Hilario’s style is a juxtaposition of many experimental elements. From gender-bending in plaid maxi skirts and oversized handbags to going all avant-garde in complimentary proportioned all-black looks and spliced denim, this New Yorker knows how to mix things and mix things up.
Like a true New Yorker, Hilario’s wardrobe is stacked with darker tones but that doesn’t stop him from occasionally stepping out in highly saturated hues. Show this Bomber’s style some love and visit his Instagram @touchangel.

Coined the “Oscars of Fashion,” we saw fashion’s biggest heavy hittas push the envelope one step forward with their avant-garde ensembles that we’re vastly different, progressive and a sight to behold.
From the Fashion Icon Award recipient, Serena Williams showcasing structure with balloon shaped sleeves, to the host of the evening Anne Hathaway showing off a new interpretation of denim, and celebrity stylist Law Roach abstract suit bottoms, many celebs looked innovative while other’s clearly emulated.
Here are some of the best and worst red carpet looks from the CFDA Awards last night.

After just delivering birth to her second baby girl Adira, on August 22, Serena looked glammed to the nines in a black sequin Thom Browne dress that had voluminous off the shoulder embellished sleeves and a exaggerated train. For her accessories, Williams opted for a bold diamond necklace and pearl studded earrings.
Kim Kardashian in Chrome Hearts

If anyone has tapped into quiet luxury, it’s definitely Kim Kardashian who kept things simple in a leather halter Chrome Hearts dress that had multi cross patches placed throughout. Keeping her jewelry to a minimum, Kardashian wore layered rings to compliment her black stiletto nails. Kim’s look this year was understated compared to the latex ensemble she served last year.
Lala Anthony in Saint Sintra

Lala Anthony glistened in a bronze chocolate brown Saint Sintra satin corset body suit that she layered with a long matching satin robe and paired with dark black hosiery. She pulled her hair into a tight bun that felt appropriate with the bold gold choker necklace that completed her look.
Mary J Blige in Christian Siriano

With the holiday season on the horizon, Mary J. Blige showed us that she’s two-steps ahead of the game in a black and silver Christian Siriano sheer and sequin gown that could easily be worn to a Christmas or New Years gala.

Blige wasn’t the only one to wear Christian Siriano, as the designer himself posed next to his muse, model Coco Rocha who looked captivating in a structured and textured black top, with a pink maxi high slit skirt, and champagne satin platforms. Her black circular shaped hat was merrily the icing on the cake.

Alton Mason, let us know that he’s been hitting the gym as he showed of his killer abs in a black Dolce & Gabbana fur trimmed coat, with camouflage cargo pants and a Chrome Hearts belt that had layered chains.
Law Roach in Luar

If anyone’s going to serve a sketch, it’s undoubtedly Celebrity stylist Law Roach who opted for a khaki colored Luar suit with a white shirt and oversized blush tie. Most notably was his cutout bottoms that revealed his Calvin Klein undies and black fishnet stockings. This was certainly one of the most fashion-forward looks of the evening.
Saweetie in Cult Gaia

We loved how rapper Saweetie took a risk and played with shapes at the CFDA awards in a straw fabric Cult Gaia dress that had innovative 3D shapes and cutouts at her her hips. Her gold metallic platform sandals made her ensemble feel very futuristic.
Anne Hathaway in Ralph Lauren

Looking like the quintessential poster girl for Ralph Lauren, Anne Hathaway wore a denim corset top with a light denim floral maxi skirt that had a long train and felt on brand for the American designer.
June Ambrose in Bibhu Mohapatra

We know Creative Director, June Ambrose loves a good Bibhu Mohapatra gown and the icon herself look spectacular in a black off the shoulder tulle pleated dress that she wore with a $7,995 Judith Leiber TV clutch and a statement @khiatullae bunny ear hat.
Ayesha Curry in Diotima

Ayesha Curry served net galore in a red and black Diotima knit stress that had cutouts everywhere and was unparalleled to anything else we saw on the red carpet. We loved her fearlessness and provocative elegance.
Winnie Harlow in Marc Jacobs

Model Winnie Harlow can do no wrong, and the gorgeous model who was a Halloween showstopper this year, cleaned up nicely to attend the CFDA Awards in a black polka-dot March Jacobs dress that looked prestigious and monumental. Her patent leather Marc Jacobs platforms were the perfect calculated risk and her jewels gleamed against her beautiful vitiligo skin.
Vanessa Hudgens in Vera Wang

