Princess hair! Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for the Cannes 2017 Film Festival is elegant, sleek and tantalizing sophisticated. If you are looking for formal hair inspiration you just found it!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie attended the ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer” red carpet event. Her luxurious blue floor length gown is by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who has been a very popular choice this year at Cannes.

Sanders’ strands were pulled back into a beautiful braided bun. If recreating this look at home remember that the smoother you can get your hair in the front to lay, the more dramatic the braided chignon will look. Get tresses to submit by smoothing them with a pomade, gel (alcohol free) or edge control product. Next, spritz hairs with a light holding spray in order to make the hairstyle remain in place. Lastly, mist the style with a hair oil to give this hair look luminous sheen that will pop in any photo!

Beauty Notes: Jasmine’s hair is exquisite but we have to holler YASSS over her makeup look as well! L’Oreal makeup kindly shared the details on how Sanders look came together. The brand says that Jasmine’s makeup is all about keeping it natural. The “au natural” vibe is coming back en vogue in full force.

Therefore, to stay on trend for the season it is not about heavy contour. Just good old enhancement of your natural features. So want to give Jasmine’s look a spin? Here is the L’Oreal product cheat sheet!

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

Arianne Suggs May 25, 2017May 25, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: The Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket worn by singer and television judge Alicia Keys during The Voice finale.

You asked: Not sure if you got my other message. There are two different things I am looking for. But the first one is a black jacket I saw on Alicia Keys. In the photo I saw it’s sleeves were BIG. Like eighties big and I love it! Who makes that? Thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

The Verdict: Thanks for writing us love and we know exactly what jacket you are talking about! The jacket made a big splash during the live finale of The Voice which is episode 1219A. Alicia pulls out all the stops in the episode by not just sitting in the judge’s chair, but also performing. She croons and belts out ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ with Chris Blue.

Nevertheless, Alicia’s fashion was as beautiful as her melodic voice. The very stylish jacket in question is a design by Ulyana Sergeenko. The black Ulyana Sergeenko jacket features an extremely sexy plunge neckline before it closes near the waistline. Moreover, as mentioned it also incorporates very dramatic sleeves as well as a peplum style fit. The cap sleeves help to make Alicia Key’s overall ensemble even more diva. While the peplum’s shape helps to balance the hips and create a very sleek and chic silhouette.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 23, 2017May 23, 2017Leave a Comment

Are you a huge Nicki Minaj fan? Well, today your queen shall be gracing your television. Catch Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show today to see her in all of her fabulousness and holding a giant butt check (we will explain that). Nevertheless, if you can’t get to a TV in time we have a quick recap of what is all going down. Here’s our warning now, especially all of you on the west coast: expect spoilers!

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Okay, so remember when Nicki was on Twitter paying tuitions? A very kind gesture that helped out a ton of hard-working students. Well it looks like Nicki is still inspired by her previous act of paying it forward.

On The Ellen Show Nicki Minaj continued sharing her generosity. Ellen via social media talked all about this stating,

“Did you see The Ellen Show today? So grateful for the donation she made via Shutterfly for more kids to go to college! 25 thousand dollars! Love her!

Nicki told me she wants to start a foundation to help pay for kids’ tuition. I can get behind that.”

Isn’t all of this great ladies?! 2017 is proving to be the year of helping young people build confidence and succeed. From black women like Octavia Spencer buying out theaters so that youths and individuals in black communities could take in the inspiring story of Hidden Figures. To Beyonce starting a scholarship program. Stars are giving back today in order to help shape a better tomorrow. Thank you Nicki for your kindness and we hope to see this trend continue in the future!

Fashion Notes: Minaj is always looking like a high-end designer’s muse. Today she rocked a corset as well as jacket by Alexander McQueen. Vintage skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier and some bad muh- (shut yo mouth!) heels by Tom Ford.

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

If you were to look up the word stunning in the dictionary most likely you would see Yara Shahidi’s picture right next to the definition. The busy beauty is currently doing press at ABC Upfronts. Yara stepped out in chic ensemble from the Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 collection.

Moreover, at ABC Upfronts it was confirmed that Shahidi’s spin-off of the wildly successful Black-ish is a definite go. College-ish will premiere in early 2018 on Freeform network. So far at least 13 episodes are on deck to air.

