Actress, Meagan Good attended the 58th annual Frederick Douglass Awards Gala with her beau Jonathan Major at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York, and the fashion bomb couple bet on black.

Serving as the Honorary Co-chair at this year’s gala, Good looked brilliant in a black long sleeve sheer Nookie dress that was flattering on her small physique and hugged her curves.

Her gold diamond Alexis Bitter necklace attributed a luxurious feel, and tied her ensemble together. In addition to her scrappy black Florde Maria sandals that featured a sexy silhouette. Her braided undo felt appropriate for the gala, and her smile perhaps was her best accessory.

“As we celebrate tonight’s award recipients, let us also recommit to the work ahead. Let us stand together, amplify the voices of the oppressed, and confront injustice wherever it exists. Together, we can build a more just, equitable, and inclusive society,” shared Good on stage.

Jonathan Major held tightly onto Good’s hand as they walked in synchronicity to the venue. Majors opted for a black on black suit that included a long suit jacket with satin lapels. His haircut and facial hair was neatly groomed, and we thought he looked very intelligent.

Both Meagan Good and Jonathan Major have been dating for quite some time, and when we see them together, they always look very united and in love.

Rihanna was captured looking sizzling haute in a red Ferragamo FW24 dress while in Shanghai promoting ‘Fenty Beauty’ and perhaps monochromatic never looked so darn good!

The long sleeve Ferragamo dress which features a high turtle neck, and draping with sultry cutouts, looked strikingly beautiful and glamorous on the ‘Diamonds’ singer.

Revamp Your Style: 5 Wardrobe Staples for a Bold Fashion Statement

Posted on

Are you looking to make a brave statement with your style? Revamping your wardrobe doesn’t require a complete overhaul. Instead, incorporating a few key staples can significantly elevate your fashion game and make you stand out. Here, we’ll explore five essential pieces that are not only trendy but also versatile, allowing you to mix and match for various occasions. Get ready to transform your style with these must-have items!

The Statement Blazer

A statement blazer, distinct for its sharp tailoring and bold presence, definitely attracts attention. Opt for colors like electric blue, emerald green, or even a leopard print to truly make a statement.

How to style: The versatility of a statement blazer is unmatched. Worn over a plain white tee and your favorite jeans, it can create an effortlessly chic look. Alternatively, for a more dressed-up occasion, pairing it with a slim-fitting dress can elevate your entire outfit. The statement blazer is a conversation starter and works as a focal point for any look.

Classic Leather Jacket

A high-quality, classic cut leather jacket is a timeless piece that brings an edge to any wardrobe. Whether in traditional black or a daring red, it’s a symbol of effortless cool.

How to style: A leather jacket is the epitome of versatility. It pairs beautifully with a feminine floral dress, adding a bit of grit, or it can complete a classic rock ‘n’ roll look when combined with black jeans and a graphic t-shirt. It’s a perfect piece for transitional weather and adds an element of rebellious style to any outfit.

The Oversized Coat

An oversized coat is a luxurious and stylish staple, especially when chosen in a standout color like deep red or cobalt blue, or even in a unique pattern such as houndstooth or plaid.

How to style: This coat is incredibly adaptable and can transform any outfit. It’s perfect for layering over a business suit for a professional appearance, but it can also add a touch of elegance to a casual outfit like a sweater paired with jeans. For those who dare, clashing patterns or vibrant colors under the coat can create a truly eye-catching ensemble.

Wide-Leg Trousers

Wide-leg trousers, particularly in striking colors like mustard yellow or patterns like stripes, offer a bold and modern twist to traditional trousers.

How to style: These trousers are best balanced with a fitted top or a blouse tucked in to define the waist. They’re incredibly adaptable – pair them with heels for an elegant and sophisticated office look, or dress them down with sneakers for a weekend brunch. The wide-leg cut not only makes a fashion statement but also provides comfort and ease of movement.

Eye-Catching Accessory

A statement accessory, be it a wide-brimmed hat, an oversized colorful scarf, or a chunky, bold necklace, can be the centerpiece of any outfit.

How to style: Choosing one standout accessory can elevate a simple outfit to a new level of finesse. If you opt for a large necklace, pair it with a simple neckline to let the jewelry shine. A bold hat can transform an outfit, but keep your hair styling simple to avoid overwhelming your look.

Conclusion

Revitalizing your wardrobe for a bold fashion statement is all about choosing the right pieces. By mixing and matching these essential items, you can create a myriad of outfits that are both trendy and timeless. It’s about finding the perfect balance between classic elegance and modern flair. Embrace these staples and watch as your wardrobe transforms, offering you new and exciting ways to express yourself through fashion.

‘Fenty Beauty’ founder, Rihanna stepped out Friday evening for a girls night out with her bestie Melissa Forde at Pergola restaurant in New York City.

Perhaps they were celebrating as Rihanna has officially become the top female solo artist with the most diamond certified songs. According to Forbes.com, “The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) reports that four more of Rihanna’s singles have been certified diamond. All of them earned that honor on Friday (May 31), which made it an incredibly exciting day for the superstar.“

Looking like the trailblazer that she is, the Barbadian singer looked fresh to death in a zebra vintage faux fur coat by Turkish designer, Rifat Uzbek that was oversized and hung off Rihanna’s shoulders.

When it came down to her stylish accessories, RiRi opted for black $260 Kaleos collection shades that frame her face perfectly. Her black Gucci quilted handbag, and black $795 Gianvito Rossi heels added modernity to her vintage 90’s coat.

Rihanna’s blonde braided doobie hair wrap was the moment, and the star of her look. Styled with pearl accents and rhinestone bobbie pins, her doobie wrap took us back to 2013 when she first showcased the hairstyle at the American Music Awards, where she accepted the Icon Award.

Rihanna is making serious waves in both the music and beauty industry, and to see how far she has come since she first landed on the scene in 2005, is quite inspiring and impressive.

We are looking forward to Rihanna’s fashionable looks this summer!
