Halle Bailey and DDG have officially shared the first images of baby Halo on Instagram while vacationing in Italy.
The lovebirds, who kept their pregnancy sacred and a mystery to fans and media outlets alike for quite some time, are beginning to look like one happy family.
Dressed in full Dolce & Gabbana ensembles, Halle looked like a Queen standing next to her King. The ‘Little Mermaid’ actress embodied regality in a cream strapless fishnet dress that had rhinestone and pearl embellishments throughout.
She accessorized with a diamond necklace and earrings that glistened against her stunning beat and goddess locs.
Baby Halo, who resembles both of his celebrity parents looked peaceful in a white Dolce & Gabbana long sleeve babysuit, with the matching white infant shoes.
DDG channeled ‘Mufasa’ from the Lion King as he proudly held his son up in the air joyously. The ‘Famous’ rapper looked dapper in a long sleeve bedazzled out Dolce & Gabbana top that was accented with pearls.
Keeping the special occasion formal, he paired his top with black trousers, and alien-inspired shades for cool factor.
Halle and DDG look like a true match made in heaven standing in the light of their ‘Halo.’ We are so happy for this fashion bomb family, and we wish them continue bliss.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are in their Puma bag, and the fashion bomb couple were spotted strolling near the Hudson River in New York City.
The stylish duo who both have clothing lines with the German brand, were dripped in Puma wear from head to toe.
While Rihanna has been a global ambassador for Puma since December 2014, her beau A$AP recently debuted his latest motorsport-inspired collection at the beginning of May. His collection offers an assortment of footwear, apparel and accessories that offer many race gear components.
For their morning outing, the ‘Fashion Killa’ rapper kept things on the simple side with a lime green Puma t-shirt, black joggers, and lime green and black Puma sneakers for cohesion.
RiRi opted for monochromatic in all black, with a Puma track jacket, leggings, and her black Puma Mostro leather sneakers. She repped New York in her black and white Yankees hat, that added a nice touch to her athleisure wear.
Although we love seeing Rihanna and A$AP Rocky dressed to the nines, it was refreshing to see them in their workout and comfort clothes as it felt relatable.

Last Friday, I was honored to receive the 2024 Media Award from The Culture Creators. The ceremony acknowledges those making ways in various industries, from styling to CEOs. I was honored and humbled to be presented the award by longtime Fashion Bomb Daily supporter, Angela Simmons.
For the occasion, I wore a black designer, of course! Ken White out of Dallas, Texas did the honors, outfitting me in a bow dress that made me feel like a gift that keeps on giving!

There was a new spark in the air at this year’s BET Awards. A re-emergence of energy that was not only felt but illustrated on Sunday’s blue carpet! Everything about the BET Awards 2024 red carpet rang true — It was BLACK, BOLD, and BEAUTIFUL.
Black Hollywood is known for it’s innate fashion versatility, so there’s no denying that ‘Culture’s Biggest Night’ set the tone for bold, vibrant, eccentric & flirty-fun fashions among the stars!
Highlighted among our favorite looks on this iconic night include Colman Domingo in a black metallic suit by Ferrari styled by Wayman & Micah. What we love most about this electrifying suit is the ombre to red at the foot giving it a pop of color on top of the sheen, smooth feel of the suit. Now this is the statement piece we can’t stop talking about!
Next, we have Victoria Monet in her electrifying blue era. At this point stylist Kollin Carter is unstoppable. He put his bombshell in a custom Samuel Lewis navy blue pierced leather gown, with silver accents ruched together in the front. As a bonus the bottom half of the dress comes off and turns into the perfect cocktail number!
This was surely Victoria Monet’s ‘Cinderella Moment’ but make it edgy!! From owning the night in her one-of-one performances to snagging two BET Awards, Kollin overstood the assignment. To seal the deal this show-stopper was paired with Monet’s signature wet hair look. She is known for this aesthetic and we love it!
Tanner Adell, the country bell was true to her roots and this look was light and whimsical yet still bold. Styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn this buckle bunny wore a Bach Mai in a custom whimsical western piece! The Country genre is new to the BET awards and both she and Shaboozey ( in a Campillo suit styled by Anastasia Walker) set the tone and rightfully so as the first country artists to be recognized! We can only assume that an official category is on it’s way!
