Cardi B is back and better than ever! After having her second baby, the music artist has been laying low and spending time with her family. However, yesterday she sent fans into frenzy as she made a grande return to the fashion scene during Paris Fashion Week and she did so in such a Cardi-esque way.
Cardi B visited the opening party for the Thierry Mugler: Couturissime exhibition at the MAD in Paris. The exhibition features restorations of the designer’s couture and ready-to-wear pieces including Cardi’s epic dress from the 2019 Grammys. For the event, Cardi appeared in two archival Mugler looks. She stepped on the scene wearing this over-the-top (literally, it hovered over her head!) red feather and sequin look from the brand’s 1995 collection. In fact, the same look was worn by Eva Herzigova during the Fall 1995 show.
The “Up” artist later was spied in another Mugler look from the brand’s archives, this time going for an all black vibe. She wore a Spring 1997 couture look from the collection inspired by winged creatures and insects. The look consisted of a corseted feather trim top and a sheer mesh skirt.
Real Housewives of Potomac star and singer Candiace Dillard Bassett held an album release party in DC at Club Karma for her debut album, Deep Space. With performances and vibes supplied by the album artist herself, Tryfe, and DJ Strange along with a live band, many of her castmates, friends, and fans attended the event in support of her newest R&B project.
For the Deep Space release party, CANDIACE wore a gold vintage jumper from New York Vintage paired with Aquazurra “Boreal” metallic croc-embossed over-the-knee boots (sold out). She then finished the look with a pair of Versace hoop earrings. Her look was styled by duo Brian and Glam.
Wendy Osefo was spotted at the album release party with husband Edward Osefo wearing a $260 Atoìr “The Vista” Dress paired with a pink Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag and ankle-chain detail PVC sandals.
To celebrate the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, a gala was held in honor of the historical building which is now the largest institution to house over 125 years of film-related artifacts from photographs to props.

Which look from the Academy Museum Gala was your favorite?
Crop tops, graphic tees, bralettes – all shirts, all adding just the right amount of flavor to our closets! We love them, we want them and we will talk a bit about them here. All the big brands have dipped their toes in the latest trends; think Balmain, Alexander McQueen, and Fendi. From logo shirts to more subtle branding, lace, puffy sleeves – there are plenty of styles to choose from.
Given there are several points to consider in picking the right kind of shirt for your closet, head over to yofreesamples to get a more wholesome view of what options are available out there. Your body type also plays an integral part in what sort of shirt styles would suit you – not all styles/cuts flatter every figure. Determining which type you are will certainly help in your purchasing decision.
Trends are ever-changing and we like to keep up with them where we can. Certain shirt styles have been hot consistently through many seasons, others are one-season wonders. We are going to let you in on a few of our favorite ones. Keep in mind that the most important factor in all this is how you will feel in the shirt and whether or not the cut/style agrees with your frame.
Let’s get to it.
The Graphic Tee
From Notorious B.I.G to Aaliyah or a basic ‘Black Lives Matter’ print, the graphic tee has been consistently trendy. The graphics change from season to season – but the basic trend remains intact. Brands like Gucci and Nike sometimes collaborate with artists for their graphics to make the shirts pop more. The greatest quality of a graphic tee is that it can be paired with all manner of bottoms and it can be dressed up or down. Add edgy accessories like these Louis Vuitton earrings and you have a winning look!
The Crop Top
The crop top has truly stood the test of fashion seasons. In the ’80s & ’90s, it was worn by both men and women in bold colors and different fabrics, cotton being the most popular one. The crop top has evolved over the years and we are here for it! There have been tweaks to the original design in necklines, form-fitting or loose designs, and the fabrics used on it. Get some statement Dior accessories to create an edgy look. An absolute must-have for you, our trendy queen!
The Button-down Shirt
We promise you – it is not as boring as it sounds! The button shirt is so versatile that you can go from office to brunch with the girls in an instant! Fashion powerhouses like Balenciaga are doing very interesting things with it, removing the ordinary from the humble button-down and making it edgy and very stylish. Go for a plain one and cinch it at the waist with a thin belt, tuck one end into your jeans, throw on a pair of heels and you’re ready to go!
The three types of shirts mentioned above are three in a sea of many, many other ones! We hope we have given you a point from which to begin your wardrobe upgrade. Be sure to make your makeup and fragrance complement your entire look – and that your confidence is on lock!
