He writes, “While before my style was timeless and uncluttered chic, I’ve added a bit of sport in there as well.”
“I think my androgyny factors big into my style choice as well. I see so many black gay men, or gay men period who dress as Rihanna, or Kim K, but my spirit animals for style are Solange, Audrey Hepburn, and June Ambrose. They have filtered and unmatched taste in their style choices.”

A post shared by Tamar Braxton ❤️ (@tamarbraxton) on
She wrote, “The stylist today tried to make me feel “less than” because he didn’t agree that I should wear @forever21..well..

YOU ARE PERFECT!! NO MATTER WHAT!! #LOVEYOU thank you @fashionbombdaily for posting AND knowing that’s it’s about THE GIRL!!”
Tamar was referring to the above now sold out $40 Forever 21 City of Angels Jumpsuit, that undoubtedly flew off the shelves because it looked so great with her platinum hair and Christian Louboutin So Kate booties. Our Fashion Bomb Daily sleuths went to searching, and uncovered the gem yesterday for a feature on the ‘Gram.
We go in touch with her stylist, who requested anonymity, to learn their side of the story. They said, “This is her album release week. We were supposed to have a fitting the night before, but she couldn’t make it. The next morning, call time was 8am in the morning. She didn’t show up until 8:30/8:45 ish. We had to walk at 9:45. She spends a lot of time in hair and makeup, so she’s always rushed when it comes to styling.”
They continued, “I pulled an outfit for her. She said she loved it, but said she wanted to wear it on Wednesday for Page Six. She said, ‘What else you got?’ Instead of stand by the rack, she went into hair and makeup and from there, she called her assistant to grab the jumpsuit. Apparently that’s what she wanted to wear. It was totally fine. Nothing is wrong with the jumpsuit. I’m a high low stylist in general.”
“When she finally got dressed, I told her what shoes to wear. And then she asked overall, how I thought the outfit looked. I told her it looked, ‘Ok.’ I didn’t say it in a rude way. I didn’t say it looked great, but I said it looked, OK. Apparently when she got in the car, she got really upset.”
“I would never ever every say anything about a $40 jumpsuit. I just thought it was not the appropriate outfit for a wave of press for her album coming out. I 100% stand by that. That’s why she hired me. It’s not about it being Forever 21, I didn’t even know it was a $40 jumpsuit. She hired me to take her to the next level. I will not apologize for not thinking it was an appropriate look. But I will apologize for saying it looked, ‘OK.’ Maybe that word choice wasn’t the right word choice at the time. Also, I wasn’t fired. I was only hired on through Monday.”
Well, there you have it. I hope they can resolve this situation amicably and go forth, fashionably. It seems like they are a stylish match–and that this was just a misunderstanding!

This is not a drill! Victoria’s Secret angel wings are getting a new luxe makeover. Yesterday the lingerie brand announced a major collaboration with Balmain. Not only is Oliver Rousteing designing looks for the runway show in Shanghai, but VSxBalmain will be available for purchase in store and online.
Oliver is a collaboration genius! Balmain just recently teamed up with L’Oreal for a lipstick collection, and now a lingerie limited edition capsule?! This is too much to even take in. This will be the first time that Victoria’s Secret does a collaboration and we can expect it to be extremely sexy.
A press release for the lingerie line read, “Olivier Rousteing, the Creative Director from the historic Parisian fashion house, has designed an offering that looks to the sexy, modern silhouette that Victoria’s Secret is known for, while incorporating Balmain’s instantly identifiable style. The collection builds upon the house’s couture legacy while reflecting the way women want to dress today.”
The collection will be available on November 29, a day after the Victoria’s Secret runways show airs on CBS. There has been on price point announced yet, but we are so excited to see what this capsule looks like!

From fronting one of the biggest girl groups of our generation to carving out a solo career that knows no bounds, former Pussy Cat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger has grown into her own. The singer, dancer, actress, and X-Factor judge is seemingly on a mission to conquer it all. And just as her career has evolved, so has her style.
During her days as a Pussy Cat Doll, Scherzinger relied on lots of leather, fishnets, and a myriad of mini skirts. Bandage dresses and skirts in vibrant colors and eye-catching patterns were also on heavy rotation during this era, considering these were must haves.
As time progressed, Nicole’s style improved, pairing upbeat pieces with touches of ultra-feminine flair. A Les Petits Joueurs bag and Stella McCartney “Elyse” platform derby shoes definitely uplift a casual day look. A houndstooth coat and oversized sunnies pair well together for a look that leans more on the “chic” side. Red carpet looks are always a treat, especially during X-Factor season. From perfectly tailored jumpsuits….
To saucy minidresses the likes of David Koma…
…to stunning gowns the likes of Michael Costello and Julien Macdonald, her red carpet style rarely ever misses the mark.
That’s it for this week’s addition to the bunch of style roundups. And with X-Factor currently in the heat of competition, we’re certain to have more fabulous fashion moments to look forward to.
For more, spy the gallery above!
She writes, “I would describe my style as chic elegance, with a touch of sass! I love attention to detail and statement pieces that have a ‘WOW’ factor whether it be an extreme puff sleeve or a simple dress with a deep plunge back.”
“I love styling my pieces with other brands and creating inspiring looks.”
“I love seeing women being bold and dressing confidently, as an outlet of expression.”

Perusing my Instagram feed this morning, I saw not just one, but 2 blogging Bombshells (@Natashandlovu and @Kerrently) wearing one of Fall 2017’s biggest trends: the checked blazer dress.
June Ambrose wore an option from Zara with a Gucci bag during New York Fashion Week.
Monica Brown for a longer blazer with a skirt to VH1 Hip Hop Honors.
And Hailey Baldwin bid adieu to Fashion Week in a check dress and a matching jacket.
I love this look! If you do, too, get it for a steal and a splurge below:
And show us how you wear it!

Foot couturier Christian Louboutin has collaborated with Indian Couture Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee on a line of fabulously embellished shoes featuring hand-embroidered sari fabrics and ribbons from Sabyasachi’s archives.
The collection will be available at only eight locations globally including Bergdorf Goodman in New York and the Christian Louboutin Boutique in Los Angeles.
According to the brand, “Louboutin created shoes for Sabyasachi’s annual couture show in Mumbai in 2015. A collection of footwear and handbags followed for his 2016 runway show. The Louboutin x Sabyasachi capsule collection includes 10 women’s and 2 men’s styles as well as clutches available in multiple colorways with limited quantities of each style due to the rarity of the fabric.”
The limited capsule features spiked booties, platform heels, and snazzy flats. Only the bold need apply.
Prices have not been advertised as yet, but I’m sure they’re as high as those heels.
