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.
Perhaps everyday is a fashion show and the world is RiRi’s runway. The “Work” singer stepped out in a black velour two piece set that she layered with a black $25,500 vintage Versace leather trench coat that had a fur collar.
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.
We loved this black monochromatic look on Rihanna, and we can’t wait to see how she brings it this fall season!
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.
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.
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.
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 .

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.

It wouldn’t be a spectacle without celebrity guest performances by Lil Kim and Slick Rick, and let’s just say Lil Kim put her best fashion foot forward.
The ‘Jump Off’ rapper, 49, wore a crystal bedazzled out bikini top, with a dark grey metallic body suit, and a cropped denim jacket that had baby blue feather trimming.
She was iced out with her signature ‘Queen B’ necklace, and diamond “Lil Kim” earrings that complimented her 24-inch long ponytail.
Her best asset however had to be her denim Jennifer Le gold studded thigh high boots that commanded attention and looked cohesive next to her denim jacket.
Rapper Swae Lee, who has built quite a name for himself as a member of the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, and co-writer for Beyonce’s single, “Formation” also took the stage in a denim ensemble by a brand known as, Thug Life Clothing.

Self-made, and transformative with a distinct eye for fashion, John Pack debuted his first Ready-to-Wear collection entitled “BiCoastal Luxury Sport,” that’s forging the future of luxury fashion in an innovative and brilliant way.
Originally from Trenton, New Jersey, Pack, who goes by the name “BiCoastal Pack,” originated his line in 2014 designing custom pieces. He’s now stepping into a new territory, creating his latest RTW line that will soon be accessible to clients everywhere.

With a high fashion urban appeal, his “BiCoastal Luxury Sport” collection consisted of ultra saturated shades, eye-popping prints and the finest textiles.
“When it comes to my designs, I try to find materials that are versatile and can be manipulated,” explained Pack. “For my show, I used a fabric called “Mikado”that has a rich texture and is appeasing to the eye.”
From shirts, and blazers to trousers, and jumpsuits, we saw mikado fabric used in the most intricate way including menswear that had color blocking tops and cut out hems.
BiCoastal Pack’s embroidered bomber coat with the matching mask was an instant hit, and his lamb skin leather and suede shorts proved to be a fan favorite.
When it came down to being on trend this season, he chose to partake in the red monochromatic trend by featuring a red lace-up bodysuit that was layer with an asymmetrical skirt, in addition to a red two-piece trouser set.
“I am constantly looking to re-establish myself, and one of my goals is to show at the Bomb Fashion Show during New York Fashion Week,” expressed Pack.
From sporty chic, and boxy silhouettes, to crystal embellished evening wear that perfectly shimmered and glimmered down the runway, BiCoastal Pack showcased versatility within his line that demonstrated his extraordinary craftsmanship.
“In the next 5 years, I see myself on a higher level, and designing a Ready-to-Wear line that will by then be manufactured,” expressed BiCoastal Pack.” I hope to have our line consistently shown during New York Fashion week and ultimately flourishing.”
There’s no doubt that BiCoastal Pack will leave a lasting impact on the fashion industry with his latest collection that exuded luxury and jaw-dropping designs. We look forward to seeing how he will continue to leave his mark with his stunning avant-garde designs.

Coined the “Oscars of Fashion,” we saw fashion’s biggest heavy hittas push the envelope one step forward with their avant-garde ensembles that we’re vastly different, progressive and a sight to behold.
From the Fashion Icon Award recipient, Serena Williams showcasing structure with balloon shaped sleeves, to the host of the evening Anne Hathaway showing off a new interpretation of denim, and celebrity stylist Law Roach abstract suit bottoms, many celebs looked innovative while other’s clearly emulated.
Here are some of the best and worst red carpet looks from the CFDA Awards last night.

After just delivering birth to her second baby girl Adira, on August 22, Serena looked glammed to the nines in a black sequin Thom Browne dress that had voluminous off the shoulder embellished sleeves and a exaggerated train. For her accessories, Williams opted for a bold diamond necklace and pearl studded earrings.
Kim Kardashian in Chrome Hearts

If anyone has tapped into quiet luxury, it’s definitely Kim Kardashian who kept things simple in a leather halter Chrome Hearts dress that had multi cross patches placed throughout. Keeping her jewelry to a minimum, Kardashian wore layered rings to compliment her black stiletto nails. Kim’s look this year was understated compared to the latex ensemble she served last year.
Lala Anthony in Saint Sintra

Lala Anthony glistened in a bronze chocolate brown Saint Sintra satin corset body suit that she layered with a long matching satin robe and paired with dark black hosiery. She pulled her hair into a tight bun that felt appropriate with the bold gold choker necklace that completed her look.

Coco Rocha in Christian Siriano

Blige wasn’t the only one to wear Christian Siriano, as the designer himself posed next to his muse, model Coco Rocha who looked captivating in a structured and textured black top, with a pink maxi high slit skirt, and champagne satin platforms. Her black circular shaped hat was merrily the icing on the cake.

Law Roach in Luar

If anyone’s going to serve a sketch, it’s undoubtedly Celebrity stylist Law Roach who opted for a khaki colored Luar suit with a white shirt and oversized blush tie. Most notably was his cutout bottoms that revealed his Calvin Klein undies and black fishnet stockings. This was certainly one of the most fashion-forward looks of the evening.
Saweetie in Cult Gaia

We loved how rapper Saweetie took a risk and played with shapes at the CFDA awards in a straw fabric Cult Gaia dress that had innovative 3D shapes and cutouts at her her hips. Her gold metallic platform sandals made her ensemble feel very futuristic.
Anne Hathaway in Ralph Lauren

Ayesha Curry served net galore in a red and black Diotima knit stress that had cutouts everywhere and was unparalleled to anything else we saw on the red carpet. We loved her fearlessness and provocative elegance.
Winnie Harlow in Marc Jacobs

Model Winnie Harlow can do no wrong, and the gorgeous model who was a Halloween showstopper this year, cleaned up nicely to attend the CFDA Awards in a black polka-dot March Jacobs dress that looked prestigious and monumental. Her patent leather Marc Jacobs platforms were the perfect calculated risk and her jewels gleamed against her beautiful vitiligo skin.
Vanessa Hudgens in Vera Wang

Although Vanessa Hudgen’s glam looked immaculate, her dress and gloves felt traditional and we wish she would have stepped outside of the box a bit more. Nonetheless, her long black gloves were right on trend and she could have easily taken it up a notch by adding layered rings for a high fashion appeal.
