Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!
When one person has an amazing fashion moment it’s noteworthy. However, when a couple can burn up the red carpet they basically become style legends! Tonight at the Espys it was a designer’s heaven among the booed up celebs. Therefore, here is our Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!
Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See
It may be a night about sports but the Espys 2016 couture could not be ignored! We spotted The Wilsons and also The Currys serving up major squad goals on the red carpet. So then, let’s begin with those love birds first.
The Currys looked radiant and we loved that they didn’t do the whole, “Hey, we’re a couple so let’s basically wear the same thing!” They demonstrated their individual style and taste. For instance, Ayesha Curry stunned in a Theia Couture burgundy gown. She did a matchy-matchy makeup look bringing her lip color and dress into perfect harmony. Moreover, Steph Curry stepped out in a bold custom Alba suit. His blue coat had us feeling some type of way.
Furthermore, the couple as a whole chose shades that complimented their skin tone. It’s nice to see them taking risks and playing with color. It definitely paid off!
Oh snap, wait a minute! Is that The Wilsons we see all up in it? Russell Wilson and his spanking new wife Ciara looked fantastic!
Now for many months they have slayed one red carpet event after the other. Actually they have been killing it ever since they started dating. So then, we weren’t surprised to see them looking like a bag of money.
Ciara has been killing it in Roberto Cavalli so she was like, “Well, if it’s not broken.” CiCi wore another Roberto Cavalli design in an alluring pink shade. Russell attended the Espys 2016 event in a well-tailored Tom Ford Suit.
Black on Black
There were a few black on black fashion moments tonight. One actually happened during the show on stage. Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Chris Paul and Mr. Wade rocked head-to-toe noire ensembles. They were making a statement in regards to gun violence and their attire was very appropriate as well as fitting.
Nevertheless, since those handsome four guys aren’t together let’s get back to the couples. Gabrielle Union and her man Dwyane Wade hit the Espys 2016 carpet before the show. Wade shut it down in a blue with black trim Givenchy suit. Union went all black as she strutted her stuff in an August Getty Atelier gown.

Fashion Wars The Return of Big Hoop Earrings
Giorgio Armani Fall/Winter 2016
They’re humongous and can’t be missed. Big hoop earrings are a great edition to an ensemble for any girl brave enough to rock them. If you enjoy being edgy without onlookers thinking you’re too over the top; then, big hoop earrings will suit you well.
Big hoop earrings were even spotted coming down the runway this year. For the 2016 autumn/winter collection Giorgio Armani models rocked humongous hoop earrings. Fabulousity unlocked!
Furthermore, another great aspect about big hoop earrings is that they can be dressed up or down. Worn during the day and night. Thus, making them a very versatile accessory.
Pair them with denim and a fun tee for a cute day time look. Or use them to add a little drama to a LBD (Little Black Dress) at night.

BeautyCon LA 2016 Fashion Recap
They came, they were beautiful and they conquered. Every year BeautyCon seems to just get better and better. Of course, it’s always a blast to see what’s going on in the world of beauty. However, the celeb spottings and their couture trends are also divine. Therefore, if unfortunately you couldn’t get your beauty on in Los Angeles we got you covered because here is our celebrity BeautyCon LA 2016 fashion recap!
BeautyCon LA 2016 Fashion Recap
So little time and so many looks to see. Let’s just hop right into it with a little lady who wore her own clothing like a Boss!
Christina Milian
Singer, entertainer and fashion queen. Christina Milian sizzled in a sexy denim dress from her We Are Pop Culture line. We Are Pop Culture had their own booth where attendees could shop and meet Milian.
Christina has always been one to stay close to her fan base. Her booth gave girls the best opportunity to meet and greet. Going back to Christina’s OOTD. No need for heels. Instead Milian showed off her tough kicks game. Who did she wear? Maybe this Jay Z lyric will give you a hint, “Jordan…Game 6.”
Draya Michele
Draya Michele had two amazing ensembles so let’s begin with the first one. Draya kicked off her BeautyCon LA 2016 fashion looking mean in green. She wore a skirt and bodysuit by House of CB. Moreover, she accessorized with a Manokhi choker and Ivanka Trump handbag.
Outfit number was just as chic. Draya’s stylish LBD (Little Black Dress) is by YSL. Her matching black heels are by Azzedine Alaia.
More Stylish Ladies
Tyra Banks
You wanna be on top? Tyra Banks came to BeautyCon LA 2016 complete with an entire squad! Her squad was actually the entire crew who were present at the BeautyCon LA 2016 brunch. What was discussed? The peeps dished on everything from making the world better to contouring. Hence, normal girl talk these days.
Inbetween smizes we couldn’t keep our eyes off Ty Ty’s fashions. Banks looked relaxed chic in jeans, a white tee and tailored jacket. Moreover, we loved the pop of color she added with her yellow handbag.
Karreuche Tran
We were so happy to spot our favorite pint-sized fashion-nista! Short girls unite! She may be petite, but her style is off the charts.
First of all, can we give all glory to those baby hairs and those abs! Seriously, those bad boys rival the great and mighty Janet Jackson six pack. Karreuche has been putting in work.
Keeping it 100, if we had a body like hers we’d show it off 24/7. That’s exactly what she did. She wore a choker, bandeau top with a printed skirt. Simple, sexy and total head turner.
Kelly Rowland
We were not surprised to see Kelly Rowland at BeautyCon LA 2016. We thought it was fitting especially after her announcement a few months ago regarding a makeup line. As we reported Kelly is developing a cosmetics brand after being influenced by Iman. Kelly plans to keep chocolate girls in mind during the entire design process.
Nevertheless, Kelly looked amazing! She stunned in a frilly, lace ensemble. The color complimented her skin tone beautifully.

Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere
Who you gonna call? If you have an issue with Casper then it’s the Ghostbusters. However, if it’s fashion related you better hit up a designer genius! That’s exactly what happened this week. When no one else would answer the call, actress Leslie Jones called Christian Siriano to help a sista out at the Ghostbusters premiere.
Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere
Leslie Jones overcame a girl’s worst nightmare. Having absolutely nothing to wear! The biggest premiere of Jones’ career and not one single designer would dress her.
Consequently, Leslie voiced the issue loud and clear. In the very movie Leslie stars in (Ghostbusters) people call on her character for help. Ironically, now it was Leslie’s turn to do the same. Would anyone answer before time ran out?
Christian Siriano Saves the Day!
Project Runway’s breakout star, Christian Siriano, is the hero in this dramatic and voguish story! On the show Christain became known for his speedy hands. He could quickly bang out an exquisite design that look liked it took days.
Nevertheless, that speed came in handy. Siriano dressed Jennifer Hudson for Ciara’s wedding this week while juggling his own wedding plans! Plus, he still needed to get Jones ready for the premiere. Yet, Christian got it all done and Leslie transformed into a sassy Lady in Red!
The Ensemble
That dress though! Christian Siriano shut it down with a red off the shoulder dress with high thigh split. The gown is sexy without being vulgar. Sophisticated, sultry, luxurious and flirty are a few more adjectives that came to mind.
This is a dress that girls and women would want to get their hands on. Furthermore, it proves that women of all shapes and sizes can look Hollywood glam! Thanks for showing the industry a thing or two Christian.
Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere – The Accessories
As any gal knows accessories can make or break a bomb fit. Leslie Jones’ stylist, Brian Mcphatter, hit the nail right on the head. Brian paired the Christian Siriano red design with Dannijo jewels and a Judith Lieber handbag. Jones heels were by Vince Camuto.
Want Leslie Jones chic accessories? They’re from Neiman Marcus! Head to a mall near you and get shopping!
Fan Reaction
We always love to see how others feel about fashion. Instagram, yes THE actual Instagram page was definitely feeling Leslie tonight! Instagram posted a moving picture of Jones via the Boomerang app.
Leslie is seen dancing in her gorgeous Christian Siriano gown. You could just tell she was loving life and feeling herself in her amazing look. In just 5 hours Instagram’s post had over 2 million views! Here are a few other thoughts from fans:
“Omg”
“Gorgeous!!!”
“Beautiful!!”
“Gorgeousness! Christian Siriano knows how to design dresses that flatter and accentuate best features.”
“Christian Siriano you did GOOD!!! Love that gown!”
“You look gorgeous Leslie!”
Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere – All Love
Fashion is an expression of self and personal preference. A person should feel great in clothes. Tonight anyone who laid eyes on Leslie Jones could tell she felt like a queen. How did she feel about Christian Siriano coming to her aid? She said,
“I want to thank my baby Christian Siriano for making me this fabulous gown and for my wonderful stylist for putting this look together!”
Great job by all involved in Leslie’s Hollywood premiere ensemble. She looked fabulous! Hopefully this is only the beginning in fashion. Maybe more designers will answer the call and make couture for the 90% of women in the world who are not a size 0-2.
Posted Notes: Christian Siriano is helping to change the fashion industry. This year he collaborated on a collection with Lane Bryant. Therefore, just another reason Leslie Jones looked drop dead gorgeous. Christian understands women with real bodies and knows exactly how to design for them. Go Christian!

