Celebrity hairstylist and wigologist Tiffany Lamb recognized the need for products that hydrate, moisturize and restore hair follicles.  She teamed with a chemist to create Lucid Bliss, an extensive hair collection that includes moisturizing shampoo, hydrating conditioner, hair refreshener and vitamin E hair drops. 

Created during a time when she lost all inspiration as a hairstylist, Tiffany decided to redirect her passion from hair styling to hair care.  Her products are made with all-natural oils and ingredients that’ll waken your hair follicles and nourish your scalp.

Tiffany tested her products before the launch to repair her own hair.  She documented the results on her Instagram page, @Touched_by_Tiff.  On the brands’ Instagram page, @MyLucidBliss, you can see photos of customers who have used her products and saw amazing results.

The launch was hosted by Naturi Naughton.  The pint-sized actress wore a simple, chic matching crop-top and midi skirt set with black booties.

The events’ attendees came dressed to impress!  Let’s get into some street style:

Tori Elizabeth,  1/2 of the rapidly growing Colored Girl movement, rocked thigh-high caged boots paired with thigh-high socks, black shorts and a maroon shaggy coat.  Cute!

Shawn donned a beat face, wine red loccs and an olive green cape.  Love it!

Obsessed with Malyia’s all-black ensemble that featured a pop of color!  And I’m having some serious hair envy…

Speaking of hair envy, Courtney kept it simple and cute with an ivory knit dress, satin floral booties and big, luscious curls!

Avielle looked stylish in a pair of maroon high-waist pants, black over-the-knee boots and a black fur stole.  Love that hat!

Fun event!  I can’t wait to sample the Lucid Bliss collection.  If you’re interested in upgrading your hair regimen, check out MyLucidBliss.com!

 

XOXO – Marsha B.

The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences’ 8th Annual Governors Awards was a star-studded affair! The who’s who of Tinseltown showed up and showed out in sheer frocks, exquisite embroidery, high-fashion designs, statement-making accents, and more.

Let’s see what they wore, shall we?

Lupita Nyong’o beamed in a sheer, fit-and-flare embroidered Elie Saab Couture look. Werk Lupita!

A black snake-embroidered Gucci gown was Ruth Negga’s choice for the evening. Her style is impeccable.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw shimmered in a silver embellished Narciso Rodriguez dress. Simply radiant!

Naomie Harris was clad in classic stripes, choosing a strapless, navy and white Carolina Herrera gown. In a word: beautiful.

Janelle Monae always finds a way to put a gorgeous spin on the classic black and white combo! Her printed gown was perfection. And yes to her Naeem Khan clutch!

Aja Naomi King surely turned a few heads in a sheer, embroidered Marc Jacobs gown.

Ava Duvernay injected a pop of color to her black, short-sleeve embellished gown with magenta lips. She’s always the picture of elegance.

Mahershala Ali repped for the fellas in a timeless, three-piece suit. He’s so handsome!

David Oyelowo always takes risks on the red carpet—with his white, embroidered Dolce & Gabbana suit being one of his boldest looks yet. I think he pulled it off!

Lily Collins beamed in a copper-hued, silk Amanda Wakeley number. Eternal brow goals.

Mommy-to-be Marion Cotillard swaddled her burgeoning baby bump in a lace LBD from Christian Dior.

Kate Beckinsale was white hot and on-trend in an off-the-shoulder Pamella Roland stunner. She’s always flawless! I loved the pearl accents.

A woman can never go wrong with a Monique Lhuillier gown, right? Leslie Mann slipped on a strapless, floral printed design from the designer.

We all know that Michelle Williams is a Louis Vuitton girl, thus she wore a long-sleeve, sheer embellished gown from the iconic French fashion house. Hot!

Erdem makes some of the most gorgeous dresses in the world. Emma Stone’s fluted hem, jacquard piece from the brand was no exception.

Pleats please! Nicole Kidman was daring in a long-sleeve gown with sheer panels from Christopher Kane.

Octavia Spencer was pretty in pink, donning a Tadashi Shoji gown. She’s never looked better.

Pharrell and wife Helen Lasichanch made the case for red carpet flats. They’re the cutest!

Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin are always one of the best looking couples in any building. Their matching, all-black ‘fits were simple, yet chic.

Rebecca Hall’s black, pink, and white Prada bow-accented gown was pretty exceptional.

Michelle Yeoh gave a flash of leg in a yellow draped gown with a plunging, illusion neckline and a thigh-high slit.

Amy Adams served up Grecian goddess in a white and gold Carolina Herrera number.

Hailee Steinfeld dazzled in a white lace Elie Saab gown.

Who had your favorite look at the awards show?

Winnie Harlow stepped out for the Marie Claire Leaders Awards in Mexico City while rocking Chanel‘s Fall 2016 Tiered White Ruffle Dress, black stockings and pointed patent leather pumps. But, fashion extraordinaire Marjorie Harvey also wore the same feminine piece during Paris Fashion Week with loads of pearls, fishnet stocking and leopard cap-toe Christian Louboutin heels.

The chic number was modeled on the runway with similar pairings including black stockings, an oversized bow and a standout bowler hat.

While I love all things Chanel, I’m not exactly sold on these looks. The dress comes off a bit matronly but, hey, different strokes for different folks, right?

Marjorie, hands down!

Both ladies look great!

Hmmm, neither. This is horrible.

