Donatella Versace and her in-house team launched the Versus Versace Spring 2018 presentation during London Fashion Week. The coed collection was inspired by the autonomous nature of the brand in the 90s. Bold metal chokers, frisky fishnet dresses and sleek panel knitwear all captured the chic & racy rockstar essence of the brands earlier days.
Layered with a dash of tailored sophistication, this runway celebration also included embellished metal fringed cross body bags, transparent heels and a classic printed pistachio design that took the runway by storm. These stand alone statement pieces are fashioned for the liberated ones who dare to push the fashion envelope.
What I enjoyed most was the hardcore edge the designs exuded while still maintaining the sexy nature of the brand. I can foresee celebs from Pharrell to Bad gal Rih rocking out in these fierce pieces with ease.
The VH1 Hip Hop Honors went down last night, and the 90s fashion that filled Paramount studios in LA had us all kinds of nostalgic! Army fatigue, bubble coats, plaid and colorful prints were some of the styles donned by our favorite celebrities, and of course we got the scoop on it all! Let’s get into it below.
Kelly Rowland was absolutely in a 90s state of fashion wearing a Calvin Klein plaid blazer over a Alexander Wang slip dress. Her Gucci shades and Gianvito Rossi heels added the right amount of swag to her look.
It was just one of them days for our girl Monica Brown to slay. Her plaid Alexander Wang suit and Gianvito Rossi over-the-knee boots took us back to the days when her album Miss Thang stayed on repeat.
Remy Ma did not come to play in this Gucci python print jumpsuit covered by a one-shoulder bubble coat by JunJie and Laquan Smith lace up boots. Go Remy!
Faith Evans sprinkled a bit of class and color to the occasion in this Gucci velvet poppy print jacket and pants ensemble.
Karreuche Tran channeled her inner Halle Berry in bra suspenders and vintage jeans by Versace. Super dope!
What’s more 90s than the classic Versace print? Rocsi Diaz got the throwback idea and looked super sexy executing it!
Regina Hall, the host of the event, was stunning in a sequined floor length gown by Elisabetta Franchi.
Jordan sneakers and an embellished, army fatigue flight suit was Eva Marcille’s uniform for this event. Comfortable and cute is always a great combo!
NeNe Leakes was casual yet chic in a Gucci t-shirt and midi length, flared skirt.
Blac Chyna gave us Salt-n-Pepa vibes in this yellow cropped jacket and Adidas tennis shoes.
T.I. looked absolutely regal in this yellow vintage jacket, silk black shirt and distressed jeans.
Christian Combs was every bit of his father, Diddy, in a Supreme sweatshirt, painted jeans, and Timberland boots.
DJ Khaled and his mini me Asahd were twinning in baby blue velour track suits and Off-White + Nike sneakers.
Who had your favorite 90s look? What would you have worn to this event?
This week we are showing lots of love to London Bombshells. Especially if you attended Cocktails With Claire in London!
Today’s Bombshell is servin’ with lots of edgy looks. Behold Olivia from London, UK.
She writes, “I am a fashion stylist and style blogger from London, U.K. I believe I have a simple minimalist style.”
“However, my outfits do depend on my mood or even my hairstyle. I’ve had short hair for more than 5 years. It gives me the confidence to try different ways of dressing.”
“I love standing out and being different from the crowd. It’s all about having fun and expressing yourself.”
“You can check out my Instagram page (@olivianatalie) or website (oliviaakot.com) for my outfit ideas and inspiration.”

Behold what David Nyanzi was able to capture:
Black and white is always chic! Add flavor with a colorful accent, like rose colored shades.
Athleisure is always trending. This young lady took her look to the limit in Puma separates.
A sheer embroidered skirt added punch to a white button down shirt. Chic sunglasses and a beret were welcome accents.
Jaden Smith is a force to be reckoned with. After growing up in Malibu, California, and having two prominent African-American actors as a mom and dad, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, he has certainly blossomed into his own with acting, rapping, modeling, designing, fashion, and philanthropy. He is one-of-a-kind and typically likes to keep it that way. That is why he is our Man Crush for the day.
Since ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ debuted in 2006, Jaden has shaped his own identity, from his swag, signature loc’ed styles, and clothes.
Goodbye locks! At the 2017 Met Gala Jaden felt it was time for a change but still wanted to say one last farewell to his signature look. Since then, he’s turned over a new leaf, experimenting with hair dyes from blonde to shades of red. We won’t be surprised if there are more hairstyles to come.
This young entrepreneur is steadily killin’ the fashion scene. He enjoys layering his looks, oversized apparel, prints, knitted clothing, and wearing mix-matched shoes. In an aesthetic described as streetwear mixed with skater gear, no one can touch Jaden’s sartorial swagger.
So I’m in London for Cocktails with Claire U.K. (Get your tickets at PopFresh.Eventbrite.co.uk)!
Yes, I hopped on a British Airways flight and should be resting, but am wide awake, tapping away. It will take me a while to get over the Jet Lag, but I’d figured I’d use this time to update The Bomb Life! Before I left for London, I had a book signing at the Just Bobbi shop on the first floor of Lord & Taylor!
Lots of fly Bombers and Bombshells stopped by, including Carmen Lilly, Alishia Crutchfield, Arnold Milfort, Efe Tommy, and Ty Hunter!
I also met lots of new readers. It was fun and fabulous! And now, my book is available at a retail store. You can stop by Lord & Taylor at 424 5th Avenue in New York and get a signed copy of my book at the Just Bobbi store! How cool!
Beyonce has a thing for House of CB! She’s worn the affordable brand for many occasions, and even hit up the Diamond Ball last night in New York in a $165 Serafina dress by the brand:
She added doses of glamour with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and $795 Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandals. Jay Z looked dapper himself in a Burberry tux.
Her dress skims the frame and features a high slit.
The velvet, leather, and satin sandals are set on a sturdy platform to balance the towering block heel.
Mixing high and low? I like it!
Get Bey’s dress here and her shoes at Net a Porter.
