Sha’Carri Richardson Debuted Custom Embellished Nails During the 2024 Olympics By Nail Extraordinaire Kelly Phan

Could Sha’Carri Richardson be the next Flo-Jo with her record-setting athleticism and unique sense of style? Possibly, and during the 2024 Olympics, her fashion-forward themed nails were on full display.

The track & field sprinter who is known for her flashy manicures, showcased her patriotism with coffin and stiletto nails, custom made by New York nail artist Kelly Phan.

Pham, who has been featured in Vogue Magazine, New York Magazine Harper’s Bazaar, and Allure, was specially sought out by Richardson to create a variety of press-on nail sets.

For the first set that Jacqueline created for the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony, she used the national colors red, white and blue to exhibit American pride. “I highlighted the set with an American flag, embellished french tips, and jewels” explained Phan.

In addition to coordinating with the US team, the nail extraordinaire also catered to Richardson’s personal style with a bright neon and colorful stiletto set for her 100M semi final. Her bedazzled out nails included handpicked beads and gemstones to reflect a mosaic design.

Kelly Phan’s passion for manicuring is quite evident through her whimsical and brilliant designs. Contrary to the second set that she made for Richardson, for her third set she kept things more understated with purple and lavender hues.

Richardson was captured with prayer hands before winning the silver medal in the 100M final, and her nail designs harmonized perfectly with USA’s track and field uniform colors.

For the last nail set that Phan custom made for Richardson, she went golden with a tiger like tip design that had gold studs outlining the nude base. The inspiration behind her final nail set was for Sha’Carri to win a gold medal which she did in the Women’s 4x100m Relay.

The gold medalist wore her fourth set at the Men’s Basketball Olympic Games Final between France and Team USA while sitting alongside Jimmy Fallon and Carmelo Anthony.

Kelly Phan has proven that she is an exceptional manicurist who is a force to be reckoned with. Each of the bejeweled nail design sets that she created for Sha’Carri Richardson were architectural, iconic and unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Bespoke Designer Waraire Boswell Passes Away at 48 Leaving His Mark on the Fashion Industry at Large

WARAIRE

A special innovator with an inimitable light, Bespoke designer Waraire Boswell has passed away at 48, leaving behind a legacy of excellency in the fashion industry.

Known for recreating the power suit and menswear for A-list celebrities and athletes like Jay-Z, Will Smith, Kanye West and LeBron James, Waraire was a transformative visionary, with an iconic history.

Born on September 29th, 1975 in Altadena, California, Boswell (nicknamed “BOZ”) passed away on July 31, 2024 due to a “private battle.” However, he didn’t leave this earthly realm without sharing his marvelous artistry.

In an Instagram post his family penned,

“In the midst of his battle, Waraire never allowed the circumstances to deter his design mission of creating the perfect wardrobe for clients to feel their best in their best moments. “Creating the perfect suit is ironically similar to life,” Waraire would say. “Ironic because nothing in life is perfect, but similar because you can control how it fits you.”

Prior to the onset of his career, the pioneering designer attended California State University, Northridge where he studied Radio and Television film. He would later go on to began his career at United Talent Agency and the William Morris Agency.

In pursuits of looking as poised and polished as his fellow counterparts, but struggling to find suits that fit his 6’7 body frame, BOZ begin designing his own suits which quickly gained the attention and popularity of his peers, and entertainment executives.

So much so that in 2002, the graceful giant created his namesake line the “WARAIRE BOSWELL” brand with custom, and ready-to-wear garments.

He used his entrepreneurial spirit and unique sensibility to tap into a specialized market catering to professional athletes of his stature including NBA stars like the late Kobe Bryant, Tristian Thompson and Kevin Durant. From tailor suits to sportswear, he always strived to make an impact for his clients around the globe.

His incredible attention to details and impeccable craftsmanship, gained him many accomplishments including being named the Mercedes Benz Classic designer of the year in 2005.

BOZ was also the mastermind behind McDonald’s major uniform makeover in 2017, after the fast-food chain sought out for him to spruce up their North America employees outfits.

In addition to partnering with companies like Nike, American Express, and Fear of God, Boswell’s work was also featured in major fashion publications such as Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair.

Waraire Boswell always looked at the world from an artist point of view. He found beauty in everything, and wasn’t afraid to think outside of the box.

Whether he used the finest spectrum of fabrics, or upcycled from a second hand store, BOZ used his innate knowledge and innovative techniques to perfectly design the functionality needs of each garment. His designs were monumental with immeasurable style and grace.

