Both ladies who are known for their extraordinary work in the entertainment industry, continue to age gracefully, maintaining their radiant and youthful appearance.
King, who is often praised for her timeless beauty opted for a plunging white suit that was adorned with a gold lock button. She looked refined, and classy as she posed in front of paparazzi with her knotless braids pulled back and a subtle smize on her face.
Keeping her accessories to a minimum, she wore a gold pendant necklace and matching hoop earrings that added the perfect touch of elegance to her ensemble. She also donned Schiaparelli’s Anatomy Jewlery mini bag in amber leather with crocodile-effect embossing that featured the brand’s signature anatomical jewels forming a trompe-l’œil face
Serving as the yin, to Kings yang metaphorically, Gabrielle Union opted for an all-black off-the-shoulder Schiaparelli gown that had sheer panels showcasing her sexy physique. She layered her dress with an elongated black blazer that had ruching down the sleeves and gold buttons.
It wasn’t just Gabby’s stunning attire that turned heads in front of the Petit Palais, but also her strikingly beautiful asymmetrical bob haircut that added the perfect amount of edge and drama to keep the people talking.
If it wasn’t for Schiaparelli’s exquisite collection, Regina King and Gabrielle Union would have practically stolen the show based off of how sensational they looked. We love how both of their styles differed from each other yet were so flattering and complimentary.
‘Popiana Princess’ Tyla was captured at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week attending Jacquemus Fall 2025 runway show and she looked sizzling haute.
The show marked the return of French fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus since January 2020. Entitled, “La Croisière,” Jacquemus collection was inspired by French couture, and the 1950’s reimagined.
The show was held inside the Art Deco apartment of Auguste Perret, a renowned French architect. We saw a multiply of A-list celebrities paint the scene. From Tyla and the iconic Anna Wintour sitting front row, to Pamela Anderson, Tems, and Odell Beckham all in attendance, Jacquemus brought out a slew of celebs during his returning debut.
On Fashion Bomb daily’s Instagram page, @eric_thatboyy wrote, “She sat next to Anna?? Oh she’s the next September cover girl!!!🙌.” @oldscoolt also shared, “Anna smiling is a plus!!!”
Despite low temperatures, Tyla showed up baring it all in a black Jacquemus naked dress that was sultry and modern and had deep plunge cut-outs down the sides. The back of her halter gown draped beautifully below her sewn in thong-style brief. Her Jacquemus ‘Cubisto’ pointed-toe leather slingback heels were on trend and complimentary to her fabulous ensemble.
Tyla embraced her soft curls for the special occasion, and kept her glam neutral, highlighting her natural beauty. Her black and white crystal embellished earrings were the perfect accent piece to leave a lasting impression.
It was great to see Jacquemus return to the fashion industry with celebrities like Tyla and Tems rallying behind the French designer. Tyla showed off her South African flair and global appeal, and exuded so much magnetism that even the Bellhops couldn’t take their eyes off her.

The Houston Native who isn’t one to shy away from crop tops and daisy dukes, wore her first couture gown Monday at the Giambattista Valli SS25 Couture show –and she looked brilliant.
In an interview with WWD while sitting front row, the ‘Hot Girl’ rapper shared “This is my first couture moment. Oh my gosh! It took only two tries for me to try it on. I learned that couture is handmade and made for the really exclusive and I feel really beautiful.”
Haute Couture begin in 1858 by Charles Frederick Worth and was reserved for the top 1% who wore one-of-kind handmade garments. Gatekeepers ensured exclusivity through invitation only. Many minorities didn’t fall within that social class and therefore weren’t given the opportunity to wear high-end fashion designs. To see Megan in a Giambattista Valli haute couture gown was truly a win for black women everywhere.
Meg’s stylist Eric Archibald is the mastermind behind this stunning citrus look by Giambattista Valli. Her apricot-colored hooded chiffon dress draped perfectly around her body and was characterized with feather detailing at her waist.
On our Instagram page, @m.d._walker shared, “It’s giving vintage European beauty. Like having tea while looking out in the Parisian countryside in Springtime.”
