“Today is the 20th anniversary of Why Do Fools Fall In Love! Sometimes you work on a movie, and sometimes that movie introduces you to someone that makes you a better person for it. Larenz Tate? You’ll ALWAYS be my Too Fine Tuesady – thank you for being the ultimate Ride or Die!

So much love to my sister wives Lela Rochon and Vivica A. Fox – for the record, y’all? I’m Mrs. Frankie Lymon!”

“One of the most challenging roles of my career. Three of the most incredible leading ladies any leading man could wish for. Fearless, compassionate and phenomenal … they all are. Thank you Halle Berry, Lela Rochon and Vivica A. Fox; I am forever, a fool in love.”

-Larenz Tate

“WOWZERS! Can’t believe its been 20 years ago that our classic film, Why Do Fools Fall In Love came out! What an amazing cast of Larenz Tate, Lela Rochon, and Halle Berry. This scene I had with FAB Halle Berry had no dialogue but said EVERYTHING!

-Vivica A. Fox

Ask and Tell: Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Ensemble

ArianneUpdated on August 28, 2018August 28, 2018

The Item: Athlete and fashion designer, Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Couture Ensemble. Serena fashionably made waves on the court during her match with Magda Linette.

You Asked: I have been so upset ever since I heard about the whole cat suit ban thing. I think it is awful that they still will not just let Serena be. So of course I was curious to see what she might wear. Happy she is winning and her outfit is very cool. Can you please tell me who is the designer of it?

Ask and Tell: Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Ensemble

The Verdict: Thank you for your message and we can completely understand your frustration over the black bodysuit. Which actually was designed to help prevent blood clots, a situation that almost killed her after giving birth to her daughter. Nevertheless, Nike and Off White came together in order to create another iconic look for the tennis superstar.

In a collaborative effort, Nike and Off White designed a ballet asymmetrical ballet dress, leather jacket as well as a matching AKA QUEEN tennis bag. That bag is already getting tons of hits alone. Once and if these two brands decide to release it to the public for purchase we are sure it will sell out in record fashion.

ArianneUpdated on August 28, 2018August 28, 2018

From the moment it hit, Drake’s God’s Plan music video IMMEDIATELY made waves. The concept, the vibe and the feel good message leaves a lasting impression for anyone who lays eyes on it. Which is why it comes as no surprise that visionary, Karena Evans Wins Best Director for God’s Plan Video at this year’s iHeart Radio MMVAS.

God’s Plan, follows hip hop artist, Drake, as he does a ton of good deeds. Surprising unsuspecting people with help in a time when most people only turn a blind eye. In a statement regarding her hard-earned win for the music video, Karena states,

“I will never take for granted the fact that every day I get to wake up with the privilege of telling stories in one form or another. Thank you for granting me that Drake. My whole fam at POPP ROK and every single artist or creative I’ve worked with so far.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to sum it up. Yesterday I took home an MMVA for ‘Best Director’ for Drake’s God’s Plan; and today I woke up more motivated than ever. To work even harder to truly be able to deserve that title.”

Such humility! Furthermore, Evans also fashionably strutted herself down the iHeart Radio red carpet in true celebrity style. What did the Best Director winner stun in? Her stylist, Jess Mori, (who by the way has one of the best bios on Instagram which reads, “Bury me in nice shoes”); placed her client in a sexy LBD. Karena’s “little black dress” is from fashion label, Manning Cartel. Evans finished her look with a plethora of accessories and jewels from: Judith Leiber, Kim Mee Hye, BIKO and Cuchara.

After her big win, Karena made sure to share the moment and her fashion statement with her fans. In a caption she says, “I’m sorry for all the pics of me, but I’ve been given so many chances to dress up!”

Fashion IS art. For their September 2018 edition Harpers Bazaar Pays Homage to Vladmir Tretchikoff; a Russian visionary who’s dazzling artwork still captivates and mesmerizes decades later.

Harpers Bazaar Pays Homage to Vladmir Tretchikoff Starring Maria Borges

Vladimir’s artistry is well-known for it’s vibrancy, vividness; and of course alluring beauty. Tretchikoff’s stunning array of portraits at times captured the essence and spirit of women from across Africa as well as Asia. Another draw to his work is that he always seemed to make the woman in his paintings ooze with regal flair.

The Female Gaze magazine editorial recreates several famous Tretchikoff pieces including: Balinese Girl, Zulu Girl and Chinese Girl (1952). Maria Borges is the muse for the Balinese as well as Zulu masterpieces.

Fashion Notes: For the recreation of Balinese Girl, Maria Borges wears a stunning headwrap garment that is a design of Eric Javits. Javits is the designer behind several infamous celebrity headpieces and hats. Including those worn by Beyoncé, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Serena Williams, Chanel Iman and Mary J. Blige. He is also the ingenious designer behind Naomi Campbell’s golden Balinese headpiece seen at the amfAR event.

ArianneUpdated on August 23, 2018August 22, 2018

From Marvel to Westworld, Tessa Thompson’s immense talent as well as beauty has been shot all around the globe. Now the deliciously mysterious actress is a cover girl for August/September. Tessa Thompson covers The Cut Fall Fashion 2018 issue and she is finally spilling the details on EVERYTHING.

Beautiful Black Women: Tessa Thompson Covers The Cut Fall Fashion 2018 Issue

Yes, you will see plenty of fabulous fall fashion in The Cut’s new journal; however, the real meat and potatoes lies in their cover story. What do they talk about with Thompson? The Cut let’s us in on the goods by revealing,

“‘The internet makes everything a ‘thing.’ ‘ Tessa Mae Thompson is our Fall Fashion cover star. The enigmatic actress opens up about her high school playist; catfishing people with her friends; and yes, Janelle Monae. Plus, the most voluminous fall clothes.

The Tessa Thompson discourse lately has been loud and demanding. But the interest in her reached a frenzy when she appeared in Janelle Monae’s video, ‘Pynk.’ She told us, ‘The truth is Janelle and I are both in a space where we’re trying to push boundaries in terms of the idea of what space a woman of color can occupy.'”

Beautiful Black Women: Tessa Thompson Covers The Cut Fall Fashion 2018 Issue (Continued)

Need a date? Well, if you’re Tessa Thompson the last place to look for one would be online. In the latest edition of The Cut Tessa reveals why she admires Greta Garbo, and why she’s skeptical of online dating. In an excerpt from her exclusive with the magazine she states,

“‘I currently don’t have time to date. Also, because dating right now requires that somebody gets on a plane. Which is fine, but that’s a lot to ask when you’re first… It’s a lot of expectation.’

She’s skeptical of online dating; though she admits to once catfishing people with her friends on a dating app; largely as a social experiment. ‘It didn’t go well. We had some passive-aggressive and some just like aggressive messages, being, like, ‘You’re not real!’ And I was like, ‘And you’re right, I’m not!’ Delete.'”

So as you can see, even celebs are adjusting to the new world and whirl of dating. Nonetheless, catch Thompson’s full interview as well as The Cut’s Fall Fashion preview in their spanking new issue out now.
