You ask, we answer! @Professorboire says, “Can we get the details on the bag?”
Rihanna was captured strolling around Manhattan in a sporty chic look consisting of a red and white Martine Rose Polo top, oversized blue jeans, and a quintessential New York Yankees cap.
The star of her outfit was her nude $1,350 Fendi crossbody that was shaped in the form of a french baguette.
The “We Found Love” singer is expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, and donned her baguette bread pouch across her belly bump, highlighting her own “bun in the oven.” Made in Italy with sheepskin, RiRi’s bag features a removable black leather strap with silver hardware.
On our Fashion Bomb daily Instagram page, @nevaehskyy1 wrote, “She is Iconic in anything she wears but the bag 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” @neiceyreese also commented, “She does streetwear chic so well.”
The multifaceted Shamea Morton was a sight to behold on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last night in a pale yellow Jacquemus dress that was draped to a T.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star who has stolen all of our hearts with her vivacious personality, and incredible voice, is officially in her prime, and it shows.
Shamea was all smiles while strutting in her yellow monochromatic ensemble. Retailing for $1,690, her Jacquemus Mini Dress was designed in Portugal, and featured a draped front cape, and an open back.
If there’s one thing this housewife has proven, it’s her affinity for luxury designer apparel. Whether she’s donning the latest Chanel tweed jacket, or sporting the chicest Prada accessories, Shamea is undoubtedly a fashion girl.
She completed her ensemble with yellow stiletto pumps, and gold statement earrings that matched perfectly with her bangles and rings. Her hair was cut into a bowl haircut, showcasing her angular facial features, and beautiful glam.
We thought Shamea Morton looked stunning on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and we can’t wait to see her rock more bomb looks this season.
The annual affair is a celebration of art, culture, and community—raising vital funds to support emerging Black artists and education initiatives.
Each year, stylish guests show up in support of a great cause, dressed to impress. Though there is no official dress code, guest tend to lean heavily into the Spring theme with floral frocks, summery dresses, and fabulous bomb accessories to boot! This year, as in previous years, it rained (!), which for some meant swapping out the Spring cocktail dresses for smart suits and long sleeved separates.
Take a look:

As for me, I slipped on a custom dress by Atelier Ndigo, a Haitian brand out of Miami.
Between the Met Gala and BET, I did not have time to think about a look, but I think my dress fit the Spring Floral theme well!
Thank you to my girls Azhar and Aaliyah for always making sure FBD is in the building for this seriously stylish event!
Powerful, audacious and absolutely iconic, the 2025 MET Gala, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” kicked off yesterday evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and was unforgettable.
Taking a page out of the late fashion extraordinaire Andre Leon Talleyfashion book, the theme spotlighted “Black dandyism,” a cultural movement highlighting black identity through fashion and style to communicate autonomy, resistance, and agency.
For the history making moment, stars stepped into the spotlight donning the sharpest tailored suiting, with bold brim hats and polished shoes while paying homage to black influence.
Some of the dandiest men of the evening included Dapper Dan, Coleman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton and Bad Bunny. The event, which perhaps was the most diverse yet, raised a record-breaking 31-million in fundraising, proving that when you give everyone a seat at the table, historic things can happen.
Our Fashion Bomb CEO,Claire Sulmers was on the MET Gala carpet in one of the hottest red suits designed by Deji & Kola, and styled by Swanky Jerry . She had the opportunity to interview celebs includingJodie Smith, Angela Bassett, Dwayne Wade, Issa Rae, and Simone Biles.
With Rihanna revealing her third pregnancy in an avant-garde Marc Jacobs look, and Teyana Taylor‘s stripe suit by Ruth E. Carter depicting layers of black storytelling, this will undoubtedly be one of the most talked about MET Gala’s throughout the ages.
In addition to the legendary Diana Ross who came with the drama, and stole the show as she arrived in an over-the-top white Eleven Sixteen gown with feather details. We’re sure if Andre was still alive, he would be stunned by her victorious return after 22-years, and how youthful the 81-year old looked. Perhaps her appearance also say’s quite a lot about her admiration for Talley’s contribution to the fashion industry.
