The Item: Gabby Douglas Wears Milly Couture and her spicy heels. As seen at the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Sports 2017.

You Asked: This is the best I have ever seen Gabby look! She is soooo right she is a black Barbie! I love sparkle so I really like everything she is wearing for Kid’s Choice. So her clothes are from Milly right? I never heard of it so wanted to be sure and I really want her shoes. OMG if I can have those I would be in heaven!

Ask and Tell: Gabby Douglas Wears Milly Couture to Kid’s Choice Sports 2017

The Verdict: Thanks for reaching out our fashionable friend and we have to agree that Gabby slayed every life she came into contact with! Moreover, you are absolutely correct, Gabby’s ensemble is by fashion brand, Milly. Milly is a couture label that was founded by Michelle Smith. Smith’s fab designs have been seen on Venus Williams, Yara Shahidi, Hannah Bronfman, Solange Knowles as well as Coco and Breezy, just to name a few.

As for those amazing heels you are desiring. They are by Pedro Garcia, a Spanish shoe brand that has been in business since 1925. Nevertheless, here is a little extra couture tidbit. Douglas’ gorgeous red carpet fashion moment was finished off with jewelry by David Yurman.

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.

Ask and Tell: Beyonce Wears Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW

Arianne Suggs July 14, 2017July 14, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Beyonce’s LA ensemble including Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW skirt.

You Asked: My question is kind of two parts so bear with me! First, I must have that skirt it is so pretty and I love the high waist! I have some stomach on me and curves so it would be nice to hide some of it lol I take it that is why Beyonce is wearing it too. Giving birth changes the body but what she is wearing is classy and beautiful but still shows off her body. So yes tell me about that skirt and what else she wearing too thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell: Beyonce Wears Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW

The Verdict: Hey there! Thanks for the detailed the question and yes Bey’s skirt is bomb dot com! The skirt is by Zimmermann and is from the Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW (ready to wear) collection.

We have to agree with you in regards to the fit. High waisted skirts are a secret fashion weapon that can be use to disguise a tummy. Actually, any high waist garment i.e. skirts, pants and shorts help to flatten and tuck in a belly. Therefore, if this is your aim then definitely buy Beyonce’s skirt!

Now let’s quickly review the rest of Beyonce’s OOTD. Bey paired her Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW skirt with a white blouse by Ellery and handbag designed by Brother Vellies. Lastly, Beyonce capped off her look with a sexy pair of Azzedine Alaia sandals.

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.

And MeUndies new collaboration with Cross Colours just landed!”

Justine looked beyond cute modeling her boisterous under-roos. MeUndies recently took a moment to explain the collaboration as well as Cross Colours long time influence in the fashion world. The brand reveals,

“Our collaboration with the iconic Cross Colours hits 90s freshness in today’s style. Keep your summer looks fresh. Color blocking and triple needle stitch details with limited edition branding.

Throughout the 90s, Cross Colours iconic style was worn by stars like TLC, Muhammad Ali and even the Fresh Prince of Bel Air [Will Smith]. In the 90s, streetwear was everywhere and leading the pack was the iconic Cross Colours. As street fashion hit the runway, CxC was the brand that everyone looked to. CxC founders gave a voice to hip hop culture and streetwear in the world of 90s fashion with their iconic color blocking looks.”

Zendaya Outdoor Shoot: Copy Her to Boost Immune System!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 10, 2017July 10, 2017Leave a Comment

Zendaya has many reasons to be one happy ball of joy. For instance, her new film, Spiderman Homecoming is now in theaters. The blockbuster film lived up to Marvel’s expectations and took in a whopping $257 million (worldwide) at the box office for its first week of release. In celebration Zendaya hit up social with a flurry of outdoor photos showcasing her insane beauty as well as melanin. Copy her fab, personal outdoor party and you will boost immune system in the process!

Zendaya Outdoor Shoot: Copy Her to Boost Immune System

Miss Zendaya looks beautiful for her impromptu outdoor shoot. The great thing is you can reap all the beauty benefits too if you do the same and march right out your front door. Just by being outside you can gain a little pep in your step thanks to vitamin D. Our little bright and warm friend in the sky (the sun) provides this nutrient naturally. Vitamin D is essential for bone/teeth growth and development as well as a defense and resistance against some diseases.

Plus, fresh air in general helps to increase the production of serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a hormone that can not only significantly lighten your mood, but promote a sense of well-being too! Therefore, if you ever feel yourself being a little anxious, stressed or just plain in the blues. Get up, put your shoes on and go outside. Nature will help put you back on the right track.

A few other benefits of being outside include: more energy, boost immune system, cleans lungs and supports brain health. So then, model yourself after Zendaya and get outside. Your body will thank you!

Naomi Campbell Walks for Azzedine Alaia AW 2017 Runway Show

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 7, 2017July 6, 2017Leave a Comment

The queen and king have returned! Renown designer, Azzedine Alaia, debuted a new runway show collection after a six year hiatus! Over the years, Alaia and Campbell have shared some fabulously epic couture moments. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that this fashion royalty duo would come back together and create even more iconic history. With that being said, Paris Couture Week is leveling up once more as Naomi Campbell Walks for Azzedine Alaia AW 2017 Runway Show!

Naomi Campbell Walks for Azzedine Alaia AW 2017 Runway Show

Supermodel Naomi Campbell opening and closing the show for Azzedine Alaia is no small feat. Especially, in an industry that heralds and glamorizes youth and beauty. Models are literally in one day and out the next.

The average model’s career is less than five years. However, supermodel Naomi Campbell has been walking in shows for Azzedine Alaia for over three decades.

Yes, let that set in. Since 1983 Miss Campbell’s signature strut has been a staple on any catwalk associated with Azzedine Alaia. For this reason we tip our six inch heels in her honor and have to say she still looks as amazing as when she began her career!

Several models who also walked in the Azzedine Alaia AW17 show were just as excited about Naomi stomping the catwalk. Here is what a few had to say.

“[Hashtag] WCW today and everyday, Naomi Campbell. These two (Naomi and Alaia) are true masters at their craft. Thank you Azzedine Alaia for inspiring me and the entire world! With the passion and love that you bring to all that you do.

-Karlie Kloss

“Can’t believe I walked the show with the legend Naomi Campbell. Feeling so lucky to be here at Azzedine Alaia show.”

-Diana Moskalets
