Chances are if you grew up during the nineties, you had this week’s throwback blasting through your casette player during personal moments of both heartbreak and triumph.  With soul-quaking lyrics sung over a melodic piano and hard hitting drums, Hip-Hop Soul was born, and Mary J. Blige is still the reigning queen of this genre.

Just as noteworthy as her music is her sense of style.  From fitted caps and baseball jerseys to couture gowns on red carpets, MJB has never shied away from serving a look to get the people talking.

The nineties were a time of bold prints and lots of urban flair when it came to Blige.  Baseball jerseys, oversized athletic jackets were a part of her steeze, as her style reflected that of many of the girls from the Bronx during this era.  And who can forget those iconic “Not Gon’ Cry” sunglasses?    MJB began to experiment with her style even further, especially during red carpet appearances.  Outfits gilded in gold paisley, baroque prints and vivid fur coats draped over sparkly gowns became the norm whenever Blige hit the carpet.
      Eventually, the silhouettes of her outfits became more streamlined.  More column dresses featuring halters or asymmetry at the shoulders or sleeves came into play as Mary became more fashion forward.  Mary also loves to switch things up when the occasion doesn’t call for a floor length gown.  She kills it in separates, especially in pieces that feature geometric prints.    Though she’s been in the game for almost thirty years, there really is no stopping Mary as the slay is still consistent.  Column dresses are still her favorite silhouette to consider, but these days, she may be inclined to show a little leg, evidenced by her saucy La Perla gown worn at this year’s Met Gala.  From Reem Acra to Gucci and J. Mendel, and with Jason Bolden as her style architect, how can she do wrong?

 

So here’s to Mary J. Blige, a pioneer of the music world who defined the genre of Hip-Hop Soul, a beacon of hope to women who struggle to keep a positive outlook on life, and a style icon with looks to last a lifetime.

The LA Premiere of Spider-Man: Homecoming bowed last night, with a smattering of stars in attendance. Take a look:

Zendaya better SLAY! She was a vision in a custom Ralph and Russo pink gown, pink Casadei pumps, and Bulgari jewels. Law Roach did that. This is definitely a frontrunner for Look of the Week!

Karen Gillan plucked a velvety Self Portrait Fall 2017 dress for the event.

Marisa Tomei stepped out a lace and metallic detailed Zuhair Murad gown.

Yara Shahidi looked smart in a $1,690 Monse striped wrap top and $425 Tamara Mellon Frontline sandals. I need those shoes!

Ms. Beauvais never misses a red carpet! She paired a $195 House of CB Eliza bodycon dress with Dsquared2 Riri sandals.

I am definitely here for Selenis Leyva’s metallic striped coat.

Velvet was a popular choice for the carpet! Cue Laura Harrier’s wine colored Calvin Klein frock. She’s a beauty!

Lastly, Abraham Attah sidled up to African prints.
That does it! Who had your favorite look from the Spiderman premiere?

Louis Vuitton is not pleased with Amazon right now! The French giant has taken Amazon to task for allowing sellers to promote and sell knockoffs on the world-wide e-commerce site.

According to Fashionista, it’s “war” between the two. Louis Vuitton won the first round once a judge called on a preliminary injunction hearing which will block all Amazon sellers involved in this counterfeiting business.

This case will continue until a final determination is reached. If Louis Vuitton wins, the company is expected to receive $60-million from Amazon for allowing sellers to mock the authentic logo and designs.

Alesha Dixon added a little sass and a whole lot of style to The X Factor Edinburgh show sporting a white off-the-shoulder crop top and black $390 Beaufille Navi satin-jacquard flared pants. 

These slim fitting pants sit high on the waist, hug the thigh area, and flare at the bottom.

They can be worn with or without a belt, and they feature a concealed zipper closure in the back.

These stylish pants can jazz up any simple ensemble.  I believe this is one of Alesha’s best looks that she has worn on The X Factor.  I absolutely need these pants!  If you’re up for the splurge as well, purchase your pair here.

SZA gave us all the Summer beauty inspiration we needed at the 2017 BET Awards. With her flawless skin and voluminous hair, it’s hard to not be mesmerized by the smooth-singing beauty. Her curly half-up, half-down hairstyle at the awards show was coiffed by none other than famed stylist Larry Sims. Thus, we had to get the breakdown to recreate her showstopping tresses for the balmy weeks ahead.

1. Start by washing your hair with moisturizing shampoo & conditioner.

2. Next, blow dry your tresses, in no particular direction, from the root to create volume—leaving your natural curl pattern.

3. Pull your strands at the tip while blow drying to extend length. Use texturizing hairspray for added texture.

4. Use a Mason Pearson brush to brush hair from tip to root—creating increased volume.

5. Create a center part and wave the front of your hair using a tiny barrel curling iron.

6. Gather the sides of your hair and create a half-up, half down ponytail—while leaving strands along the sides of your face.

7. Add a smoothing pomade to your edges to lay them down.

8. Finish with hairspray that provides volume and shine.
