Designer Sergio Hudson has been a fan favorite amongst many celebrities this year, and the latest celebs to strut the scene in his designs is no other than Fantasia Barrino and Sha’carri Richardson who both were spied in his neon yellow $1,177 Cropped Frame Jacket.

The statement jacket which is 100% wool, features a fitted silhouette accented with contrasting buttons down the front and sleeves.

Richardson, who has been dubbed the fastest women in the world, was given her flowers, on Nov. 10th when Dallas Mayor, Eric Johnson declared the day as the “Sha’Carri Richardson Day.”

At the podium dressed in the Sergio Hudson matching neon set with black strappy sandals, she expressed, “Life is full circle and this moment is exactly that,” said Richardson. “Being able to stand here in my hometown where I started my career is indescribable.”

In addition to the Dallas native having Nov. 10th declared as her day, she also had the track field at John Kincaide Stadium next to David W. Carter High School where she attended, named after her.

The younger Dallas youth who aspire to be like Richardson, gathered around her to celebrate all of her triumphs which they too hope to accomplish one day.

Richardson wasn’t the only one slaying in the Sergio Hudson Cropped Frame Jacket, as singer Fantasia Barrino, 39, stunned while in London promoting the “Color Purple” film.

Barrino, who will be playing the leading role of ‘Celie,‘ in the iconic film that is expected to release on December 25th, 2023, was spotted leaving a jazzy UK hotel in a black bodycon midi dress that she layered with her Sergio Hudson neon cropped jacket.

When it came down to her accessories, she opted for a matching neon belt, modern black frames, and yellow pointy Le Silla pumps, styled by Daniel Hawkins that really tied her ensemble together.

Between Fantasia Barrino and Sha’carri Richardson, who do you think wore the Sergio Hudson Cropped Frame Jacket better?

You know black people put the ‘SOUL’ in soulful, and the BET Soul Train Awards was nothing shy of inspiration and vitality, with some of the most brightest stars coming together in Los Angeles to celebrate Hip-Hop’s and R&B’s finest.

The hostess with the mostest, Keke Palmer reigned supreme in a black Versace dress that was tailored into a mini dress, and paired with black stiletto pumps.

She looked as if a weight has been lifted off her shoulders, and we all know the elephant in the room was her recent break-up with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson who she accused of domestic violence.

Not only did we notice a changed in her aura which had a radient glow, but we couldn’t keep our eyes of her beautiful blonde tresses that complimented her features.

Palmer’s wasn’t the only one to opt for black at the Soul Train Awards as Actress and model, Serayah brought the drama, heat and sex appeal on the red carpet.

The “Kingdom Business” actress, 28, wore a black lace and velvet Christian Cowan dress that had a deep v-plunge line , and an elongated train. Her dress felt romantic and accentuated her hour-glass figure.

Singer Janelle Monae, 37, continues to push the envelope and you know her Soul Train awards outfit was no exception.Monae received the “Spirit of Soul” award in an ultra colorful long Christopher John Rogers dress that had the most exquisite sequins patchwork.

Her dress felt extremely modern, along with her black embellished choker necklace, and we couldn’t get over how sharp her bob haircut was.

Representing for the stylish men on the red carpet, R&B singer, Eric Bellinger posed in a fall green $1,120 Saint Mxxxxxx eyelash sweater that had the word “Saint”written in bold black lettering.

His black nylon cargo pants, pointy-toe loafers, and diamond pyramid necklace made him a trendsetter on the carpet.

Speaking of trends, if you haven’t noticed this season is all about chocolate brown, and Coco Jones shut it down in a Hershey brown Jean Louis Sabaji leather maxi dress that hung off her shoulder and had gold zipper detailing.

Her brown rhinestone bandeau top added an extra touch of glam, and her updo hairstyle was an instant hit with this ensemble.

From iconic silhouettes, and vibrant hues to sequins and leather, we saw celebrities show up to the BET Soul Train Awards in some of the most fashion-forward styles that were a sight to behold.

