If you have’t noticed by now, we have somewhat of an undying love for all things Destiny’s Child related. From the hairstyles to the red carpet outfits, we’ve been with Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle since the beginning. Without one person in particular, though, the hairstyles and matching outfits would never have graced a magazine, since she was the one creating and sewing looks for DC3 before designers sought to dress them. Today, we pay homage to the elegant and talented matriarch, Tina Knowles-Lawson.
The hazel-eyed beauty was once the owner and hairstylist of her own salon in Houston, Texas, Headliners. This probably explains why looking as amazing as she does is so paramount. Typically seen sporting her golden locks, whether straight or full of curls…
…she’s been bitten by the brunette bug before, and dark colored hair does her so much justice.
As for makeup, Mrs. Lawson doesn’t need much. A little mascara and her signature red lip is usually all that’s required.
But every now and then she likes to keep things a little pared down with nudes to frame her pout.
These days, we live vicariously through her Instagram page (@mstinalawson) as one of her 1.1 million followers, while she vacations, shares pictures of her beautiful children and grandkids, and shares her corny joke of the day. As corny as they may be, she simply lives to bring light to those who love her.
So here’s to Mrs. Lawson! We love her spirit, her work ethic, and how much of an example she and her daughters set for mothers and black women in general.

The TIME 100 Gala was star-studded! Our favorite actresses, supermodels, TV personalities, and icons were all in attendance.
Let’s get into the night’s looks!
Viola Davis was regal in a purple, asymmetric shoulder Armani gown. Gorgeous!
Ashley Graham sizzled in a crystal choker, Cami NYC duster languidly falling off her shoulders, and a Fleur du Mal lace slip dress, and lace-up, waist cinching belt for the night. This was fab.
Naomi Campbell + Azzedine Alaîa = a sartorial match made in heaven. Thus, we weren’t surprised to see her decked out in a red and black ensemble from the iconic designer.
Margot Robbie shimmered and sparkled in a colorful, embellished Prada gown. Cute, no?
Padma Lakshmi was a floral dream in a strapless design, covered with the classic print. So pretty!
Leslie Jones showed off toned gams in a Tadashi Shoji lace LBD. I live for her.
Trevor Noah and Colin Kaepernick caught up inside the gala. Loving the former’s timeless tux and the latter’s all-black ‘fit. Handsome gentlemen!
Janet Mock served up hair and a stunning look in a black lace Jonathan Simkhai confection. She has been slaying on the red carpet—I have my eye on her!
Fan Bingbing never disappoints in the style department! This time was no exception, with her choosing a red and blush, floral-embroidered Marchesa design with fringe detailing.
A red carpet just isn’t right without a Zuhair Murad sighting. Demi Lovato was clad in a cobalt Fall 2016 Couture gown from the brand, fully equipped with a plunging neckline, embellished bodice, and double slits. Hot!
A colorful, fringe-accented Marchesa number was also on the agenda for Blake Lively. Not for the faint of heart, but I think she did it justice.
Before taking to the stage to perform, John Legend walked the red carpet in a tried-and-true tux. So dapper!
Riz Ahmed make a khaki suit look oh so hot!
Ibtihaj Muhammad easily had one of my favorite looks of the night, glimmering in a long-sleeve, crystal embellished gown.
Ava Duvernay layered a black blazer over a cobalt, full skirt dress. She’s always flawless!
RuPaul and his husband Georges LeBar were suited up. I loved his plaid duo.
Women’s March Co-Chairs Carmen Perez, Bob Bland, Tamika D. Mallory, and Linda Sarsour showed that activism and the red carpet are the perfect complements.
Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins cut a fine form for the evening.
Who had your favorite look at the gala?
We’ve got lots of love for H-town this week!

It has been a year since Lemonade was released—can you believe it? The visual album absolutely changed the game and our lives: no hyperbole necessary. Beyoncé will be welcoming two little ones any day now, thus that’s all the celebration she really needs, but she decided to put a cherry on a top with a major move that gives back—aptly titled The Formation Scholars.
She announced the news on her website today. The scholarships will be awarded to four young women from four universities—Berklee College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design, and Spelman College. And through it, the students’ tuition for the 2017 – 2018 academic year will be funded, though we’re not certain if it will be in full or partially paid for. The Formation Scholars goal? “To encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident,” states Beyoncé.