Yara’s show takes it’s influence from the popular retro television series, A Different World which starred Zoe Kravitz’s mama Lisa Bonet. College-ish will follow Shahidi’s breakout character, Zoey Johnson as she goes to college and comes to the realization that not everything will be perfect. Especially, now that she’s left the nest.

Well College-ish certainly sounds like a show that no one will want to miss. Furthermore, Yara’s fashion seen today could not be missed either! She paired her stripped top from the Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 collection with black pants and strappy heels. From every angle Yara Shahidi was killing it.

Actor Bernard David Jones got the chance to snap a quick pic with fashionable Yara. In reference to their moment together Jones said, “I had the great pleasure of spending time talking to this super cool, down to earth, talented and crazy intelligent beauty Yara Shahidi! She’s my channel mate! I can’t wait to see College-ish on ABC Freeform. [Wishing her] good luck at Harvard!”

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

HAWT! Raise your hand if you are in need of some swimwear sure to bring onlookers to their knees? Fashion Brand Milano di Rouge is bringing the heat and sexy back for the summer season. Their Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit is one seductive masterpiece!

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Why do we love the Taylor swimsuit? For one, sometimes its just nice to switch the swimwear game up. In a world full of barely there two pieces, its a welcome departure to find an one piece that is just as alluring.

Also, the color palette for this particular garment works on all skin tones. No more wondering if a certain color will wash you out in photos or cause you to look like a humongous color bomb coming towards people.

Milan di Rouge’s swimsuit is a simple monochromatic design with white striping that cinches in at the waist. This is great because not only is the color black already slimming, but the suits design layout will make your waist appear smaller. Score! Furthermore, the tones black and white will always be a classic pairing that easily looks upscale, modern and voguish.

One last plus is that this suit can also do double duty. For a bit now bodysuits have been a big fashion trend. The “Taylor” although designed as swimwear can easily be worn like a bodysuit with shorts or pants and no one would be the wiser. For instance, artist New York Taylorr hit us with an one-two style punch pairing the Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit with distressed denim pants. She accessorized her look with racy, ankle strap heels and a stunning jeweled choker. This definitely what we call “a look.”

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Amber Rose, Amandla Steinberg and now Miss Keke Palmer is joining the club! Keke Palmer hit up her social platforms and handed fans a complete and total shocker. All… hair… gone (in our Justin Timblerlake voice). With this newest sighting it is safe to say that the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle shows no signs of slowing down.

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

There are certain celebrities who just rock short hair better than any other female on earth. We immediately think Halle Berry, Teyana Taylor, Maria Borges, Toni Braxton, India Westbrooks, Amilna Estevao, Slick Woods and Ysaunny Brito to name a few. Moreover, KeKe Palmer fits right in with that exclusive list of gorgeous, trendy women.

Keke Palmer first gave us Angela Bassett (shoot, she’s also on the list too honeys!) vibes when she originally cut her strands down to a crop cut. Now it looks like the actress and novel writer is going a step further. Palmer’s shaved head hairstyle is bold all on its own, but she incorporated yet another additional fiery touch.

Keke adds more edge to her style thanks to a fire engine red hair color. Which is why we are saying, “Ring the alarm Miss Palmer!” Her look is definitely fierce and boisterous as well as not for the faint of hair heart. Are you brave enough to try out the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle?

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses on Erykah Badu

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

No not the movie our loves! “The Fugitive” is a chic pair of sunnies that is making their way onto the faces of all the rich and fabulous. From singers to models they are all copping a pair faster than you can utter, “Say what?!” Therefore, today we are giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a Fashionable Mention!

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses

It is very difficult to make something look super modern without it being sort of corny or contrived. However, designer Adam Selman is having no problems giving his Adam Selman x Le Specs sunglasses collection some serious edginess. The Fugitive comes across as a design playing off the classic cat-eye shape, just slightly more exaggerated.

However, Adam’s ingenuity and aesthetic talents are no surprise to anyone. This is the very man responsible for Rihanna‘s iconic CFDA gown. Furthermore, if you are keeping up with Rih’s killer Cannes 2017 looks Selman is behind the dress she wore to the Chopard Space Party. Also, who of us can forget his show-stopper human bouquet look from his Fall 2017 fashion show? The man is a fresh breath of air in fashion and just gets it!

