Claire’s Life + On the Scene: Essence Black Women in Hollywood 2018 Sponsored by Ford

Happy Friday, Bombers and Bombshells!
Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to attend my third Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon, this time as a Ford Ambassador!

The inspiring day honored unstoppable industry change agents Danai Gurira, Tiffany Haddish, Tessa Thompson, and Lena Waithe, and was chock full of heartfelt speeches and calls to action. During lulls in the program, I worked the room, gathering content and also say hey to some of our favorite Fashion Bomb celebs:

Honoree Tiffany Haddish sparkled in an Alice + Olivia dress.

I saluted Birthday Girl and beauty Lupita Nyong’o, who was a vision in a Ronald Van Der Kemp mini dress.

Lala kept it popping in pink Stella McCartney.

Janelle Monae was bomb in Andrew Gn and a single beaded earring.


Angela Bassett showed off big hair and a white Yaniv Persy jumpsuit.

Ms. Tina Lawson was so sweet! She was a vision in a pink suit of her design.

Lastly, Ava Duvernay gave me serious Loc envy with a half up half down ‘do and a floral maxi dress.
It was a great event!




Because the event was designed to celebrate black women, I decided to wear a dress by black female designer, Haus of Shea:

The red, black, and green colors were reflective of black pride and excellence; I accessorized with a Gucci bag from ShopClosetVogue.com and Louboutin heels.
Check out a few more pictures from the red carpet below:

Claire’s Life: Filming Ford’s 2018 Expedition with June Ambrose, Amy Dubois Barnett, and Arian Simone

Happy Thursday!
Ford has graciously flown me to LA to be an ambassador during Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood event! A day before the big event, they gathered fellow bosses June Ambrose, Amy Dubois Barnett, and Arian Simone to test drive their new Ford Expedition (now equipped with Alexa) and talk about how we can continue to build a community of strong, fabulously fearless women.

We chatted about how we all started in our careers and how we continue to go further to push the culture forward. The main thing we have in common: we are unstoppable and determined to go for our goals, no matter what may come our way.

Today, I’ll be going live from Essence Black Women in Hollywood on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Stay tuned!

She writes, “I would describe my style as “in the moment.””

“My style ultimately depends on how I am feeling at that present time. I would say that I am very simple and laid back.

Stunner Rihanna Brings The Heat to The ‘Gram in a Gucci Pre-Fall ’18 Collection Ensemble

Bad Gal Riri posed for the ‘Gram draped in Gucci look from their Pre-Fall 2018 collection.

The two-piece set features monogramed jogger pants and a matching zipped sweater with the brand’s signature colors on the sleeves and red, blue, and white painted on the front.  Of course, the fashionista threw in her own pizazz with a brown coat over her shoulders and dangling green earrings to match her open-toe shoes. 

Readers loved the look! Comments on our Instagram read,”It isn’t fashion until Rihanna makes it fashion,” and “She makes it look so easy! Like other people can wear it too… but not quite.” Rih definitely has that power!

You feeling her look?