At this year’s MET Gala, celebrities made a grand entrance taking calculated risks in some of the most brilliant bespoke garments. Ahead, see the stars who illuminated on the carpet, and served as a catalyst for inspiration .

“I’d like to be remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of young people – that I nurtured someone and taught them to pursue their dreams and their careers, to leave a legacy”-Andre Leon Talley
I had the absolute pleasure of getting glammed up for my first Met Gala with a flawless beat courtesy of Black Opal Beauty. From start to finish, my entire look was brought to life using their amazing products, designed specifically to enhance and celebrate melanin-rich skin.
To bring some warmth and glow to my cheeks, she used the Bleaux Blush Stick—just the right touch of color to accentuate my features. We finished everything off with Champagne Life Lip Gloss, which added the perfect glossy shine for a polished, camera-ready look.
If you loved my glam as much as I did, you can shop the full look now at blackopalbeauty.com.
Thank you to Black Opal for helping me feel confident, radiant, and Met Gala-ready!
The cat is finally out the bag, and Rihanna is officially expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky. The ‘Fenty Beauty‘ founder debuted her baby bump on the Met Gala red carpet last night, leaving fans in awe. She transitioned from her Marc Jacobs ensemble into an all black Ann Demeulemeester look for the after-party.
On Fashion Bomb daily Instagram page, @atmluestore wrote “we’re in the open belly trimester😍,” while @Thatbeething commented, “It’s twin girls. I just know it. We are getting nieces ya’ll!“😂
Many people have speculated that Rihanna is pregnant, considering that every time she has recently stepped out for an event, she has worn baggy clothes and loose silhouettes. In true Rihanna fashion, she revealed her pregnancy in the most extravagant way.
Now that she no longer has to be discreet, you can see a sense of relief on the Barbadian princess face. Her black Ann Demeulemeestermonochromatic ensemble consisted a ruffled silk open top layered with a satin blazer, and skirt that had leather detailing. She accessorized with a black lace drag, a beautiful diamond necklace, and studded earrings. Her diamond rings makes us question whether she and A$AP have secretly tied the knot. She complete her look with black lace Louboutins that were the perfect shoe candy.
We can’t way to see how Rihanna flaunts her pregnancy because we all know that when it comes to maternity fashion, she one of the best to do it!
Teyana Taylor’s hairstylist Lateafa Alvaranga will be crafting a memorable, polished and camera-ready look for the 2025 MET Gala, using a variety of Shea Moisture products to elevate her glam.
“I am excited to be here, and I am even more excited that I’m using Shea Moisture to put this look together for Teyana,” shared Alvaranga. “Today’s inspiration is from an event we did in Los Angeles called “The 15 Percent Pledge.” Similarly, we’ll be doing finger waves to enhance her natural features and show how beautiful she is.”

The Shea Moisture curl mousse will allow Teyana’s stylist to perfect her finger waves, while the Shea Moisture defining and styling gel, will make for a super strong hold. “Shea Moisture is overall a good product, and with these products we’ll be making sure her curls are defined, the hair is holding, and there’s shine as usual because I want to give a fresh hydrated luxury look on the red carpet.”
Teyana Taylor hairstyle will break the mold and set a new standard at this year’s Met Gala. She’s bound to make an unforgettable entrance with her clean and defined finger waves styled Lateafa using Shea Moisture. “I’m going to give it thumbs up all across the board…Shea Moisture is the bomb!” concluded Alvaranga.
Tina Knowlesis more than a conqueror, and officially a New York Times Bestseller with her autobiography book “Matriarch” which she discussed alongside First Lady, Michelle Obama yesterday evening at MGM National Harbor Theater in Washington, DC.
To kick off her book tour in the most fashionable way, Tina arrived with her southern charm on full display in a Tony Ward gown. With an asymmetrical silhouette and a two-tone design, Tina’s dress featured a solid black fabric on one side, and a rhinestone embellished fabric on the opposite. She accessorized with long black sheer gloves, a diamond bracelet and statement earrings, showcasing her enduring passion for fashion.
