Hey everyone!

Let’s dive deep into our lovely contenders! So, brace yourselves, because the #BlackGirlMagic is intense this week!

1) Katy Perry in Adam Selman

Katy Perry stepped out for Universal Music Group’s 2017 Brit Awards party in a fresh-off-the-runway Fall 2017 rose-embroidered sheer set by designer extraordinaire Adam Selman. We’re fully aware of the popularity behind the pajama trend so to see celebs rock it so effortlessly is a real treat. Ms. Perry also donned wavy platinum blonde locks, red ankle strap sandals and a fiery red lip to complete her sultry look. Hot!

2) Normani Kordei in House of CB

Earlier this week, Normani Kordei flaunted her toned abs for the ‘Gram in a $195 House of CB ‘Hermosa’ lace collar dress with briefs. The songstress chose simple vibes for her sexy slay as she slipped into a pair of classic strappy sandals. I mean, with a body like that, I’d sashay down the nearest hallway as well!

3) Viola Davis in Christian Siriano

Now, among all things that I love about my dark melanin skin, wearing bright colors has to be one of my favorite perks. There’s just something about a chocolate queen in bold hues that speaks to me and Viola Davis is the prime example! For Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Awards, the How to Get Away with Murder actress shimmered in a custom bright pink gown by Christian Siriano, soft curls and a berry lip. The Queen of the Silver Screen also kept her accessories to a minimum. Take notes because this is how you (elegantly) shut it down!

4) Celine Dion in Schiaparelli

It’s official: celebrity stylist Law Roach is a genius! After swooning over his impeccable work with Zendaya Coleman, he has branched off to collaborate with other A-list stars including the legendary Celine Dion. At a recent Las Vegas appearance for the unveiling of her new bag collection, the Canadian bombshell uplifted a Schiaparelli Spring 2017 Couture ivory heart-embellished short suit and textured red over-the-knee boots. Although this look is flawlessly tailored, it’s also loads of fun and light-hearted. How gorg is she?

5) Jane Fonda in Versace

An ageless Jane Fonda posed for the awaiting cameras at the 2017 Costume Guild Awards in a Versace Fall 2016 Couture gown. The actress/former model’s ‘fit also includes a dramatic single off-the-shoulder accent, satin pastel blue detailing and a chic train. When I first spotted her on my Instagram timeline, all I could think was, “Yes, Jane! You betta werk!”

6) Tracee Ellis Ross in Lethicia Bronstein

Tracee Ellis Ross also made an appearance at Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Awards last night! The multitalented leading lady captured our hearts in a sheer blush pink Lethicia Bronstein number that boasts an on-trend ruffle collar, a tiered hem and long sleeves. Abstract gold hoop earrings, metallic pumps and a structured clutch completed her eccentric look. Love it!

7) Ashley Madekwe in Johanna Ortiz

Ring My Bell blogger/actress Ashley Madeke was on hand for the Vanity Fair x L’Oreal’s  Young Hollywood party in Los Angeles in an multicolored Johanna Ortiz Resort 2017 printed ruffle jumpsuit. Ashley’s style is always clean, fresh and whimsical so this pick was the perfect choice for her night out on the town.

Whew! Tough week, no?

Happy Friday!  Today’s Fashion Bomber is Darrius from DC:

He writes, “Hello, my name is Darrius and I currently reside in Washington, DC. My style would be described, by myself, as  an evolving style. I don’t engage much in popular trends because I enjoy setting myself apart from the masses.”

“Although, every now and then I’ll adopt a small trend. Currently I am inspired by those such as Lenny Kravitz, Miguel, 2-3 guys I follow on Instagram, Saint Laurent (Hedi Slimane), and vintage looks with my own personal touch.“

“I love playing around with different textures, patterns, monochromatic colors. I have an obsession with boots. If I could wear them everyday I would. Soon as I get to the point in my career where I can buy Saint Laurent boots on a frequent basis…I will do so. (Keeping it real). Almost there! Blessings!“

 

Feelin’ your style, Darrius!

Keep up with him on Instagram, @DJackstyles.