Although Vanessa Hudgen’s glam looked immaculate, her dress and gloves felt traditional and we wish she would have stepped outside of the box a bit more. Nonetheless, her long black gloves were right on trend and she could have easily taken it up a notch by adding layered rings for a high fashion appeal.
Natasha Lambkin is blazing a new trail, merging fashion and faith in a miraculous way with her notable designs that can’t help but receive all the glory.
Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Lambkin knew that fashion was her calling, and attended FIT University. With beauty and brains, after college she pursued a career in the modeling industry where she soared. Despite her success, Natasha felt unfulfilled and did some soul searching to discover her true purpose.
As her walk with God strengthen, she had an epiphany to start her own clothing line that promoted modesty fashion and Christian faith entitled, Tashee Inc.
“Tashee,” which is short for Natasha, was a nickname given to her by her father, and is symbolic to being a princess. “I wanted my consumers to feel like God’s princesses, royalty, and like they’re apart of God’s kingdom, which is why I named my brand Tashee,” explained Lambkin.
Since beginning her clothing line in 2015, she has gained massive success being featured in editorial magazines like Vogue Italia, Elle Arabia, Bustle Magazine and Hello Beautiful.
In addition to being recognized by the New York Mayor for her work in ministry and fashion, and working with celebs like J.Bolin, Real Talk Kim, and Gospel singer, Casey J.
“Our customer base is so diverse, you don’t have to be Christian to shop with us, as we have people who are Muslim, Jewish, and Atheist who wear our brand, and I think that’s what it’s all about,” said Lambkin.
Showcasing a cohesive all white collection, that included the perfect bridal attire, shimmering ruched dresses, and modest resort wear, Tashee Inc. showed up and showed out!
“Our aesthetic is very chic, modern, classy, and innovative,” said Lambkin. “We combine all those elements and many people are drawn to our style, and become even more intrigued when they find out what we’re all about.”
“I have been following Fashion Bomb daily since 2010 and to be a part of Fashion Bomb daily Shop is a complete honor,” expressed Lambkin. “When I hear of Fashion Bomb daily, I just think about being apart of an industry and environment that’s all about setting new trends and being fashion-forward.”
Among their stunning designs, Tashee Inc.’s “Tulip Jumpsuit” is a best-seller as it caters to different body shapes, is structured and has a cinched waist with ballooned shaped pants, similar to the iconic MC Hammer pants.
With her well-versed collection, Natasha Lambkin is making serious waves in the fashion industry as a faith based brand that promotes modesty in the most fashionable way.
“I see my brand being a household name and a million dollar empire because Tashee Inc. is more that just fashion,” shared Lambkin. “We also have a media company, and are working on new endeavors, so I see us being bigger and larger than life.”
Actress and Model, Jodie Turner was the first to be spotted slaying in this dazzling and mesmerizing gown on the red carpet for George Clooney’s Foundation For Justice Inaugural Albie Awards.
The long sleeve tulle gown was perfectly draped and characterized with a mock neck, and layered mermaid hem that seemingly stole the spotlight.
Turner rocked her signature pixie hair cut that was dyed fuchsia pink to match her maroon lips. Her black and silver statement earrings compliment her black embellished clutch, and if anyone made an entrance at the event it was undoubtedly Turner who shone brightly.
Also giving this magnificent Christian Siriano dress the limelight that it deserved was the iconic Janet Jackson who looked phenomenal and opulent posing next to her former co-star, Tasha Smith during a friends wedding.
Jackson, who noticeably lost a lot of weight, looked the best that’s she’s ever looked, and appeared to be all smiles. She kept things fresh and youthful with her braids pulled into two puff-ball pig tails, with baby hair that softly shaped her face. For her glam, Jackson opted for a peachy shadow, with matching cheeks and lined champagne colored lips.
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.

The dress has entered the chat once again courtesy of Candiace Dillard. The Real Housewives of Potomac star hit up BravoCon 2023 in the striped mini dress which she accessorized with black satin opera gloves, open-toe platform sandals and circle frame white 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!
It’s that special time of year when Brovolebrities gather to celebrate the year’s biggest and best moments on the network. With meet-and-greets, panels, and interviews, it’s a frenzy of fans, housewives, Summer House residents, top chefs with southern charm, superyacht crews, and so much more.
