Gabrielle Union was the belle of the ball at The Birth of a Nation 60th BFI London Film Festival Premiere Screening in a Zuhair Murad Fall 2016 Black Halter Embroidered Gown:
Gabrielle eschewed the brand’s choker and buckle belt to let the plunging neckline get some shine.
Stunning.

Today we’re reveling in the incomparable beauty of actress Gabrielle Union!
The actress is featured in the seminal new movie Birth of a Nation, but has earned her shops in Being in Mary Jane, Think Like a Man, Bad Boys, Bring It On, Top Five, Love and Basketball, Cadillac Records, and many more.
With clear brown skin and shiny hair, Gabrielle’s beauty is found in her simplicity. She’s able to stun with a fresh face; her bright eyes and smile are enough to enliven any occasion.
Though a nude palette is more her swag, she’s definitely able to pull pretty much anything off. Berry lips, metallic lids, smokey eyes…her face can carry it all.
Though long, sleek, straight locks are her signature, she’s not afraid to have fun. Her recent red carpet twirls have seen her in bumped pompadours, high buns, and even braided styles.
Bask in her beauty in the gallery above, and let us know: is she worthy of our girl crush award this fine Wednesday?
Olivia Palermo was spotted out and about in the Big Apple, uplifting her simple, all-black ‘fit with a $150 Ivy Park Blue Camo Wrap Back Jacket:

Cute!

Makeup empire Covergirl has made a move towards gender equality in electing its first CoverBoy, James Charles.
The 17-year-old New York makeup artist will star in Covergirl’s new mascara campaign, “So Lashy,” which launches later this month.
Charles’s fierce Yearbook photo went viral earlier this year, thanks to his expertly highlighted and contoured makeup.
On his instagram @JCharlesBeauty, he wrote, “I am so honored and excited to be working with such an iconic brand. I started my Instagram one year ago to inspire others and as an artistic outlet to challenge myself creatively. I truly hope that this shows that anyone and everyone can wear makeup and can do anything if you work hard.”
You better slay, James!
What do you think of Covergirl’s new appointment?
A few days ago, Beyonce punctuated a denim look with a sassy fur Blood & Honey clutch that read “I Kiss Better Than I Cook.”
After Beyonce made a splash, I had to stop by their showroom. I was blown away by their selection of sumptuous pelts in candy colors like pink, purple, and blue.
I had a good old time;)
A quick pop by their online store, and I fell deeper in love. The coats are certainly a splurge starting at $2,500, but if you’re going to invest in a coat, this might be the move.
