When Beyoncé released “Daddy Lessons” on Lemonade, we thought the Houston-born superstar was poised to take over the country music industry as she’s done every other category. Well, it seems we were right, as Mrs. Knowles Carter is set to perform at tonight’s 50th CMA Awards:
What King Bey will be performing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s a big night for the awards show, so all the stops will certainly be pulled out. Perhaps she’ll take to the stage with the iconic trio, the Dixie Chicks, who sang their own rendition of “Daddy Lessons” while on tour?
That would be epic! We’ll definitely have our eyes and ears peeled any way. Tune in to ABC at 8pm EST for the big event.
Gisele Bundchen looked every bit the supermodel at the Pantene Institute Launch in Mexico City, flaunting her toned physique in the same Mugler Resort 2017 Black and White Cutout Stud Dress Diane Kruger originally sported back in August:
Gisele anchored the statement-making ensemble with a pair of simple, black ankle-strap sandals, while Diane opted for $595 Alexandre Birman White Clarita Sandals:
The cutout dress features silver stud embellishment, cutout detailing, and a two-tone palette.
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.
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.
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.
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.
