She says, “I absolutely love makeup! I use L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation, it’s very affordable and lasts all day and night! “

“To cover dark circles and blemishes, I use Master Conceal by FaceStudio. It stays on long and gives a smooth and natural finish. “

” I love my True Complexion Contour Palette by Black Radiance. A powder palette that sculpts, highlights and defines.”

“Of course, you have to top off with L’Oréal Infallible setting spray. “

“I love that makeup can be affordable. Everything was under $20!!!! All products can be found at your local (CVS, Walgreens, or Target.) “

Beautiful looks Rahkii! I hope we get to see you at Cocktails with Claire Chicago! If you guys want to see more of her looks while we get ready, head to her IG: @rahkii. So, what do you think?

Draya Michele might have worn her most prim and proper look yet at the Bad Moms Los Angeles Premiere—clad in an $895 Marc Jacobs Black Embellished A-Line Dress and $745 Manolo Blahnik Black Estro Sandals:

Her satin LBD boasts sequin embellishment, sheer insets, a jewel neckline, three-quarter sleeves, an A-line silhouette, a nipped-in waist, straight hem, and a self-tie.

Her black suede sandals feature clear PVC straps, functional 3.75″ heels, lace-up ankle ties, and polished silver-tone aglets.

This was fab!

Kara del Toro was pretty in pink at the Bad Moms Los Angeles Premiere in a $248 Reformation Cerise Cabot Dress:

Her floor-length dress features slip-inspired styling, a v-neckline, and a high center front slit.

Not too keen on the shoe choice, but I love the simplicity of a long slip dress!

Are you feeling it?

Today’s hottest it-girls love their DSquared2!

Whether they’re rocking the brand’s fearless designs or simply indulging in their runway presentations, it’s evident that this is one of the most sought after names in fashion. Loyal DSquared2 enthusiasts include Karrueche Tran, Rita Ora and even Cara Delevingne. Yet, it’s their sultry ‘RiRi’ Lace-up Sandal that has plagued the street style scene on multiple occasions.

Keep reading to find out which style mavens slayed in these alluring gems!

You know you’re popping when an entire fashion house names a pair of heels after you! And, Queen Rih certainly knows how to rock them. In this look, she uplifted a blue crocheted Balmain Resort 2017 ensemble and a gray metallic Dior handbag. Fierce!

The songstress has also been spotted in a black version that perfectly complemented her memorable Discount Universe ‘fit.

Kendall Jenner turned heads while killing it in the ‘RiRi’ thigh-high options at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.

In contrast to the simple black hue, model and loyal Balmain supporter Alessandra Ambrosio went for gilded vibes with her footwear.

Kim Kardashian West hit the streets this past Friday in an edgy black harness, a long-sleeved tshirt and the DSquared2 lace-up lovelies. Hot!

Our girl Laura Govan always serves it up for Instagram! Her account is chock full of outfit inspiration and she just makes everything look so effortless. In this shot, she flaunted her impeccable bod in a plunging House of CB pencil dress and a trendy tie choker.

 

The DSquared2 ‘RiRi’ Lace-Up Sandals are a bomb addition to any wardrobe but they’re going to cost you a pretty penny! Retailing for about $965 a pair, I think it’s safe to label them as an investment. The ‘RiRi’ sandals also boast a leather sole, a metal logo at the back and a 4.7-inch heel. They’re also available in a plethora of hues and prints including powder blue, gold, black, snakeskin and royal blue. Get yours here!

They’re beyond gorgeous! I’ve always been a sucker for a good heel. But, trust me, if I had the coins, these would be at the top of my wish list.

Giuseppe Zanotti is set to make shoe magic with the inimitable Jennifer Lopez:

“I’m very proud of the businesses I’ve built,” Lopez told WWD. “They’ve allowed me to bring really great product at an accessible price point. But I hadn’t done a high-end project yet and this seemed like the right time, medium and designer. I’ve always been passionate about shoes. Sometimes I even choose an outfit around my shoes.”

J.Lo and Zanotti officially met last year in LA, to collaborate on some custom designs. They then decided on a full-fledged collection, which was influenced by a slew of inspiration photos the superstar passed on to the designer, as well as a lot of prototypes that he had shipped in from Milan.

A nude, pointed-toe pump with ankle ties and cutout detailing, a simple suede platform sandal, and the brand’s iconic wedge sneaker (and a personal favorite of Lopez’s) are all reported to be in the mix. “She gives me suggestions and I give her advice and both of us, we are open to learn,” said Zanotti of working with the icon. “Every time I work with a star I learn a lot. Also, I teach a lot because I’m a shoemaker, a designer. I’m born with a pencil in my hand. For old teenagers like me it’s good to learn.”

J.Lo is a huge fan of Zanotti’s work and feels a kind of loyalty to his brand. “It’s impossible not to feel like a more confident, sexier version of yourself when you’re wearing a pair of Zanottis. The shoes are so in line with my personal style, it felt easy and natural.”

And this is definitely different from the other celebrity collections the brand has done in the past. “I need to create something not only for red carpet or couture but something for reality,” said Giuseppe. “We have probably 18 styles at the moment. It’s a small universe.”

We’ll get our first look at the assortment next week thankfully, at the Footwear Fashion Association of New York. But we’ll have to wait a bit longer to actually squeeze our toes in the stunners—January to be exact at not only Giuseppe Zanotti boutiques, but Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom as well.

And guess what? Two handbag styles are included! Price points are in line with Zanotti’s current luxurious wares, coming in at $795 to $1,995.

And there are already rumblings of continuing this collaboration past the initial launch in January, according to Lopez. “Given it’s the right timing, I’m absolutely interested in continuing this collaboration and working on similar ones. An opportunity to work with some of the most celebrated designers in the industry is something I likely wouldn’t want to pass up.”

We cannot wait to see what they’re cooking up!

Mommy-to-be Mila Kunis was on hand for the Los Angeles premiere of her new comedy Bad Moms looking every bit of gorgeous! For the occasion, the actress slipped into an Atelier Versace Fall 2016 Couture Printed Silk Ribbon Dress and soft pink bow tie pumps from the brand.

On the runway, a similar dress with a longer hem was showcased by model Taylor Hill. The eclectic piece boasts burgundy, periwinkle and black ribbon detailing, a fitted bodice and a strapless neckline.

Surprisingly, I prefer the longer version of the dress. While Mila looks phenomenal, I don’t think this frock wasn’t the best decision. But, her makeup is absolutely flawless!

Hot! Or Hmm…: What do you think of Mila Kunis’s Bad Moms Los Angeles Premiere Atelier Versace Fall 2016 Couture Printed Ribbon Detail Dress?

Yes! She’s literally glowing!

Hmmmm, something’s off. Not feeling it!

Fantasia continues to murder her The Definition Of promo appearances and today was no different.  The songstress showed off her bomb style in a $169 Jessica Rich Collection Basic Bandage Jumpsuit:

This outfit was styled perfectly.  Definitely worth the splurge.