Rapper, NLE CHOPPA traded in his signature rapper uniform for the evening for a very rocker-chic, sex-symbol look. The young heart throb wore a the See-Through Dsquared2 blouse with Mowalola Stone pants and Mason Margiela boots. This look was surely a wild card for viewers and what a better place to switch it up and show versatility than the BET Awards. Fans were initially shocked but he was definitely a fan favorite from the night!
Tyla is quickly moving up the ranks to a fashion IT girl, especially after this year’s MET Gala look. This time she went into the archives in a 2004 Fall/Winter Versace ‘ready-to-wear’ runway number and if that wasn’t enough of a WOW factor this sexy leg-out, cut-out belly gown was set off with $230,000 worth of jewelry from Jared Atelier, per E! News. Now, is there anything more to say? We think NOT as Tyla continues to up the ante every time she hits the scene.
Our Fashion Bomb Daily radar is noticing a lot of trends from Y2K back in full swing right now! Check out #FashionBombMinutewithMini 2024 BET Awards Blue Carpet FULL recap below.
Well in conclusion, the men dominated the carpet this year showing us why they are the cream of the crop. The most notable trend among these star-studded men was — CRÈME. Everyone from Usher to Cory Hardrict was spotted in crème de la creme. Ray J went on record saying, “You want to wear something white to preserve the heat. It’s all about keeping it chill and fly,” and his peers like singer, Vedo went on to cosign that same sentiment! Okay ladies, what say you about this summer trend?
The annual BET awards hosted by Taraji P. Henson kicked off with a bang at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, and what an unforgettable extravaganza.
From celebrities strutting down the red carpet in mesmerizing looks, to star-studded performances setting the crowd ablaze, the ceremony was nothing short of memorable for ‘cultures biggest night.‘
If anyone can usher in a new movement for the culture, it’s without a doubt singer Usher who was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Awards at this year’s BET awards.
Usher, who began his career at the shy age of 14 with LaFace records and quickly rose to fame, was honored for all his contributions to the music industry over the past three decades.
For the joyous moment, he looked like a class act in a white Ralph Lauren suit jacket that he paired with a white button up shirt, and light blue denim jeans, styled by Jeremy Haynes.
Usher’s family was attendance including his wife Jennifer Goicoechea who smile from ear to ear, as celebrities like Childish Gambino, Keke Palmer and Summer Walker paid tribute to her hubby.
Creative Director, Teyana Taylor and Victoria Monet had a “Bad Girl” linkup and were the ultimate dynamic duo. Hitting every song note and dance move on cue, we couldn’t get over how amazing their performance was.
Monet who won ‘Best Music Video’ and the ‘BET Her’ award, looked edgy on the red carpet in a black Samuel Lewis leather gown that was sickening.
Chlöe Bailey also opted for black in a sequins Monot gown that was characterized with a cutout at the bust, and fit the ‘Have Mercy’ singer like a glove.
When it came down to the fashion bomb couples, Duane Martin and Ashley Jones coordinated in seafoam green Fendi and Norma Kamali ensembles.
Niecy Nash and her wife Jessica Betts looked spectacular in cobalt blue, while Tyrese Gibson and Zelie Timothy were a fan-favorite with Timothy rocking a pink Di Petsa dress.
Ahead, see more stars who attended the 2024 BET awards and put their best fashion foot forward!
The hostess with the mostest, Taraji P. Henson looked absolutely incredible during ‘Culture’s Biggest Night’ at the BET awards Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
Hosting the BET awards for a third time in a row, ‘The Color Purple‘ actress owned the stage and entertained attendees as she opened the show with a parody using Kendrick Lamar’s hit song “Not Like Us.”
She gave main character energy throughout the night with her interchangeable looks and opted for progressive black designers to capitalize off the special moment.
Her stylists, Wayman Deon and Mica McDonald are the masterminds behind her inspired wardrobe consisting of lavish labels, juicy colors, and modern silhouettes.
Henson also took a political stance by using her platform to discuss Project 25, and the negative repercussions it would have on our government if Trump were to be re-elected. Project 25 would include rolling back on civil rights legislation, limiting abortion access and restricting contraception.
