Ask and Tell: Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel Dress

Arianne February 15, 2019February 15, 2019

The Item: Actress Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel sparkling fringe dress. The screen siren was spotted in her eye-popping look while in attendance for an after Grammy party.

You Asked: 1966 please help! I have been commenting on the Nichole Lynel page and no one is answering. I am trying to get some details regarding Lauren London’s dress. Can we buy it or not?

Ask and Tell: Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel Dress

The Verdict: Sorry guys, but the news on this look is currently a little stylishly sketch. While there is plenty of fashion evidence that this design does in fact exist. Now being spotted on the gorgeous Lauren London; however, to be honest we have not seen this head-turning design since the NL’s fab runway show.

We scoured the brand’s site and all of our detective work turned up zilch. Therefore, our conclusion is that Nichole has the look ready to go; it’s just not currently “in production.”

Nevertheless, now that much interest has been churned up thanks to London; perhaps NL will go ahead and make the look available for purchase. We believe it would sell extremely well thanks to its dazzling one-shoulder and fringe detailing. The perfect gown for a voguish night on the town. Nonetheless, as of now we will have to wait to see if this dress becomes apart of the official Nichole Lynel lineup.

Cardi B and Bruno Mars Please Me Enters Old School R&B Realm

ArianneUpdated on February 19, 2019February 15, 2019

The Cardi B and Bruno Mars Promise Me release is officially the jam that will have a whole new crop of babies born by November! Like for real, this song is definitely and ode to the era of R&B that had the masses screaming to their radios; and begging their baby to give them one more chance.

Cardi B and Bruno Mars Promise Me Enters Old School R&B Realm

Already, Please Me is going down in the music books. It is now the first song by a female rapper to reach number one on U.S. iTunes for 2019. Also, it sold 18,000 pure digital sales in its first 12 hours of release; making it a real contender to appear and debut in the Billboard Hot 100 top 5. Moreover, something tells us this is only beginning for Promise Me.

This is the second meet up for Cardi and Bruno on a hit record. Their first “Finesse” was an instant success. Finesse is the epitome of house parties with a mix of fun upbeat early 90’s vibes.

Since Bruno and Cardi went old school on Finesse; then there really is no surprise that the two would visit that arena for their latest collaboration. Nevertheless, as soon as Please Me dropped, Twitter ERUPTED. Fan reaction was all basically positive with many saying it is already the best song of 2019 so far.

Cardi B and Bruno Mars Promise Me Enters Old School R&B Realm (Continued)

Here are some fan reactions we picked through social media:

“Bruno Mars and Cardi B NEED to release a full album together.”

“I want a version with just Bruno lol.”

“THIS SONG IS SO FIRE.”

“Bruno did that!”

“NICE!!! Sounds old school. They collabe VERY WELL TOGETHER!! Bruno’s vocal though.”

“The melody is definitely Jodeci, I’m glad Cardi game them a shout out!”

“Bruno always brings that good ole 90’s RnB vibe.”

“I can’t wait to hear the clean version they can play on the radio. I think I will love it then.”

“Adding to my mix. Love this song!”

“I think we all agree that Finesse was a much better song and honestly Bruno’s voice saves this song cause without it the song would fall kinda flat.”

“Whew Lawd.”

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

Arianne February 6, 2019February 6, 2019

She’s style, she is grace, she’s a cover girl oh hey! Supermodel IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 edition and she is looking as fabulous as ever. In the article, InStyle discusses her iconic career and more!

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

How did IMAN come to have such an amazing career in the tough and gruff modeling and fashion industries? Well, the model is discussing just that to InStyle. Regarding the piece and IMAN’s gorgeous visuals, the magazine says,

“Supreme. For our second March subscriber cover, IMAN wore this t-shirt as an homage to her stature as an unrivaled deity of the modeling world; a trailblazing cosmetics entrepreneur; and a long-standing advocate for women. (Although it was her idea for it to be wet!).

Her career has spanned four decades. And although she retired from the runways in 1989; she continues to outpace some of her youngest peers both in relevancy and ad pages. Most recently doing campaigns for Valentino and Balmain.

‘My plan is just loose. It’s kind of weird, because I’ve worked all my life, from when I was 14 years old… I’ve stumbled into things; or things found me. So now I’m at a stage where i’ll just see what happens.’

Read more of Eric Wilson’s profile of the supermodel at [our website online].”

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue

So really, how did the wet tee shirt thing come about? It’s such a sexy move and InStyle’s Fashion News Director, Eric Wilson had the full scoop! Wilson reveals,

“About that time I had to ask IMAN why she decided to pose in a wet T-shirt for the cover of InStyle. ‘I suggested it,’ she told me. ‘I’m 63 — why would I have a Supreme T-shirt? It’s just a boring T-shirt. It’s too young and too hip.

So (on the set) I said, jokingly, ‘Why don’t we get it wet?’ And as I said it, everybody said, ‘Yeah!’ I was like, “F&%&, now I have to deliver.'”

Sounds juicy. Also, Eric says there is more to the story. So get the details on that as well as the rest of interview at www.instyle.com/celebrity/iman-march-feature.
