If anyone’s been on people’s radar as of late, its undoubtedly Bailey and her beau DDG (who’s real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) for recent speculations of the duo expecting their first child together.

If the rumors are true, the “Do It” singer has done a phenomenal job at concealing her baby bump, and for the Glamour WOTY awards she and her bae looked quite impressive.
Bailey wore a black and white NICOLE + FELICIA couture dress that looked like it was inspired by the late Karl Lagerfeld based off the white 3-D floral detailing at the hem of her dress.
The strapless velvet top part of her dress was flattering on her petit figure and for elevated height, she wore an open-toe velvet platform. DDG matched his lady’s fly in a luxe black on black tuxedo with combat boots that looked sharp, and tailor made.
They both were iced out with diamonds with DDG sporting an oversized cross necklace and Bailey opting for a diamond open choker with matching dangling earrings.

Despite Halle doing her best to hide her stomach, she still had Fashion Bomb daily readers in an uproar with many praising Bailey for her exceptional style, and others bringing attention to her baby bump.
@breadoresdasani commented, “The perfect dress to hide that baby bump,” while @bonita_brownskin commented, “They styling the heck out of this bump. Beautiful as always (with the heart eyes emoji).

One thing for sure is that the glow-up is real for Halle Bailey, and she looks genuinely happy with DDG, so if the pregnancy rumors are true, congratulations is in order to the R&B singer turned Actress.
The “Umbrella” singer Rihanna is ready for Fall and she stepped out in one of the most swankiest looks on her way to dinner in New York City last week.

Opting for a refresh and bold statement this season, with brilliant staples like her $3,190 Balenciaga Pantaleggings boots, Rihanna wore the chicest $2,335 gray Dries Van Noten double-breasted mélange wool coat that she belted at the waist.
Keeping her accessories to a minimum, the “Diamonds” singer necklace was iced out with the finest jewels, that alone, would make anyone say Cha-Ching!
Considering that Bottega Veneta has been her and Rocky’s go-to choice for handbags as of late, she styled her outfit with an oversized maroon Bottega Veneta bag that had the brands signature woven detail throughout.
When it came down to her beauty, RiRi served a sun kissed face with a chocolate glazed lip and ambering rose blushed cheeks. Her ginger hair was long with ocean waves that made her look youthful yet elegant.
Rihanna continues to show us that even after becoming a mother of two, she is embracing her post-pregnancy body image by taking pride in her appearance which in our book, makes her a role-model for all new moms.

What do you think? Does this Fashion Bomb Couple have another ‘fit hit?
Red is the color of the season. From Ferragamo to Tory Burch, the scarlet hue was all over the Fall 2023 runways, and even more recently, taking over the celeb circuit with Cardi B’s fiery Candice Cuoco birthday dress, Jennifer Lopez posing in a ruby red Very Gathercole gown and Beyoncé with Blue Ivy in coordinating sequin Telfar. Red is that girl for fall 2023.
Fall is known as the season we “start dressin’.” Layered looks and statement coats make their debut, boots of all kinds slip out of hibernation, and textures galore hit the streets (this season, fringed fabrics, satin, and fuzzy knits will be at the textile forefront).
To help you stay on top of your fall fashion game, Fashion Nova is here with fiery red looks so you can dominate this season’s trending color.
