Happy Friday!
It’s the end of another fabulous week and the sun is shining! But before we prance into the sunlight, let’s take a quick look back at the most liked looks on the ‘Gram:

1. Childish Gambino in Gucci: 12,609 Likes

It’s not often we have men featured in Look of the Week, and it’s not often he nabs first place. But over 12,000 voted the Gucci look he wore to the brand’s 2018 Cruise show hot! Everything from his smize to his cool sneaks spoke to us. Keep it up!

2. Jada Pinkett Smith in Maria Lucia Hohan: 12,411 Likes

Jada Pinkett Smith makes herself pretty sparse on the celeb circuit, but when she steps out, she slays! Yes high slit, yes thigh, yes golden hue! This Maria Lucia Hohan dress was pure perfection.

3. Kris Jenner in Gianvito Rossi: 9,130 Likes

We’re not quite sure who stole the show with this pic: North West, Penelope, and Mason or Kris Jenner’s easy gray cardigan and Gianvito Rossi boots. Either way, Madame Jenner embodies the ‘Glam-ma’ moniker, and works it well.

4. Rihanna in Juun J: 8,746 likes

Rihanna has been sidling up to the oversized/off the shoulder trend a lot recently, and pledged her allegiance yet again with this Juun J number, secured with a Margiela boot. Only Queen Rih can make everything look so effortless. Over 8,000 of you agreed.

5. Alesha Dixon & Jennifer Hudson in Dsquared2: 8,330 likes

Though we can’t really decide who wore it better, we can agree that the golden yellow tone of Dsquared2’s Colby ruffle dress looks smashing on brown skin tones, aptly displayed by Jennifer Hudson and Alesha Dixon. The high slit, the feminine ruffles…this dress is bomb, no matter how you slice it.


That does it!
Who did you think had the best look this week?

Happy Friday!

Today we have fashion Bomber Michael from Kingston Jamaica, who currently resides in Miami.

He writes, “My style is like a chameleon, very versatile; one day I can be clad in a fitted suit then on the same breathe I can take it to the streets.”

“I use fashion as an expression to how I want others to see me, I mix high and low fashions which is an expression of art, Because of my love for fashion and suits I created the Lepremier Miami brand in 2016 with custom bespoke tailoring/suits.”

“My hobbies are traveling I’ve visited South Africa, Paris, and the Middle East and many others, for my love of traveling I started a blog to inspire young African Americans to travel often and dress well while doing it, to open their minds to the world and be as regal as possible.”

More below:

Thanks, Michael! You are a true chameleon! To see more of Michael’s style visit his Instagram @youngmikeofficiall and Twitter @youngmikelp.

It’s been a while since we’ve had Mail Bombs, but the inquiries have been trickling in for this past week!

Let’s get it popping!
First up, we have Chloe who says, “I’ve searched hi & low for these shades, without any luck. I know you guys can find celeb items. PLEASE tell me Who makes these sunglasses seen on the gorge Bonang M?”

Bonang smized for the ‘Gram in a pair of $380 Opening Ceremony x Gentle Monster Zhora Sunglasses:

Sadly, they are sold out! But Fashion Bomb favorite brand Tnemnroda has a look for less! Their $45 At Your Best Sunnies come in a slew of colors (and I hear they are adding black soon).

Get yours here.

Anesa types, “Do you know where this top is from?”

Yep! Our former First Lady stepped out in a $397 Teija One Shoulder Poplin Shirt:

Get her top here.

Steph says, “I don’t see you doing mail bombs anymore, but decided to give it a try anyways! I absolutely love Kourtney K’s outfit, can you break it down for us? And maybe give us low version (am I asking too much!?)”

You’re not asking too much! Kourtney stepped out wearing a $620 Vetements x Champion Sweatshirt:

Recreate her look below:

That does it!

Have wonderful days!
Smootches!

CHANEL put on its latest Metiers D’art Collection in Tokyo! A few familiar faces were in the mix, but Japanese stars definitely stole the show.

Let’s get into the show’s looks!

It was all about red and black for beauty Willow Smith. I’ll take that top and those pumps please!

Selah Marley kept it simple yet chic in a “Gabrielle Chanel” graphic tee and gold pumps.

