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!

Fashion News: Victoria’s Secret is Collaborating With Balmain

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!

Throwback Thursdays #TBT: The Style Evolution Nicole Scherzinger

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!

The collection will be available at only eight locations globally including Bergdorf Goodman in New York and the Christian Louboutin Boutique in Los Angeles.

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.”

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Karissa from Rhode Island

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s Bombshell is Karissa from Rhode Island.

She writes, “I would describe my style as unique. 85% of my wardrobe is thrifted and vintage. I love the thrill of the hunt when thrift shopping and looking for vintage pieces! It is fascinating to me to see how well made clothes from the past stand the test of time!”

“It can be challenging at times to work with a piece that I may fall in love with that looks and feels dated however I do my best to bring a modern approach to every look! My favorite era is definitely the 70’s!’

“Everyone knows that fashion just recycles itself, so that’s basically what I do with a fresh take! Sustainable Fashion!”

“I also own and an online concept shop selling new, pre-loved and vintage clothing named Black Manhattan, Black-Manhattan.com. The store also focuses on a conscious, culture, art lifestyle through articles written on the site!”

“Everyone of these looks are either vintage or thrifted to some degree! Some are even head to toe thrifted!”

Thanks Karissa! Your shoe game is awesome!