When it came down to Megan’s glam, make-up artist Priscilla Ono ate and left no crumbs. In addition to celebrity hairstylist Kellon Deryck who laid his anointed hands-on Meg’s head.
Her kiss curls on her forehead reminded us of how the legendary French singer and dancer Josephine Baker wore her hair during her performative years.
Fans and media outlets alike couldn’t get enough of incredible Megan looked and perhaps her best accessory was her confidence.
@Prettyeeer writes, ” It’s the ginger and jacket for me!!! Deets on the good Sis jacket, please!” Leave it to Fashion Bomb daily to answer your fashion inquiries in the nick of time.
Opting for a casually chic look with a black cropped top and light blue denim jeans, KeKe effortlessly embodied glamour. Her auburn hair was laid to perfection, enhancing her milk chocolate complexion and almond shape eyes.
The $15,231 Schiaparelli biker jacket that Keke donned is made from a smooth black leather and has a removable tan shearling collar. The quilting detailing on her jacket adds a nice texture, and the jewel belt buckle give her biker jacket the perfect luxe factor.
Keke Palmer is becoming one of our favorite fashionistas, and we love seeing her glow up. We also appreciate the element of class and modesty that comes with her interchangeable style.
Fashion Bomb reader @cocohippie shared, “I’d have to be outside 24 straight hours in this outfit 😂 this is too fly,” while @roxanne_star expressed, “Whoever has been styling her lately needs a raise. But $15k for this crop jacket 😮💨.”
With her latest movie “One of Them Days” being a breakout hit in theaters; we know that 2025 is bound to have great things in store for Keke Palmer and we can’t wait to see it!
Rick Owens is taking luxury footwear to the next level, and during his Fall 2025 show in Paris, the Los Angeles native debuted his new ‘Kiss Boots’ in collaboration with Parisian designer Victor Clavelly.
The boots which have quickly garnered the attention of the masses, are futuristic and thought-provoking which seems to be on brand for the American designer who often challenges the status quo.
As models strutted down the runway at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris on Thursday, it was evident to see the surplus of innovative shoe styles that came in different shapes and silhouettes.
These particular white feather-like boots were made from a heavyweight Groppone cow leather, and laser cut and woven together to create a chain linked effect. Victor Clavelly who is known for his exceptional 3-D designs, strategically placed the leather of the shoe to resemble feathers.
When these boots hit social media, we saw a lot of mixed reviews. On Fashion Bomb daily Instagram page, @lockandkiy commented, “I know Lenny Kravitz will pull these off right,” while @tiffanyedent shared, “Nah… some things should remain conceptual cause where are you wearing these things to? Great for a futuristic movie maybe.”
Whether you love or hate these boots, one thing you can’t deny is how original and modern they are. In fact, we applaud Rick Owens and Victor Clavelly for shaking things up a bit!
Brrr…we hear it’s cold in the atmosphere and what better way to keep cozy than in a chic Balenciaga faux fur coat?
Cardi B, Monica and Serena Williams have all been captured rocking the electric blue $7,500 Balenciaga statement coat on different occasions.
The Spanish luxury fashion house that’s headquarter in Paris is known for their fashion-forward designs, and this fur maxi coat is no exception.
Made in Italy and 100% polyester, the coat is characterized with notched lapels, and an open front. While we love a tried-and-true mink coat, like the ones found at the Fur and Leather Centre, we also appreciate eco-friendly alternative styles like this Balenciaga coat.
If you recall, Cardi B was the first to be captured in this head-turning piece at Balenciaga’s Los Angeles fashion show back in Dec 2023. The ‘Enough’ rapper strutted down South Windsor Boulevard in the edgy coat styled with Balenciaga’s black signature Knife over-the-knee boots.
Along with Cardi B, legendary retired tennis star Serena Williams was also photographed in the bright hued coat during their Paris Fashion Week show in March 2024. She paired her coat with a black strapless mini dress, and black stockings with pointy-toe stilettos.