There were so many amazing celeb beauty looks! Crystal Kay’s retro-inspired ‘do was gorgeous—a great complement to her sheer quilted turtleneck, high-waist leather shorts, chain-link embellished sandals, and swoon-worthy stripe bag from the brand.

I’ve been dreaming about Chiaki Hatakeyama’s navy suede, button-front jumpsuit and single earring since I saw her look. Her buzz cut was also poppin’.

I actually need Alisa Ueno’s crochet top, colorful midi skirt, and kicks right now. So dope.

Japanese music duo AMIAYA made me want a pink bob, new Chanel bag, and some platform sandals STAT. Clearly, these Japanese stars are fly!

Tao Okamoto looked every bit the model in a sheer-sleeve LBD, logo belt from the house, and purple suede cap-toe boots. Gorgeous, no?

Aya Omasa’s ensemble read quite autumnal, but it was chic nonetheless! I wouldn’t mind seeing her quilted leather trousers in my closet.

Ryo Ryusei put an artful spin on the house’s signature black and white palette, choosing a bomber jacket, high-waist, wide-leg ankle length trousers, and studded sandals.

Japanese songstress Beni gave a fun spin to the classic all-black look, clad in a textured sweater and quilted mini skirt. Hot!

Kabuki actor Sennosuke Kataoke wore traditional Japanese garb for the occasion. I loved seeing this in the front row.

I am living for Yu Akimoto’s blunt bangs, though her embellished top and wide-leg trousers were pretty cool as well!

LALA’s bob was on point, as was her boudoir-inspired getup.

Eri Tachibana slipped on a check, trench-inspired dress, mini bucket bag, and timeless Chanel flats. So cute!

DJ Kurumi Nakada was outfitted in a silky parka, sheer lace jumpsuit, and studded pumps.

Nana Komatsu was ethereal in an embroidered dress with a sheer skirt and long sleeves.

Who had your favorite look at the show?

Rihanna’s love affair with oversized clothing seems to be here to stay.  The stylish songstress attended the Revolve x Made Worn x The Roc 96 party in LA wearing a Juun.J Fall 2017 white men’s shirt as a dress. 

The look appeared on the brand’s Fall 2017 runway, and was paired with pants and boots.

Bad Gal Rih Rih kept her accessories subtle with a Maison Margiela transparent belt wrapped around her waist and transparent heels adorning her feet.  Her lime green nails added the only pop of color to her neutral ensemble.

This look is perfect for Rihanna.  Men’s shirts as dresses are a sexy style that very few can pull off – leave it to Rih to kill it!  Are you here for Rihanna’s Juun.J look?  We want to hear from you!  Vote below!

 

Hot! or Hmm…: Rihanna’s Revolve Juun.J Oversized White Shirt

I am totally here for it!

Nah…I’m not feeling it.

Fanny packs aren’t new or old, it’s…a little bit of both. But there’s something about that waist bag this season that’s drawing some fashion forward attention.

Let’s face it, fanny packs will forever cross paths within the world of fashion. Since the 80’s it’s been a phenomenal staple that fashion lovers love to hate or keep rocking!

This year it’s coming back fresher than ever because it’s simply more versatile and can be worn with practically anything these days.

You can thank Gucci’s fall/winter 2017 ad campaign, Supreme x Louis Vuitton’s fall/winter ’17 campaign, DKNY spring/summer ’17 ready-to-wear collection, Balenciaga and even Rihanna’s Fenty Puma line for that, as well as many other known designers who are keeping this look alive.

The style is expressive and designers made that known. Fenty Puma spring/summer ’17 collection for instance, has oversized bow-like shaped belt bags (another name for fanny packs) that have you wondering if it’s still actually a bag or just a huge bow-tie accessory?!

From the runways, to ad campaigns, to online retail shops, to the streets fanny packs are seen more oversized, elegant and sportier. And the detailing this season speaks on its own: quilted leather, fur, patchwork, nylon and even clear belt bags are seen trending.

Celebrities like Kendall Jenner, A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, and even Dwayne “The Roc” Johnson who did a blast from the past spin for SNL in May in order to recreate his iconic social media frenzy photo of himself rocking a fanny pack. Nevertheless they are all sporting the trend with their own swag in the mix.

What do you think? Would you rock it? Or knock it?