Look Stylish All July 4th Weekend
Got plans? Make sure you are the ‘Belle of Ball’ and Look Stylish All July 4th Weekend! It’s simpler than you think with our quick tips and some fashionable items from Simply Styled.
The Look
Relaxed and casual is the name of the game this weekend. One fun trend is the over-sized look. Try pairing an over-sized tee-shirt with denim shorts, a skirt or pants. Moreover, if you’re an edgy lady rock it as a dress like superstar and fashion icon Rihanna!
The over-sized tee look is not only fun and chic, but extremely comfortable too! You’ll be able to party it up with friends and the fambam with ease. Plus, if you’re at the beach and don’t want to walk around in a bikini it’s a cinch to cover up your cute swimsuit.
Look Stylish All July 4th Weekend
Regardless of where you will be when celebrating the 4th, add a little red, a little blue, and some stripes to your wardrobe while you take in the firework show! For under $30, showcase your American pride with a variety of looks from the newly launched Simply Styled!
Mixing and Matching
Don’t think for a second that red, gray, tan, blue and white tinted fashions will limit your styling options. Solid colors are actually easier to pair. Be adventurous and go head-to-toe in one tint to change things up a bit.
For instance, all white is quite a cool and sophisticated look. If white couture isn’t your thing wear a denim on denim suit and look modern like Balmain’s recent SS 17 runway show. The possibilities are endless.
Style Tip
Scarves are very voguish and Simply Styled carries several fabulous ones! Use them as a cute accessory around your neck or transition them into a cute head wrap after a dip in the pool. Moreover, as bonfire time draws near and the sun goes down use one to gently warm your shoulders. Better yet just ask that stud you’ve been eyeing all day for his jacket!

Anti World Tour Goes to London
Rihanna stepped out tonight in full head-to-toe glamour as the Anti World Tour Goes to London! RiRi has been on a roll in the style department and stunning her fans in everything from swimwear to urban chic. One fact remains whether she’s at the pool or about to take the stage she kills it!
Just hours ago social media erupted as the Anti World Tour Goes To London frenzy got underway. Rihanna is in the UK to perform at the historic Wembley Stadium. Over 90,000 fans will soon be screaming their brains out to hits like Work, BBHMM and Love the Way You Lie.
Speaking of Love the Way You Lie, that is the song Rihanna recently shed some tears during while performing in Dublin. Fans were instantly very concerned and worried about Rihanna’s health. As of tonight, Rihanna looked healthy and vibrant. So no need to worry navy, Robin is okay!
Anti World Tour Goes To London On The Move
It may be a little wet in London, but tomorrow Rihanna will bring the heat as she takes the stage at Wembley. Some of the most iconic events and artists have graced the stage there. Who all have performed at Wembley Stadium? Events and artists such as: The London Olympics, The Rolling Stones, Live Aid, Queen, World Cup, Muse and Michael Jackson the King of Pop.
Nevertheless, Rihanna’s stay in the UK is not an one night stand. After her concert at Wembley Stadium her tour bus will roll out to a few other cities. She will also perform at Coventry Ricoh Arena and Hampden Park.
Rihanna was in good company upon her arrival into London Town. Her brother and BFF, Melissa “Mdollas1” Forde, were spotted heading to dinner with the songstress. They dined on Cantonese cuisine at Hakkasan. Upon arriving, Rihanna dazzled in front of paparazzi and their flashing cameras.
She wore an all black ensemble and carried her valuables in a cute Louis Vuitton handbag. We have been living for the oversized look Rihanna has been rocking with lately. The oversized tee and furry velvet boots were simply killer!
More Rihanna Headlines
Switching gears a little bit but still staying within the fashion world. New kicks by Miss Fenty are currently available. Well, sort of new in a way.
The fan favorite Fenty x Puma trainers are now available in Grey. The silvery tone gives the sneakers a super sleek look and feel. To many fans the release is a true relief. Especially, since the trainers continue to sell out at record pace.
Last bit of Rihanna news that we will hit today is the new song collaboration between our Badgal and Calvin Harris. The dance hit helped achieve more Billboard charts history for both artists. This Is What You Came For debuted at No.1 on the Dance/Electronic chart and at No.9 for the Hot 100 chart.
Rihanna Making History
This Is What You Came For is Rihanna’s 28th top 10 smash and Calvin Harris’ fourth. This means that Rihanna is now tied with legend, Stevie Wonder. Therefore, Rihanna continues to flex her music icon status and do it across multiple charts.
Nonetheless, this raises a few questions in light of the Anti World Tour Goes to London show. It is not uncommon for special guests to make an appearance during a big show. Will Calvin Harris suddenly appear to perform “This” with Rihanna? Or will Drake cross the pond to “Work” it with Fenty?
Calvin Harris taking selfies with fan
Well, in a few hours all will be revealed. We can’t wait and we are curious if Rihanna will take home a BET Award this Sunday. BET Network came under fire for stating on Twitter that the Anti album was better than Beyonce’s Lemonade album. More on that later and let’s just enjoy Rihanna’s voguish fashion for now!
