Chic in navy!  This beauty wore a full-length navy skirt, navy blazer and multicolored fur stole.

Last but not least, this stylish young lady showed us that girls can be dapper too!  She wore an olive green 3-piece suit with a beige overcoat and oxford shoes.

On the Scene: Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Solange’s Grammys After Party with Beyonce in Peter Dundas, Kelly in Youself Akbar and Solange in Brognano

Solange Knowles Ferguson sure knows how to party!  The Grammy award winner hosted a Wine and Grind Grammy Edition celebration after Sunday’s award show.  In attendance were Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, Michelle Williams, Tracee Ellis Ross, Melina Matsoukas, Janelle Monae and many more!  As expected, this was a fashionable moment for the books.

Let’s take a look:

Beyonce was a vision in a custom Peter Dundas gown which featured a deep v-neck, gold trim at the waist, a high slit up the leg and cape detailing that falls into a mini-train.

Kelly looked sultry in a red bandeau top, red silk skirt and a matching tuxedo blazer designed by Yousef Akbar.  She wore pumps by Alexander White on her feet.

Solange can do no wrong! The songstress opted for a Brognano Spring 2017 gown with ruffle detailing on the skirt and at the shoulders.

A Destiny’s Child reunion!  Beyonce and Kelly posed with Michelle Williams, who wore black leather pants and a black high-low blouse.

Jay Z danced with his wife and sister-in-law clad in a navy blue tuxedo.

Solange posed with her BFF Melina Matsoukas, who wore a sheer, long sleeve dress with fur cuffs around her wrists and embroidered detailing throughout the dress.

 

Such an intimate, stylish evening!

Beauty Bomb: Brandon Maxwell’s Fall 2017 Voluminous and Glamorous Hair, Styled by James Pecis

Brandon Maxwell is officially one of our Fashion Week favorites! Not only do we love the work he does with Lady Gaga as her stylist—hello Super Bowl—but he always has one of the most diverse catwalks of the entire season.

“The hair is over the top glamour,” stated stylist James Pecis of the tresses that accompanied the fabulous runway ensembles. “The key to this is to not try to make someone something they’re not. Everyone’s hair should be their own.” And though the below steps outline how to get one particular ‘do from the show, some of our favorite models sported their natural curls and coils on the catwalk.

1. Saturate your hair with a thickening spray from roots to ends before blowing it out. Direct your tresses away from your face when you blow dry.

2. Complete a second application of the spray on the hair around your face.

3. Add extensions to your hair and make sure you apply them horizontally from the back.

4. Set your hair with a one-inch curling iron and alternate the waves.

5. Pull your hair back—away from your face, but close to your head.

6. Add some volume spray throughout the back of your hair. “We added a ton of top1one Oribe’s Swept Up Volume Powder Spray throughout the back,” confirmed Pecis.

7. Finish with hairspray at the top and sides.

What do you think of the hair at Brandon Maxwell?

Beauty Bomb: Prabal Gurung’s Fall 2017 Modern Take on the Classic Ponytail, Styled by Anthony Turner

Prabal Gurung is all about empowering women through clothes: strength and confidence are two feelings he hopes to evoke with his designs. His Fall 2017 was in line with that courageous and fierce sensibility, even displaying his support of women, the LGBTQ community, and immigrants in the U.S. as he is a native of Nepal himself.

And the hair was as powerful as the looks that glided down the runway: a modern take on the classic ponytail. Hair was tousled and textured in the back, while the front was clean in contrast. A perfect blend of femininity and masculinity. Here, the steps to recreate the look by stylist Anthony Turner:

A post shared by Hot Tools (@hottoolspro) on

1. Prep your hair with a lift spray, like this product from WELLA. Layer the spray densely all over your tresses and then use a dryer. The Hot Tools Tourmaline Turbo Ionic Dryer is on our radar this season!

2. Once everything is dry, use a paddle brush to smooth your hair out. Then, create a very deep side part on the left.

3. Next, rub some texturing paste into your crown for the ultimate in sleekness.

4. Then, you’ll want to push the front, right section of your hair towards your face. That will create a small bump in the front. You’ll then want to break up your hair with your fingers for that “lived-in” texture.

5. Pull your hair back into a tight ponytail in the dead center of the back of your head.

6. Then, wrap strands around a curling iron in different directions. You can then rub the same spray you used before into the ponytail to break it up.

7. Last, spray some hairspray all over to finish that sleek look. Let it sit for a few minutes, then blow dry it to make sure it holds.

Thoughts on the beauty look for the show?

Who Wore it Better? Remy Ma vs Fantasia in Intertwine Collection’s Pink Ruffle Dress

We love a fashion show down! Remy Ma attended the Roc Nation event last weekend clad in a $90 ‘Sex in the City’ Intertwine Collection dress.  Fantasia was spied in a similar version, also by the brand:

 

Remy styled her dress with a pair of silver Gianvito Rossi sandals and soft waves in her hair.

Fantasia went for nude sandals and her signature short hair cut.

Now before you scream, “It’s a different dress!” we recognize that.  But there’s no denying that they’re very similar and extremely cute!

I LOVE both looks.  I appreciate the simple styling and the soft color against their skin tones.

You can purchase the ‘Sex in the City’ dress here for $90.

What do you think?  Who rocked this look better?