Boswell has undoubtedly left his mark on the fashion industry at large, creating a clear blueprint for others to follow suit.

He was one of one, a class act, a champion, who charted a new path and understood the power of his gifts. This was an unimaginable loss for many, and Wariare Boswell leaves behind a legacy of richness in mind, body and spirit.

He is survived by his wife Monica Boswell, and their two children, Miles and Mason, his mother, Ann Boswell, and his sister, Kasmin Boswell.

We send our deepest condolences to the Boswell family!

“Everyone born comes from the creator trailing wisps of glory. We come from the creator with creativity. I think that each one of us is born with creativity.“- Maya Angelou

Cardi B Was Spotted in New York City in a Blue Dior Top with $800 Deconstructed Acne Studio Baggy Jeans

Posted by Rashidah Young

Cardi B has made numerous headlines this past week from filing for divorce from her husband Offset to stylishly debuting her baby bump!

On Saturday, the ‘Enough’ rapper was captured in the New York Diamond District strolling in and out of shops.

With a glamorous yet edgy appeal, the Bronx native looked chic in a vintage Dior sports-bra, designed by John Galliano.

Cardi’s deconstructed $800 Acne Studio wide-leg Trompe L’oeil jeans were a moment. Characterized with western-inspired patch work, and lacing down the sides we adored these ultra baggy jeans. With a brushed and mineral finish, her jeans also offer an optical illusion denim effect on a cotton canvas.

When it came down to her accessories, she kept things vintage with her iconic red Dior saddle bag from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2000 collection. She tied her long burgundy locks down with a silk scarf for the ultimate it girl factor. Her metal layered bracelets coordinated perfectly with her silver metallic pumps.

It’s great to see the ‘Bodak Yellow’ star smiling as she prepares to welcome her third child by Offset. We wish both rappers a successful pregnancy, and we’re rooting for Cardi B!

Megan Thee Stallion Performed at the Kamala Harris ATL Campaign Rally in a Custom Blue Abdul Sall Couture Suit and Tie

“It’s Hotties for Harris!”– Megan Thee Stallion

Grammy award-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion stepped up and showed out at Vice President Kamala Harris presidential campaign rally in Atlanta, and she represented in blue and white.

While performing a four song set including “Girls in the Hood” and “Mamushi,” the Texas native took center stage in a custom blue Abdul Sall Couture suit and tie, styled by Eric Archibald.

Meg’s cobalt blue suit featured a cropped blazer layered over a white cropped shirt, and paired with form-fitting flare pants. She opted for black leather boots to complete her look, and kept accessories to a minimum.

Unapologetically her, Megan Thee Stallion twerked on stage during the political rally that caused a lot of controversy, and left some fans in uproar.

@thatsnickie wrote, “we really need to take this election seriously 😐,” while @beautifulyfe34 expressed, “I love it! This is my generation and we do things differently!”

Instagram user @yowebb_ , also added sound judgment to the @FashionBombDaily post that has already amassed 9k likes stating,

“Regardless of who was on stage and what they were doing, if Trump wins again, women’s rights could be at risk. His potential appointments of younger conservatives to the Supreme Court could pose a significant issue. That’s a major problem for women and people of color.

Whether you loved her performance or not, we admire Megan Thee Stallion for using her platform to get the message across. We hope that leading up to the election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, more celebrities will come out and endorse Harris through donations and performances. We have to use our platform ya’ll- NO EXCUSES!

Punta Cana never looked so darn good until R&B singer Monica and her family hit the scene in some of the hottest looks while vacationing in the Dominican Republic.

Most notably were striking Pucci ensembles worn by Monica, her mother, and daughter Laiyah. The abstract motif that each of them wore is known as Pucci’s “Vivara” print and is one of 500 patterns in Pucci’s extensive archives.

Monica opted for the matching Iride print set, with a silk bodysuit that featured a keyhole, while her mini me sported the $715 ‘Very Viara Cotton Geometric Sarong‘ that wrapped around her waist.

The Georgia singer’s mother, Marilyn Best looked classy and pristine in a $890 Pucci muslin shirt with the matching $1,165 maxi skirt. They each brought Pucci’s kaleidoscopic vision to life, and looked so dreamy against the tropical background.

In addition to posing next to her mother and daughter, Monica also was captured with her sons inside of the Punta Cana resort. Contrary to the lavender and mint hues, her son’s opted for black and white keeping things on the simple side.

Not only does Monica have amazing vocals, but the Grammy award winning artist has an excellent sense of fashion. She’s always slaying in the chicest designer looks from head-to-toe, and other R&B singers may just want to take a page out of her book.
