It’s time to get into another edition of our lovely Look of the Week feature! With my evening coming to a screeching halt, I’m going to make this a quick post. Due to my lack of time management skills (and, the fact that I’m starving), I’m literally drafting this post on the remaining 3% of life that I left from my job – so, please, bear with me ya’ll!
Lupita Nyong’o and David Oyelowo attended the historic opening of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. while looking spewing all types of sartorial perfection. While the dapper actor chose to don an expertly-tailored forest green suit,Queen of Katwe‘s own leading lady slayed in a multicolored geometric print midi dress by Maki Oh. She accessorized with electric blue suede pumps and a matching head wrap. Yes, Queen!
Rihanna granted life to each one of her 44.4 million Instagram followers as she debuted her highly-anticipated Spring 2017 Fenty x PUMA collection at Paris Fashion Week! As her Marie Antoinette-inspired designs waltzed down the elegant runway, the songstress held her audience captive as she uplifted her own bubble gum pink eyelet-drenched set that boasts a dramatic silhouette, drawstring detailing and a relaxed fit. To see more of her flawless line, check out our show review here!
Model Jasmine Sanders was certain that all eyes were glued to her as she attended amfAR Milano 2016 in a Berta sequin-embellished wrap dress from the brand’s Fall 2016 presentation. The gorgeous starlet let her statement-making frock do all the talking as she slipped into a pair of nude patent leather sandals accentuated by icy diamond accents. I’m totally in love with look! Although we’ve seen plenty of the “plunging” necklines on and off the red carpet, I think she made it look effortlessly classy. Super cute!
Newlywed Eniko Hart struck a quick pose for the ‘Gram as she showcased her bodacious bod in a curve-hugging, semi-sheer jumpsuit from Jessica Rich Collection. The sultry number also features a striped mesh top, bandage pants and long sleeves. Available for about $169, it is a splurge but, trust me, it’s worth it! Per usual, the bombshell kept her accessories to a minimum as she completed her look with black leather ankle strap sandals and an easy, breezy updo.
If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, you probably weren’t aware of the epic Balmain Spring 2017 runway show that took place during Paris Fashion Week. And, as Tinseltown’s finest flocked to the City of Love to partake in the stylish festivities, the Kardashian clan was also on the scene! But, it was Kim and Kourtney who almost broke the internet with their dual selfie that featured 70’s era, gilded pieces from the French label. The reality stars were bronzed to perfection as they proved why that Kardashian reign just won’t let up. It’s simple: they slay. That is all. Love it!
Halle Berry graced the cameras at Revlon’s Annual Philanthropic Luncheon while flaunting her sculpted frame in a fitted David Koma bodycon wonder. The 50-year-old actress served up edgy vibes as she played up her two-toned dress with strappy black heels and a playful bun. I don’t know about ya’ll, but Ms. Berry is #goals! I can only pray that I’ll be as poised and beautiful as she is when I grow up. Now, if only she can point me in the direction of the Fountain of Youth…
Our girl Fantasia went back to black as she attended a celebratory event for the opening of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture in a jaw-dropping NuOfficial black and white ombre cape gown. With a sleek short ‘do and a dark berry lip on deck, ‘Tasia killed! Honestly, I’ve been stalking her Instagram for the past few months and I don’t think she’s getting enough credit. She’s consistently slaying in the style department and the world should take note; hence, why I suggested her as a nominee for the Look of the Week. Werk!
Quite the list, no?
What do you think of the contenders? Who slayed? And, who fell flat?
Look of the Week: Which fashionista takes the crown?
This post about the Color Full Lives podcast is sponsored by State Farm®.
State Farm has a fabulous new series called Color Full Lives, which was created to reach and empower African-American women via a series of podcasts discussing topics important to our lives(Relationships, Finances, Entrepreneurship, Education and Health & Wellness)! It gives a nod to the full and multi-faceted lives African-American women lead.
The latest podcast features Angela Yee, Hey Fran Hey, and Tatiana Jones. Called ‘I love My Self,’ the ladies talks about self care, self love, and self empowerment.
The ladies touch on the topic of self esteem, and feeling the need to change your body to fit in. All ladies are very open about their insecurities, yet stand by their refusal to succumb to societal pressure to look a certain way.
As someone who puts their image on social media all the time, it took me a long time to turn a deaf ear to criticism and embrace everything about me, even my big boobs. And the crazy thing: after a while of me putting my image out there, people started to like my style! It was crazy!
The conversation is really good! Listen to the full podcast here or here.
In this social media age, I’m sure we can all relate to feeling pressure to change our bodies or style to be deemed more acceptable by our peers. What do you think of this epidemic? What is your answer to those who might encourage you to change your body or style for likes?

Her crepe LBD features a round neck, sleeveless silhouette, monochrome feather detailing at the shoulder, a curve-hugging fit, and an asymmetric monochrome feather panel at the front.
Hot!
If you’re up for the splurge, get Salma’s frock here.
The Dior show is always one of the most talked-about each season! Stars flooded the front row in wares from the fashion house: prints, cutouts, embellishment, and statement-making accessories were in abundance.
Let’s see what the stars wore!
After showing her own Fenty x Puma line in the City of Lights, Rihanna tended to her duties as one of the iconic French fashion house’s faces and collaborators. Her white embellished, cold shoulder mini dress, strappy DSquared2 sandals, and colorful shoulder bag were hot!
Couture maven Marjorie Harvey took to the show with husband Steven in an off-the-shoulder blush frock with a white contrast trim. She’s always flawless.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie showed that she’s much more than a brilliant author: she’s clearly also a complete fashion plate! Her black and white printed stunner and two-tone pumps were absolute style perfection.
Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand was the lady in red in a supremely feminine, flare number from the house. I’ve got my eye on her!
Supermodel and icon Kate Moss kept it simple in an embroidered denim shirt.
Jennifer Lawrence kept it surprisingly pared-down in a sheer tank, boyfriend jeans, and pointed-toe pumps.
Mommy-to-be Marion Cotillard kept it clean and easy in a white jumper, printed mini, and embellished pumps.
Karlie Kloss looked every bit the model in a black, long jacket, lacy blouse, printed high-waist slit pencil skirt, and smart black courts.
Embellishment was on the agenda for Gemma Arterton in an icy blue and burgundy set, anchored by printed strappy pumps. Cute, no?
Diane Kruger looked impossibly cool in shades, a colorful embellished frock layered over a white, off-the-shoulder top, a pink Diorama bag, and patent booties. I live for her style!
Olivia Palermo went bold with an exceptional black lip, a black and silver sheer top, embellished pleated skirt, and loafer-inspired pumps. This was fab.
Nicole Warne was Fall-perfect in a navy, double-breasted long jacket, black turtleneck, and embellished pencil skirt.
Susie Bubble always looks adorable and this time was no exception! It was all about stripes for the style maven.
Aimee Song uplifted a high-waist split pencil skirt with an asymmetric printed top, bold mini bag, and pointed-toe booties.
