This week we have seen some gorgeous ladies posting up some pretty little photos of themselves! From singers to models, from snapchat to Facebook several celebs hit the social media platforms with some heavy hittas. Here are a few of our favorites spotted over the course of the week.
Ciara has been busy promoting her album Jackie and stopped by CBS Morning Show and posed it out with Gayle King. It does not take much to make this natural beauty look glamorous, but that red lip color is simply killer!
There is some much to love about this pic! Alicia Keys looks like an exotic queen with her bold pop of color lipstick and full eyelashes. Always on trend we also got a kick out of her septum nose ring.
Ashanti decided to break Snapchat instead of the internet when she posted this little number. Although looking quite natural in the photo can we get an Amen for those full eyebrows? Work it Ashanti!
Ugh… even while chilling at the zoo Joan Smalls looks like she belongs on somebody’s cover or in an editorial! Joan snapped a quick Lemur picture while at the Taronga Zoo and looked like the most chic one of the pack with her lush purple lip shade.

Can you say meow? Bring the boys to your yard with long curly hair.
Purple reign, purple reignnnnn! Like what we did there? LOL Excite the hair senses with this extremely bold tint!
Back to the asymetrical bob because it’s just bangin’! Go sleek by keeping the look smooth with a very blunt cut.
Look like the queen you are by fashioning your strands into a halo crown braid.
Simplicity is still bomb, turn heads and look luxuriously elegant with a low ponytail.
These aren’t your twin braids from elementary school, give the look a modern twist by creating fish tail braids.
Volume with retro vibes are fun as well as flirty and gives the most simple style more depth.
Combine hairstyles together in order to achieve one unique look. We love this combination of braids with a long, flowing ponytail.
Jourdan is not afraid of a bottle of hair dye and if hair color makes you see stars then be boisterous and try out bluish gray.
Gawgous….just GAWgous! Straight locks with big shine will make any outfit dazzle.
We will be forever obsessed with braids and love Dunn’s cornrows with tremendous length.
