Fashion News: Christian Dior Names Maria Grazia Chiuri As First Female Designer

After eight months, the Paris-based couture brand Christian Dior has finally replaced Raf Simons. After announcing her departure from Valentino, Maria Grazia Chiuri has been named to Dior’s top post.

1466694365-gettyimages-valentino-maria-grazia-chiuriThe move makes Chiuri the first female designer of Dior in the brand’s 70 year history. Having recently made headlines for tapping their first male ambassador with A$AP Rocky as well as collaborating with a female ambassador for the first time with Rihanna, the label has been rife with changes. This latest is definitely a welcome one as it breaks down the boy’s club that holds the top jobs at major European luxury houses.

Maria-Grazia-Chiuri-Pierpaolo-PiccioliChiuri is known most notably for the 17 years she spent at Valentino. There, along with Pierpaolo Piccioli the creative partner she’s worked with for a quarter of a century, she ascended to the creative director role. Prior to that, the pair revitalized accessories at Fendi. But now Piccioli will direct Valentino alone while Chiuri starts her tenure at Dior.

Christian-Dior-Fall-2016-7It will be interesting to see how Chiuri’s aesthetic develops now that she is alone. What do you think? Was she the right pick for Dior?

Look of the Week featuring Jennifer Hudson, Naomi Campbell, Ciara And More!

My heart is still heavy.

With all the endless turmoil unfolding within the world, it’s been tough carrying on with daily activities and “pretending” to be okay. But, I always manage to find some peace and solace within my writing. I’m blessed to be able to express myself in such a way and it’s an honor to share my talent with such an amazing audience.

On a lighter note, please join me as we sift through the contenders for our favorite looks of the week!

1) Naomi Campbell in Tommy Hilfiger

The ageless Naomi Campbell was an absolute vision as she attended The Serpentine Summer Party co-hosted by designer Tommy Hilfiger. She uplifted a shimmery number from the brand that showcases a plunging neckline, a navy-to-gold ombre effect and a fitted waist. Diamond accents and flawless makeup completed her glamorous look. Hot!

2) Ciara in Cavalli Couture

Huge congratulations are in order to Ciara and Russell Wilson! The two lovebirds officially tied the knot on Wednesday in an intimate ceremony held at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England. For the portentous occasion, the songstress donned a stunning Cavalli Couture White Silk Tulle Chantilly Lace Applique Bridal Gown and romantic blonde curls. CiCi’s jaw-dropping dress also boasts floral embroidery, glass beading and sheer fluted sleeves. So gorg!

3) Laura Govan in Helmut LangAlexander Wang and Kyna Collection

Laura Govan is no stranger to our Look of the Week feature! The Instagram fave garnered almost over 6,000 likes with her multicolored frock that included a yellow Helmut Lang blazer, an Alexander Wang leather bralet, high-waisted Kyna Collection trousers and patent leather Chrsitian Louboutin pumps. I loved everything about this! The bold palette, the polished fit, the amazing hair…. gosh! I have to admit, Laura is another one of those style mavens that can make almost anything look good.

4) Jennifer Hudson in Christian Siriano

It never fails: Celebs always seem to post some of the hottest pictures to the ‘Gram! A few days ago, Jennifer Hudson shut it down as she flaunted her lustrous curves while headed to Ciara and Russell Wilson’s private wedding ceremony in a peach-hued Christian Siriano number that features a fishtail silhouette, exaggerated draped detailing and an undeniably chic 1930s-vintage appeal. The singer also rocked finger waves, an eclectic purple lip and minimal accessories.

5) Rihanna in Balmain and DSquared2

Rihanna-Balmain-1

Fashion icon and self-proclaimed Bad Gal Rihanna scoured London streets (alongside rumored beau Drake) while rocking a Balmain Resort 2017 Light Wash Long Denim Coat, a Knitted Fringed Blue Dress and a colorblock belt from the brand. But, RiRi’s high fashion ensemble didn’t stop there! She also slipped into a pair of lace-up DSquared2 powder blue sandals and even carried a metallic version of Dior‘s most coveted ‘Diorama’ handbag. Flawless!

Be safe out there this weekend! See you guys soon!

Get the Beauty Look: Blac Chyna’s Khloe Kardashian Birthday Party Bold Lashes, Contour, and Nude Lip

Hello beauty lovers!  We’re introducing a new feature highlighting celebrity makeup looks and a step by step rundown on how you can recreate the look.

Last week Blac Chyna attended her future sister in law’s birthday party wearing a light, glamorous look.  She opted for a subtle beat by rocking nude lips, a bangin’ contour, black eyeliner and white eye shadow.

Take a seat at your beauty station and find out how you can achieve Blac Chyna’s contour and nude lip look, courtesy of Lacey Watson.

Foundation:

Highlight and Contour:

  • To highlight, apply the Nars Concealer (I used the caramel shade) with a beauty blender.  Highlighting does exactly that; it emphasizes areas of your face that captures the natural light.  Apply the concealer under your eyes, your forehead, the bridge of your nose and depending on your face shape, you can highlight your jawline.
  • Set your face using Laura Mercier Translucent Powder using a #50 Sephora Collection Brush.  Lightly dust the translucent powder on the areas that you highlighted.  This will prevent the makeup from moving.
  • To contour, utilize the Anastasia Contour Powder Palette (Tan to Deep) with the #59 Sephora Collection Brush.  Contouring defines the shape of the face.  Each contour will be different because each face shape is different.  Generally apply the contour powder from your temples to the hollows of your cheeks.
