Bianca Censori West outfits continue to get more interesting by the day. Yesterday paparazzi captured her and Kanye West leaving Melrose Tanning Salon in Los Angels, with Bianca leaving little to the imagination.
Kanye West has always been known to step outside of the box, and challenge the status quo, especially in the realm of fashion. When we previously saw him styling his former wife Kim Kardashian, there was always a sense of anticipation to see what Kim had on, because her looks were always so forward.
Now Ye’s current wife Bianca is in the spotlight, and as the Architectural Designer of Yeezy, she’s certainly pushing new boundaries. Every time we see her, she’s in a provocative, and revealing look, and Kanye doesn’t seem to disapprove of it.

For this particular outing, Censori West opted for a silver thong bikini, that she paired with a mini metallic skirt that bared her bum. She kept her hair slicked in a bun, and accessorized with white and clear open-toe heels.
In stark contrast to his wife, Ye opted for an all black monochromatic look including a long sleeve top and cargo pants that showed little skin. His look was complimented with chunky boots and black alien-inspired shades.

Black excellence was amplified Saturday evening at the 55th NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles, and it was empowering to see celebrities of color being honored for their contributions in the arts and media.
“The NAACP Image Awards stand as a tribute to their creativity, talent, and dedication to authentic storytelling and are a testament to the richness and diversity of our community,” expressed Derrick Johnson, the President and CEO of the NAACP.
Queen Latifah hosted the black-tie affair, and was all smiles as she greeted attendees in a chocolate Christian Siriano tuxedo gown, that she layered over a black silk bow top and paired with tortoise shades.

This moment was historical for the cast of The Color Purple 2023 musical film as it broke the record for being the most nominated motion picture in the ceremony’s history, with 16 nominations, and 11 wins.
It’s important to note that Forbes.com wrote an article entitled “Oscar Nominations Snub ‘The Color Purple’” which highlights how the original 1985 film is the most nominated movie without winning an award. In addition to how the cast of the Color Purple musical was slighted this year with actress Danielle Brooks being the only cast member to receive an Oscar award as ‘Best Supporting Actress.’
In the great words of Jay-Z during his 2024 Grammy’s speech, “Even by your own metrics it doesn’t work.”
Although award season can be joyful, and perhaps daunting for some, the NAACP Image awards was created to ensure that black artists received their well-deserved accolades, without the fear of being “snubbed.”

The Color Purple cast was a standout sensation with Fantasia Barrino, Taraji Henson and Halle Bailey showing us exactly what black girl magic embodies.
Barrino who won ‘Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture’ opted for a black and white custom Monot dress, styled by Daniel Hawkins.
Taraji Henson illuminated in a yellow 3D Delcore gown, that glistened against her sun-kissed skin and Bulgari jewels as she accepted her award for ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress.’

Halle Bailey looked regal and glamorous in an emerald green Nicole + Felicia gown, and for someone who just secretively gave birth, she got her ‘Little Mermaid’ body back in no time.

Also serving green with envy was the iconic Sheryl Lee Ralph in Georges Hobeika, and Kerry Washington who slayed the scene in Vivienne Westwood. Both ladies looked refined and elegant as they posed in their shimmery lime green frocks.
Actress and Producer Yara Shahidi bet on black in a remarkable Ferragamo dress, styled by Jason Bolden that was characterized with a leather cutout bodice, and was designed to turn heads.

We also had the flyest Fashion Bomb Couples in attendance including Usher and his wife Jennifer, and Megan Good and her beau Jonathan Majors.
Usher came dressed to impress in a black LaQuan Smith suit, and was honored with the ‘Entertainer of the Year’ award. His wife Jennifer matched his fly in a black embellished tuxedo gown by Zuhair Murad.
Meagan Good, who has been standing 10-toes down for her boyfriend Jonathan Majors, wore a black lace Michael Costello gown, styled by Philippe Uter. Contrary, Majors kept things playful and eclectic with a silk floral shirt under his black tux.
If you thought the men of the hour looked dapper in their tuxedos, KeKe Palmer looked both androgynous and exquisite in her Tom Ford and Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo. We loved to see the juxtaposition, and admired how poised and confident KeKe looked.

The NAACP Image Awards has created a platform and safe space for people of color to thrive, flourish, and be recognized for their greatness. We absolutely loved seeing our favorite celebrities show up and brilliantly own the spotlight in all their glory.
An enchanting evening with celebs polished to perfection as they walked down the red carpet Sunday evening at the 96th Academy Awards held inside of the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

With movies like Oppenheimer , Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon leading the pack with multiple nominations, and popular films like Barbie, and The Holdovers also taking home awards- the ceremony was quite unforgettable.
When it came down to the fashion, you know the big dreamers and film makers didn’t back down from the spotlight.

The Fur and Leather Centre crossed the Atlantic earlier this month to debut new artful, electrifying pieces during Paris Fashion Week!
Creative director Tiara Peach continues to push the limits of fur fabrications, using pelts to create pants, skirts, and sequined separates.
When we think of fur we think of coats, but in Paris, The Fur and Leather Centre offered multicolored boots, ivory hued hats, and peachy coordinated sets with mink muffs.
We can’t get over all the amazing looks we saw at the Vanity Fair Oscar after party, but one fashion bomb couple who looked madly in love, and had us reading the room, was Usher and his wife Jennifer Goicoechea Raymond.
That’s right! The man who had us glued to our screens last month during his half-time performance at the Super Bowl, and practically seduced every woman who attended his Las Vegas residency, officially tied the knot on Feb. 11th.
Fast-forward to this past Sunday, and the Raymonds looked like a match made in heaven. Usher opted for designer Valentino at the Vanity Fair extravaganza while Jennifer bet on Alaïa .