Kourtney Kardashian posed for the ‘gram in a denim on denim ensemble partnered with $995 Gianvito Rossi Zelda Sandals:

The silver metallic nappa leather Zelda sandals are styled with caged ankle straps and trimmed with white and beige mink fur.

 

Kourtney is the best dressed of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, in my opinion.  Her swag is effortless!

I’d splurge on these bad boys.  If you feel the same, you can purchase here for $995.

What do you think?  Would you buy the Zelda Sandals by Gianvito Rossi?

Sportmax was doing athleisure long before it was a trend, but it seems the brand is really playing into that sporty, “not actually for the gym” sensibility with Fall 2017. You won’t find anyone actually working out in the pieces on display, but you will definitely find them out and about shopping, at brunch, and jetting around town in the wares.

Track pants and zip-front dresses inspired by anoraks played into that athletic-influenced vibe. But when paired with ankle boots and pointed-toe flats, that vibe switched more to having fun than breaking a sweat.

As is requisite for the season, outerwear was a big focus with cozy, fur coats and zip-front designs, as well as glossy patent leather pieces taking centerstage.

Many of the looks were absolutely practical and functional. A black coat cinched at the waist with a contrast belt could work for the office or play, while a black skirt suit on Lineisy Montero could be worn again and again in any woman’s wardrobe.

And if you’re looking for ways to wear your black leggings this Fall, Sportmax is giving you a ton of options. Whether layered under a black and white tunic or a luscious white coat, the brand’s got you covered. And you’ll be far from basic!

I’m all about simplicity these days, thus I loved the neutral looks and their minimalist approach. It truly does not get better than a black and white turtleneck and mini skirt or a black jumpsuit with a chain-link accented front for a bit of flair.

But it’s a logomania world, thus the collection’s graphics did pack a punch. A “Steady Run” skirt suit on Adwoa Aboah had major street style snap appeal, while a quilted “Run” scarf and sweater on Imaan Hammam was perfection…though not made for the actual sport, of course.

Thoughts on the latest from Sportmax?

Model Gigi Hadid posed on the red carpet of her Tommy x Gigi Spring 2017 Launch during Milian Fashion Week clad in a $890 Metallic Moto Jacket from the brand’s collection:

The rock star biker is expertly tailored in Nappa leather with a head-turning metallic finish. Glinting gold hardware adds an extra luxe touch. A limited piece from Hilfiger Collection.

Gigi wore matching metallic trousers and blue cowboy-inspired mules.

Metallic moto’s are definitely a piece to own for the upcoming spring season.  Not sure if I’d splurge on this, but I will definitely add one to my wardrobe.

You can purchase here for $890.

What do you think?  Would you buy this piece from the Tommy x Gigi Collection?

Zoe Saldana just welcomed a new bundle of joy, but still found time to step out for the Cadillac Oscar Week Celebration! For her night out, she slipped on a Jonathan Simkhai Fall 2017 Off-the-Shoulder Ruffle Lace Up Dress:

Her frock was anchored with thigh-boots on the runway.

Gorgeous!

What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

Gucci logo T-shirts are all the rage! Lots of celebs and style bloggers have been spied in the retro chic shirt.

Halsey was spied rocking it with their snake skin embroidered skinny jeans, and patent leather ankle boots.

Kim Kardashian flaunted hers with shorts and lace up booties, topped with a luscious fur coat.

Here, it’s seen on our Editor-In-Chic, worn with a pair of Gucci track pants, as she ripped the streets during NYFW.

This fashion showdown just got red hot!  Cardi B posed for the ‘gram in the same $115 From Grayscale Red Underbust Corset Skirt that Keke Palmer wore during her promo tour in NYC:

Cardi wore a Gucci cardigan and Gucci sandals with her From Grayscale skirt.

Keke Palmer wore her skirt with a sheer Namilia blouse.

I kinda like the corset skirt.  It’s edgy and on trend. You can purchase it here for $115.

As for who wore it better, I’d go with Cardi B.  Keke’s sheer top is a little too bold for me.

What do you think?  Who wore this From Grayscale skirt better?

 

Who Wore it Better? Cardi B vs Keke Palmer in From Grayscale’s Red Underbust Corset Skirt

Cardi B. 100%!

Keke, duh!

Neither! This looks tacky

I can’t decide, I love them both!
