Happy Tuesday, folks!
Instead of popping by the BET Awards, this past weekend found me in Dallas for Cocktails with Claire! Sponsored by K Mills collection, the all white affair included a musical performance by Madelyn Brene, networking, and an informative panel on entrepreneurship featuring Mahisha Dellinger from Curls, Jacque M of Shop Jacque M, Arnita Johnson of Luxurious Credit, and Destiny Gill of Vanity Life Studio, moderated by radio show host Dede McGuire.
Bombshells like Anita Hawkins, Lizzy O, Kenya Mills, and more came to slay in their all white ‘fits.
After meeting and greeting D-Town Bombshells, I signed copies of the Bomb Life and called it a fabulous day!
Kenya Mills was kind enough to bring me to Dallas to host the event! If you’d like me to come host a Cocktails with Claire in your town, email BookClaire@FashionBombDaily.com and let’s make it happen!

Actress Jenny Slate went for bold at the Despicable Me 3 Los Angeles premiere in the same Alice McCall Fall 2017 Floral-Printed Fringe Detail My All Skirt and Dream Lover Fringe Detail Top that Kelly Rowland wore for the latest episode of The Voice Australia:
While Jenny enlivened the look with fab metallic ankle strap footwear, Kelly opted for Gianvito Rossi black open toe ankle strap sandals and a chic gold cuff. The sleek floral print ensemble hails from the Fall 2017 collection and features statement fringe detailing.
I love this set and both ladies rocked it, but if I had to choose, Kelly will definitely snag the gold!

We are starting off the week right with today’s Bombshell! Behold, Ivy Coco from New York, NY.
She writes, “I am a forthright fashion writer/blogger who believes in standing out because fitting in is not my forte.”
“My style is very eclectic because it derives from a wide range of my cultural styles. I love that one day I can wake up feeling like a boho pop princess and the next day I am a total tomboy rockstar. My style doesn’t define me, I define my style.”
“Every morning before I step into a new day, I look into the mirror knowing that when I look good, I feel good, but most importantly when I feel good, I look good.”

Duckie Thot was the lady in red, outfitted in a one-shoulder, ruffle cutout gown. Simply stunning!

Kat Graham was a veritable optical illusion in a geometric print, long-sleeve Raisa and Vanessa piece with sultry cutout accents.

Sevyn served curves in an embellished keyhole Yousef Al-Jasmi gown with sheer cutout panels that hugged her body like a glove.
Justine Skye dropped jaws in an embellished bustier-inspired dress. She’s always flawless.
Everything was coming up florals for Letoya Luckett, who was clad in a long-sleeve Candice Cuoco gown in the classic print with a low-cut neckline and a thigh-high slit. So hot!
Tammy Rivera flaunted midriff and décolletage in a long-sleeve, tie-waist polka dot crop top and high-waist wide leg trousers. I would totally wear this.
Dascha Polanco was suited up in an all-white pairing with a plunging neckline and ruffle shoulder detailing. She’s never looked better!
Goapele was pretty in pink, stunning in a one-shoulder fuchsia dress and statement-making earrings. She’s unbelievably gorgeous.

Garcelle Beauvais showcased her toned gams in a beaded wrap mini dress.
Ryan Destiny tried on the dress over pants in a strapless, zip-front long leather top over denim—both by Misbhv. Chic, am I right?

Who had your favorite look at the awards show? Stay tuned as we update with all of the night’s looks!
It’s Friday, so you already know what time it is! It’s time to take look at the looks you guys lusted over this week on the ‘Gram. Here’s what we’ve got based on your likes:
The ever so gorgeous, Gabrielle attended the Valentino SS18 RTW Menswear show in Paris with her husband Dwayne Wade in a beautiful floral print Valentino maxi dress. It looked as though she was gliding in this chic number wearing her tresses in loose curls for an effortless look. The sleeveless dress was perfect to show off those toned arms of hers and of course it helps that she had her beau in tow to match her fly.
Rihanna wore this Dior Resort 2018 eyelet balloon sleeve dress in Paris to present the LVMH prize award. Who better to present this than Riri herself (a fashion icon in her own right). We all know Rihanna can pretty much slay in just about anything; leave it to Dior to create a high fashion prairie dress that’s all sorts fly.
Though the Dior models wore hats down the runway, Rihanna made sure to make it her own by adding a scarf underneath a tilted hat, adding to her swag. You guys sure know how to pick ’em!
Jlo has been spotted just about everywhere with her beau Arod. While out in Paris, she wore a Gucci pussy bow long sleeve dress. Now typically, this would be a secretaries attire back in the day, but I love how designers and stars alike are revamping these vintage looks to be worn a plethora of ways.
The flow and sophistication of the dress is ideal for a day out in Paris. Her oversized sunnies and neutral toned accessories were the perfect pairings for such a posh look.
From the vibrant colors of her top, to the matching lip color, Zendaya is literally popping in this Delpozo ensemble! The paperboy waist culottes cinch her just right at the waist. I particularly love how this well constructed ‘fit is styled with a messy bun giving it a bit of edge. Everything about this look just pops!
The Kimono trend is not going anywhere soon as evidenced here by Michelle. The key to a killer Kimono is the print. The one she is wearing by Ottdubai certainly fits the bill. I love how this is styled with a pair of lace up pants by ‘Zeya by Zendaya’; it’s a different take from what we’ve seen with Kimono’s as of late and I’m here for it!
Her flattering body-con style frock features a zip at centre back and at the bottom of skirt with a supportive lined bra cup.
“My style is very eclectic because it derives from a wide range of my cultural styles. I love that one day I can wake up feeling like a boho pop princess and the next day I am a total tomboy rockstar. My style doesn’t define me, I define my style.”
