Barbiecore may have been the moment of the summer, but it’s still making itself known this fall. During the Barbie film press tour, Margot Robbie channeled the iconic doll with an array of looks inspired by Queen B(arbie) herself. One of Robbie’s most talked about looks was a striped Hervé Léger mini dress inspired by the first ever Barbie released in 1959. The OG look, a black and white chevron stripe swimsuit, is how the Australian actress opened the film.
Back in June, during the Australia leg of the press junket, Robbie rocked a black and white horizontal striped mini dress by Hervé Léger. Like her Barbie character, she accessorized with black high-heeled open-toe mules and white cat-eye sunglasses.

You ask, we answer! @eatsimmaculate says, “Can you guys find out where Kenya Moore’s dress from Usher residency in Vegas last night was from?”
From celebs like Kim Kardashian and Keke Palmer, to Saweetie and now Real Housewives star, Kenya Moore, Usher has been on a mission during his Las Vegas Residency where he has serenaded some of the hottest women to be seated in his VIP section.
However, while serenading Kenya Moore on Nov. 4th following her BravoCon2023 appearance, Usher left fans glued to their screen while they watched the undeniable chemistry felt between the two that was off the charts.
As the “U Don’t Have to Call” singer, 45, approached Moore in the audience, she was overly zealous, and smitten by the R&B singer who didn’t waist no time.
“oh girl, you got those hips out. They gonna be talking ’bout you tomorrow saying, ‘She put that thang on,’ baby…yes you did, yes you did.”
The $790 Dundas midi dress that Kenya Moore sported, hugged her curves to a tee and had circular cut-outs down the sides and back with lace-up detailing. She opted for clear embellished stilettos, and kept her jewelry to a minimum with a gold necklace.
Her glam couldn’t have been more perfect with her big voluminous curls that framed her rose colored cheeks and nude glossed lips.
Usher and Moore, danced and wined intimately together with Kenya on cloud-9 while being embraced by the ‘Hey Daddy’ singer who wrapped his arms around her in the most sensual way.
That white Dundas World dress did exactly what it was suppose to do and we were happy to see Usher snatch Kenya’s soul (as the Real Housewives of Atlanta star put it.)
Whether you’re looking for the chicest resort wear, or perhaps you’d love to rock this mesh suit under an oversized blazer, you have multiple options.
This gorgeous one-piece is uniquely crafted and the custom hand with gold bangles covering the breast area is a modern twist. With a thong back, the “Queen of Beach” is surely running things!