Taraji spoke eloquently as she expressed,
Show up and show out when it’s time to vote, because it’s not just about the presidential election, you guys. It’s time for us to play chess, not checkers. It’s about making decisions that will affect us as human beings. Our careers, our next generations to come. Did you know that it is now a crime to be homeless? Pay attention. It’s not a secret: Look it up. They are attacking our most vulnerable citizens. The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up!
Not only was Taraji armored with the most dazzling fashion, but she was equipped with knowledge to help change the trajectory.
Taraji P. Henson was undoubtedly an instant hit at the BET awards and we applaud for her style & grace. Ahead see all of her wonderful looks, with sharp tailoring and craftsmanship that was spot on.

Kim Kardashian became a blonde bombshell in her latest photoshoot, as she channeled the late Marilyn Monroe.
This isn’t the first time that the ‘Skim’ founder has epitomized Monroe, as you may recall that Kardashian wore the famed “Happy Birthday” dress that Marilyn wore back in 1962 , to the 2022 MET Gala.
Perhaps both of them share more in common than what meets the eye. While we know that Marilyn was a sex symbol in the late 50’s and early 60’s, she also was an advocate for the civil rights movement and gender equality, which Kardashian can also speak to.
Looking like a sex-symbol herself, the reality TV star posed in a long embellished Fendi dress that was transparent, and showed off her curvaceous body.
She opted for white pointy toe Stella McCartney heels that were a nice contrast against the wooden platform that she posed on top of.
As Kardashian turned away from the camera, we saw her entire backside which isn’t a first. The socialite broke the internet in 2014 when she flashed her rear end with a champagne glass balanced on top of her bum for Paper Magazine.
Kim isn’t afraid to be explicit when it comes to her choice of fashion. Although some people may be more reserved , Kardashian’s style for some could be perceived as a form of female empowerment.
The legendary Celine Dion premiered her “I am: Celine Dion” documentary during a special New York screening at the Alice Tully Hall this month, and the Canadian singer received a standing ovation.
Dion, who is one of the best voices of our time, and has faced challenges after being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, bared it all, taking attendees on a thought-provoking journey of her life.
The theater filled up quickly, with eager fans singing along to some of Celine’s wonderful hits like “I’m Alive” and “My Heart Will Go On” as they awaited for her documentary to debut.
The Director and Producer of the film, Irene Taylor walked on the stage, and shared her incredible experience working alongside Dion, in order to effectively depict her story.
When Celine surprised attendees and walked on the stage, the crowd went bananas, in awe of sharing space with an icon. Lavern Cox and Gayle King were among the many celebrities in attendance at the premiere.
Following Taylor and Dion’s introduction to the documentary, fans and media outlets were immersed in the film that begins with Celine talking about her struggles with her rare health condition.
From talking about how her chronic neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness has interfered with her vocal ability, to sharing family time with her sons, and walking us through her childhood, she was raw and unapologetic.
Celine, who comes from a large family of 13 brothers and sisters, shared some of the tribulations that her family endured. She recalled her mother being the backbone of the household, and always doing her best to ensure that they lacked nothing despite not always having the means.
She shared moments of her love life with her late husband René Angélil who passed in 2016. You could see through Celine’s eyes that she’s still deeply heartbroken by the loss.
Although the documentary had heavy moments that were quite emotional, it had many light moments too. Dion, who is a true fashionista at heart, walked attendees through her fashion warehouse that included renowned designers and one-of-a-kind pieces.
Her eye for fashion and love for shoes is evident as she humorously mentioned,
“When a girl loves her shoes, she always makes them fit. I have worn shoes my friend, where my toes were like this (crawled up), because they didn’t have my size,” said Dion. “Every time I went to a store and I love those shoes they would say what size are you ma’am? I‘d say no you don’t understanding, what size do you have? I will make them work, I will make them fit, I will walk the shoe, the shoe doesn’t walk me.”
The Celine Dion documentary on Amazon Prime is an absolute must see and will change your whole entire perspective about who Celine Dion is.
She is a FIGHTER, who is relentless, and the epitome of someone who will never give up- and for that WE LOVE HER!
