Fashion Bomb Accessories: You Ask, We Answer! Savannah James Attended the NBA Playoffs with LeBron James in a $160 Brown Tyler Lambert Furry Bucket Hat

You ask, we answer! @_lorettathomas says, “Hi inquiring minds would like to know where can we get her hat?”

With class and decorum, Savannah James is definitely one of our favorite basketball wives. Wife to LA Lakers star, LeBron James, Savannah was spotted court-side with her beau at the NBA playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics Monday night.

Opting for all black including a sweatshirt, pantaleggings, and a Hermes bag, Savannah’s brown furry bucket hat was the moment.

Designed by Wisconsin native and bucket hat extraordinaire Tyler Lambert, it’s evident to see that Lambert is a force to be reckoned with when it comes down to the chicest accessories.

Retailing for $160, the soft faux fur bucket hat that Savannah was photographed in, comes in small and large, and is made from 100% polyester with reinforced brim support.

In fact, many celebs have an affinity for Tyler Lambert’s hat designs including celebs like Lori Harvey, Khloe Kardashian, and Doja Cat to name a few.

Savannah looked so bomb next to her high school sweetheart and beau of over two decades. We always love her style, and seeing what she’s going to pull out the hat next.

Check out the video below!

Jada Pinkett Smith Stunned in a Black Archive Alaïa Dress Formerly Worn by the Star in 2004

Naomi Campbell isn’t the only one pulling out archive dresses from her collection as Jada Pinkett Smith was recently captured attending the LGBT Center gala in Los Angeles Saturday evening in an Alaïa dress that the star wore back in 2004.

In an instagram post, the ‘Worthy’ author shared the image below with a caption that read, “Sis had to pull out that Alaïa piece she wore damn near twenty years ago for tonight’s event✨“

The black Alaïa dress that has gold detailing atop and at the waist, is characterized with a high-slit and mid cutouts.

Jada opted for a black open toe heel, and kept her accessories to a minimum with gold hoop earrings, and a bangle.

Can we just get into how exceptionally well Jada has aged over the years? If you recall, Jada initially wore the dress to the Hollywood Awards Gala in 2004 with her life partner, Will Smith.

Now the Actress and Singer is in her fifties, and it’s clear to see that she’s aging like fine wine. With a similar physique to the body figure she had in the early 2000’s, and a face card that doesn’t decline, it makes us wonder what her beauty secrets are.

Whatever she’s doing, we certainly applaud her, and when you prioritize self-love- it undoubtedly shows.

What say you? Hot! or Hmm..?

Award-winning artist Mary J. Blige, who is known for her cutting edge boots has officially collaborated with Giuseppe Zanotti to debut ‘The Mary Boot’ following her Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit this past weekend.

The slouchy rose gold over-the-knee boot which retails for $1,300, were released on Monday, May 13th and are already sold-out. Although the boot’s came with a hefty price-tag, fans have been anticipating ‘The Mary Boot’ for quite some time, so it’s not a surprise that her boots are already out of stock.

Made from reflective rose-gold synthetic fabric, with a heel height of 105 mm, and leather sole that features the brand’s logo, the boots were made in Italy.

While performing at her SOW concert at the Barclay’s center, the ‘Real Love’ singer did her signature two-step on stage in the bronzy gold boots.

Opting for a denim on denim deconstructed look that was characterized with gold hardware, her boots were a standout sensation.

Giuseppe Zanotti, which was founded in 1994 has proven to be a leading Italian luxury footwear brand among celebrities and fashionista’s alike.

Celebrities who have endorsed Giuseppe Zanotti include Tracee Ellis Ross, Tiffany Haddish, Issa Rae, Taylor Swift and many more.

This partnership makes total sense for Mary J. Blige who prides herself on being fashionable and spotted in some of the most lavish labels.

Despite the boots being sold out, Giuseppe Zanotti released a statement on Instagram that stated, “to keep an eye out for an update soon…” so perhaps there will be a restock in the near future.

Congratulations to Mary J. Blige on fulfilling her word, and promising her fans with ‘The Mary Boot.’ We’re so happy to see her vision come to life in the most avant-garde way, and we can’t wait to see what designs she comes up with next!

The 3-day fest consisted of star-studded panels, performances at Brooklyn Barclay’s center and a gospel brunch. Mary J. Blige has become a source of empowerment through motivating discussions, and inspiring activations.

Of course Mary J. Blige arrived fashionably on time to her fest in a peach and green Balmain blazer and skirt set that was the perfect spring ensemble.

She joined the stage with media personality Angie Martinez who opted for an all black Kith outfit, Actress Tasha Smith who wore a nude Cinq a Sept two-piece look, and the multitalented Taraji P. Henson who slayed the scene in a white Monot suit.

In addition, our Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers also had the pleasure of being a panelist alongside other trailblazers in the industry like Bevy Smith, Tahira Joy, and Kim Kimble.

Rocking a cream asymmetrical Rick Owens dress, with a Naked Wardrobe Snake trench, and Aminah Abdul Jillil heels, monochromatic never looked better.

The ladies discussed defining and creating your personal style, whether that be the adoption of different hairstyles or fashionable ensembles.

“Strength of a woman for me was about supporting my sisters in style! I love talking about how to find your personal swag with some of the best in the business,” said Sulmers who originally founded Fashion Bomb Daily in 2006.

Following the panel discussions, Claire reunited with actress Taraji P. Henson on the rooftop, where they discussed their accomplishments, future endeavors, and gave each other their flowers. “I’m here for a reason, and that reason is to serve,” shared Henson.

The Strength of a Woman festival ultimately served as a catalyst for change within our communities. In order to create the change we would like to see in the world, it begins with us.

Claire’s Life: The 2024 Studio Museum in Harlem Spring Luncheon with Thelma Golden, Crystal McCrary, Vanessa Williams, and more!

Happy Wednesdays, Bombers and Bombshells!

It’s been almost a full week since I attended the Studio Museum in Harlem Spring 2024 Luncheon! The Bomb Life has been so busy that I simply haven’t had time to sit down and write, but better late than never!

Last week, I was delighted to be invited to the Studio Museum in Harlem Spring Luncheon for the 2nd time. Since its inception, the Museum’s Spring Luncheon has been a wonderful gathering of artists, business leaders, cultural luminaries, and philanthropists joined together in support of the Museum’s innovative art and education programs.

Me with Crystal McCrary and Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem

While fabulous women gather to support the arts, the Luncheon is also known for its spring ready style. Despite the rain and somewhat frigid temperatures outside, attendees slipped on brightly hued frocks and suits, uplifted by candy colored bomb accessories.

I grabbed a pic with Vanessa Williams who was stunning in a purple suit.

Executive Jerri Devard had another one of my favorite looks from the luncheon! She was smashing in Christopher John Rogers and Stuart Weitzman sandals.

My homegirl Aisha McShaw was lovely in a suit of her design.

Stephanie Horton was a vision in Khaite.

These young ladies were adorable defined in Christopher John Rogers.

Crystal McCrary posed with Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, with Crystal in Aisha McShaw and Thelma in Dries van Noten.

My homegirls Aaliyah and Azhar kept in cute in Chanel and Hermes bags.

And these Bombshells were spot on with florals in the Spring!

For the occasion, I wore a custom tweed dress by Maison Tai, a Mumbai, India based brand. They specialize in couture creations using raw silk, but made something tweed just for me. I loved it!

It’s standard for luncheon guests to head downstairs to the bar area to continue networking. Take a look at a few snaps captured by Salvatore DeMaio:

It’s always a fun time, in support of an amazing cause.
