Rihanna roamed the streets of Stockholm, Sweden with her friends in a Vetements Spring 2016 $1,025 Yellow Ruffle Dress:

The yellow ruffle dress has a distinctive over-sized fit with elongated sleeves and frilled trims that resemble classic prairie dresses.

Rihanna rocked a large black Sherling coat and black boots.

You can purchase her look here for $1025.

Not one of my favorite looks from Rih.  I say hmm…

What do you think of her look?

While the rest of the world is focused on bright colors, Chanel brought us back to Parisian couture in its finest fashion.Tweed, structured shoulders and soft palettes graced the runway, with Renaissance Victorian-era frocks and cuts making a resurgence.  Drafted to take place inside a replica of the Chanel Ateliers, embellished clothing still took on an air of sophistication, with strong structuring and floral motifs cascading from embroidered vestments to hemlines and lapels.A strong deviation of Chanel’s previous Cuban excursion collection, Lagerfield returned to Parisian roots and executed looks of simplified elegance and pose.

Of course ateliers such as Chanel set the blueprint for Haute couture. What do you think of the Chanel collection?

Fourth of July happenings abounded across the nation and around the world.
From pool parties to yachting around Italy, celebs were all over celebrating America’s independence.  But which of your favorites brought the fireworks with their style offerings?  Hmm… let’s take a look!

Chrissy Teigen was all smiles posing for pictures with hubby, John Legend, and Emily Ratajkowski during the Revolve in the Hamptons 4th of July party.  She wore a $144 Tularosa ‘Aiken’ off-the-shoulder top with denim cut offs while Emily wore Privacy Please’s ‘Hoge’ top and long blue jeans.  John kept the party going in his Gucci printed shirt and shorts.  Perfect looks for summer ready fun!

 Mariah Carey celebrated as well, with fiancé James Packer while yachting around the island of Capri.  The Elusive Chanteuse sipped on wine while wearing a cleavage bearing red dress.  Hmm… I’m not a fan of the pantyhose, especially since they’re surrounded by water.  Other than that, carry on, darlings!

 Taylor Swift (pictured with her arm in the air) and her ever evolving girl squad snapped a pic during fireworks.  Uzo Aduba, Blake Lively, Cara Delevigne and Gigi Hadid all shared in the excitement, most of them wearing onesies emblazoned with the American flag.  Fun times!  One question, though?  Where’s Tom Hiddleston?  Hmm… maybe he’s the photographer.

 Also in Capri, model and actress Selita Ebanks was makeup and care free and stunning while boating through the Blue Caves, wishing all of her followers a “Happy 4th.”  She effortlessly slayed during her vacation in this $405 Agent Provocateur ‘Dakotta’ red swimsuit, thus becoming the firework.  Hot!

 Sofia Vergara played host during her Fourth of July party, with lots of pastries and sangria for her guests.  The actress kept things simple in a white off-the-shoulder top and long red skirt.  Cute look!  Hopefully, there’s an invite for us next year.  The eats looked amazing!

Legs were on the menu for some of the Rich Kids of Beverly Hills.  Dorothy Wang sported braided hair with her $105 House of CB ‘Indochine’ blush lace up one-piece and $1,145 Valentino ‘Rockstud’ gladiator sandals.  EJ Johnson was clad in a $1,775 Balmain resort 2016 black plunging lace up playsuit.  And Morgan Stewart-Fitzpatrick donned red sunnies, denim cut-offs and lightweight Touché LA x Morgan Stewart white ‘Brendan’ bomber jacket.  Friends that slay together, stay together.

Artist and blogger Tk Wonder celebrated her Independence Day in a colorful cover-up from Asos, Public Desire sneakers and signature voluminous mane.  Love this look!

 Tk Wonder’s twin sister, Cipriana Quann also opted for tons of color with her Mara Hoffman swimsuit.  Can these ladies do any wrong?

Well, that’s it for now!  Hope you all had an amazing 4th of July!  Who rocked your favorite Fourth of July looks this year?

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday, folks!
Am I alone in thinking the day after a holiday should be a holiday?!? Woo!
At any rate, yesterday, I celebrated the 4th of July with Revolve, who threw a fabulous party in the Hamptons, hosted by Chrissy Teigen.

Ms. Teigen was too busy to take pictures, though we did capture the chic style of the many lovely attendees.
Take a look:

Friends @ImaniImani and @ChianaJ looked gorgeous in off white.

Marina Ingvarsson looked photoshoot ready in a cute jumpsuit, pom pom decorated straw bag, and striped headband.

@Jillionaire was taking a phone call, but wasn’t too busy to pose in printed separates.

Chic couple @Long_Legged_Life and @International_Ade looked patriotic in blue and white tones.

@HeatherNElliott had one of my favorite looks of the day in a ribbed white dress. striped duster, and Chanel flats.

Lauren traveled all the way from Atlanta to take in the festivities! She kept it cute in an olive green jumpsuit.

It got chilly at night! @CookieDubois kept warm in a leather jacket, placed over a chic cocktail dress.

@LovelyPepa came to slay in a gorgeous white dress. She’s hot!

This young man looked preppy in a Boast Clothing crewneck. I think I need that…

Party Promoter Legendary Damon looked dapper in a three piece, red, white, and blue infused short suit. I just love him!

DJ @Maad_Moiselle smiled in Philosophy stripes and Missguided platforms.

Nelly Moudime was spot on in a red dress, American flag printed denim jacket, and a gorgeous Afro. Hot!

@ErinMulcahy and @Jennareyy kept it easy and breezy in sheer pieces and short hems.

Lastly, this attendee felt the 4th of July spirit! She struck a disco fever pose in a printed crop top and matching shorts. Cute!

As for me, I rocked a DSquared2 plaid shirt, Topshop shorts, and Prada sandals that got woefully dirty in the grass:/
After we took pix, we enjoyed a Bomb performance by Jeremih:

It was lots of fun and I’m inspired! I want Fashion Bomb Daily to have a Hamptons party next year! Who’s in?!?

A handful of brands have now switched the locations of their tried and true fashion shows to a different fashion capital: whether it be for a special occasion or a much-needed change of scenery. The latest to jump on that bandwagon is Akris which will show its Spring 2017 show at NYFW—a departure from its usual showing in Paris:

The change is taking place for a very good and momentous reason, as Akris’s Creative Director Albert Kriemler is receiving the Couture Council Award for Artistry in Fashion—to be celebrated at the Couture Council Luncheon, which traditionally marks the start of Fall Fashion Week in NYC.

Of the momentous occasion, Kriemler said, “The Akris défilé at New York Fashion Week is a tribute to the city and the country which helped us to become who we are now. And it is a homage to the Couture Council and The Museum at FIT and its curatorial and educational vision.”

The Couture Council Luncheon will take place on September 7 with Akris’s show to follow on September 9.
