Model Stella Maxwell arrived to the Victoria’s Secret fitting in NYC wearing the same Alessandra Rich Purple Velvet Babydoll Dress as Rita Ora wore earlier this summer:
Stella Maxwell accessorized her look with black booties and a black leather sterling jacket.
Rita kept it simple in a pair of silver pumps.
If I had to choose, I’d say Stella rocked it better. Something about the mixture of leather and lace makes her stand out.
What do you think? Who wore it better?
If you didn’t know, especially given the rise in all things self and body positive, we celebrate beauty in all its forms. So, who better a person to highlight than someone who is comfortable and confident in her skin, has a deep adoration for Queen Bey like the rest of us do, and, above all, remains gracious and kind in the faces of naysayers than award winning, Emmy nominated actress and television producer, Laverne Cox?
Getting her start as a contestant on VH1’s I Want to Work for Diddy, among other minor roles, Cox took Tinsletown by storm portraying her most memorable character, Sophia Burset, on Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black. Since then, she’s landed a role in the revamp of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and a recurring role in CBS’s upcoming drama, Doubt. With the astronomical rise to success, she doesn’t shy away from doting flashbulbs during red carpet appearances.
Her honey blonde tresses frame her face perfectly, whether cascading past her shoulders in loose, old Hollywood curls or worn edgy, short and curly. She’s definitely not afraid to experiment with her look, even trying bangs for good measure.
With a personality as bold and vivacious as hers, Cox seems partial to sporting either a rich red or a bold berry hue for added drama. And sometimes, for soft and subtle looks, she opts for nudes and light pinks to offset her stunning red carpet gowns and accessories.
But as we all know, real beauty doesn’t solely rest on what is seen by the naked eye. Laverne Cox has not only catapulted herself into stardom from her work in television, but she’s also been honored for pioneering initiatives for and working with members of the LGBT community in order for all their voices to be heard. Since landing the cover of Time in June 2014, where she shared very poignant and revealing anecdotes from her childhood and transition during the interview, she has served as a beacon of hope and courage for many transwomen of color who find her story relatable and humbling, despite her continued success. For this, and many other reasons, we salute you, Laverne Cox, as this week’s Beauty Crush Wednesday! For more fabulous pics of Laverne Cox, scroll through the gallery above.
What say you to this week’s pick?
Coronation Street actress Tisha Merry had a night out with the girls in a Topshop $35 Black Crushed Velvet Twist Front Crop Top and $75 Green Zip Front Cropped Wide Leg Trousers:
Her velvet crop top boasts a twist-front and sleeveless silhouette.
Her sold-out trousers feature a high-waist, zip front, cropped length, and wide legs.
Loving the top, but I would’ve preferred a pair of simple, wide-leg trousers in the same shade—sans the zip-front.
Tisha’s trousers are sold-out, but you can get her top here.
Would you wear it?
Tommy Hilfiger poster girl Gigi Hadid, was spotted in New York City wearing a Silver Down Puffer Jacket by the brand:
The padded down jacket is crafted from durable nylon with a gleaming metallic finish.
Gigi killed the casual look by pairing her puffer jacket with blue skinny jeans, grey boots and a white sweater.
Love it!
What do you think? Are you feelin’ her casual style?
Model Jessica Craig took to the BMI Country Awards 2016 in the same $1,568 David Koma Cutout Stretch Wool Dress Jennifer Lopez originally sported back in May:
Mrs. Craig wore the black iteration with strappy sandals, while J.Lo opted for the white iteration with classic white pumps.
The stretch-wool dress features a high neck, long sleeves, flared zipped cuffs, a fit-and-flare silhouette, metal hardware, cutout detailing at the front bodice, and darts at the chest.
J.Lo won this round for me.
What do you think? Who wore it better?
Lady Gaga stylishly arrived in Tokyo wearing a black Stephane Rolland Spring 2016 Jumpsuit:
The black wide leg jumpsuit features long, layered sleeves with a plunging back and diamond jeweled Y-shaped detailing, also in the back.
The singer wore a pink Gucci fedora hat and oversized sunglasses.
This is a tamed look for Gaga’s usually extravagant style.
The jumpsuit is a bit much for my taste but styled correctly, it can be really chic. I’m not a fan of Gaga’s rendition of the ensemble.
What do you think? Hot? or Hmm…
