Basketball player Amari Bailey’s mother, Johanna Leia, has been the talk of the internet since her date with Drake, where the rapper rented out Dodger Stadium for the two to have a romantic date. However, Leia caught our eye with her style as she regularly graces the ‘gram in stylish looks, flaunting her curvy figure. She was recently spotted rocking a casual look that featured a white crop top and bubblegum pink vinyl pants from Fashion Nova.
Johanna Leia wore Fashion Nova’s $49.99 Late Night Texts Vinyl Pants. While Leia wore the pant’s pink pair, the piece also comes in black and red. Matched with its pink color and vinyl feel, the pants are the ultimately statement piece to set off any look. The pants feature a high waist detail as well as zipper-and-button closure. Leia rocked the pants with a white sleeveless crop top, accessorized with a white quilted Chanel bag and PVC mules. She opted for a sleek bun for her hairstyle of choice.
For styling, keep it casual yet significant: let the pants be the conversation piece! Opt for a solid black or white top paired with a neutral handbag and heeled sandals for a look.

Trailblazing designer Kerby Jean Raymond opted to have press and supporters shuttled to Irvington, New York for his first Couture show. The location was set at Villa Lewaro, the historic home of black beauty pioneer, Madam CJ Walker, the first female self made millionaire (read more about her here). Her mansion, Villa Lewaro, was built in 1918 by Vertner Tandy, the Co-Founder of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Madam Walker built the mansion to stand as a tribute to the advancements of African-Americans, and to act as a pillar of inspiration for future generations.
Anticipation and excitement were high, as this was one of the first fashion events to happen since quarantine almost two years ago. The fashion crowd, accustomed to comparatively less exciting venues, were grouped together like kids headed to camp, off to a fantastic adventure. Suddenly, just as guests arrived at 2pm, the skies opened, and it started to rain–relentlessly.
Initially, guests weathered the storm, sitting underneath white umbrellas and ponchos, provided by the Pyer Moss team. When the thunder and lightning started, everyone ran for shelter, with many huddling on Walker’s massive, white columned porch, leading to an intimate experience. Celebrity Stylist Law Roach, Reporter Teri Agins, Iconic Designer Byron Lars, and more, rubbed elbows with Madam CJ Walkers great-great granddaughter, Alelia Bundles.
Logan Browning, of Dear White People, said, “This is a first, making history. I personally love that the line, the team…Watching them win feels very specific, but like it includes all of us. Being here, I feel comfortable. I’ve been to other shows and had a good time. But the atmosphere, the community I think, is unique and special.”
Byron Lars added, “Usually when something this seismic happens, it’s because something equally as seismic that is fabulous is about to follow. I am rooting him on. Go Kerby. I love that there’s a message in everything. It’s not just about fashion. His message today: Persevere.”
Finally fashion reporter Teri Agins told Fashion Bomb Daily, “He’s got an incredible sense of show. We’re here at Madam CJ Walker’s mansion. Just think if these walls could talk: Just think who was probably here. Zora Neale Hurston. Langston Hughes. All these people were here, partying at one point. “
After many false starts and intermissions, which included a rousing speech by former Black Panther Party chairwoman Elaine Browne, the party truly began as the skies cleared up, and dancing, eating, and drinking ensued, set to the sounds of DJ Clark Kent. In the tradition of Walker’s parties with Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, Villa Lewero’s new owner, Rich Dennis, mingled with those making history today, including Biggs Burke, Saint Jhn, Yvette Noel-Schure, Sergio Hudson, Justine Skye, Aoki Lee Simmons, and many more.
Raymond greeted his fans once the show was officially postponed. He seemed in good spirits, attesting to feeling “Amazing,” and intimating that only good would result after this.
Part 2 is set for Saturday , though no details have been released as yet. Either way, history was made.

Breast augmentation is the surgical procedure for improving the appearance of your breasts through specific techniques. This surgery results in fuller breasts and an enhanced bust line.
If you were used to wearing fitting clothes before breast augmentation surgery, especially around the bust line, you might need to rethink your wardrobe. Your bust line is now fuller, and your self-esteem and confidence are at the top bar.
Moreover, after a breast augmentation, your body is now curvier, and this means you’ll also need to get yourself a wardrobe that suits it well.
And while it may take a few weeks for the body to heal completely and to allow your breasts to drop to their desired position, it’s never wrong to start shopping early. After all, you’ll want to flaunt your new look as soon as you can.
Listed below are some of the fashion styles to up your game after a breast augmentation.
Brassier
One of the things that you might throw away after breast augmentation is your collection of previous bras. This is because these bras will not provide coverage and support anymore since your breasts are now fuller. So, when shopping for your new wardrobe, ensure you get the right and fitting bra that’s neither too big nor too small.
When choosing a bra after breast implants, ensure you consider comfort, size, and support. However, don’t buy too many bras in the first few months, as swelling may still be prevalent and the actual size is not yet realized.
Bathing suits
Buying bathing suits with augmented breasts can be challenging. Women with bigger breasts need to consider a few things. For instance, they have to ensure the swimsuits they get provide both support and coverage. For example, the halter top style is a style women with augmented dress may consider. It is flattering and provides both support and coverage.
Tops and dresses
When buying tops, cardigans, and dresses after dress augmentation, it is essential to consider the neckline of every garment. While a V-neck might slim you down and showcase your new décolletage, it may be too provocative for some offices. On the other hand, a cowl neck is flattering and might be a good option for a professional outfit. Additionally, you can consider a square neckline, which can provide a positive but not too provocative look compared to a V-neck. Additionally, cardigans with a low front fastening and one button below the breast appear sophisticated and elegant, as do jackets with a single button below the chest. Therefore, it is necessary to identify a style that fits you after an augmented breast.
In conclusion, breast augmentation improves one’s self-confidence and esteem. Therefore women should enjoy changing their wardrobe game and look ahead to switching up their fashion style to fit their new body.
