From reality television to major mag superstar! Draya Michele, who is one of the all time fan favorites of the Basketball Wives series has a new jaw-dropping editorial about to hit stands. As a result, Miss Draya is the perfect choice for this week’s Fierce Friday! Check out the slayage that is Draya Michele Vogue Brazil editorial.

Fierce Friday: Draya Michele Vogue Brazil Editorial

One eye-popping look from Draya’s editorial that has more heat than Dwyane Wade is a gorgeous gold sequin ensemble by OTT. The effect was effortless glam!

OTT is an one stop shop for stylish celebrities. Fabulous OTT pieces have found their way onto Skai Jackson, Jhene Aiko, Jessica White, Chandler Kinney and Fantasia. A little couture fun fact to file away for all of you fashionistas.

Nevertheless, what else did we love about the golden look? The style drama was taken to even higher levels due to her accessories. Draya rocked a fresh off the runway trend for Spring 2017. Large pronounced earrings are going to be HUGE (no pun intended) next year. Therefore, go ahead and start adding big hoops, chandelier and tassel earrings to your wardrobe.

Beauty Notes: Flawless skin accompanied by precision eyeliner, full brows and a pop of color via rouge lips. Red lipstick is a simple way to add more seduction to your makeup look. Moreover, the red lip is a classic which means wearing it will always look voguish.

But There’s More…

In a second look Draya rocks a beautiful set of garments by Atelier Lethicia. The top and skirt combination are elegantly sassy. Furthermore Michele’s physique is stunningly highlighted as she confidently shows off toned abs and gams.

Check out our exclusive look at more shots from the Vogue Brazil editorial starring Draya Michele below.

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 15, 2016September 15, 2016Leave a Comment

As if we needed anymore reasons to become even bigger fans of designer Christian Siriano! The famed Project Runway alumni continues to push boundaries and break the fashion mold. So far this year, real women with real curves have been finally getting the attention they deserve kicking off with the cover of Sports Illustrated. Now it’s fashion week’s turn and Siriano hit the industry with a major exclamation point. The NYFW Christian Siriano show features 5 plus size models!

Christian Siriano NYFW Show Features 5 Plus Size Models!

Take note fashion industry, orange is the new black and so are gorgeous curves. More on the orange reference later (wink, wink). For years, runway shows have featured one body type and one body type alone. At least 5’9 and no wider than a clothes hanger.

While these shows are lovely and entertaining one glaring fact remains… most women just don’t fit that category or build. Therefore, clothing that’s stylish often stops at size 10 if you’re lucky.

While many brands have stepped up to the plate to create clothing that’s not just either one big tent (i.e. Moo-Moo dress) or sadly plain and generic. Let’s face there’s plenty of room for improvement as well as more options. Furthermore, runway fashion is fun, cool and modern. Women of all sizes want to look that way. Yet, major designers unfortunately forget about the rest of us.

NYFW 2016

Nevertheless, that’s why the Christian Siriano NYFW show features 5 plus size models headline is such a big deal. Siriano himself said he feels that one day seeing curvy models during runway shows will be the norm. Can we get an amen? (LOL) Such an outcome would mean that more fashion houses will jump on board with showcasing real bodies as well.

Change is never easy but it always takes willing pioneers. For instance, if it wasn’t for the tireless efforts of Donyale Luna, Iman, Beverly Johnson and Naomi Campbell there wouldn’t be as much diversity in the modeling industry as we see now. Therefore, it is possible for the a major couture overhaul to occur.

The Innovative Pioneer

Christian Siriano is the perfect designer to get the ball rolling. Who of us can forget the magic he created for actress Leslie Jones? Especially, since she had to publicly mention that no designer wanted to dress her for the biggest moment of her career.

Siriano saved the day by designing a gorgeous red dress for Leslie to wear to her Ghostbusters movie premiere. Of course the gown was killer because heck, it was a Siriano design. However, it was also the fact that he crafted a dress that showed off her best assets. Proving you don’t have to be as thin as a whisper to look amazing on the red carpet or in clothes in general. It just takes a designer willing to go off the cuff or in this case off the mannequin.

Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign

Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

What can we say, this campaign is just sick! The punk style has gone under the fashion knife on several occasions but the true essence of the look remains the same. An aspect of punk couture we have always favored is that some use it to make an awesome statement. From anti-materialism to not being considered stereotypical punk clothing has been a truly cool protest against mainstream culture. With that said, designer Viktor Luna is throwing his hat into the punk mix this season. See his vision by checking out the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign!

Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign

Plaid, spikes, leather, metallics and fur. What’s not to like? Fashion is a form of self expression and should therefore never be boring. Moreover, Luna’s campaign is the farthest thing from being considered characterless.

Its chic, fun and a nice departure from the usual. Luna’s fine tailoring and construction has always enthralled us and he does not disappoint with this collection. Furthermore, the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign showcases several eye-catching pieces including a harness.

Yes, you read that correct Viktor designed a Turbo Leather Harness. Instantly, we thought 2036 prosthetics? Very cool work Luna and looking forward to seeing more in the future!

OBSESSION: NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses

Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

There was so much to love about Vera Wang’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The tailoring was off the charts. The designs read fierce and chic. Nevertheless, one pair of sunnies had us in love at first glance. Today’s obsession, the NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses.

OBSESSION: NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses

Ugh, could Vera Wang just hand us an oxygen mask because she is giving us life! These glasses just simply stood out. Even coming down the runway your eyes just instantly dart to them.

The magnetic pull to these shades only increased once we noticed they come in multiple tints. The straight up black ones has us craving a leather jacket and cigarette. Hence, they’re edgy as all get out.

Nevertheless, the silver-tone version gave us futuristic vibes but with a retro grunge twist. However, you slice and dice these NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame sunglasses are a must-have. We spent the night hunting them down till we found them on Farfetch! These chic babies retail for $405 and can be shopped now. Oh! First time ordering on Farfetch.com?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 6, 2016September 6, 2016Leave a Comment

How did you spend your Labor Day Weekend? Nicki Minaj chose to heat things up in Sin City. The sassy hip hop artist was spotted in Las Vegas in sexy designer duds. Scroll on dolls, we breakdown Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit and the rest of her hot OOTD!

Spotted: Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit

Okay Nicki baby we see you girl! Miss Minaj posed it out for the cameras in a La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit which retails for $3,844. The detailing of the jumpsuit showed off Nicki’s sought after physique and cough, girls (LOL).

The cute jumpsuit also includes cut-outs that trace the shapely outline of the lady wearing it. We love this aspect because it gives the illusion of a smaller form. Therefore, if you are packing like a girl from a Sir Mix A Lot music video then this fashion will give you a more slimming effect instantly. It is just like if you were to wear stripes vertically instead of horizontally. Here’s a closer look at her La Perla jumpsuit:

The lingerie inspired trend continues to gain speed among the rich and famous. You may be reminded of Amber Rose’s Tom Ford slash La Perla VMAs look. Nevertheless, we digress.

Minaj finished off her ensemble with nude tinted heels and a Chanel handbag. Her jewelry stayed within the gold family. Accessories included a watch, rings and chain link bracelet.

Hair Notes: Nicki Minaj rocked some serious hair down-to-there with her La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit. Moreover, she kept her tresses straight and sleek. The overall combination reads seductive and foxy chic.

A tattoo artist revealed that Rihanna and Drake officially were rocking matching ink. Nevertheless, now it looks as though Rihanna is using fashion to showcase her feelings. A coat in the shape of a heart, altogether now, “Awww!”

Rihanna Slays YSL Heart Shaped Fur Coat

We are constantly asked just how much celebs spend on their wardrobe. In this case Rihanna’s look was over $15,000! Rihanna’s now infamous YSL red fox heart shaped coat retails for $15k.

Dropping down to her sassy RiRi heels we have to tack on some more Benjamins. Rih’s Dsquared Fall 2015 ‘RiRi’ black leather strappy sandals are just sigh of 1k. Get your hands on a pair for $965.

It’s not easy work looking like a diva day in and day out. Moreover, it takes a nice size wallet to get fun designer duds. Nevertheless, what do you think of Rihanna’s NYC streetstyle look?
