From VH1’s Basketball Wives LA to TVOne’s The Next: 15, it seems TV personality Laura Govan has managed to solidify her stay in the volatile world of reality TV since 2011. Combine that with being a mom of four and you’ve got yourself a recipe for not taking a decent amount of time for yourself. But somewhere along the way, we’ve noticed quite the transformation in Laura’s style.
Since her first appearance on television, Laura’s been a fan of somewhat shapeless silhouettes that didn’t seem to accentuate any part of her body with the exception of her legs. And with cascading hair, it sometimes hid her enviable bone structure. Satin dresses and flowing tops dominated her wardrobe in her early days.
But as the years progressed, we saw a more confident and noticeably more svelte Laura. Trading in long locks for a very chic low cut to highlight her high cheeks and stunning makeup definitely elevated her look. But Laura’s wardrobe also took a took for the better, thanks to celebrity stylist Daniel Hawkins.
From embellished blazers to sexy mini dresses and sultry separates that show off her toned midsection, Laura seems to up the ante with each ensemble. And the likes of Christian Louboutin, Giuseppe Zanotti, Chanel, BCBG Max Azria and House of CB are certainly labels to consider if a style boost is in order. And what’s to be lauded is how she’s shattered the color and fabric choice barrier. Denim crop tops, lace pieces, garments that favor slightly masculine tailoring and lots of red now take precedence. And we’re not complaining.
So here’s to Laura! She’s made quite the progression into such a style savant, and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for more fabulous looks to come.
Take a look through the gallery to see how Laura’s sartorial game has evolved.
The heat is on! Funny gal Kristen Wiig sizzled at the Masterminds Los Angeles premiere clad in a Marc Jacobs Fall 2017 Sequin Patchwork Thigh High Slit Long Sleeve Gown:
Her bold gown was modeled on the runway styled with black platform boots.
I love that she added a belt to create more shape to the somewhat boxy silhouette.
Happy Wednesday, folks!

If you’re up for the splurge, get Kim’s frock here.
Rihanna has almost single handedly inaugurated a new trend of slipping the shoulders off of her shirts, letting her clavicles and collar bones shine.
She has become a master of making a regular button down by Vetements into a sexier shirt, or wearing a simple Balenciaga denim jacket in a more suggestive way.
Models in Balenciaga’s Fall 2016 show illustrated the look on the runway, wearing everything from ribbed dresses to puffer coats off the shoulders.
The essence of this trend is not to slip on a shirt that was made to be off shoulder, but rather wearing regular tops and jackets in a new way.
This trend doesn’t seem to be super practical, but Rihanna slays.