His silver custom made sequins top had a low plunge neckline that showed off his pectoral muscles.

For a fresh finishing, Usher wore crisp white trousers, and white ankle boots that were characterized with an almond toe and cuban heel.

Contrary to her hubby, Jennifer looked snatched and curvaceous in a black hooded Alaïa dress that was complimented with a singular long black glove .

When it came down to her accessories, she wore black circular frames, and had diamonds bracelets on her wrist, along with a wedding ring that was iced out. Her black open toe heels added cohesion to her all black monochromatic ensemble.

We’re so happy to see Usher and Jennifer happily in love, and based on the body language, and the energy that these two exude, we hope that this unison last for an eternity.
Stars made a sartorial entrance at Vanity Fair’s 2024 Oscar party Sunday evening held inside of the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.
Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones hosted the post show bash that included the “who’s who” of Hollywood, and there were a multitude of celebrities who arrived with their A-game!
Blown away might be an understatement when it came down to Kim Kardashian who arrived in an architectural white Balenciaga dress, and Ciara who was a sheer goddess in Usama Ishtay.
Not to mention Victoria Monet who served oriental realness, and Kelly Rowland who offered a new spin on old Hollywood glam–we clearly know who the fashionista’s are.
When it came down to celebrities who dared to be different, and stepped outside of the box, Tracee Ellis Ross opted for a white and black pre-fall ’24 Balmain dress, and actress MJ Rodriguez played with silhouettes in Iris Van Herpen.

‘To Be Celebrated’ was the theme of The Black Excellence Brunch hosted by Trell Thomas Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.
Celebrities are often honored and recognized for their accomplishments, while the people who serve as a catalyst for their success, oftentimes go unacknowledged in the public eye.
However, at The Black Excellence Brunch over the weekend, Thomas changed the narrative and created a sacred space for celebs to pay tribute to their love ones who have been in their corner, rooting them on, and helping to see their vision come to life.
American Actress and TV Host, Niecey Nash wore a custom nude off the shoulder bodycon dress as she celebrated her wife Jessica Betts.
In a sentimental speech to Betts who opted for a look by ‘Richfresh’, Nash shared, “I thank you for encouraging me in so many ways, and let me tell you from the day I met you, it has just been MORE for me.”
In addition to Nash and many others, the beautiful Kyla Pratt showed up in a burnt orange Steve Madden wrap dress to celebrate her mother, who has been her #1 supporter throughout her Hollywood journey.
Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers was also in attendance and flew back from Paris Fashion Week to report live from the Black Excellence Brunch.
Dressed in a nude sequins ZCRAVE dress, Claire layered her look with a snakeskin leather trench coat that was complimented with the matching thigh high boots for the perfect cohesion.
Sulmers was able to catch up with New York Times Bestselling Author, Tabitha Brown who wore all white for the special occasion including a rhinestone embellished Je T’aime shirt and blazer. We also loved Tabitha’s stunna shades.
In addition, Sulmers chatted with Niecey Nash herself, TV personality Kendall Kyndall, celebrity hairstylist Bernon Francois, and Joey Harris among many more attendees.
A round of applause to Kelly Rowland who has showed us exactly why she’s a triple threat in her latest Netflix film ‘Mea Culpa’, produced by film extraordinaire Tyler Perry.
Rowland, who stars as the leading lady Mea Harper, takes us on whirlwind as a Lawyer when she chooses to take on a case involving a controversial artist named Zyair Malloy (played by Trevante Rhodes).
A platonic relationship quickly turns south when a steamy romance develops between the two. However there’s a plot twist that thickens towards the end of the film that will certainly have you on the edge of your seat.
Both Kelly and Trevante have been doing press runs and photo shoots to promote the Netflix film that topped Netflix’s Global Top 10 chart in its first week with 32 million hours viewed according to Screen Rant.
As per usual, Rowland’s wardrobe, make-up and hair has been absolutely exquisite. For one of their press shoots, Kelly wore a long camel double-breasted Luar dress with the matching gloves, styled by Kollin Carter.
Her oversize shoulder pads on her dress added a personal charm that was strikingly beautiful on the ‘Motivation’ singer.
Contrary to Kelly, her co-star Trevante Rhodes (known as Zyair in the film) stayed in character and on theme as he posed practically bare in front of a easel board with an apron on .
His rich chocolate muscular physique was appeasing to the eye and let’s just say, Tyler Perry knew exactly what he was doing when he casted Rhode. Hello?!
On another occasion, Rowland posed in a Yellow and black zebra printed GCDS FW23 dress, that was layered with an ultra bright yellow wool coat, and had us screaming “YESSSS!” Celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen had her bob haircut bobbin, and make-up artist Sheika Daley made sure her face card didn’t decline.
It’s evident that Kelly Rowland has an incredible team behind her. Celebrity Stylists Kollin Carter, and Wilford Lenov always go above and beyond to ensure she’s on her A-game! Word on the street is that she’s a very pleasant person to work with so we’re sure it makes for a perfect partnership.
If you haven’t watched ‘Mea Culpa’ on Netflix, you are late. Check out the film, and let us know your thoughts!
