You ask, we answer! @ashashmb writes, “We need the details on this cute white outfit.”
#KenyaMoore was spotted wearing a $79.99 Ivory Set by J Lux the Label. The top ties at the front and has an elastic back, and the matching pants have a high waisted, wide leg cut, and an elastic waistband.
This is a great look–and affordable to boot.
Thoughts?
Many of you DM’ed me excitedly last night to tell me that you had seen my stunned face on a recent episode of Basketball Wives. In case ya missed me, relive the magic below:
Some of you may remember a few months ago, when I spent 24 hours in LA! Fashion Bomb Daily was actually a media partner for Jennifer Williams’s Classy Girl Wardrobe event, which was a shopping event in support of breast cancer charity Not Just October held at a bomb boutique called Beverly Muse. The initiative struck a chord for me because my mom overcame breast cancer. I was super excited because I love Basketball Wives! It’s entertaining and the fashion is always on point. Get into the Balmain, Versace, Balenciaga, Burberry, Christian Cowan drip below:
Bonus, Jennifer Williams, Evelyn Lozada, Malaysia Pargo and honestly all the ladies are sweethearts.
My experience was more like the below:
Overall the party was fun and for a great cause. It was in the midst of speeches at the end that we realized that Jackie was causing a ruckus outside, at which point I made my exit.
Say what you want, VH1 shows are entertaining. And the Basketball Wives have great style!
A show about women working fashion would be a dope concept, as well, no?
To have us cover your next event, email bookclairesulmers@gmail.com (the Getty photographer they were talking about, Robin Lori, was also working for FBD!). And get my Claire Jeans at FashionBombDailyShop.com. My jacket is from Jennifer William’s store ClassyGirlWardrobe.com.

It is with sadness and heavy hearts we report the passing of Dapper Afrika, an industry fixture, stylist, and artist.
A self professed “Wardrobe Icon,” Dapper Afrika’s unique style sensibility was hard to miss at industry events like New York Fashion Week. His ensembles invariably mixed African prints with bold accessories like bracelets, necklaces, and hats.
More than his sartorial flair, Dapper Afrika will be remembered for his sweet spirit and positive energy. In an industry that can be cutthroat, Afrika was always kind. In a word full of conformists, he was one of a kind. He will be missed.
During his career he contributed several editorials to Fashion Bomb Daily, featuring Tweet, stylist Joiee Davis, and more. Please reflect upon his life and legacy through the photos below:
His family is accepting donations for his home going service. Contribute here.
See a performance below:
May he rest in peace.
Angela Simmons knows what works for her body, and that’s what makes her style so effortless. While on her leisure, she opted for Fashion Nova’s ‘Serving Looks’ Lounge set, and such a name is so fitting. For a bright sunny day, you can’t go wrong with all white with some fresh kicks. Did we mention how trendy polyester is especially for athleisure wear? It comes as a two piece set (Jacket and Joggers), with mesh and buckets details. I think this look is a go! Snag yours here for $60, Bombshells.
Today’s Bomb Product Of The Day is a pair of comfy flats with intricate designs that are “hand-crafted, hand-carved, and absolutely one-of-a-kind“: the Mochiis carved flat shoe!

The shoe is made of 100% soft leather to offer a luxurious feel with a padded insole and gel arch support for comfort and durability. Mochiis’ carved flats are the perfect day-to-night flat as they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

Jenny Lin has the kind of style worth raving over any day; there’s no doubt about it. And best of all, she snags the most Bomb pieces you Bombshells can get your hands on, too! Let’s get into how dope this all black outfit is, that’s a cross between sporty and chic. We’re loving how she aimed for a sleek heel to elevate her look even further, as if these Fashion Nova ‘Fearless Cargo Joggers’ weren’t enough. For your convenience and style, there’s two front and back pockets with cool cargo details, and is stretch twill that can hug any shape nicely. Convinced? Snags yours here!

Afropunk’s annual festival went down over the weekend, showcasing Black resilience and resistance through fashion, music, and art! Every year, Black festival goers show what punk means to them through their creative outfits, beauty looks, and eccentric hairstyles. We’ve rounded up 10 creative hairstyles from Brooklyn’s 2019 Afropunk festival that we can’t get over!
Antoinette Henry took the typical festival flower crown to the next level with this custom headpiece by YIREKNKYI.
Nothing gets more Afropunk than braids forming the continent of Africa as spotted on Tasha aka @theblackrogue.
Lisa Hurley (@happyhappyphoenix) unlocked her inner Queen status with a custom look by Jen Nollaig!
Tushiya aka @naturalettet gave us modern day Joan of Arc vibes with an edgy chainmail look!
Ntombi (@ntombimoyo) truly stepped outside the box and gave us a taste of color with a punk hairstyle. This screams Camp!
Mila Koren (@milakoren) showed us how to spice us the bald look by adorning her head in pearls!
@kazejewelz gave us a taste of true African culture with her flower petal braid hairstyle which was executed and adorned by @ancestralstrands.
Head wraps can take a look from a 0 to 10, but a festival goer showed us that there is no limit to what you can do with a head wrap. She dressed it up with flowers and tulle for an even more show-stopping style.
@bellelongueur got in touch with her natural, earthy side by adding an array of butterflies to her twists which she put in a bun.
We’ve been seeing the pom pom ponytails everywhere lately, but never this long and colorful! @theyluv_thakid rocked two ombre colored pom-pom ponytails while attending Afropunk.
Sarah aka @saraiigabrielle combined two hairstyles into one creative masterpiece which formed a space bun mohawk adorned with silver barrettes.
Assina aka @assina_dreams gave us all kinds of Afrocentric vibes with her look!
Would you rock any of these bold styles?
