Happy Thursday, Bombers and Bombshells! It may be freezing outside, but the looks from our Instagram feed today have been HOT! The celebrities are not letting the cold weather stop them from looking bomb. Fashion Bomb Daily always covers the best celebrity looks, so be sure to tune in to the Instagram feed for all of today’s looks! On the other hand, let’s take a look at today’s Top 5 Looks Of The Day which features Tracee Ellis Ross, Cardi B, Jackie Aina, and more!
I completed with Gucci oversized frames from Eyechic Philly–it just so happens my Calpak carry on matched my coat, so I got an unassuming man in the middle of a meal and movie in the terminal to snap the above pic and voila.
Because I own a fashion brand, and have run into readers and past/future business partners alike in the airport, I always try to dress the part. In the past, I have worn heels, boots, and all sorts of nonsense, but my feet swell, so I decided that it will always be about sneakers and just something easy.
Of course, we’ve all seen a range of outfit options at the airport, from those who go for super comfort (think pajamas, blankets, bonnets, and pillows):
To stylish…
To looks that strike a nice balance:
Where do you fall when it comes to your airport look? Style? Comfort? Or a little bit of both?
Today’s Fashion Bombshell of the day is Regan from NYC.
She writes, “I would describe my style as Casual chic with a hint of Tomboy sexy if you will. I like to let women know it doesn’t have to be tight to be sexy. Don’t get me wrong, I love form fitting clothes as well but I like to change it up.”

Love the classy and minimal looks. We see you!

Happy Wednesday, folks!
I just got back from a quick but beautiful trip in sunny LA, and on my flight back home, I tuned in to the Tyler Perry comedy Nobody’s Fool, starring Tiffany Haddish, Tika Sumpter, Amber Riley, and Omari Hardwick.
While the film was amusing, I was most intrigued by the style of Tika Sumpter’s character Danika, a fashionable ad exec. Leaning on a palette of blacks and grays, Tika managed to look corporate and sexy, mixing authority with style. I was lucky to have the chance to chat with Nobody’s Fool Costumer Designer, Crystal Hayslett, to talk about her process of creating the look for Danika’s character (and also how she nabbed such a dope job)!
About her gig, she said, “I started at the bottom. I was a production assistant for Tyler Perry Studios. I was answering phone calls, running errands, going to get breakfast for the designers, doing returns, and basically doing all the grunt work that production assistants do. I started by dressing background characters, and that’s where I really got more of an understanding of how sets work and learned a lot of the fundamentals of being on set. From there I became a key costumer and that’s when I started dressing main cast members. Mr. Perry saw my work ethic. I got a call one summer when we were off and the President of the Studio called and said Mr. Perry asked if I could be their costume designer. That was in 2015 (and I haven’t looked back).”
For those looking to do a similar job, Hayseltt offers, “Go to school for fashion, work in retail. I had a background in retail and I was a public relations major. I knew how to talk to people and how to dress people. It’s important to know how to make people comfortable and trust you when it comes to your ideas. Once you have that background, then network. People hit me all the time on Instagram. I’ll give people internships or if I see they have a great background, I’ll give them a job. But really, it’s important to network and know the right people.”
Now, let’s talk about Tika Sumpter in Nobody’s Fool! Hayseltt says, “Tika is not a hard actress to dress. For her character, she is dressed in New York. New York is dark, people where dark colors, nothing too bright. I wanted her to be very chic. I wanted nice silhouettes and things that made her look good, still with some type of sex appeal as a working woman.”
She continues, “I try to design for the every day working woman. I want them to look on the screen and say, “I can buy that,’ and know it’s not outrageously priced. Brands we used included Zara, Bloomingdales, Madewell, mixed in with some pieces from Saks and Neiman.”
If you’re looking for the perfect corporate chic look, Hayslett offers, “Every woman needs a nice pencil skirt, good stiletto heels, and a nice turtleneck. A style dresses, sheath dresses, peacoat or overcoat, handbags are the woman’s statement piece. Handbag and shoes are the pieces that make a statement. Jewelry is also something important in bringing it together. Find pieces that go with everything.”
And her favorite look from the film? “A light pink pencil skirt with a big bow by Ted Baker. She wore a pair of Christian Louboutins with it and a fitted turtleneck from Nordstrom. One of my favorites. It was such a statement piece. It has a big bow, but it was still subtle and powerful”
Alright! Be sure to follow Crystal at @LuvCrystalRenee and if you haven’t watched Nobody’s Fool, The DVD is available on digital now and comes out on Blu-Ray February 12th. Check out the trailer below:

So there are a slew of bomb business women who have decided to ditch the sleet and snow of New York and move over to sunny LA. This past Saturday, I, along with many others, celebrated two of those women: Blue Flame SVP Erin Harris and Google’s Global Head of Women & Black Community Engagement, Valeisha Butterfield Jones.
The brunch, sponsored by Ciroc, welcomed dozens of women who have it all: Style, Brains, and Beauty to match. With the help of photographer Maya Ayanna Darasaw, I was able to capture just a few. Take a look:
Executive Claudine Joseph looked vibrant in a floral dress, Gucci sneakers, and a Hermes Birkin bag.
The beautiful KJ Rose paired jeans with a draped top and dainty gold jewelry.
Marketing powerhouse and entrepreneur Karen Civil looked chic in a Balenciaga sweater, leather skirt, and Givenchy boots.
Stylist and Designer Tameka Foster opted for a flirty skirt and a matching printed bag.
And Spirits executive Alisa Jacobs looked bomb in a yellow wrap dress, equipped with a slit.
As for me, I’ve been having a bit of a fashion emergency due to a confluence of factors, but I pulled it together with Sophia Webster Chiara heels and a simple dress from House of CB.
It was a fun time!
And now I’m inspired (yet again) to take the leap and venture out West.
What do you think? Could you see FBD and Claire in Cali?
She writes, “In one word I would define my style as being “Unscripted.” I dress according to my mood.”