So I’m in Lagos for GT Bank Fashion Weekend!
Yesterday, I popped by the Bridge, a fun lounge, bar, and restaurant located in Lekki 1 (8 Wole Olateju street off Admiralty).

After being blown away by the delicious food, drinks, and decor, I spoke to the owner, Tola Odunsi, who suggested I invite Fashion Bomb readers over for drinks. To which I said: Absolutely!

Join me tonight for cocktails and copious coups of champagne.

Now, what do I wear…?

Model Charlotte Mckinney showed some serious leg action in the streets of LA wearing a $493 Unravel Project Logo Distressed Sweatshirt:

The black cotton sweatshirt features distressed detailing throughout the shirt and the Unravel logo in the front.

Feelin’ her street style!

You can purchase Charlotte’s look here for $493.

What do you think?  Would you rock this sweatshirt?

Ever since Tuesday, I’ve been in a social stupor. I’ve carried out my daily activities with a heavy heart and I’ve questioned the foundation for which the United States of America was built upon. I’ve also watched as this country violently erupt into what is now a threat to the lives of millions.

But, one thing is clear. Fashion is my fortitude. Writing is my sword. And, peace is etched within my soul. I’m beyond blessed to be able to use my talent for a greater good rather than merely dismissing my God-given abilities. So, today’s article is a bit therapeutic. This is my release from all the turmoil that has engulfed our precious nation. I also pray that I can relieve your mind from some of the everyday stresses that plague or hearts and minds. Thank you for reading! 

Now, on a lighter note, let’s hop straight into the week’s most memorable celebrity looks!

1) Zendaya Coleman in Michael Kors

The Annual CFDA& VOGUE Fashion Fund Awards were a welcome highlight to this tumultuous election week! The fashion industry’s best and brightest stars were in attendance including Godiva goddess Kelly Rowland and the chic Solange Knowles. Yet, it was Zendaya Coleman that turned heads in a Michael Kors navy crepe dress with white floral sequin embroidery. The ultra-sleek number also boasts an off-the-shoulder feature, dual side cutouts and a relaxed fit. Cute, no?

2) Winnie Harlow in Roberto Cavalli

Winnie Harlow has quickly become one of my favorite style mavens of 2016! After her striking cameo in Beyonce’s award-winning masterpiece Lemonade, the charismatic supermodel has continued to make some huge strides. For her appearance at the 2016 Europe MTV Movie Awards, Winnie slayed all of our lives in a seductive black lace gown from Roberto Cavalli’s Spring 2016 presentation. The feminine piece combines a boho-lux aesthetic that radiates an effortless sophistication. Without a doubt, this woman is living proof that #BlackGirlMagic comes in all forms, despite the strict (and unrealistic) standards of beauty society set forth. I’m here for every moment! 

3) Erykah Badu in Ralph and Russo

Queen Erykah Badu brought her signature eclectic style to the 2016 Soul Train Awards red carpet as she donned a voluminous marigold Ralph and Russo gown, flawless makeup and tons of accessories. I don’t care what anyone says – this woman embodies the true understanding of pinpointing one’s personal style. You’ll never see this songstress rocking what critics may label “on trend” or “in” but, in contrast, you can spot her in a plethora of other stylish duds. I live for her sartorial fearlessness and the fact that she can make an oversized maroon wide-brim hat look like absolute perfection. And, shout-out to Jason Rembert for styling this iconic ensemble! 

4) Teyana Taylor in The Blonds

Songstress and dance extraordinaire Teyana Taylor was also in attendance for the 2016 Soul Train Awards in Las Vegas last weekend! The fashion fave was certain that all eyes were glued to her as she sashayed down the awaiting red carpet in a lavish sheer textured dress by The Blonds and black Givenchy ankle strap sandals. While raking in over 9,000 like on Instagram, there was no disputing her spot in our Look of the Week feature. Body: on point, face: beat to the gods, hair game: unmatched. She looks amazing!

5) Bonang Matheba in Weiz Dhurm Franklyn

Not many fashionistas possess the genuine ability to make everything they wear look like a million bucks. No, for some, the pursuit of the slay is similar to fighting a constant losing battle but Bonang Matheba’s got it down to a science. The South African girl boss served up fiery perfection in a curve-hugging masterpiece by my friend Weiz Dhurm Franklyn. She accented her bold frock with a classic low bun, matching crimson lips and icy diamond accessories. Let’s be real, it can’t get any better than this, right?

6) Jourdan Dunn in Balmain

And, rounding out of fashionable nominees, we have the lovely Jourdan Dunn. The statuesque supermodel was on hand for the 2016 Europe MTV Movie Awards in a custom sheer detail long sleeve gown by Balmain. After examining this piece, I realized that Jourdan was the perfect muse for this tantalizing ensemble. With such clean lines and an impeccable fit, I’d think it’s safe to say that she was the gorgeous inspiration behind its remarkable beauty. Love it! 

What are your thoughts on the contenders?

Another LBD was served up for the evening on Emmanuelle Chriqui. Beautiful.

Bella Hadid dressed down her $149 House of CB Essie Stretch Satin Thigh Split Dress while grabbing a bite to eat at M Cafe—making the sultry frock a bit more casual with a denim jacket and $155 Sol Sana Mickey Nude Patent Leather Slip On Sneakers:

Her satin dress features a low scoop neckline, thigh-high slit, and adjustable cross back straps.
