Happy Thursday, folks!

Yesterday I popped by Jay Manuel’s beauty event, celebrating his new partnership with Simon Malls.

Jay has initiated a new retail experience for beauty enthusiasts buying products at makeup counters. In addition to furnishing customers with glorious lighting, Jay has conceived of several high tech additions, including computers that remember past purchases so that you can buy your favorites with a click. Cool, right?

Several Fashion and Beauty insiders came to celebrate Mr. Jay, including Miss Jay Alexander, Lionbabe, Alfre Woodard , Bethann Hardison, and supermodel Iman, whose Impala beauty company owns Mr Jay’s eponymous brand.

For the night, I kept it colorful in a Solace London dress, Gianvito Rossi pumps and a Saint Laurent bag from A Daily Diva.

I am currently en route to my motherland Bahamas for Bahamas Fashion Week! I decided to take my mom as my plus one because she is responsible for my life, love of fashion, and it’s her birthday! Stay tuned for pix.

In the meantime, be sure to check our Jay Manuel’s line at JayManuelBeauty.com and stop by his retail experience at your local Simon Mall. Know when a Jay Manuel counter is coming to a mall near you by following @JayManuelBeauty on Instagram.

Smooches!

PS Mr. Jay will actually be one of our special guests at our VIP brunch at Cocktails with Claire x Ty Hunter New York!

Seagram’s Spiked drinks is a sponsor and has offered 3 readers the chance to win free tickets to the event. Stay tuned for rules to entry on @FashionBombDaily.

The 31st FN Achievement Awards goes down right after Cyber Monday, on Tuesday November 28th. The awards show just released its list of awards recipients this year, which includes some of our faves:

Air Jordan 1 x Virgil Abloh will receive the Shoe of the Year award, while Hailey Baldwin will take home the Style Influencer of the Year award. The Manolo Blahnik Lifetime Achievement honor will go to none other than shoe icon Stan Smith and Ronnie Fieg will have the Collaborator of the Year award to place on his mantle. Other award recipients include Gianvito Rossi with Designer of the Year, Malone Souliers with the Vivian Infantino Emerging Talent Award, Attico with Launch of the Year, Birkenstock with Brand of the Year, Steve Madden Ltd. with Company of the Year, and Puma with Marketer of the Year.

Abloh is following in Rihanna’s footsteps, as she took home the 2016 Shoe of the Year award for her FENTY Puma Creepers. And Smith returns to the awards show, after winning the 2014 Shoe of the Year Award.

“Every year, we work hard to select the brands, designers, and influencers who shape the shoe industry,” stated FN Editorial Director Michael Atmore. “Leading the pack is Virgil Abloh, one of the biggest fashion forces of 2017, who grabs the shoe of the year crown. Abloh’s Air Jordan 1 set off a feeding frenzy that saw sneaker aficionados and celebrities alike crave the limited-edition style. He joins an incredible list of talents at what promises to be a star-studded evening.”

Our favorite style stars toasted to the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund with a fashion show & tea. From retro-inspired ensembles to casual getups, the looks didn’t disappoint!

Let’s get into the afternoon’s ‘fits:

Zendaya had a retro-inspired moment in a pink ruffle Teresa Helbig blouse and high-waist plaid trousers. She’s always flawless!

Teyana Taylor flaunted her curves in a latex cutout LBD. I live for her style.

Tracee Ellis Ross was a blue dream in a matching knit Prabal Gurung crop top and red accents. Gorgeous, no?

Laverne Cox served up schoolgirl chic in round readers, a monogram cardigan, floral mini dress, “caviar” purse, and platform pumps. Brittany Snow was clad in the kind of ethereal butterfly print dress that would made Mariah Carey proud. Both ladies were outfitted in Kate Spade. Hot!

Kaia Gerber looked every bit the new super in an elegant plaid frock.

Millie Bobby Brown was super cool in a simple midi dress and black accessories that grounded her ensemble.

Eva Chen kept it surprisingly pared-down in a graphic t-shirt, denim mini skirt, and those coveted Chanel cap toe slingbacks.

Ruby Rose showcased her toned abs in a Victoria Beckham bralette and modern suit.

Who had your favorite look at the stylish event?

Heidi Klum was pretty in pink at the mothers2mothers and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation Benefit Dinner, clad in a $1,450 Johanna Ortiz Goldie Brocade Dress:

Her dress features ruffle detailing in a pink and red floral brocade. It also boasts an obi-inspired belt.

Hot!

Happy Hump Day!

 

Today’s Bombshell is Shaakira from London.

She writes, “If I had to sum up my style I would say it’s bold and comfortable with a sexy edge.”

“My style tends to change depending on the day and how glam I want to look. On a day to day I work in an office so I want to look put together but I need to be comfortable, but on the weekend or when I’m taking pictures for my blog I love to mix things up and go full out DIVA.”

“I love matching my hair and makeup to my looks. No matter want I’m wearing I find that simplicity is always key, however that doesn’t mean I can’t make a statement.”

“When I’m picking an outfit I need to have at least one statement piece on. It could be anything from a bold colour, a print or some outlandish earrings, but no matter what I decide to wear I always want to feel confident and sexy. I believe that fashion is all about having fun and trying new things so you can find your personal style.”

InStyle Magazine held their third annual InStyle Awards in LA tonight honoring celebrities who amazed us on the red carpet to the behind-the-scenes glam teams. The dinner hosted by editor-in-chief, Laura Brown honored celebrities like Zendaya, Kate Blanchett, Demi Lovato, and more. Let’s get into the red carpet looks below.

Zendaya rocked an afro to complement her ombré Schiaparelli Fall 2017 Couture gown. She is a star, indeed.

Kate Bosworth shined in an Alexandre Vauthier long sleeve sequin dress. I love the padded shoulder details!

Demi Lovato graced the carpet in an Alice + Olivia silk dress with belt detailing. Her beachy waves and purple eyes added pop to the ensemble.

Selena Gomez kept is simple and chic in a Jaquemus mini dress.

Hello Tulle! Kelly Rowland opted for a Georges Chakra gown paired with the boots of the season, red thigh-high Fendi’s. The boots under the tulle look amazing!

The dynamic duo! These two never disappoint. Chloe x Halle hit the carpet in seafoam green frocks by Elie Saab.

Elle Fanning looked colorful as she hit the carpet in a SS18 Versace dress, fresh off the runway! This look is so fun, and goes perfect with Fanning’s honorary ‘Breakthrough Style Star’ award.

I am here for the details of this jumpsuit! Heidi Klum was effortless in Vionnet.

Lastly, Cindy Crawford gave a hint of leg in a classic Versace dress. Effortless!
