Last night, we witnessed MTV’s annual Video Music Award ceremony with all of the hottest chart-topping artists, celebrities, and more in the building! Missy Elliot delivered an epic performance, further solidifying her worthiness of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Winners included Lil Nas X, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Normani who all took home a Moon Man trophy for their musical achievements. Also. Marc Jacobs was awarded with MTV’s first ever Fashion Trailblazer Award!
Speaking of fashion, you know we are still in awe over the bomb red carpet looks! From Queen Latifah to Keke Palmer, we’ve rounded up the top ten looks from the night based on your engagements on Instagram:
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!

Nothing gets more Afropunk than braids forming the continent of Africa as spotted on Tasha aka @theblackrogue.
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.
Amara La Negra always keeps it hot when it comes to her looks and style. She recently posed on Instagram in chic look, featuring an animal print Fashion Nova bodysuit and we have details on how to secure this bodysuit!
Amara was on the prowl Fashion Nova’s $29.99 “Catch The Vibe” bodysuit! This bodysuit comes in a trendy animal print along with a plunging neckline, making it a sexy wardrobe must-have! Pair with a pair of nude pants like Amara or white pants like the Fashion Nova model and you’ve got a bomb day party or brunch look.
If there’s nothing we can appreciate more than a Bomb Product to rock in fashion, it’s how versatile an outfit can be made with the same piece! For a special shoot with our Bombshell of a model Dajah Dorn, we showed three ways on how to wear these white distressed Rayar ‘Billionaire Jeans’! Get in to it below.
With Sai Sankoh’s ‘Nawara Goddess’ Kaftan, you’d be bright, bold and beautiful in a product most fitting for an End of the Summer engagement, or a sunny destination while the weather still suitable soak in. It’s hard not to rave over a the prints and colors that matches perfectly well with something simple and fresh feeling as white jeans.
For a night on the town, perhaps you want to keep it casual but still spice up your look with major texture, and patterns. Paired with Fashion Bomb Daily Shop’s NFW ‘Black Vogue’ Tee and India Monae’s Embellished Denim Jacket, you’re guaranteed a look!
Our third look is so simple, but we’re loving how much attention will be placed on the best thing that makes this outfit so trendy, still: those Jeans! You can never go wrong with all white especially when there’s good accents placed on the look to elevate it to another level. This look is definitely a go!
We’re feeling all three, of course. But tell us your favorite look you’d rock, Bombshells! Be sure to purchase more products from Fashionbombdailyshop!
In anticipation for Fall (well, some of us) there’s nothing like a comfy hoodie you can throw on, to block the cool, while still looking cool. Most Bombshells love to keep it simple with their clothing, but also keep it cute nonetheless, and Fashion Nova of course got you covered. Zonnique wore Fashion Nova’s ‘In My Dreams’ Camel Hoodie, and we’re loving how it’s paired with black pants and booties for a clean look. Snags yours for here for just $33, Bombshells!
Thanks to Normani’s new music video ‘Motivation’, the millennials had a field day being hit in the face with so much nostalgia for the Aughts. Such a time consisted of sweet memories especially in Hip-Hop and R&B, when our favorite mega superstars provided the glitz, swag, and fantasies of being the It girl and flyest guy. You know the Diva in center focus with her stunning background dancers in the latest fashion of Evisu Jeans, Vinyl material trousers, tube tops, low-rise waist jeans and belly rings. Not to mention the tantalizing R&B heartthrobs chasing behind the beautiful dream girl while crooning away in some fly gear. The 2000s placed a staple in fashion by supplying very daring choices of looks. But all in all, it provided visual magic on our TV screens with mini moments: music videos.
Aaliyah’s ‘More Than a Woman’ Directed by Dave Meyers – Who can forget the stunning visuals R&B singer and fashion icon Aaliyah wore in 2001 for video ‘More Than a Woman’. Director Dave Meyers, and herself came up with the concept of convincing her love interest, to a sickening Timbaland beat, to do it all in a moving motorcycle. Her stylist then, Derek Lee, was responsible for that white and silver Chanel catsuit we all wanted too! Including Aaliyah’s effortless tomboy swag in Dainese Motorcycle gear, and lastly her all black look inspired by a sex shop in LA, that was custom made by Joe LaGrand. How awesome!
Missy Elliott feat. Ludacris ‘Get UR Freak On’ Directed by Dave Meyers – When it comes to a visual provided by the legendary Missy Elliott, her iconic nature, powerful creativity and authenticity shines through and through. When Meyers created the concept with her, they opted for a Japanese underground feel that was leaky, heavily urban, and futuristic. Cameos were made by the 2000s Hip-Hop greats such as Busta Rhymes, Ja Rule and Ludacris which made the video even more epic! Of course we have to get into the mean smokey eye of Missy Elliott’s makeup look including the lipliner, denim bedazzled threads, and the baggy army fatigue fits! Not to mention Missy’s signature cut. Such swag was so 2000s!
Lil Kim – ‘No Matter What They Say’ Directed by Marcus Raboy – The Queen Bee completely sizzled with major latin spice with the help of stylist Misa Hylton in this music video! From cameos by her good friends Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott and Carmen Electra including many more starlets, to the various hair changes and custom made pieces, it was a fashionista’s dream. According to Misa Hylton, Lil Kim (whose name was so fitting) couldn’t fit most designer digs, so as a result Hylton had to get creative and got heavier into designing! With the help of her assistant Lonnie Barnes they were able to make Lil Kim’s “I Love New York Bustier”. And the metallic dress Lil Kim wore that was heavily inspired by old Hollywood Glam, and Dorthy Dandridge. There was even a Marie Antoinette homage included. How dope?!
Beyoncé’s feat. Jay Z ‘Crazy In Love’ Directed by Jake Nava – It had to be the strut heard around the world in 2003. Beyoncé in a shimmery silver tank, denim shorts paired with cherry red Slingback Pumps showcased effortless sex appeal by wearing less and serving so much more. According to the mega pop star, she wanted to create a moment similar to James Dean in just a simple white top and jeans styled by stylist extraordinaire Ty Hunter, for a staple ‘fit with it being her very first solo music video. It was also important to her that she wore something that everyone of her fans would be able to wear and make their own. But of course we can’t forget the incredible dance break in a Versace SS 2003 Color Block Dress. Stellar!