Momma know’s how to serve a beat, and Rihanna looked gorgeous during a recent outing to her favorite restaurant Giorgio Baldi’s in Santa Monica with beau A$AP Rocky.

The Barbadian Princess, turned billionaire has been wearing a lot of black as of late, and we all know that black never fails when it comes to making you look slim and chic.

When it came down to her glam, Rihanna opted for a smokey eye that brought out her hazel green eyes, and an auburn lip to go with her amber rose cheeks.

She kept her accessories luxurious with her $2,375 black @rogervivier velvet embellished cube bag and $1,405 Amina Muaddi Giorgia sandals that were a total showstopper and had a white crystal buckle that wrapped around her ankle.

Fashion Bomb Spotlight: R&B Singer Cassie Stunned in an $1,950 Olive Green Zimmermann Dress

Posted by Rashidah Young

If anyone has made major headlines this past week, it’s without a doubt R&B singer Cassie, 37, who filed a lawsuit on Nov. 16th against rapper, P. Diddy for alleging physical and sexual abuse over the course of their decade long relationship.

The news came as a surprise and shock to many, because who would have thought that so much turmoil and mayhem existed between the two. Often times in images on the red carpet, or on their adventurous escapades, they usually appeared to be all smiles, but the truth is no one really knows what happens behind close doors.

Their relationship fizzled out in 2018, with the “Me & U” singer choosing to end things. Despite the demise of their relationship, the two still seemed supportive of one another with Cassie coming to his side after the death of Kim Porter, and Diddy thanking Cassie during his BET Awards Lifetime Achievement Award  speech.

None the less, as people heal from traumas that they’ve personally endured, they become more willing to live and unveil their truth. The Ford model, who is now married to Alex Fine and has two daughters by the Personal Trainer looks at peace, and the happiest we’ve ever seen her.

Talk about being love properly and how that can transcend through photos. In a series of images posted to her Instagram page, with the caption “Cassandra Fine.” one thing appears to be evident- she hasn’t lost her touch, nor an ounce of her beauty.

Posing in an Olive green Zimmerman “Sensory Drape Midi” dress, Cassie looked luminous and elegant in her silk linen strapless dress that hung beautifully off her shoulders.

Characterized with impeccable draping, ruffles, and an asymmetrical high slit, the dress retails for $1,950, and has boning throughout. Her jewels included gold chunky earrings, and most notable her diamond wedding ring, which was on full display and proudly shown.

Many of her fans came to her support and aide, with one user stating “I believe you. Thank you for speaking up — I know it wasn’t easy to do 🤍,” and another commenting, “So proud of you for speaking your truth. I believe you ❤️ and I’m sorry you endured that.”

One day after the lawsuit was filed by Cassie, both artists announced that the lawsuit had been settled. In a public statement, Cassie wrote “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control.  I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.”

Although we will never know the full truth, it was bold and courageous for Cassie to come forward and pour her heart out to the world which we know isn’t easy for anyone.

The images of her in this Zimmerman dress were powerful and ambitious, and exuded strength and confidence, letting us know she’s coming into a new age.

GQ Men of The Year Fashion Bomb Looks: Kim Kardashian in Camel Chrome Hearts, Dwayne Wade in a Blush Givenchy, Megan Thee Stallion in Chocolate Salih Balta + More

We love a red carpet moment and GQ’s Men of the Year bash was filled with some of the hottest celebrities strutting down the pavement in Los Angeles in honor of the magazines 28th MOTY issue.

Coined the Male Met Gala, we saw some of the most handsome, stylish and dapper men on the scene in swankiest head-turning looks that were artfully curated.

As we all know, retired NBA Star Dwayne Wade, 41, never misses and the Chi town native kept things light and airy in a blush pink textured vest that he paired with white straight denim jeans and black loafers. His blonde roots added contrast to his black beard and we couldn’t keep our eyes of his muscular built.

Keeping things suited and booted was multi-platinum artist Travis Scott who wore a black satin Maison Margiela double breasted suit that he paired with a white crew neck shirt, along with a statement silver necklace.

