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!
Today’s Bombshell of the Day is Porscha from Pennsauken, NJ.
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. I am very curvy so I personally like to express myself comfortably while making a statement. Since I am very simple I like to incorporate a pop of color in my outfit or hues in my photos.”

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!
Before Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and other faddish celebrities sported the baggy/oversized looks, female rappers and R&B singers like MC Lyte, TLC, Xscape, and Aaliyah had already stylish staked their claim in this fashion trend. When MC Lyte first hit the rap scene in the late 80’s with her frank lyrics and audacious attitude, she quickly proved that she could roll with the male emcees when it came to spewing lyrics and fashion.
MC Lyte was known for making shoulder pads, a jogger suit, or some loose fitting pants work. Her relaxed style of dress opened up a new fashion lane for some of her young female successors.
The early 90’s girl group TLC were all about the oversize look. Their liberated style choices played a crucial role in kicking off the 90’s fashion that is still prevalent today.

Shortly after TLC’s debut came another popular girl group donning the oversize look; Xscape. In the beginning of their career, these ladies kept it all the way street with their sporty looks. They personified cool in a feminine way and had girls all around the nation just kickin’ it in their baggy gear.
Taking a note from the style books of her R&B predecessors, Aaliyah took the oversize trend and made it her own. She cleverly mixed sexy with tomboy chic, and has been dubbed by many as the poster girl for 90’s fashion.
Are you a fan of the oversize trend? What other fashion trends can you think of that were started by our culture?