Her blonde curly hair was pinned in a updo, showcasing her silver statement necklace and earrings that were over the top. Serena’s black rectangular Balenciaga shades felt on brand, and we ultimately thought she carried this look well.
In addition to Cardi B, and Serena Williams, Monica also showed off her personal flare in the faux-fur number. While stepping out with her beau Anthony Wilson, who is a TV producer and talent manager, Monica looked incredible in her navy-blue body suit.
From her middle-part buss down, to her glamorous make-up, and Dolce & Gabbana embellished accessories, Monica definitely gave the other contenders a run for their money.
Her multicolor Dolce & Gabbana $20,600 boots and matching $13,400 handbag were a fabulous contrast to her blue monochromatic ensemble.
We love how Cardi B, Serena Williams and Monica we’re each able to effortlessly pull off this statement coat. From the bold hue to the exaggerated sleeves, this coat simply screams iconic.
If you had to choose, who do you think wore it best?
Psalmy Exclusive is making waves in the Nigerian fashion scene, bringing a fresh take on contemporary menswear by blending modern styles with rich Nigerian cultural influences. Founded and led by Creative Director Samuel Awonuga, the brand proudly represents Nigeria—a vibrant global center of creativity and innovation. This analysis explores the brand’s latest collection, assesses its growing global influence, and investigates its potential to reshape luxury fashion on an international scale.
Psalmy Exclusive’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, aptly named “Bold Edge,” made waves at Men’s Fashion Week Nigeria. The collection brilliantly reflects the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, with bold colors, intricate patterns, and innovative textures inspired by Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage. Standout pieces, like the black velvet tuxedo adorned with bead embroidery and a peak lapel, showcase the designer’s talent for blending traditional elegance with modern style. However, while the tuxedo makes a statement, it could benefit from more refined detailing to fully align with the standards of international luxury couture.
The collection’s bold use of Afrocentric color-blocking, like a striking plaid tuxedo jacket paired with wide-leg trousers, pushes creative boundaries and makes a strong statement. However, this avant-garde approach can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, highlighting a need for a more cohesive and streamlined styling direction. The asymmetrical cutouts in several pieces exude confidence and sophistication, but to fully convey the designer’s intent, greater consistency in execution would be needed.
Psalmy Exclusive’s journey reflects a brand on the rise. Its appearances at high-profile events like Africa Fashion Week London and Men’s Fashion Week Nigeria have cemented its position as a notable name in the African fashion scene. Collaborations with celebrities such as actor and model Abayomi Alvin underscore the brand’s appeal. These milestones are complemented by a commitment to sustainability, a core tenet of Awonuga’s vision. By incorporating eco-friendly practices alongside bold Nigerian aesthetics, Psalmy Exclusive is aligning itself with global trends in ethical fashion.
While the brand’s local success is clear, breaking into international markets will require a more strategic approach. The “Bold Edge” collection showcases impressive design rooted in Nigerian heritage, but it needs to strike a balance with global luxury standards to appeal to a wider audience. Focusing on advanced production techniques and using premium materials could help take the brand’s creations to the next level.
There are clear signs that expanding into womenswear could be a great opportunity for Psalmy Exclusive. This move would not only highlight the brand’s versatility but also strengthen its presence in different markets, helping to solidify its unique position in the global fashion scene. However, such a move demands meticulous planning to maintain coherence in design philosophy and market positioning.
To compete with established luxury fashion houses, Psalmy Exclusive must hone its storytelling, ensuring its collections resonate with both local and global audiences. The brand’s use of Nigerian aesthetics is laudable, but innovation beyond local trends will be crucial for sustained international success. Partnering with international stylists, fashion critics, and publications could help boost the brand’s visibility and credibility on a global scale.
Psalmy Exclusive’s “Bold Edge” collection showcases its potential to lead the way in contemporary African fashion. By refining its craftsmanship, creating a more cohesive narrative, and aligning with global market trends, the brand is well on its way to making a strong impact in the international luxury fashion scene.
