Now introducing Mr. and Mrs. Shepard! Supermodel Chanel Iman and New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard jumped the broom this weekend. The couple revealed their engagement on Instagramjust 3 months ago and wasted no time to become husband and wife.
Chanel was a vision in a Zuhair Murad gown. The belted champagne dress looked beautiful on the supermodel. Mr. Shepard complemented his bride in a Hugo Boss ensemble.
The bridesmaids looked elegant in white thigh slit gowns by Watters. Keeping their looks simple, yet classy they paired their dresses with nude Aldo ankle strap heels. The white gowns against Chanel’s champagne colored gown was non-traditional, but it looked so pretty.
The groomsmen, better known as fellow New York Giants players kept it dapper in Hugo Boss suits like Sterling.
A sea of flowers flooded the ceremony. Can you imagine the aroma in the room?! What a beautiful celebration of love!
Retailing from $3,100 these bold stilettos feature a high gold-tone heel, an open toe, a black suede t-bar front strap and a pink grosgrain ankle strap finished off with a gold-tone plaque embedded with crystals, a heart motif and a distinctive evil-eye punctuated at the centre.
Dress these sexy pumps up a simple flirty little black dress for a bomb eye catching look.
Red carpet season is slowing down and coming to an end, but the celebs seem to be heating it all the way up. Last night at the 90th Academy Awards, our favorite stars graced the carpet and some even took home Oscars. We tallied up your likes on Instagram and complied a best dressed list that you deemed worthy. Let’s get into it!
Hot, hot, and hot! Taraji P Henson played no games on the carpet in this custom Vera Wang dress. The frock featured lots of leg with a saucy high thigh slit and we are here for it. The actress added details with tulle arm accessorizes that were perfectly in sync with the dress. Ms. Henson always brings it!
We can always count on Lupita Nyong’o to grace the carpet in an absolutely beautiful dress. She looked regal in a one-shoulder Atelier Versace dress. The shimmery dress screams glam! The details of this look is everything from the high thigh slit to the black and gold structured shoulder, to the gold wefted accessory in her hair. Divine!
All Hail Queen Mary! Although she didn’t take home an Oscar, she did have a winning performance and she looked absolutely amazing. Mary J Blige sang “Mighty River” from “Mudbound” in a burgundy custom Vera Wang gown. Get into the off-the-shoulder tulle sleeves and the amazing fit on Mary’s curves. The gorgeous gown called for simple dangling earrings which kept the attention on the superb dress.
Viola Davis sparkled in a hot pink Michael Kors dress. The actress added more glam to her look rocking simple diamond jewelry. This look was not her usual, but she sure did look amazing. The pulled back hair brought out her beauty even more. Stunning, Viola!
Tiffany Haddish made a royal entrance honoring her late father’s roots in an Eritrean traditional grab. Truly stunning! What better way to honor her people and her father than on the Oscars carpet? Tiffany never fails to amaze us.
Whoopi Goldberg hit the carpet in a bold belted off-the-shoulder Christian Siriano belted gown. This look was in fact out of the norm compared to Whoopi’s red carpet looks in the past, but readers loved it! Comments read,”Do this more Whoopi!” and “You slayed this look Ms. Goldberg, you slayed!!” She topped it off with round retro shades.
King T’Challa! Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman has been bringing the heat to the carpet all season long. The actor kept it sleek in a Givenchy ensemble with embellished shoulders. It’s not often that we see men on the red carpet in longline blazers, but Boseman proves that it can be done and look hot. So handsome!
Get Out actress Betty Gabriel gave goddess vibes in a teal Tony Ward couture dress. The sheer cut-out in the front was a great addition to the gown. Not to mention, Gabriel’s hair and make-up looked flawless.
When have we ever seen Common not looking dapper? He always shows up and out to the carpet—the lyricist was suited up in an Armani suit. Readers were loving him in the comments saying, “Common is the quintessential gentlemen! Love this!” and “He’s always perfect.” We couldn’t agree more!
Octavia Spencer was a vision in Brandon Maxwell draped off-the-shoulder gown. The hunter green color certainly looks amazing on her and the waist cinching belt complements her body so well. What is not to love?!
Lastly, Gina Rodriguez kept it chic in a Zuhair Murad belted dress. This look pretty much speaks for itself, with a deep v-neck and embellishment throughout the gown it looked stunning. Comments read, “Best dressed for sure,” and “Obsessed! She looks so pretty.” Beautiful!
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.”

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!

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.”
