TV One Triumph Awards Fashion Color Trend: Jet Black

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 4, 2015October 4, 2015Leave a Comment

Black Hollywood as well as other influential black entertainers came out to support the 2015 Triumph Awards which were hosted by funny lady, Tichina Arnold. The star-studded show aired just last night (October 3rd) with appearances by Tyrese Gibson, T.I., Soledad O’Brien, John Legend, and Wanda Sykes. The Triumph Awards were created in order to recognize the positive effect and impact individuals of color are having on the community. Among this year’s honorees were: Chief Diversity Officer and Global Director of Education and External Relations for Intel Rosalind Hudnell, Wanda Sykes, Tyrese Gibson, John Legend as well as civil rights leader Reverend Dr. Joseph Echols Lowery.

There were many reasons to feel proud last night after taking in such an empowering show. As the saying goes, ‘Teamwork makes the dream work,’ so working unitedly towards a positive end will accomplish the most good. Speaking of good, what other wonderful sights were able to be seen?

We could not help but take note of all the glam that went down including one trend in particular. It seemed that as if everyone got the same memo before the show…that black was the color to wear! Enjoy the red carpet fashion highlights and congratulations to all of this year’s impactful honorees.

Tome Spring 2016 NYFW

Designer: Ramon Martin and Ryan Lobo

Models Who Walked the Show: Aamito Lagum, Maria Borges, Leomie Anderson, Marihenny Rivera, Herieth Paul and Yasmin Warsame

On The Runway: Artisan flare with eccentric menswear touch. Stripes, trousers and very loose fitting silhouettes which made since because their muse was the pioneering Australian visual artist Fiona Hall. And another running theme we keep seeing on the runway is effortless hair pulled back into messy low bun or hair slicked down pushed off the face.

The Met Ball 2015: Purple and Blue

Celebrities always aim to bring their “A” game for The Met Ball, one of the biggest fashion events of the year. The theme for this year’s gala was “China: Through The Looking Glass.” Starlets and gentlemen arrived to showcase their take and perspective on the night’s theme through their own personal style. Color seemed to be a the way to go and we noticed purple and blues were repeatedly spotted.

First Look: Zoe Kravitz Covers Marie Claire

Arianne Suggs April 20, 2015April 20, 2015Leave a Comment

Zoe Kravitz is Marie Claire’s newest covergirl and on the cover as well as inside the May 2015 issue Zoe flexes some style muscle. For the cover she wears a moto jacket from the Pre-Fall 2015 Christopher Kane collection. Another shot we loved shows Kravitz in a cute knit sweater dress with snake skin boots. Nevertheless, Zoe also revealed a little insight into her own style preferences:

“I’ve been trying the art of dressing up sweatpants. I feel like an NYU student. Not in a good way. But if you wear them with, like, a chunky boot, it’s kind of cool.”