Michelle Obama also showed up with her A-game to host the discussion in a black Alexander Mcqueen suit that had satin lapels and reigned supreme. She kept things monochromatic with black stiletto pumps, and offered a youthful element with silver rings, and bold modern earrings.
Obama’s long micro braids were styled into a high fishtail braid for a playful and unexpected finish to an elegant ensemble. On our Instagram page, @pursiaofficial wrote, “That suit is Tailored honey! I want to be like her when I grow up lol.“
Tina was transparent, and opened up to Michelle Obama about the up’s and downs of her life journey, and how she was able to pivot and become the powerful matriarch that she is today.
In a caption posted to her Instagram page, Tina shared “I have always been a storyteller, and it’s something I learned from my mother. When I had a family of my own, I believed that my daughters needed to know where they came from in order to know where they were going. I’m now ready to share my story with all of you, so that we can all celebrate these themes of strength, motherhood, Black pride, and identity.”
For a light moment to end the evening, the duo did the “Boots On The Ground” dance on stage, showcasing their smooth dance moves as virtual guests like Beyonce, Solange, Kelly Rowland and Oprah Winfrey congratulated and cheered them on.
Tina Knowles memoir launch event was a delightful experience, and both her and Michelle Obama exuded confidence, prestige and black excellence. If this is a glimpse of what’s to come on Tina’s book tour, we can’t wait to attend.

Beyoncé is back and bigger than ever. The global icon kicked off her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour with a family affair that turned the stage and the front row into a high-fashion spectacle. Queen Bey was joined by daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, who proved that style runs deep in the Carter bloodline. From glittering fringe to luxe leather, the trio brought modern Western glam to life in pieces by Burberry, Diesel, Roberto Cavalli, and more.
Taking center stage in a reimagined cowboy aesthetic, Beyoncé wore a custom Burberry look that married Southern roots with couture edge. The ensemble featured dramatic fringe, structured tailoring, and a statement hat that set the tone for the tour’s bold fashion direction. With every strut and note, Bey reminded us that Cowboy Carter isn’t just an album—it’s a movement, and she’s leading it in style.
Meanwhile, Blue Ivy, already a fashion darling in her own right, showed off her dance moves in a newspaper Diesel look that balanced cool-girl energy with youthfulness. Her outfit featured cut out letters that nodded to her mom’s influence while asserting her own sartorial point of view.
Beyonce shimmered on stage in custom Roberto Cavalli:
From mother-daughter twinning moments to bold fashion statements, the opening night of Cowboy Carter was a visual feast, styled by Shiona Turini and Ty Hunter. The Carters didn’t just wear the looks—they embodied the energy of a new era. One thing’s for sure: if this is just night one, we’re in for a wild, fashion-filled ride.
It feels like North West grew up overnight, as the 11-year old is now standing taller than her mom Kim Kardashian.
Paparazzi captured the mother and daughter duo leaving PureLux Scalp Spa in Los Angeles over the weekend, donning matching pink Victoria Secret pajamas.
North looked comfortable as she stepped out in her cheetah print bonnet and black Balenciaga fur slippers while Kim kept things chic, layering her PJ’s with a black leather trench.
Originally retailing for $79.95, the Victoria Secret Modal Soft Long pajama set they wore is a customer favorite and comes with drawstring pants for the perfect tucked in look. With a buttery feel, and a good amount of stretch, these may just be the best jammies on the market.
Of course, there were a few mixed reviews about Kim and North wearing pajamas in public, but under the circumstances of a spa day, we totally get it. Nonetheless our Fashion Bomb readers didn’t take the fifth.
@jessmenardy wrote “As a Haitian I do not approve this attire. Pajamas are for inside. This has me so stressed😂.” Contrary, @Keepingupwithhrosie shared, “😂I love how Kim lets her kids express themselves and not worry about opinions this was so cute…💕”
Back in the day, stepping out in pajamas may have been considered a fashion crime, however in 2025, sleepwear has become a very prominent trend. We say more power to Kim and North, and perhaps their best accessory was their confidence.