Therefore, who all is giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a spin? Too many starlets to count, but some of our favorites to rock the look include the one-of-a-kind Erykah Badu as well as model GiGi Hadid. Social “It Girl” Sophia Richie has also been spotted in The Fugitive. Therefore, it is obvious that this is great, trendy fashion accessory, but the question is would you wear these babies?

Life would be so grand if we all had a fairy godmother who could whip us up a dress with a wave of wand. However, that’s just not how dresses get made. There is sketching, pulling fabrics, tons of sewing as well as fittings. Dior revealed a little BTS information about Rihanna’s Cannes Film Festival gown. The fashion house stated,

It’s Finally Here! Check Out the Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

We have all waited patiently and the moment is finally here! Luxury jewelry and accessories label Chopard promised that RiRi’s collaborative collection would finally make its big debut at one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As a result, we are excited to say… They delivered! We have your first look at The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal!

It’s Here! The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

She just can’t slay us like this! Rihanna’s Chopard collection is voguish and oozing with glamour. The imagery captured for the collection which is now on display is sophisticated and high-end. Fashioned in a very simple side profile pose, Fenty showcases a few of her magnificent pieces.

Probably the most recognizable piece is the Rihanna Loves Chopard Chandelier Earrings. These dazzling couture adornments shine bright with jewel encrusted florals and butterflies beaming of boisterous, vibrant hues. The overall look is reminiscent of spring and all of its blossoming flowers.

All year long Rihanna has been blessing us with previews of her collection. For instance at the 2016 Grammy Awards Rih hit the red carpet in her chandelier earrings. Moreover, more recently there was a spotting during the 2017 Met Gala. Of course, it was hard for anyone to take their eyes off of Rihanna’s Comme des Garcons garb as well as HOT Dsquared sandals. However, if you looked past all that fabulousness you may have gazed upon a few more pieces from the Rihanna Loves Chopard collection. Well played RiRi!

The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Dinner

The queen of slay continues to set the level high for trends. Rihanna stunned in a gorgeous noire gown by Ralph and Russo. Her amazing stylist, Mel Ottenberg, finished her ensemble with a matching clutch handbag by Roger Vivier and of course, Chopard jewelry.

We love how Rih used her beauty accessories to add a pop of color to her luxurious look. On her nails and lips we spy a rouge infusion. The color red denotes sass, allurement, sex appeal and love. All terms that perfectly reflect Rihanna as well as her collection.

Rihanna’s hair for the dinner is textbook. When wearing such a structural, statement piece hair should be kept simple in order not to distract. Our Badgal’s tresses were pulled back into a sleek chignon with deep middle part for extra drama.

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival- Play Time!

“Playing around in my Rihanna Loves Chopard Collection!” That was Rihanna’s excited announcement on social during her Chopard festivities. Miss Fenty modeled several luxe jewelry pieces from her collection, each making her “shine bright like a diamond.”

Rihanna also took a moment to thank Chopard for the collaboration. She states,

“Thank you to the wonderful Caroline Scheufele for such an unbelievable opportunity to create high end jewelry for the first time in my career. Had a blast tonight at the official launch for our collaboration! RiRi Loves Chopard!”

Congratulations to Rihanna and Chopard on a lovely collaboration and collection. Furthermore, we can’t wait to see what Rihanna designs next!

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

Arianne Suggs May 18, 2017May 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Item: Karrueche‘s glamorous belted look seen as Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws.’

You Asked: Hey I’ve been really trying to change up my style because I want to be a model one day. And I really like Karrueche’s dress from today. Do you guys know who makes it?

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

The Verdict: We really like Karrueche’s OOTD too! The off the shoulder trend is still red hot so Miss Tran is flexing her “It Girl” style status. Her dress is actually not a dress at all. Karrueche’s awesome stylist, Byron Javor revealed that it is a chic jacket by Fendi. Javor simply converted the jacket into a dress that effortlessly fits Tran’s petite and toned frame.

Furthermore, in order to not get lost in the jacket Karrueche belted her ensemble. Her belt is a design by BCBGMAXAZRIA which matched her Fendi jacket’s pockets. Her black belt not only helps to bring her look together with cohesion, but also aids in enhancing Karrueche’s waistline. Belts are an excellent and simple accessory to utilize in order to create an hourglass figure even when wearing bulky garments.

Nevertheless, no outfit is complete without a bomb pair of heels. Tran’s cute ankle strap heels are a sexy design by luxury shoe designer, Giuseppe Zanotti. Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