Legends aren’t made, they’re born and Bethann Hardison is the ultimate fashion ‘Godmother,’ who has paved the way for women of color in the fashion industry over the last decades.
As one of the very first black models on 7th ave. to walk down the runways (which were exclusively reserved for caucasians only during the 70’s), Hardison would soon become the catalyst for change that the industry undeniably needed.
In her latest documentary, “Invisible Beauty,” the film captures Bethann in all her glory, including a glimpse inside her modeling days, her relationship with her son Kadeem Hardison, her modeling agency, and the importance of the Black Girls Coalition, which is an advocacy/support group for models of color that was founded by Hardison.
Originally from the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Hardison indubitable impact extends far back to when she was first discovered by African American designer, Willie Smith in the late 60’s.
From there, she would go on to to travel and model across the globe including France where she stole the show during the Battle of Versailles, by placing an obscure object on top of her head during designer Stephen Burrows debut.
While reminiscing and reflecting back on that moment in “Invisible Beauty,” Hardison states,
“When I hit that stage, I put something in my head that was defying the audience. And so as I go down the center, the more I walked, the harder and stronger, and more intense I became with the audience. I looked at them with such disdain and such strength. That moment I stood and never moved. I let them know, “We are here!”
That was a pivotal moment for Bethann Hardison as she discovered the power she had to change the trajectory of what it meant to be a black women in fashion, where diversity was scarce and opportunities were limited.
After she retired from modeling alongside the legendary Iman Abdulmajid, she created her own modeling agency in 1984, called the ‘Bethann Management Agency,’ where she represented models like Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford and Kimora Lee Simmons.
Her goal was to bring diversity to the runway and properly integrate model of colors despite institutionalized racism. Hardison statement was loud and clear that “Black is Beautiful,” and she went to bat to raise consciousness and ensure models of color never felt invisible.
Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers had the opportunity to personally meet Hardison during Sergio Hudson Fashion Show in Los Angeles, and was even able to celebrate the ‘Invisible Beauty’ film with Hardison’s son Kadeem and friends.
Sulmers, like many others is inspired by all of Hardison’s efforts and endeavors to highlight and challenge the inequalities of the fashion industry. Hardison may have laid the foundation, but our job is to remain active in the fight and activism against discrimination in the fashion industry.
The double fleece lined hood and body that features a “B” on the front, and ‘Invisible Beauty’ on the back, has sewn eyelets and seams that are finished with a reverse cover stick for a premium look.
You have until Monday, Nov. 6th to enter for a chance to win this exclusive hoodie, and all you need to do is “Like the Post” below, “Tag a Friend” that should watch the documentary, and “Share to your story” and tag, @Magnoliapics, @InvisibleBeautyFilm, and @fashionbombdaily.
We can assure you that this is one documentary that you don’t want to miss especially if you are or aspire to be in the fashion industry. It’s trailblazers like Bethann Hardison who has given us a platform to shine bright in an industry where people often don’t think blacks belong.
Without Hardison, and her unyielding fight and radical heart, who’s to say where we would be in terms of designers taking new initiatives to integrate and become more inclusive. She is a true “hero”, and it’s essential that we honor her and keep her legacy going.
As of late, Lori Harvey has been remaining low-key since her return from Paris Fashion Week, where she slayed the scene in a series of looks by Ferragamo and Chanel.
If you’re wondering why, Harvey, 26, let fans know in the comment section of her Halloween Instagram post that she is simply tired.
That’s right! Lori posted an image dressed as Lara Croft for Halloween, and one person commented, “How we went from Beyoncé last year to this?😩” To which Harvey replied, “girl I was tired this year 😭🤣.”
Despite being tired, we love that she still put effort into getting dressed up for Halloween, and that she’s been stepping out in some of the most casually chic ensembles in Los Angeles.
Her muted white $275 @ysl x @neweracap cassandre canvas cap brilliantly shaped her face, and her gold $162 chunky @heavenmayhem_ tri earrings added a vintage feel.
Lately, we know it’s been all about Bottega Veneta these days with celebs, and Harvey is no exception. She opted for the Italian luxury brand when it came down to her woven mini pouch and beige stretch mesh & leather pumps that perhaps completed her outfit.
We love how Harvey know’s how to switch it up from time to time, and this look definitely exuded strength , and embodied craftsmanship that was spot on.

Rapper Saweetie’s ‘queen of nail art manicures’ title still stands, especially after her latest “Miss Edward Scissorhands” Halloween costume.

It’s no surprise that the “Icy Girl” Saweetie chose “Edward Scissorhands,” as her costume choice based on her admiration for long and extravagant nail art, which felt on brand. As we know her for having exceptionally long claws, this look for Halloween was nothing new to her.
IG/ReproductionIG/Reproduction
In a recent Instagram Halloween video, she captioned, “Are these long enough for u?” while posing in a leather two-piece set, paired with black platform boots to add a touch of edginess to her costume. Still the main topic of discussion, her Scissorhands inspired manicure that were embellished with rhinestones, made her Halloween costume a total success.
Created by manicurist, Temeka Jackson, Saweetie’s extra long nails were curated to look like knives and scissors. For her makeup glam, artist Kenya Alexis painted the rapper in the palest shade of white, mimicking Edward’s skin from the film. In addition to the exact black makeup, Alexis completed her make-up with sculpted cheeks and dark shadows for dramatized contour.
