Beyoncé is one of many celebrities who has made a statement on the untimely and unfortunate deaths of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
“We are Sick and Tired of the Killings of Young Men and Women in our Communities.
It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they ‘Stop Killing Us.’
We don’t need sympathy.
We need everyone to respect our lives.
We’re going to stand up as a community and fight against anyone who believes that murder or any violent action by those who are sworn to protect us should consistently go unpunished.
These robberies of lives makes us feel helpless and hopeless but we have to believe that we are fighting for the rights of the next generation, for the next young men and women who believe in good.
This is a human fight. No matter your race, gender, or sexual orientation. This is a fight for anyone who feels marginalized, who is struggling for freedom and human rights.”
Hats off to Beyoncé for taking a stand and using her platform to empower.
As we reflect upon this week’s events, we must ask: What is the solution? Gun control?
Let us know your thoughts.

Alton Sterling and Philando Castile are now joining the ranks of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, Walter Scott, Laquan McDonald, and many more who have been victims of police brutality in recent years. We can only ask: WHEN WILL THIS END?
We can no longer stay silent and we can no longer continue with business as usual. Not today.

Margot Robbie made a chic appearance as she graced the cameras for the London premiere of her new film The Legend of Tarzan where she stars in the role of Jane Porter. The actress turned heads as she donned a custom Miu Miu Spring 2016 Sheer Illusion Cutout Embroidered Gown, soft blonde curls and diamond accents.
The romance-inspired dress uplifts a towering front slit, a rounded neckline and black trimming. If you ask me, the fan embroidery was the real MVP in this look!
Margot’s co-star Alexander Skarsgard also made a dapper appearance in a tailored tux.

#MeetTheWilsons ! Congratulations are in order for Ciara and Russell Wilson. The gorgeous pair tied the knot in an intimate fairytale wedding ceremony at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England.
The beautiful bride looked ravishing in a custom Cavalli Couture bridal gown designed by the brand’s Creative Director Peter Dundas. The romantic inspired floral embroidered couture number was crafted from white silk tulle and adorned with Chantilly lace appliqué and delicate glass beading. The handsome groom got dapper in a Giorgio Armani Made to Measure six-button peak-lapel evening tails suit and white vest.
Celeb go-to designer Michael Costello was enlisted to create elegant custom black gowns for Ciara’s eight bridesmaids, including sister-friends Kelly Rowland, Lala Anthony and Serena Williams.
Jennifer Hudson beamed on her way to the nuptials in a coral pleated sleeve gown by Christian Siriano. Gorgeous, no?
The Johnny Was Handmade Silk Kimono was inspired by the stories and traditions of the Orients. The primary vision was to combine the elegance and grace of the Japanese kimono and pair it with exuberant prints, colors and embroideries. Each kimono is one-of-a-kind and features their own unique look. See more about pricing and sizing here!
The runway version of the dress was paired with eccentric footwear and a cream head wrap. While the look boasts a thigh high slit and exposed midriff, this little number oozes all types of sexy vibes.
Aiko’s fancy heels were also the topic of conversation on social media. The Monika Chiang ‘Michaela’ Spazzoloto Heels uplift black shiny leather, a wide ankle strap and a silver oversized signature buckle. Luckily, these gems are currently on sale – get them now!
Jhene looks great! They look awesome together, no?
Alexandre Vauthier has a particular kind of ability and dexterity when it comes to merging couture techniques with fluent-appearing dressing. There’s a real reason that women look so uncomplicated and sexy in his designs though they’re oft design marvels. Case in point: the lot of supermodels stomping down his Fall 2016 Couture runway. Jourdan, Bella, and Karly, among others.
His quintessential sultriness was combined with actual functionality—though we’re all quite clear that’s not what Couture’s actually for. Silky cargo trousers with a sheer fishnet top and silver embellished moto jacket felt ready for recreation, while slouchy embellished camo pants paired with a classic, white button-front shirt felt as classic and relatable as Vauthier has ever been.
Let’s talk about gams, shall we? The collection overflowed with leg-baring mini dresses. A feather-accented LBD was given modern flair with an oversized green sash cinching the waist and a black and gold, lurex-threaded stunner on Cindy Bruna channeled a classic tweed jacket gone completely va-va-voom.
Texture play was of incredible importance—a black, plush velvet coat was paired with glittering sequins, a brown patent leather trench was anchored with matching over-the-knee boots, an opulent fur felt like the epitome of decadence with suede boots, and a voluminous gown inspired by couturier Charles James was given edge with grommet-accented accessories.
And the grommet pieces had “it” written all over them. They didn’t quite feel new or untried (Balmain did something similar in past years and that house certainly wasn’t the first to try them either), but they did exude a certain bad-ass quality that quite frankly never goes out of style.
High-octane glamour is inarguably what he does best and there was no shortage of red carpet-ready gowns on display. Ciara would look killer in a bronzed high-neck sequin gown with a plunging neckline, while J.Lo could certainly carry off a white, tuxedo-inspired number with an exposed black fishnet leg.
The audaciousness and sauciness of the collection were anticipated, but like the old adage says: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It was all done to a T gracefully and Vauthier’s trademark attention to detail and expert tailoring did not disappoint. We know its first wearer will be a veritable tour de force no matter where she goes. We’re only waiting to see who and when.
