It was a family affair for Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2017 season, as mothers, daughters, sons, and babes took to the catwalk at today’s show in Milan. While European royal families and rock music legends were on the roster, the most identifiable faces (for us anyway) were Marjorie Harvey, Jason Harvey, and Amanda Harvey.
The Steve Harvey household took to the runway in fabulous furs, printed coats, and bejeweled sandals, with gorgeous babies looking seriously cherubic in their arms.
Aside from the Harvey’s, it seems Dolce & Gabbana tapped various men and women representing a diversity of sizes, shapes, heights, and ethnicities.
I’m all the way here for it! It’s refreshing to see ‘real people’ rock the runway. And the Harvey’s looked fabulous!
What do you think?
Before the Oscars went down, the 2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards was many stars’ first stop! Floral prints, mini lengths, eye-catching details, and more were all on display.
Here are the day’s looks in 3…2…1…
Taraji P. Henson was a breath of fresh Spring air in a floral print Giambattista Valli Couture mini dress with a dramatic train. This was fab.
Kerry Washington’s simple Prada LBD was uplifted with crystal embellishment.
Ava Duvernay certainly turned a few heads in a floral print Gucci getup. I wouldn’t be mad if I woke up and found this in my closet.
Naomie Harris flaunted her toned gams in a colorful Chanel dress with a black lace hem. I cannot wait to see what she wears at the Oscars!
Janelle Monae slipped a black and white striped Ferragamo coat over a printed button-front shirt and graphic skirt in the same classic combo, uplifted by L Frank jewels.
Danielle Brooks showcased her curves in an effortless black Urban Zen set. She’s never looked better!
Ruth Negga was a literal gift, choosing a bow-accented Delpozo dress for the occasion. I love her daring style.
Kiersey Clemons couldn’t be missed in a black and white, tiered Prabal Gurung gown. The brand makes the most gorgeous gowns, no?
A navy cutout Fame and Partners gown was on the menu for Issa Rae. She’s been flawless this awards season.
Sasha Lane showed that Black Lives Matter in a Mizizi baseball jersey boasting the truthful phrase and a Louis Vuitton olive skirt suit.
Freida Pinto skewed unexpectedly sultry in a yellow lace Un El Camino illusion gown. Hot!
The timeless LBD was also on the agenda for Trace Lysette who went on-trend and sheer in a lace design from Elisabetta Franchi.
What do you think of the looks at the awards show?
The Charles Finch and Chanel Pre-Oscars Awards Dinner was star-studded, but you guessed that right? The iconic French fashion house’s looks were all on display for the night on our favorite celebrities.
Let’s get into their looks!
Janelle Monae gave her signature black and white looks a rest, slipping on a metallic tuxedo dress and Christian Louboutin Louloudance Sandals for the evening. I live for her style!
Ruth Negga deserves the award for best red carpet attitude and confidence this season! She literally transforms runway looks by simply putting them on. Case in point: this Chanel Pre-Fall 2017 look.
I loved the way Pharrell paired the house’s edgy Pre-Fall 2017 coat with a Human Made t-shirt, denim, and suede Timberland boots. He always looks so cool!
Deepika Padukone was one of the only guests to not wear a Chanel ensemble, but she did go bold in a lovely Duro Olowu printed dress. Stunning, no?
Priyanka Chopra paired a Resort 2017 tweed mini skirt from the brand with a black collarless tweed blazer and white cropped sweater.
Hailee Steinfeld channeled a bit of Janelle Monae in a rocker chic black and white ‘fit. I would definitely wear this getup!
Last, but certainly not least was Rachel Zoe. She went glam in a champagne-hued gown and cozy fur for the night. She never disappoints.
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!
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!
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!
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?
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!”
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!
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.

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!“

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.
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.
