Today’s Fashion Bombshell of the day is one sizzling goddess. Behold, Akua aka @akuafina_ from Philly.
She writes, “I want my clothes to say high energy, very compelling, passionate, confident, driven. I like to match classic with vintage, sleek with wild…Combining all the juxtapositions. You never know who you’ll meet, so first impressions matter.”

We’re bringing you some major cuteness overload today with this week’s Fashion Bomb Baby.
When we posted Skyla to our sister site @FashionBombKids, readers fell in love with comments like, “Baby goals!” and “Oh my goodness! Look at the pink fur! Total cuteness.” Isn’t she adorable?!
Not to mention, her wardrobe is full of furry accessories and swanky ensembles. Be sure to follow her @sxylvvlori and @FashionBombKids for your daily dose of posh tots!
Happy Friday bombers and bombshells! ‘Twas a week of Black Excellence in fashion and the celebs showed out. We’ve compiled the hottest looks based who you deemed worthy. Here’s who made the cut:
1.Marsai Martin in Cinq a Sept (27,675 Likes)
Marsai has been killing it on the carpet since awards season kicked off in January. She looked lovely in a Cinq a Sept ruffled. The Black-ish actress always gets it right all while being age appropriate. Readers loved her premiere look, @falmbeyant1 wrote, “Very trés chic, classic beauty!!!,” while @helpmehodge wrote, “She is soooo beautiful! Yesss and totally age appropriate.” We love watching Marsai grow into such an elegant young lady!
2. Tiffany Haddish in Michael Costello (25,358 Likes)
Wow, Tiffany has been killing it lately! She turned heads at the ABFF Honors in LA clad in a Michael Costello gown. The belted gown featured a plunging neck and high thigh slit. It was very different from the actress’ usual look, but it was definitely a winner. Commenters loved the look with compliments like, “This is the best she’s ever looked,” and “She is out here looking royal. Go head and show that black girl magic.” Yes, indeed Tiffany was very regal in this look. Stunning!
3. Morris Chestnut in Nyoni Couture (24,866 Likes)
Morris Chestnut was dapper in a Nyoni Couture suit at the ABFF Honors. The navy and black color block suit was tailored perfectly and he completed his look with a simple bowtie. The ladies were loving it! @brownstonebeauty wrote, “Very sexy, classy and sophisticated!” One can never go wrong with a nice suave look.
4. Angela Bassett in Mangishi Doll (24,777 Likes)
How could you not love Queen mother Angela Bassett? She looked stunning in this bold patterned Mangishi Doll dress. This ensemble gives all the Black Panther/ Wakanda feels and she nailed it. Adding to the fun colors and pencil fit of the dress, it included a fun black fringe at the bottom. No better way to complete the look than to rock huge complementing jewelry pieces like her funky shaped ring and dangling earring. Totally here for it!
5. Rihanna in Gucci (19,773 Likes)
Lastly, Rihanna hit the ‘Gram styling per usual in a full Gucci look. Adding her own flair, Rih Rih wore dangling green earrings and threw a long brown coat over her shoulders. The monogrammed tracksuit is the comfy, yet cute look that we all need in our lives. The songstress and entrepreneur knows how to make runway fashion look completely different. She definitely served!
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:
Amanda Seales in a Philosophy top and Gucci pants.
Danai Gurira in a Loewe Spring 2018 dress.
Tessa Thompson in Ralph & Russo Spring 2017 couture.
Today’s Bombshell of the Day is full of Black Girl Magic! And by the looks of her adventurous style, she is all of that! Behold, Larissa from Antananarivo, Madagascar.
She writes, “I describe my style as trend-driven and feminine.”
“I want to show, through my Instagram account: How to be curly in Madagascar, the life of a regular girl living in the capital of Madagascar. Because of the popular movie Madagascar, I assume that people may think that we are a bunch of exotic girls half-naked, nipples covered by coconuts, wandering around the vast forest among lions and giraffes here. Well…Surprise: we’re fashion-victim, subscribed to Fashion Bomb Daily, watching all the fashion shows every season and paying attention to trends.”

Today’s Bomber of the Day was crowned earlier this week as our #FashionBombMan on @fashionbombmen. Now he deserves a second shoutout because his style is that Bomb! Behold, Re’chard from Baltimore, MD, who currently resides in Washington, D.C.
He writes, “My day to day style would be spontaneous because I never know how I’m feeling that day.”
“Also original, sometimes “loud” and confident. I like to think being different is always my goal and standing out no matter where I go.”

The floral mini dress features a deep plunging neckline and long balloon-like sleeves with wrist cuffs. Her trim of the dress includes overlapping keyholes as seen throughout the garb.
She completed her ensemble with Off-White pumps with their signature “For Walking” motto printed on the front and a crystal box frame clutch encrusted with green rhinestones.
“I would describe my style as eclectic because I’m very versatile.”
“I like to draw inspiration from different aspects of my life and make it my own. But as a stylist, I love trying new things and pushing boundaries when it comes to my clients.”

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!
