I’m always on the outlook for fabulous African-American art! I absolutely love these prints by Brooklyn Dolly:
Her summer series features 9″ x 12″ prints of glorious basking beauties wearing sunglasses, head wraps, and swimsuits, luxuriating on the beach.
I gotta admit that I want them all. I imagine grabbing four and framing them in sequence at my house.
Each print is $45 a pop. Support black business and artistry here.

TGIF! We’ve made it to yet another glorious weekend and it’s time to soak up the summer sun with tons of mellow vibes!
But, before we indulge in some R&R, let’s get into some of Fashion Bomb Daily’s favorite celebrity looks of the week!
Let’s get it!
1) Teyonah Paris in Juan Carlos Obando
Fashion extraordinaire Teyonah Parris hit the red carpet for The 2016 ESPY Awards while looking every bit of regal in a satin emerald gown from Juan Carlos Obando. The sizzling piece showcases a thigh-high slit, a fitted waist and a criss-cross neckline. The actress amped up the sartorial arsenal as she also donned a matching head wrap and metallic Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Go girl!
2) Kelly Rowland in Elie Youssef
When Kelly Rowland hit the stage as a presenter for VH1’s Hip Hop Honors extravaganza, I literally screamed “Yes Kelly! Yes! You better work!” The singer/actress oozed all kinds of #BlackGirlMagic as she elegantly slayed in a black long-sleeved Elie Youssef mini dress and Stuart Weitzman sandals. I loved the detailing on this! Not only did this look fit Kelly perfectly, but she also managed to pull off the sheer trend in a classy (and memorable) way. Hot!
3) Ciara in Roberto Cavalli
Newlyweds Ciara and Russell Wilson graced the cameras while attending The 2016 ESPY Awards! The delectable duo looked absolutely flawless but it was CiCi who left us craving more! The singer chose to go glam for the event while uplifting a beige Roberto Cavalli gown that boasts a sequin bodice, a plunging neckline and cutout detailing. Hands down, these two were easily one of the best dressed couples of the evening!
4) Laura Govan in Shades of Shea
Reality starlet Laura Govan was on my personal list of ‘best dressed’ attendees for The 2016 ESPY Awards! She brought all kinds of drama as she wore a feather and sequin embellished bodycon dress from Shades of Shea. The sexy number was paired with silver Christian Louboutin pumps and minimal accessories. I’m here for everything!
5) Kylie Jenner in Galvan London
Kylie Jenner loves a good jumpsuit! The 18-year-old Instagram phenom smized for the cameras as she made an appearance at the Sinful Colors #IAmMoreThan event in a form-fitting $1,425 Galvan London Satin Crepe and Tulle Jumpsuit, a clean cut bob and icy diamond accents. Cute! And, I’m feeling this new ‘do!
6) Eve in Michael Halpern
And, to round out our list of dazzling divas, we have Eve! The iconic female rapper turned heads as she attended VH1’s Hip Hop Honors event in a sheer, shimmery jumpsuit by Michael Halpern. The sultry ‘fit showcases a high neck, exaggerated bell sleeves and matching flared bottoms. She killed it with this one! Talk about channeling high fashion vibes!

It seems Beyoncé is well on her way to becoming an Emmy winner! She was nominated for Outstanding Special Class—Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs back in 2013 for her Superbowl Performance, as well as last year for her On The Run tour documentary with husband Jay Z. And now, her short film Lemonade has scored four big noms in this year’s 68th Primetime Emmy Awards:
Here’s what the film is nominated for. Outstanding Production Design For A Variety, Nonfiction, Event or Award Special with Production Designer Hannah Beachler, Art Director Chris Britt and Set Decorator Kim Murphy up for accepting the award. Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special which Queen Bey and Director Kahlil Joseph would win. Editor Bill Yukich might take home Outstanding Picture Editing For Variety Programming. Lastly, the film as a whole is up for Outstanding Variety Special.
Naturally, we hope Lemonade sweeps! And this means Mrs. Knowles-Carter (and perhaps the whole family) will be on the red carpet…we cannot wait.

Continuing with this week’s duster coat theme, I’ve come up with four stylish ways to rock the season’s must-have trend.
Mix olive and burgundy tones with a burgundy bodysuit, khaki bodycon midi skirt, and a satin duster coat.
Add the finishing touch with an olive leather satchel, an ankle-wrap block-heel sandal, and aviator shades.
For a casual weekend look, pair a skinny-strap tank top with ripped knee skinny jeans and brown leather pumps.
Add another layer to your look with a khaki duster coat, a python shoulder bag, and crystal-embellished square-frame sunglasses.
To dress up a pair of cutoff denim shorts and distressed white tee, throw on a nude sleeveless duster coat.
Complete the look with a nude lace-up sandal, a small leather handbag, a pair of cat-eye half-frame sunglasses, and silver jewelry.
Rock a light grey duster with a black bodysuit and ripped white skinny jeans.
Bring the look together with a fabulous pair of leather and tweed cutout pumps, a monogram tassel croc-embossed shoulder bag, and grey oversized sunglasses.
And that’s it for today’s duster coat inspired style inspirations. What’s your favorite way to style the trend? Be sure to follow me on Instagram @StyleIsMyObsession for more stylish wardrobe and outfit suggestions. Based in LA and need personal styling? E-mail me at Danielle@FashionBombDaily.com.

Would you wear it?
Former Spice Girl and America’s Got Talent co-judge Mel B. was all smiles on the set of Extra to chat and share a few laughs with Extra correspondent Mario Lopez. The very toned Mel B. showed off her enviable abs in a $695 Cushnie et Ochs Black Cut-out Turtleneck Sweater and a pair of Marco de Vincenzo Prefall 2016 Plaid Flare Pants. This ribbed, turtleneck sweater is far from the ones your mom used to wear. With cut-outs on either side and a dramatic waist tie, this Cushnie et Ochs piece is simple, yet adds pizazz to any look. Mel B. paired her top with a bold pair of Marco de Vincenzo flare plaid pants.In shades of gray, blue, yellow, pink and black, these trousers aren’t particularly for the faint of heart. Despite a flat front at the hip area, pleats run through the legs offering more dimension.Mel B. definitely made the smart decision to keep everything else simple when opting for such a vibrant pattern. But, the question remains. Do you think she slayed her look?
To be honest, I’m torn. I want to fall in love with her look, and maybe it’ll grow on me. But in the dead of summer, despite the cut-outs at the side, this blaring heat isn’t particularly sweater friendly. And her trousers, despite the impeccable fit at the waist and hips seem just a touch…hmm… overwhelming in my opinion. Then again, she still looks good. And if I had abs like hers, crops tops and cut-outs to the front of the line. She completed her look with a high ponytail, gold hoops, and red, glossy lips.Her Cushnie et Ochs sweater is available here. Her trousers aren’t available for sale yet, but you can take a look at Marco de Vincenzo’s entire Prefall 2016 collection here. But what do you think, Bomb readers? Did Mel B. kill this look, or was it not your cup of tea?