Also opting for black was R&B singer Giveon who let us know in many ways that it was “Prada or Nada,” while rocking a Prada leather bomber jacket that he styled with black trousers and black patent leather oxfords.

The men of the hour weren’t the only ones to make quite an entrance on the carpet as Kim Kardashian looked effortlessly chic in a suede camel Chrome Hearts halter top with the matching skirt.

Her long blonde hair parted down the middle felt cohesive and tonal, and if you haven’t noticed “Chrome Hearts” has been her go to designer as of late( hence her latest CFDA black Chrome Hearts ensemble).

Also making a splash in hints of brown was rapper Megan Thee Stallion who looked absolutely phenomenal in a sheer chocolate brown Salih Balta SS24 RTW dress, styled by Zerina Akers.

The Houston native has clearly been working on her “body yadi yadi” as she’s noticeably lost a lot of weight and it looking toned from top to bottom. We love to see her in this light and her updo was so complimentary to her sultry BEAT.

Stepping outside of the box from traditional colors like black and brown, was artist Lorde who brought vibrancy to the red carpet in a satin green Acne two piece set that showed off her mid-section.

Her asymmetrical skirt had modern frills, and perhaps her green tights and open toe-heels served “green with envy” which we were so here for.

Overall we saw celebrities bring their A-game at GQ’s Men of the Year 2023 bash and it was great to see the big dreamers, and boundary breakers in the spotlight .

TNS: STORIES Exhibition Celebrated Diversity Through Fashion, Photography, and Film + More

With the right team behind you, miraculous things can happen in such an extraordinary way, and that’s exactly what transpired through the book of ‘The New Stereotype (TNS): STORIES,’ that launched on Sunday, Nov. 12th in New York City.

The creative masterminds behind the book, Marquelle Turner, Wendy Oduor, and Olushola Bashorun partnered together over the pandemic to artfully curate and highlight more than 50 black men and women across 26 fashion editorials that were shot in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

A project 3-years in the making finally came to fruition, embracing the multidimensional layers of what it means to proudly be black through fashion, photography and film.

Their bold initiatives are the result of a high-end coffee table book that offers a visual treat to readers through beautiful and intentional illustrations.

“Each installment of the book, labeled a CHAPTER, as an ode to the synopsis of each person’s story, serves as an interconnected thread to demonstrate Black men and women’s ability to be both a powerful ballad individually and an unspoken symphony while in unison,” said Hunter.

To commence their book debut, the founders presented a panel discussion hosted by Danielle Young with some of their subjects like Celebrity Stylist, Harrison Crite and Author, Rob Hill who images were featured during the unveiling of the gallery exhibition.

As a well-diverse crowd of creatives made their way into the art exhibition that was initially prized behind a white curtain, everyone was immediately enamored by all the delightful imagery that stood out boldly against the concrete brick wall.

Attendees rushed in line to purchase their TNS: STORIES copy before they sold out from the Project Director, Marquelle Turner who embodied a king aura in a custom light brown two-piece set, with a black Kufi hat and black Balenciaga flats.

The Director of Photography, Olushola Bashorun arrived to the event with his wife in a Prada look including a black pinstripe suit, and tank top with white chunky sneakers, while his better half opted for a silk maxi dress with gold sequin heels.

Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers showed up to support her accomplished photographer friend Olushola and was amazed by his creativity, technical skills and attention to detail that he was captured through each image displayed.

Creative Director of TNS:STORIES, Wendy Oduor painted the town red in the chicest STAUD maxi dress that looked so elegant and regal against her rich melanated complexion.

Her statement multicolored beaded earrings glistened next to her bold red lip, and to top off her red monochromatic ensemble, she paired her outfit with a red stiletto. Talk about giving off queen vibes.

Oduor was able to interview Sulmers who wore a leather or leather look including a Fashion Bomb Daily shop Prince purple rain graphic tee that she paired with flare leather pants, and a black trench coat.

In addition to many others, Claire was happy to attend such a marvelous event that honored Oduor’s, Bashorun’s and Turner’s artistic brilliance.

Ahead, see more stylish attendees at the TNS: STORIES book premiere below:
