On The Scene: The 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards with Cardi B in Laurel Dewitt, Ryan Destiny in Public School, Keyshia Kaoir in Gucci, and more!

Music artists and industry officials took over Miami Beach last night as the annual BET Hip-Hop Awards went down. The green carpet saw a lot of curve-hugging looks and lots of Gucci, of course! Let’s get into these head turning looks below.

 

Cardi B, who won “Hustler of the Year” shined on the carpet in a Laurel Dewitt dress showing off lots of legs!

Ryan Destiny is such a bombshell! She wore a white and black Public School ensemble. Effortless!

Black Chyna flaunted her curves in a two-piece set by Dare To Be Vintage.

Flo Rida was decked out in Gucci from head-to-toe with a bedazzled headband, tee, and sneakers all by Gucci.

Hello curves! Bride-to-be, Keyshia Ka’oir sparkled on the carpet in a Gucci bodysuit and our favorite YSL boots that all the celebs are loving!

More Gucci! Tammy Rivera and Waka Flocka complemented each other in their Gucci ensembles. I’m loving the shoulder tulle details on Tammy’s dress!

King Combs kept it chill with a Visitor On Earth tracksuit. He is always a bomber in whatever he wears!

Dave East was another celeb who wore a tracksuit on the carpet! The Harlem rapper turned heads, as usual in a Fear of God tracksuit.

DJ Khaled, the host of the awards and his adorable son Asahd stole the show on the carpet! They both wore Gucci!

Be sure to catch the Hip-Hop Awards on BET October 10, 8P/7C. What do you think of the green carpet looks this year?

Look of the Week (The Top 5 Most Liked Looks on Instagram): Kerry Washington in Dolce & Gabbana, Tamar Braxton in Forever 21, Beyoncé in Greedilous, and More!

Here we are again, to give you the run down on who had the hottest looks of the week, for yet another Holiday weekend. It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t get your long weekend started off on a fashionable note.

Here’s who you deemed worthy of your double taps on Instagram:

1. Kerry Washington in Dolce & Gabbana: 21,020 Likes

Kerry looked pristine in a flirty jacquard Dolce & Gabbana dress for the Late Show. I love me a good jacquard print and this is just the right tone for the fall season. Gushing over the pairing of the plush velvet sandals, also a season must have.

2. Tamar Braxton in Forever21: 11,995 Likes

Apparently, Tamar fired a stylist for their ill remarks towards her decision to wear this army fatigue jumpsuit from the Forever21 brand to an appearance on Essence, which the stylist felt was beneath her. In essence, Tamar responded stating that clothes do not make her who she is. What a beautiful reminder of what fashion is all about! Here she is rocking the heck out of a now, sold out jumpsuit, with a hot pair of Louboutin’s to match. This is high-low fashion at its best!

3. Beyoncé in Greedilous: 11,768 Likes

Another week, another date night for the Carter’s. Bey stepped out in a more laid back outfit this week with an embroidered Greedilous shift dress paired with neutral sandals and a trusty Louis Vuitton handbag. All the right ingredients for a casual slay, don’t ya think?

4. Rihanna in YSL: 11,397 Likes

I mean, YSL has done it again with these furry boots Riri posed in. I know I do not stand alone when I say, the boots are the only things I see in this picture; not the mini dress, not the room decor, but THE BOOTS! Rih, is always one to make a statement and this was no exception. Talk about a wow factor!

5. Zendaya in Dundas: 9,168 Likes

Zendaya looked as sweet as could be for an appearance on Good Morning America. The gorgeous Dundas suit she wore deemed her “Pretty in Pink” as they say. The flirty curls and high ponytail added to the aesthetic of it all and we are totally here for it. Can Zendaya ever do any wrong?

There you have it!

Who do you think had the best look?

Fashion Bomber of the Day: Stixx from Brooklyn

Happy Friday!
Today’s Bomber is Stixx from Brooklyn, NY
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.”

Fashion Bomb Exclusive: Tamar Braxton’s ‘Fired’ Stylist Speaks Out About $40 Forever 21 Jumpsuit; Says it Was A Misunderstanding

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!

Fall 2017 Shopping: The Blazer Checked Dress + 5+ Times Celebs and Style Bloggers Rocked it Right

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:
