dress appears in denim as a blazer-style piece with slight broad shoulders, pockets, and gold buttons which form a double-breasted detail.

Unfortunately, the Balmain blazer dress is sold out. Would you rock it if it was available?
